Didn’t necessarily want Iwobi to go as our wide options are pretty shocking but £35M is an incredible deal for Arsenal. This is probably a record sale for us 😂

More like £40M we get, Bats

To be honest, I'd rather have got rid of Mkhitaryan than Iwobi, but nobody wants Mkhitaryan off our hands, so I guess we have to stick with him (thanks Wenger and Gazidis).

It's been potential for the last 3 years and he's not really got any better

Honestly I was gonna write an article about what a pathetic window we’ve had solely on the fact that Mustafi, Ozil and Mkhi have been here but there is still a few weeks left for some European club to save our season and take these 3 off our hands

Indeed.....Mhiki's signing is a special case and only possible in the context of the Sanchez deal.

Not sure why anyone is surprised we got £35m to £40m for him. Championship players are going for over £20m nowadays. Absolute poverty players like Solanke were going for over £20m last season.

Would be silly to write an article like this because Arsenal had a very good transfer window.

Genuinely mystifies me how we struggle so much to get rid of deadwood. It's not like we're Fulham or something. Mustafi could go back to Germany or even some Serie A clubs and rebuild his battered reputation. Mkhi had a great reputation in Germany. Why can't some German club take him?

Why aren't we lucky enough that some mugs in China would swoop in to take Ozil from us and pay him £500k a week?
Why is no one bidding for Kolasinac who had a great reputation in Germany (and had decent spells for us)?

Who cares about whether it was 35 or 40? Stop arguing over trifles.

Sessegnon got 2. And he just moved to Spurs for £30m.

As that's 3 more players we would have to replace, our bench was tragic last season, we needed to build up more before we let players go, at least we have some players coming through the academy that can replace iwobi on the bench

Iwobi wouldn't score as well as he did in the championship

Everton sold Ademola Lookman for about £20m too. The market is just ridiculously inflated.

The media and bigger accounts on twitter who have inside info saying it's near to 40M

I'm sorry to see him go - he showed the desire and aggression that many in our squad don't - but his finishing was sadly lacking. I wish him well. Do we still have Wellbeck?

Think the point Sheriff was making is that we couldn't get rid of a player we actually would like to have (Mkhi) so sold Iwobi instead.

No, he was out of contract.
