Nah, I actually think we would have done the right thing. Still been mugged, but we are better placed than say a year ago, in both positions, to cope with it.
Unfortunate side of the modern game. Running down a contract gives a player so much power. Ozil and Sanchez both got ridiculous financial rewards for stringing Arsenal along, there's no real downside for a top player, unless their form falls off a cliff (which has actually happened to both of these players after they got their big pay day).]
I do believe that Eriksen is doing it for potential dream transfer leverage however.
