Not for a long time.
The days of eeking out 'one more year' from Denis Berkamp was a decade ago.
You can't accuse Arsenal of being ageist with their defence, midfield and Giroud.
If anything the squad is too old.
I don't see the point of getting hung up by the price tag.
Let's not forget Arsenal are sitting on something like £150,000,000 before the £200,000,000 cheque lands on the doorstep.
To paraphrase indy3050:-
£20m has just become 'only' £20m.
Meanwhile elsewhere in the league:-
Stoke City set to sign Norwich starlet Nathan Redmond after winger rejects new Canaries deal
The 22-year-old has just 12 months left and Norwich are now resigned to cashing in on the £10million-rated winger...
This could still be hijacked by palace.
Although I have no idea why Vardy would want to play for a bunch of...
,,,wait for it...
...gypsies tramps and thieves.
Boom ***drops the mic***
