It's not what he actually said though.

No, but if those quotes aren't mistranslated, he did clearly link his satisfaction as a player, and the possibility he might want to leave in future, with a change to the status quo of scraping into the top four and references to the "means" of the club.

Pretty typical stuff.

Even if he goes to Tottenham or Man Utd, I'll have nothing against him. Remember: we are the ones selling him.

If he went to United or Spurs he'd be scum by my lights, unless we actively pushed him to leave and to choose one of those two clubs.

However, with four years left on his contract it would be equally inexcusable on the part of Wenger.

Qwiss

Arseblog has these quoted as the questions he was asked

‘Regarding your future, where will you play next season?’
‘Isn’t it gruelling to go through season after season without winning trophies? What could incite you to leave?’
‘PSG are on your case, have they been in touch?’

So its pretty leading.

One thing for sure, if we sell Kos for 15m we are never going to get a defender as good for the same amount.

dreamlord

Nope, but we'll have made a 10M profit.

😉

Clrnc

We signed him for 10m.

Amstel

If a Koscielny will/won't he leave scenario is the biggest story of our Summer, then this Summer is going to be abit of a wet blanket.

Bold Tone

Season's over and journalists are trying to manufacture stories to try and sell papers over the summer.
With our "will he go/stay" record over the past summers, it's not surprising that they are back, fishing.

Timbob

Clear as day that he's going the second we get a decent offer tbf.

Bold Tone

What would represent a decent offer to Wenger for Kos?

Coombs

A profit.

Anything above 20 and Kos nudging him.

dreamlord

Wenger won't sell him ; it's his last season at Arsenal, he's not bothered about making money anymore IMO.

Biggus

You keep saying that Dreamy, oh how I wish it will come through!

Bold Tone

😆 was about to post "Biggus likes this!"

Rex

Think Wengie will be here for at least 3 more years myself. We will see.

Coombs

Think he'll just try and beat Ferguson's record out of spite.

Kurtz

If we win titles next season, especially the PL, I think he'll go/retire. He doesn't break contracts, and it'd be the best time and way to leave. If we go trophyless again, he'll commit to 3-4 more years, especially with all that new Puma money coming in/stadium debt being managed. One thing is sure, he won't be sacked. (Unless he did something really crazy like put himself in the lineup, made the team wear tiger suits in training).

dreamlord

I think the opposite. If we win the cup/PL/CL he'll stay, else he'll leave.

asajoseph

I think he'll go at the end of this season, no matter what.
