This is professional football, not a Mills & Boon novel. Doesn't matter what anybody thinks, while we are still paying him £140k a week, he is an Arsenal player.
Don't make him out to some unfortunate poor lost soul in all this. He's on money most can't dream of, he's playing his favourite game for a living and he signed the contract with Arsenal of his own free will. No one pointed a gun to his head, yet City fans seem to be taking great pleasure in guilt tripping us over keeping him as though we're some kind of hostage taker.
