Keeping him is a better investment than what ever money we get for him from city.

I can see that argument. But, I could also see where a disgruntled player becomes a nuisance in the locker room and on the field. I mean, how many times did we see Alexis just raise his hands up in the air in frustration and pout on the field last season? Do you think that will happen less, with him not getting his perceived wish of leaving for City? He may still give it his all because he is such a competitor, but who knows how it would turn out.

Even if we do not sell him to City this year and collect some money in return, he can just leave and go there next year and we are left with nothing.

In my opinion, if he wants to leave, sell him and invest the money you make on that sell into buying younger or comparable players who would be happy to play at Arsenal.
