Whatever your opinion of why we are where we are I cant help but feel the ex-players are getting....

[Classic Jorge]

...away with a large part of the deserved blame.

Cesc, Song, Clichy, Nasri, RaPe and Adebayor all contributed to us being where we are. In some cases they actually drove down their fee and played merry hell with agents to engineer a move away.

Utter, utter c**ts to a man and all should be held massively responsible. Two of those c**ts were our captain FFS.

[Pat Vegas]

Already too much on him imo

Fortunately he doesn't have Barca DNA but DNA can change.

8 years for a kid from Catalunya who presumably could have forced a move earlier? How can we be disappointed by that?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I think we did quite handsomely on the players named so how they drove their fees down is beyond me.

Perhaps Cesc, but then we know who ultimately sanctioned that sale at the fee involved.

Of course if you're desperate to blame somebody then carry on.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

They all play games, win things and get paid.

They wanted to leave the football club, no point in sticking pins or needles into small dummies of them.

ways

[PSRB]

assuming of course that Barca have actually paid any of it

[Rich]

As you say - complete c**t.

[Classic Jorge]

Both drove their fees down as they essentially removed any demand and fixed their market value.

Both were our captains and both issued ridiculous and unprofessional statements in order to drive down a move.

I just dont get how players somehow escape the blame, Wenger put enough trust in them to warrant some in return. They've effectively left him in the ****.

[Pat Vegas]

will f**k off and we'll end up with a bunch of misfits'

Not too disastorous.

[PSRB]

it was £24.5m!!

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

They wanted to leave the club, end of.

As for leaving him in the **** you need to grow up. Players leave clubs, it is how they are replaced which is the mark of the club and/or manager.

Do you take a similarly negative view of players who leave their clubs in the lurch to join us?

[Classic Jorge]

I cant work out if you're being obdurate or cynical or a mix of the two.

The fact is Arsene put a massive amount of faith in those players, and by proxy so did we, and it wasnt reciprocated.

Am I surprised? No. Does it stop me feeling let down? No

[Classic Jorge]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I support the club, always will.

The specific details of a lot of the individial employees I couldn't give two f**ks about. If I think they are a c**t I will say so, and the opposite applies.

What they do off the pitch is of no f**king interest to me. You won't find any of them in my Twitter feed.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

It's an armband, f**k all else.

Almunia was captain for a while, possibly the biggest c**t to play for the club in recent memory. The very fact that he was number 1 goalkeeper at a club of the perceived stature of ours was a farce, never mind captain.

I think Fabianski was once also.


Captain

:****er:

Have a f**kign word with yourself.

[Monty91]

joining other clubs so as to create a bidding war and force their prices up? Would their new clubs have taken kindly to that?

[Classic Jorge]

Like any cynic I'm a hopeless romantic at heart

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

All the while keeping us in the cl with their performances.
