Why didn't we loan him instead of sell? Seems stupid considering he has potential. Even from a business point of view, let alone football

For whatever reason we prefer to hang on to the likes of Squillaci and Santos.

He would have been much cheaper to keep and would have fetched better value.

Why didn't we just flog him to Rangers, he seemed quite happy there.

He was part of Wengers plans pre-season. But HE wanted to move to swansea. Nothing to do with the club not wanting him.

“He [Kyle Bartley] was especially impatient and I couldn’t promise him to play with the number of centre-backs we had."

What a f***ing shame! Looked great today. The sort of aggressive CB we lack tbh. £1 million could end up being an absolute steal if he can stay fit.

Put in a shit tackle on Wilhsere though. Could have been red on another day. Did that a bit at Rangers too.

So he likes to get stuck in. Is that really a bad thing?

There's getting stuck in, and there's being a liability with constant bad tackles. Basically the difference between Frimpong and Wilshere.

Another example of this underlying argument about Arsene having preference to the youth products brought in from outside the UK. People like Brady have became annoyed with the tendencyt to persevere with foreign players when the break into the team while homegrown products are given extremely limited playing time to prove themselves. I honestly believe Bartlety would have made more headway had he been given the opportunity and patience afforded to Djourou
