If phil jones is your future at cb and he's not for sale then why would cesc be for sale when he's the future of our midfield? Even if we accepted it which we have no reason for it just means arsenal would get him anyway. This is the transfer with the least logic in the history of football.
Never thought we could get him, should of bid around may ish if we really wanted him over Thiago. Though i do not think Cesc is the future of your current midfield, has he ever really fit in to the barca style? Could he really replace Xavi? And if a bid was to be accepted by you guys, do not think arsenal could match it i mean if we bid again it would be more than our transfer record + then you have got the wages required unless the 50% clause is true.
The most illogical transfer was cesc to you guys in the first place, purely emotional.
Edit : I just hope all our eggs are not in this one basket, only 20 days left.
