First of all a big woop woop for the creators of this site, it looks very good.
Right, after that bit of brown nosing, I can go onto more important matters. Denilson looks certain to leave this summer, and many of you on here think that it seems like a good move for him and the club. I couldn't agree more, we are used to taking young players and fulfilling their ambition, that however, means by no means that any young Arsenal player is destined for fame. If Denilson does leave, it could show an end to Wengers patients, and might open the door for more clubs to bid for some of the younger players who have failed to make an impression.
Having said that, I do think that we need to fight more for our star players. Nasri is 23 years old and has improved drastically this season with no signs of him having reached his potential. If we don't offer him 100k a week I think he will go. The reason why Fabregas is still playing for us is because he wants to until he is sure to get first team football at Barcelona. In Nasri's case it's a little different, he has only been with us for a few seasons and he has no strong ties with the club. I am sure he loves playing for us, but if a team with more potential, or even more money came along, it would not surprise me if he left.
What we need to stop is this cycle of good players joining us and great players leaving us. We were seriously challenging for major trophies this year, but if our best players leave than we are back at square one, and will be fighting for a top 4 place rather than fighting to become champions.
Feel free to throw in your bit of change too.

Why are players not loyal to Arsenal!?
Don't they realise they are playing for Arsenal!?
I can understand if Denilson wants to go, he's fallen down in the pecking order with Ramsey and Wilshere emerging this season do smilies work now?

I think people have just got fed up waiting. All the players seem to be looking around at the others and thinking that the people around them are not good enough.
No-one thinks Fabregas wants to be there, the Captaincy should be taken away from him.
All of us other supportes of other clubs know that if you were to buy three strong, experienced players down the spine of your team, you could win the league. We also know, up to this point, he won't do it.
If Wenger swallows his pride, you could be right up there.
