It looks like Arsenal are trying to get Rogers to say he wants the move to drive the price down. I really hope we play hardball if that is the case. Ideally I hope Rogers isn't stupid enough to play those games.
That's not going to work. Grealish said he wanted to go, fair enough, the price is £100m.
Arsenal are a competitor, and they have a massive advantage financially. If anything we need to get more out of them as it slices off a chunk of their advantage and gives it to us for a season. It's a six-pointer.
Doing a deal for them, helping them make better use of their advantage while stopping us from making the most of our assets is just shooting ourselves in the foot.
