"Alexis has made a mutual decision with his agent Fernando Felicevich to leave Arsenal." -- Chris Wheatley

Can he just go so people stop spamming the front page with stupid shit, he is an important player but this has happened so many times that surely people have got to realise that it in the end makes no real difference? The last time we won the league was 13 years ago. We haven't put up a convincing title challenge in almost 10 years and it will be exactly the same with or without him. Watch football and support the club but are we that deluded as a fan base that we even thought we would have a title challenge after the last 10 years? I can guarantee 99.999 percent we will be in the same situation next year. We are not and have not been for a long time a title winning club and it is cyclic. We get in some transfers (sometimes to replace a player) we start off well and everyone gets excited. Our form drops off after a few months and we are below in january but still think we can do it, and then we get battered in february march and April. Can we stop with the stupid rumours and just enjoy football. This sub half the time is a transfer gossip chat room and not a discussion about arsenal as we know it . Sure it's fun to gossip about rumours but when it is 90 percent of the content it is incredibly stale.
