Add up the money, the opportunity to go to a better club and the fact that Champions League is at least 2-3 years away from happening at Arsenal.
He's gone come summer, no doubt at all, unless the club simply let him run down another 12 months and he walks.
What would you do DG ?
I can see merit in keeping him if he wants to leave and make him play out his contract
Alternatively I can see playing Eddie and martinelli having merit we then have an auba transfer fee to invest
Either way the bussiness should have already been done
This one is on the club, its their budget, their money.
I love Auba, just look at that goal he scored, that is WC but if he doesn't want to be here next year or AFC tells us when he runs down his contract that they can't afford another striker then that's the trade off.
So again, this is the clubs decision, they will know how it may harm their budget or how badly he is saying behind closed doors if he's willing to run down his contract or that he desperately wants out in summer, keeping a top player who wants out rarely ends well.
