“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
Surprising that every staff member of my bezzie resort in Fujairah with whom I have spoken (many) goes home for a month every year and returns. It's almost as if the lazy generalization you're using is just that, a lazy generalization.
They all love it where I go, mostly because I'm there, of course. Get waited on hand and foot. Only 5 months to go for my next trip!
