Arsenal sold and loaned players out immediately after complaining that they didn't have enough players to fulfil a fixture.
No.

Toure, Gerrard, Johnson, Enrique, Sturridge, Clyne and Lallana were all either cooked or basically at the end of their careers. None were worth anything in the market really even if they were under contract and we tried to sell them. Maybe Lallana at a stretch might have gotten us some money.
Wanted an extra pound
Look, first on Ozil; he could well have been the greatest player on the face of the planet but if a player does not toe the line, if a player is given opportunity after opportunity to do the things that the coaches wanted him to do, 3 of them at Arsenal and then Arteta comes out and says the he, Arteta, failed to get the best out of him, what do you propose the club do with such a distracting, "who gives a f**k" player. In the best interests of the club, you must move them on, I would argue. Aubameyang, after signing the lucrative contract put in front of him which I would say just about every Arsenal supporter was supportive of, he just "downed tools" so to speak and from memory, his one good game came against Tottenham when we massacred them which really, further took the piss out of club and supporters because it showed all of us what he was capable of when he wanted to. He too thought he could do whatever he wanted when ever he wanted and to avoid another ridiculous Ozil situation. Clubs wanted to buy Ozil but he didn't want the piss poor wages in comparison to what he was getting by sitting on his arse so he refused to go! That's the measure of the man.
The common denominator seems to be that they have temperament problems, just like Ozil and they think that they should not follow instructions and do whatever the f**k they want to. How do you reckon Fergusson, Guardiola, Mourinho, Malthouse, Clarkson, Mathews would have handled them? You reckon they would have just rolled over and let do whatever they wanted to do and not toe the line?
That's my point. Those players were no longer required by the club for whatever reason and some may or may not have commanded money so the club got shot of them - they did what they believed was in the club's best interests.
That's Arsene in a nutshell. I read somehwere that Wenger was shocked after he bought Xhaka that he realise that he couldn't tackle! Now I don't know if that's a true story or no but it's Wenger and I wouldn't be surprised.
Same diff mate! They all were let go on frees and that's the point of the big picture that was uploaded on this thread wasn't it? That is, who gives a shit about the circumstances surounding the free transfers, let's just sink the boot into Arsenal. See, I agree with you about Gerrard and it's the same with Rooney but I'm willing to bet, that if they were Arsenal players, The Arsenal would have been lambasted all the same.
No, I just can't cop so called "supporters" who show far more loyalty and support for pretentious punks who point blank refuse to follow the instructions of the coaches and the clubs and do whatever they want to do.
No-one knows that this is going to happen for sure but the way player agents and players have been "gaming the market" so to speak, it is not unreasonable that they may well leave on frees. It means that instead of prospective employers paying money to the players' current clubs, they can let their contracts run out by refusing to go anywhere and when they go to the club of their choice, the money that the club who wants them would have paid to Man Utd. in this case, can be split fifty-fifty (for example), between the player and the prospective club so the club can save 50% of what they would have paid Man Utd and the other 50%, goes to the player as a signing on fee and the club from whom that player has left, gets absolutely nothing. That's how ridiculous the system is and why the maggots and parasites known as agents have proliferated.
Maybe that's how you see it, but maybe they see it differently through their own eyes?
