Laurent Koscielny (Out)

Strange that he has gone with a year left on his contract if he had seen that year out he could have left on a free transfer and had a testimonial for serving Arsenal for 10 years.

 

He could've asked to leave and gone on tour as a farewell while the club got all the details of selling him right. Pretty sure Arsenal would've done that out of "kindness".

Really strange situation.

 

He Passed his medical. official announcement this afternoon.

 

He is half polish ))))

 

I wonder how missing the World Cup affects you mentally. We have seen how even winning it had an impact on desire for Per (maybe even Özil to a degree). If you miss a win do you get a chip on your shoulder? Blame individuals? Hold a grudge for those games playing injured?

He could just be acting like a dick, have issue out of football or just want to ET it though!

 

Youd be happy for Ryan Shawcross to have a serious injury so save the hypocritical moral lecture.

If Koscielny didn't think his body can handle the task then he shouldnt have signed the contract. Zero sympathy.

 

Surprised he passed his medical with him having no bollocks.

 

That was just a joke to make my comment a bit more lighthearted / less lecturing. No need to be so angry. Don't know why you (and Mark) are so frustrated.

 

Who said I was frustrated? Had a quickie this morning.

 

That's how it came across, but good for you. I'm on the bench until the end of the week unfortunately, might have to do a @UpTheGunnerz until then.

 

No anger here.

Frustrated yes.

 

read his preference was Rennes but we couldn't agree a fee. Anyway he has got his wish to go back to France.

 

really cold confirmation from us for someone who been here 9 years with the club.

 

One line.

"We thank Laurent for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future."

Yeah, that's cold

 

Deserves it.

 

Bro, what's Brexit to do with it? Footballers live in their own little bubble so I doubt it was even on his radar.

 

All the best to him.
he fkd up in the final against birmingham, but after that he grew to be one of the best centre backs in the league. He also scored vital goals for us. 2 to secure champions league football and also the equaliser against hull in 2014.
We played him too much last season and you could see he was playing in pain. Pity he's leaving on a sour note.

 

Thanks for Everything Koscielny!
