    Koscielny refuses the US tour

    https://www.arsenal.com/news/club-st...rent-koscielny

    Very weird. Not sure if it's because he doesn't want to travel so much given the plethora of injuries we've had but it seems very out of character.

    That's the end of him then, not a bad thing he's injury prone, error prone and at the tail end of his career.

    Odd Arsenal would put that on Arsenal.com however, they don't usually announce stuff like this, he'll be sold after this.

    However judging from our transfer activity so far and the fact we've shown no interest in CB except for a guy we're going to loan back for a year, this could mean we barely have a decent CB to start the season.

    i suspect they are somehow trying to force him to leave the club without whatever payoff he'd normally be due by saying he's breaching contract.

    frankly, whatever the ccirumstances, after the service he's given this club, i think that's a pretty shoddy way to treat him - the club should sort it out behind closed doors ffs, not feed him to the lions.

    He's the one that decided he wasn't going on the US tour though, if he hadn't their would be no breach so he's brought it on himself, he's paid by the club and he can't pick and choose unless the club allow it, otherwise every player could decided they didn't fancy playing when it didn't suit them.

    He said during the previous summer that he had planned to return to France before he picked up the injury in the semi final.

    What is even stranger is that we've made a statement about it. Not something we usually do unless forced to. Maybe he wants out but we aren't letting him as we're not signing anyone in defence.

    Very out of character and even more bizarre that the club have publically come out and slammed him for it.

    Fuck him anyway, his body isn't up to it anymore so hopefully this is an easy way to get rid of him. Anyone who doesn't turn up for team duties can do one.

    Don't really see the benefit of making this so public

    We’re at the point now where it probably wouldn’t matter if we wanted to splash the cash to strengthen the team.

    Who’d want to voluntarily come and join the mess we’ve created?
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    I guess it allows the club to dismiss him if they want to, so if they can't find a buyer they could let him go and pay nothing. Might even drum up some interest when clubs see they might be able to get him.
