I do not believe a team can build success by continually selling their more dependable players. Manchester United under Alex Ferguson have been the masters of selling players at a good price, but they sell from a position of strength, after successes, not from a position of fourth place in the league and 18 points behind.
Wenger may well find another cheaper replacement for Adebayor, but will it actually make Arsenal better, which is what they must strive to be to win trophies.
Arsene Wenger was once a fantastic football manager who built superb teams who won trophies. Has the constraints of building the Emirates, which was supposed to help Arsenal compete at the top end, actually turned him in to just a very good bank manager?
You can trust him with your money, but it seems, you can no longer trust him to maintain a winning team, and persuade players to stay with the Arsenal project.
