That sounds fine now, but do you think the rumours are going to stop as soon as the season starts? For maybe a couple of months and then it will be extremely unsettling. There'll be non-stop speculation, questions about his commitment. It could be a massive distraction in a season where Arsenal must get their top 4 place back. Ifyou don't return to top 4 next season, I think you could rapidly fade away. Manager will be gone and all your special players: sanchez, Giroud, Cazorla and Ozil
He ll probably have his best season for us knowing hes leaving on a free. I get the feeling thats what he really wants.
