DenilsonARSENAL kicked off their pre-season tour of Asia in style as they crushed a Malaysia XI in Kuala Lumpur.
Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring from the penalty spot on five minutes after Jack Wilshere had been tripped in the area.
And Theo Walcott doubled the lead with a cool finish eight minutes before the break.
Mexican winger Carlos Vela chipped opposing keeper Mohd Nasril Mat Nourdin from close range to add a third minutes after the restart.
And Czech international Tomas Rosicky capped an easy win for the Gunners at the death.
But Brazilian Denilson looks certain to be on his way out of Arsenal after storming down the tunnel following his substitution.
The midfielder had come on as a half-time substitute for Ramsey but lasted just 20 minutes before being hauled off by boss Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal starting XI: Szczesny, Gibbs, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Vermaelen (capt), Wilshere, Song, Ramsey, Miyaichi, Walcott, Chamakh.
Subs who came on: Mannone, Sagna, Squillaci, Djourou, Traore, Nasri, Rosicky, Denilson, Frimpong Van Persie, Vela, Arshavin.

Edit: where the fuck did the rest of my post go?
oi not fair, i wanted to watch that......where did you guys see it?
Hilarious that Denilson got subbed so soon after coming up. Sums him up tbh.
on whether the board support his decision to keep Nasri...
I think so, I believe that is no problem. It is a technical decision. On one hand people say I don't spend enough and when I spend people say I spend too much. It's very difficult to find the right medium. What is important is that the Club has a good team and is in a strong financial situation. The decisions are dictated by financial restrictions but not only by that. The most important thing is that the team is right and our financial situation is right as well.
oh fark off Wenger.
who has ever said you spend too much replacing first team players you flog off?
yeah, paying dross like denilson so much money for years for pretty much little in return is farking dumb; if that is what you call 'spending too much'.
i swear this man knows how to play a victim.

‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!
