One thing I'm not understanding is the whole dynamics of loans for Mkhi and Elneny. Do we envisage a future for them at Arsenal, or could we not crack a perma deal? 'Course it's the latter, however, couldn't we simply sell Mkhi for £10m, or Elneny for £5m?
I've read conflicting things on the terms of Micky's loan deal, as some have said there is an option to buy for Roma. But with Elneny, there is definitely an option for Besiktas to buy him for a fee of €18m. I hope he does well enough so that they buy him.
The biggest stumbling block for Micky leaving on a permanent deal is his age and his lucrative wages, which very few clubs will be willing to pay. Elneny's still relatively young, but for the calibre of clubs he will attract, £55k p/w is quite a hefty chunk.
At least they will both be off the books for the next year though.
