Good day Ed,

I read a somewhat worrying story about Arsenal being willing to sell Guendouzi for €60MM in the summer, with PSG interested.

Are we really in such a financial predicament that we would consider selling Matteo? I think he's going to be a world beater.

Thanks,

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any plans to sell Guendouzi at this time.}

He's a gooner and looks like he's living his dream at the moment so I doubt very much he would swap our team for PSG squad place and bench should injury allow for a few dollars more at this stage of his career.
The passion he shows both on the pitch and from the side lines doesn't give me the impression he'd swap playing for banking more money.

In 3 to 4 years time he may out grow Arsenal if he starts to deliver on all that wonderful potential and we don't progress with him beyond 4th place hopefuls by becoming genuine contenders but for now I'm pretty sure he's very happy at Arsenal.

We should be building a team round Gouendouzi if we are looking to break back into the top four. It is obvious that big teams will be sniffing, he is pure class but he is an arsenal fan and i think we will keep him for a few more years. Him and torreira should be the future of a great potential midfield.

I would be very surprised if Gouendouzi was sold, he is an arsenal fan, playing for his club st 19. As a club the midfield duo of him and torreira are the future for the next three or gour seasons. The club should be building round players like him. I for one would be devastated if he is sold on for profit over progress. I don't see it.

I never really thought of this until now but it'll be interesting to see how players with such potential turn out at arsenal. Not putting the blame at arsene but so many potential world betters last 5 plus years all seemed to get to a good point and stopped progressing. Ox and Walcott spring to mind im sure there's more but they seemed to look impressive then get to a point at arsenal and just stop.

No disrespect to anyone of our other youngsters but Guendouzi isn't Arsenal produced and it shows, he's young he's quite raw and full of enthusiasm and passion.
He reminds me more of Petit than anyone in that respect.
He will run through a brick wall for the team but also has real talent to match all that enthusiasm.
Footballing ability is only half the package needed to make to the very top and if you haven't got the heart the desire the passion to go with the ability you will always be talked of as potential, like Theo always was.
