Hi Eds a question for you guys, reading on the Arsenal page that you belive we are being asset stripped with all our best talent being sold and not all the money being reinvested.
What do you think the clubs plans are, do you think the owner is getting ready to sell or do you think she is looking forward to a relagation battle? can't see the manager being too happy with the situation do you think they lied to him when they appointed him and what's the chances of him moving on?
Thanks in advance and we won't give you boys any greif as youve been proved right when you tried warning us earlier.

{Ed001's Note - it is not really an asset strip as such. They don't want to get rid of all the talent, they just want to run on an even keel. Rather than spending 3 years getting the club back into the black, they are doing it one go this summer.

My opinion, and it is just an opinion, is that they would like to sell once they clear the debt. They won't want to asset strip as that would destroy the sale value. They are, imo, gambling that Koeman will keep you in the Prem on a reduced budget and they can then sell at a higher price.

I do expect a proportion of the sales to be reinvested, but nothing like all of it.}

In boards interest to keep quiet whilst papers want to play up every whisper ans stir stories. How can we know what's really happening? Need some faith. Buying players hardly like nipping down Aldi. more like buying house. Masses to check, competing buyers but purchase has go gel with others and can turn buyer down! Think this a quick process to do right?Lets see when window closes.
