He was going to sign a contract we offered and then Citeh came in with the offer too good to refuse is what I've been told to believe by Phillipe Auclair.TomasCR said:He wanted to earn more money than Fabregas when he was still here and wanted to leave as soon as he found out we were not going to agree with that to begin with, that's where the whole story began I believe.ibby said:He hasn't done a 'Hleb' or 'Adebayor' or even a 'Fabregas'. He has done whatever any professional career-thinking person would do - leave a sinking ship.
Agree that he should have been offered a new contract sooner and Wenger should have spent to persuade his big players to stay. City will finish in the big 4, we won't, fair enough.
