We lack creativity and it would have been good to just keep him around as an option if we need him, instead we've been petty and left him out, he's still getting paid and will be here until next summer regardless.
I have to say I don't really like the way people just get cut out like Guendouzi, Ozil, Saliba did, there has to be some logic involved, it's unprofessional to let personal issues get in the way of decisions.
My Grandad used to watch Arsenal back in the 50s. He told me once of an incident where an Arsenal player got sent off at Highbury. The chairman sent his security man down to the dressing room and the player was ejected from the ground and never played for he club again. That was the standard of behaviour expected by the club at the time.... being sent off was a disgrace.
It is entirely professional to freeze out players who have misbehaved. It is unprofessional not to in fact. Obviously it depends on the seriousness of the situation
