Just the usual journalist bullshit like when Yaya's wage would go up 50K each passing week until he was past 300K...
All our new signings are on less than 100K and those are first team players, a 30(?) year old backup fullback shouldn't be getting 100K on such a long term deal. Journalists seem to just make any old shit up about how much we offer our players yet you never hear what other clubs offer.
It pisses me of because other fans will then see these figures and assume they are right, i've heard how Jovetic cost us 30M and Negredo / Navas were 20m+ each as that was what they were told by the media before it was confirmed we paid much less but by then its too late as the misinformation is out and although we follow the club closely and know these things other fans don't and this misinformation then begins to spread. I know I shouldn't give a damn what others think when I know they are wrong but its just another stick used to beat us with all from fabricated claims which other clubs don't seem subjected to as much.

He's a very very reliable if not spectacular right back. He's strong in the air, he's good in the tackle, good positionally, very professional & understated.
He was great for the first couple of seasons for Arsenal, then had a few bad injuries which resulted in a loss of form & confidence, but he's worked very hard & now he's probably had his best season in a while for us.
He wasn't the best attacking wise compared to someone like Zabaleta, and his crossing wasn't good at all, but the stories are he worked very hard on his crossing and deliveries in general over the past year or so and it's paid off as can be seen on that youtube clip & some of his deliveries in the 6-3 game at The Etihad. By the waym he's competent at left back as well, and very competent at centre back, look out for highlights of our game vs Norwich recently where he was very rarely troubled. He's easily a better right back for us than Clichy was a left back, if that comparison makes sense.
It'll be hard to see him go, in an ideal world we keep Sagna and still sign someone like Aurier to learn from him for a year or 2 before he moves on, but it seems destined that he's off to City. Can't speak for everyone but he'd certainly go with my best wishes if he does decide to leave.

All very reasonable and well put, are you sure you are an Arsenal fan?
