Laurent Koscielny (Out)

[Arson Finger]

When he was out injured, he still got paid, because he has a contract with the club. He wants to leave for free, but he still has a contract with the club. Contracts work both ways.
Disappointing from the captain, damaging his legacy.
He's doing it because he knows like all players and clubs know now, that Arsenal are chumps and can be pushed around. Kos has seen it up close so many times and figures now it's his turn.
A player wants out, then Arsenal will give in and ship him out at a cut price.
A player is surplus to requirements but is comfortable and wants to stay in London on high wages, then Arsenal will give in and let him stay.
A player signs with Arsenal and demands high wages because everyone knows Arsenal will give in, and he gets his high wages.
A club wants to buy an Arsenal player, they will send a lowball offer and stick to it because everyone knows Arsenal will give in.
Arsenal wants to buy a player, the other club will demand more than they are worth and stick to it, because everyone knows Arsenal will give in.

What new?

 

[Red London]

Wrighty on Koscielny:

Wrighty needs a role at this club, he loves it.

Head Chairman.

Zaha would be here already.

Such an awkward situation because I have so much respect for this guy.

Something weird is going on

It’s pretty simple... He was promised to be let go but we didn’t get Champions League to financially allow it. So he’s pissed now. ****er needs to wake up and play out the rest of his contract.

 

[Highbury_2006]

Surprised he hasnt released some kind of statement.

Did we promise to let him go? There is a rumour we offered him a 2 extension with reduced base salary and an option to leave for free next summer. He only wanted 1 year. Why would we promise to let a player go for free if they're still useful!

 

[tap-in]

Surprised he hasnt released some kind of statement.

No statement will excuse what he has done, so why bother! He should be in the US leading his team.

 

[yybecause]

very disappointed.
Ever since his interview about his injury I started losing love for him.
was really surprised how he came out, as a ego driven person, making it all about himself. Weird, cause he always struck me as completely opposite.
later on I found it interesting watching more of his interviews, even the ones AFC does for fun with teammates. Clearly you can see how much he is about himself.

is it a newer thing or not, I don't know, but all this came less of a surprise.

football is going NBA style, players are having more and more power, and soon enough it will be a players league like NBA. they'll do whatever, and thx to social media they can cover whatever needed.
No doubt Kos will come out about this, and no way will he come without some good explanations, cause it's always easy to, on both sides, as masses only know what they have read

Ramsey left as a legend, but was a bigger **** then Kosc is right now, who also will go down as a legend.
and I am not buying all that.
Welbeck ****s on both of them

 

[Manberg]

@yybecause how was Ramsey a bigger **** than Kos now? Ramsey left honourably it’s our board that ****ed up. As far as I know, he didn’t refuse to play or travel and he gave his best when he did.

Stop talking ****. Ramsey was a model pro.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Ramsey, Cazorla, Rosicky, BFG - I miss those so much. Now it seems like like we did not only turn mediocre on but also off the field.

I am not a great fan of Ramsey as a player. But he was a thorough professional throughout his stay here. I don't know what makes you call him a ****? Any instances that you can point out?

 

[FinnGooner]

Ingrateful human waste. But nothing new with footballers (or pro athletes in general). These guys get payed millions for kicking a football and still it's too much to ask for them to honor a fixed term contract for three or four years. You see this all the time. I mean, you rarely see tactlessness and unprofessionalism of this level but similar stuff. For example, Coutinho had just extended his contract with pool when started demanding a move. Contract means nothing to these imbeciles except what amount of money they are entitled to.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

At one stage he had a reputation for a big game performer.

Now that's a lie he almost has the complete opposite reputation. He's bottled in almost every big game. I always remember how bad he was in the 6-0 games vs Chelsea in Arsène's 1000th game.

 

[Tourbillion]

Amazed there are people sympathising with this guy. I have no time for that. Is he Sol Campbell? Is he part of a great era at Arsenal? No? Then screw him and all the other players who behave like this.

Big Sol walked out at HT during west ham game. Probably not the best example

Big Sol was our defensive rock in the invincible season.

Kos is not even fit to lace Sol's boots.

Nutjob at the end, sure, but forgivable. Best CB in Europe 2001-2004. Also beasted it when he returned as a 35 year old. Remember his passion away at Stoke?
