I’m an Arsenal fan. He will be missed at Arsenal, anyone who says different has been watching a different team this past year, we have been toothless without him.
Hopefully return the likes of Wilshere, return to form of Ramsay et al, and the new blood coming in can step up. They are big shoes to fill though.
It is true that Arsenal only really got one great season out of him. The only one in which he wasn’t injury hit. I’d say he is a player at his peak, not past it as some are claiming.
If we really got £24M for him then I’d say that is a good bit of business given the inevitability of him leaving. But I’d prefer not to see him lining up against us in the Prem, would have much preferred it if we could have off-loaded him abroad.
I fear a further exodus (Song to Barcelona is being bigged up in the press) and the chances of any kind of championship challenge (what little hoep of that there was!) going out the window, probably along with top 4 status. The club is in decline and it is sad to see.
I am disappoint.
Still, at least Spurs are more **** than we are. 😉
