    Normally that would be the case, but look at the players that have said they want to leave so far.

    Both are crap, have done nothing since they have been here, are paid way too much and think they are better than they actually are.

    Nothing negative in them or any others like that going tbh.

    I suspect the likes of Bendy, Denilson, Rosicky will be internally replaced. I think Arsene is probably sweating on Clichy, Nasri & Cesc because his hand will be forced if they all walk too.

    I mean what message does it give Arsene when half of the squad are ready to walk out?

    I'm not too concerned if these turd burglars want to leave. In the case of Bendtner and Denilson I doubt it's because they've lost faith in Wenger, it's because they're not bloody good enough to play for this club and need game time for the sake of their careers.

    I have no feeling or belief towards 80% of the squad and these average players represent everything wrong about the direction our club moved in several years ago. I'm happy they're moving on and excited about potentially seeing some new faces in the squad.

    Should have been a regular 20+ goal a season striker if we played to his strengths, but we stick him out wide and ask him to be Messi.

    It's a good move for him but for us not really as it means we'll have to rely on Chamakh, he'll probably be replaced from within (with the likes of Afobe or Vela).

    If we considering just skill levels, then you might be right. However, I am concerned with the overall impact and both these players have been at Arsenal since they were 16 (Bendtner) and 18 (Denilson). That is 7 and 5 years, respectively. They are part of the club "family".

    You might be right and there will be nothing negative to them leaving. However, I believe (fear) that there will be negative consequences to these two and other fans' "scapegoat" players leaving.

    It gives the message that this manager and these players aren't prepared to work together to bring success to the club. Give Wenger his due, at least he's not trying to run away like these cowardly shits. It's fabulous news the hardcore losers are being smoked out. For any of them to claim there's something wrong at Arsenal or they didn't get their chance at Arsenal is a joke. They are what's wrong at the club, they proved it over the countless chances they were given. Now they want to preserve their dignity (which was long lost on the battlefield) and tee up their next fat pay cheques. If they had any guts or any ambition they'd be signing new contracts at Arsenal for as long as it takes to win. But they aren't built that way, they are natural born losers. So the fact they are leaving is best for all parties. The more that leave from this squad the better to be honest. It will allows us to collapse rapidly which in turn will allow us to rebuild rapidly. A repeat of this prolonged 6 year collapse would be even more damaging to the long term prospects of the club. We are close to making failure the Arsenal way, we have developed a loser's culture from teh manager down to each of the players. If anyone thinks a bit of tinkering here and there is going to fix it then I say they are very wrong. It's the foundations that need attention, not the decor. Anyway, it doesn't matter because Wenger looks like he's staying, good in terms of his personal character, teriible for us because it means more guaranteed failure. But at least we're losing the biggest rats, so that's something.

    Mo...this is the bit that really frightens me...I honestly wouldn't put it past Arsene to not replace any of the departing players...or if he does replace them, he'll do it on the cheap i.e. not replace them properly.

    I think Bendtner potentially going leaves a spot open up front and we have all been calling for a striker so I think that's a cause for optimism. We can't possibly start next year with just RVP can we? With Chamakh, Vela and Afobe in reserve? Surely not?

    He's never replaced players properly.

    This will be a repeat of the 2007/2008 season where we lost Flamini, Hleb and Adebayor was unsettled. They are leaving because they don't believe in the manager. I knew Bendy was gone as soon as we bought Chamakh. He should leave. He's had his ups and downs but I can understand why he wants to leave and he should feel frustrated.

    I don't really care for the fringe players. It's Cesc, Clichy and Nasri I'm more worried about. If those guys go, it's the beginning of the end. Wenger won't spend the money on replacements. We've seen it so many times before so don't hold your breath when it comes to new signings. We've got all this kids out on loan for a reason. Wenger will find space for them in the first team.
