These young players can't give Wenger the keys to their career so freely. You can't allow someone that thought Xhaka was a box to box midfielder and thinks Elneny can play as CB to re-brand your position and pigeon hole you into a box you're uncomfortable with and didn't sign up for. Players have trusted Wenger and allowed him to take them from a position they know to a position they don't know and left to sink or swim with no real education. Just look at Gibbs. Started his career as midfielder and trusted Wenger to turn him into a leftback. That's failed miserably and now he lacks the skills to play either left back or midfield. Now surplus to requirements and being moved on. Imagine if he were bitter about not getting his shot on as a midfielder?

Never rated him, good riddance.
Sad news that our players won't sign, but at least Wenger signed.
So the club initially didn't want him and met his contract run down....before offering him a new deal a week before the window closes....before selling him on deadline day.
Making it up as they go along.
Good to hear that Ox turned down £180k from us and £220k from Chelsea to sign for £120k at Liverpool. He put football before money. Rare.
