Willian probably glad to leave this sinking ship. Realised pretty quickly that 'winning the Champions League in 3 years' was just hilarious and the three stooges were rank amateurs.

No, I hoped he'd be the second coming of Wenger, but sadly he turned out to be the second coming of Tony Pulis. Only not that good.You said Mikel was the second coming of Wenger ffs

One good game, the first, one decent game, the last. Isn't that breach of contract? He should probably be paying us.

As I have mentioned in the Kola thread, paying most of the wages to get someone to leave sets a very dangerous precedent. More and more players will try to pull this off.
If a player decides to down tools & no other club wants him, what are you supposed to do? Just let him stink up the place with a bad attitude?

Never heard of players downing tools with previous managers, it’s a new phenomena . . like being mid table.

I see you’re just as boring now as when Wenger was still at the club.

It wasn’t decline. That doesn’t even make sense. Seems like he was here in body but not in mind. Loads of factors— we are aware of and some we aren’t—are at home play when a player just doesn’t produce what he’s shown he can. For what it’s worth his form was actually good from just before Christmas until he stopped playing again.
We actually got a few good players that have been absolute **** this past 18 months, haven’t we? Hmmm.

Leave them out of the squad. At least that will be a message to others. Would you rather do that or pay everyone and put up a poster that says Arsenal is run by a bunch of losers who you can fleece for money?

Tbf I don't think it has anything to do with managers. It's related to inflated wages. Assume a 31 years old contracted to a club until he is 33 years old. Player's wages in the past meant that the contract they win after 33 is crucial to achieve their financial goals. So they have to work hard and prove that they are still worth it. Players were trying to extend their careers as much as possible until their bodies completely gave away.
The current wages of over 200K per week for certain players means that they are totally happy to retire even at 33. Their future contracts don't even matter. So once they land their bumper contract, they already go into the retirement mode with some exceptions like Ronaldo, Messi. Chelsea already adapted to it by establishing a strict "no contract longer than 2 years for over 30s". Other clubs should follow that path soon.

See the club have confirmed him & Ben White have tested positive for Covid. I wonder how that affects any medicals, travelling in terms of end of the window.
He had it before the Brentford game so he’s probably getting over it now. It’s most likely being used as a reason as to why he isn’t available until his future is sorted out.

One thing the club has done right this window is to go after younger players. Signing these older players that are looking for a final payday is not a good idea.
This has been a disastrous signing, and a waste of good money.
