We'll just have to agree to disagree here

True but I think this is slightly different. He wasn't responding to a direct question like 'what do you think of teammate x or y', he was trying to come up with an explanation as to why they weren't playing as well as they did in the previous season, he could have easily answered the question without mentioning Pogba. For me the fact that he did means that was what he genuinely thought 

Anyway, you are right, let's agree to disagree. 

Can't call Mbappe world class yet, while his weekly competition is in Ligue 1.

"I remember today, a conversation I had with Henry, a historic Arsenal player, who changed club for the same reason and today is my turn."

🙁

Wow that last bit really sticks the knife in. I can imagine Ozil using the same argument when he trots off for free in the summer.

He can fuck right off with that comment, van Persie esque attempt to manipulate fans.

He’s gonna flop guys. The stick he’ll get will be lovely to watch

The guy agreed to join City and would be there were it not for Monaco rejecting our bid for Lemar yet the sex creep is rolling out lines about wanting to play at the swamp and for Jose

Henry and him can never be compared. Henry won titles with us and loved the club, putting himself in the same sentence as Thierry is a big insult.

I don't think Henry would stay here either under the current regime at the club, and neither should he. If you stay or join the current Arsenal you have to ask serious questions about the player.

If Utd paid the money Wenger wouldn't hesitate to sell for a second.

He did join the current Arsenal.

He didn't. None of us thought we'd be in this situation when we signed him in 2014 did we

I agree with Quincy, fuck him for going to United. But at the same time he's not RVP, he was a great player for us but nothing more, there's no alleged loyalty pledges or captain fantastic horseshit with him and he does have some point. The blame should lie with the club first and foremost

And Ramsey next season I guess. Will they be coming for him too? 

It's a sad day.

Alexis will tear it up for them.

Maybe not, but there wasn't huge optimism here either. He joined perennial 4th placed losers and he left a team in a similar position.

Agree, on your latter point, I don't really hate him, but he can still get stuffed.

I'm appalled at how we've normalised selling our best players to those cunts. Not to mention they are being managed by a horrible human being, utter disgrace of a man, who has time and again disrepected our club and manager, constantly making distasteful comments towards Wenger. I'd never ever sell even one of our duds to him. That momentary joy/happinnes/satisfaction, however shortlived it is, is something that I'm unwilling to grant that cunt. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind we'd sell Ozil to them if they came in with what we'd regard as a 'good' bid.

We are handing them a fresh Sanchez,  fully rested. Why didn't we run the little fucker into the ground when we knew fully well we'll be selling him to one of the big clubs in the league ? Why did we rest the fucker in our must win FA cup tie? ?????!!!!

Bravo Arsenal!

Absolutely.

Seeing my favourite Arsenal player go to probably the club I dislike most, while we get their reject.

Things may work out in our favour depending on how both players perform, but I wouldn't bet on Mkhitaryan being nearly as influential as Alexis once was for us.
