Coquelin done alright for us until Wenger went full Nutty Professor and changed everything to limit his role in the team.
He's the only DM we have in the team. The only destroyer. I'm not saying he was amazing at it but it's not a smart move letting him go.

Again. First teamers last season and now likely goneOriginally Posted by Delusions of Grandeur
How is this different from the past? We didn't sign these guys yesterday.
For loads of players they can hang around on the fringes for years
I’m sorry but he’s out of his depth. He’s a one trick pony, who was found out. He could win the ball but totally useless on it and then would be guilty of giving it away and giving away fouls or being brushed aside.
I’m not having a go at him. He always gave us full effort. He worked well when he had Cazorla to recycle the ball to. But even then he was liable to be shat oh by teams that do the high press.

Just hope we don’t sell to United.
He had the abilities of a destroyer; can tackle, break up play but not very good on the ball.
That's exactly what I expect of him. I don't want him spraying 30 yard balls around or chip through balls to the striker.
He was very effective at one point until Wenger went nutty. Then it went downhill.
Watch him thrive at Valencia.
I think even a destroyer has to be able to retain possession or make competent passes
Gilberto and Petit weren’t technically as good as players around them but they were both physically and technically competent enough
It's nothing new. Gibbs, Gabriel, Santos, Gervinho...they all fell out of favour quickly and were moved on quickly. If it's a change in approach, the writing should be on the wall for Giroud, Debuchy and Chambers, no?
That remains to be seen. Giroud is out of contract in 2019 so wouldn’t be surprised if he or Ramsey were cleared out in the summer.
Wenger we know has dithered over Walcott for years, and this is the closest we’ve come to selling him it does suggest a bit more direct action being taken.
Gibbs, Gabriel and Santos werent consistent first teamers. Gibbs hadn’t for years, and Gabriel and Santos had never fully broken in despite runs.

Surprised we (or anyone else for that matter) haven't gone for Mahrez. He would be a great signing. Wonder why others haven't gone for him as well.
