Yeah despite what the article I posted wrote, BBC said its £10.5m down and I guess as GA says the 12m is based on goals he'll never get.

For £10.5m no wonder Valencia were dishing out smilies yesterday on social media, they just got a prime age newly minted half decent CDM for £10m, I'd be smiling too for that money.

If we replaced him with top player great, looks like we aren't though.
Exactly. Sad to see him go. Most ability in defending of all our.midfielders. beast



This.

Our sales make even less sense than our purchases half the time :think:


It's mind-boggling that we wish to retain Welbeck and Iwobi, whilst getting rid of Lucas and Coquelin.

Even more so when Iwobi is Ozil's replacement...

From the reaction of people on here, you'd think he's started a lot of games for us this season. Has he even played 10 games this season?

Another complete f**k up by the club.

He's another that wasn't used properly by Wenger. Those first two seasons when he returned out of nowhere he looked like he could become a real top defensive midfielder but like Marshbar said, he then started playing in different midfield roles and it's cost him.

He did have some brain fart moments at times but they can be ironed out. He's got the tools to be one of the best defensive midfielders.

Don't be surprised if he makes a late push for Frances World Cup squad.

As for the £12 million - Christ :rolleyes:

Well, as well, well... Iwobi as well has 19 appearances for us this season as well Welbeck who has super-duper 21 appearances. Well...

Take Ozil and Alexis out, and Lacazette who's a notch beneath the two, we don't even have a best player. Put that into perspective.

Was a very good servant for Arsenal. Will be remembered best for his awesome 2014-2015 season alongside Santi.

Best of luck Coq!

Well put in a shift for us not mad at him going. Needs to play wenegrs lost the plot andno longer playing him. We got him for free and made profit. So not bad But the problem is do we have a replacement and is this money getting resused.

He was a revelation during his breakthrough season.

Plus he was a nutter and brought the shithousery.

Good luck.
