Yes, things worked out. He went to Barca, Barca sold us Alexis. He probably scores more than Alexis, but Alexis is Alexis, and we all love Alexis. Happy to have the team without this racist biting monster :)

Liverpool becoming Southampton. Serie A reviving.

The same old line - if we can get a top quality striker and a CM, we're done. Then who cares what other clubs are doing?

To the club, Szczesny is 1. home-grown (at least under current system, yes), 2. still young (could have 10+ years in his career); If he is willing to stay to play as backup and cup keeper, I see no point of selling him.

To the player, not sure if that's PR, but if it's truthful, Szczesny wrote "Delighted to have a chance to learn from one of the best GK's in the world!" in welcoming Cech to the club, i.e. he is okay with staying, to learn and compete with Cech.

And somehow, he has already lost his starting in Poland national team to Fabianski anyway. With Lukasz being consistent and stable, leaving Arsenal for another team doesn't mean he could snatch the Poland no.1 role back so soon.

I like all three of them. Yes, ideally, Jenkinson to be loaned out for another year to gain first team game time. Debuchy and Bellerin on rotation. In case Debuchy ages or Bellerin snatched by Spanish giants (Spaniards love going home? Idk), Jenko can come back and be part of our British core. I believe the Gooner DNA in him could make him willing to go out on loan again to make way to come back one day.
