Monreal Gone

Elneny has gone on loan to besiktas

Sad to see him go. Past his best, but always gave it 100%.

Good luck Nacho

Might as well keep Mustafi unless we get an offer

Mustafi at LB, you heard it here first

Would have liked to have kept Monreal for another year, he was our longest serving player in the current team before today, it is now Ozil in terms of first team players, crazy how we have got rid of so many experienced players in last few years.

One of my favorite players in the team since he arrived here and until last season's nightmare run, was our most solid defender for years. This move doesn't make sense. I'd rather have sold Kolasinac than him.

A changing of the guard was always likely after Wenger. We've had Mertesacker, Arteta, Rosicky and Cech retire with us. There was also a lot of players who ran out of time to improve in Gibbs, Wilshere and Jenkinson.

I think bringing Freddie and Edu into the heart of things was necessary. We risked losing our identity. Bellerin is probably the most Arsenal player we have (not including youth promotions) atm, having been around a while now.

We don't have access to the data the club has. At 33, he's got to be close to the precipice in terms of performance. Perhaps he's shown he's falling off it.

A great player for us, would always have been omongst the first on my team sheet. Gave 100% every game. It's a shame he has to go,but fair play to Arsenal for letting him get his move before the window shuts rather spend most of this season on the bench when Tierney is ready. Good luck to Nacho,a true Gooner.
