Keeping Arteta and Giroud in the squad are no brainers imo.

Arteta especially is very well respected by everyone at the club and is a great role model for the youngsters according to most of the reports I've read emanating from the club. When Sanchez first arrived in the country, it was Arteta who went out of his way to make sure he was settled in properly. Additionally, him and Per are the two mainly responsible for creating the new healthy atmosphere and culture among the squad. Things used to be bad several years ago when you had all the different cliques and dressing room cancers like Gallas, RVC, Adebayor, Bendtner etc etc ................ it should be a lot more noticeable now how well everyone gets on now.

Don't see why we couldn't do a Rosicky on him and use him for squad depth and experience. Honestly think it would be extremely shortsighted to get rid of him.

Now Flamini on the other hand can fuck off. Useless mercenary twat who's long past his best.
