Bending over is bending over regardless of who its for. It makes him and more importantly the club look weak.

Agree with ach on this - Arsene is a bit of a pussy when it comes to holding players. He was clearly unhappy with nasri going, for example, but then he says giving your captain to man utd was forced. No, he's under contract - fucking keep him for a year.
Look at what Tevez did at City.
They managed to keep him and they won the title.
Imagine if Wenger grew a set and kept some of our players.
Rooney at Man utd, Gerrard at Liverpool, both handed in transfer requests, clubs told both to stay, they stayed and the rest as they say is history
If a player is under contract then we have a choice of selling him or not when he wants to go. Fact we dont is Wenger bending over. He'd rather keep his reputation intact with his players ie they see him as a father figure blah blah blah than keep it with the most important people of all, the fans, most of whom are turning
And when RVP was sold to man utd who where the highest bidder what happend, Wenger got accused of being greedy.
Im not disagree or saying we should have sold Cesc to barca, but its where he wanted to go so it was either that or have a player who probs would have moaned for another season.
As a great man once said
"It doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning"
Cesc would have no choice. Give his all for us and then go at the end of his contract to whoever he wants cos hes talented enough to have his pick of clubs or rot in the reserves and join Birmingham later
