Ouch!

Loved Nelli but he didn’t quite become the player we’d hope he would be. Tough decisions have to be made sometimes and this was certainly one of those. I wish him all the best

I respect your opinion but when a player doesn't want to leave and Martinelli made it clear he didn't want to leave.What are the club supposed to do keep a player they don't want on big wages or try and push him out the door? Some of our fans need to face reality he wasnt in Arteta's plans.

There is a real sense of loss here, palpable, almost like someone special has died… he came just before the pandemic, homeschooled my four girls for a two years… Arsenal were such exquisitely confounding company at that time, but so important…he was integral to that critical outside connection. 🥹😭❤️

Did not realize how much this would 💔💔💔

Thanks!

I was gutted when they sold Liam Brady. The fee we got was so low because of EC transfer rules at the time.

One of my favorite Arsenal players of the last 15 years. How authentically he loved the club, worked his arse off, and seemed to be a good kid was so endearing. Like an adopted nephew. I wanted it all to work out for him and it didn’t quite. But can never question his commitment! Always a Gunner.

Fans can be attached to players not because of goals and assists, just representing the club with passion can be enough. Gabi means a lot because he helped drag us through the transition from Emery to champions. If you can’t see that then I don’t think you have the right to call anyone “dopey”.

Probably a more valuable player than Noni, and he wouldn't have attracted tha same fee, but keeping Noni and letting Nelli go is madness.

Lovely words. A real shame he didn’t get to say goodbye at the Emirates.

He provided some important moments but had basically become the “come off the bench and run at the tired defense guy.” Wish they had acquired one more forward but it doesn’t change the fact that he is a squad player now.

I’m not over Liam Brady & Frank Stapleton leaving!

Tough going for her!

For whatever it is worth, Arteta spoke glowingly about him in his press conference! As for Gabi, Arsenal gave him a great platform and compensated him very well. We, as fans, loved him and will love him.But, the Club is not at the same level as it was 7 years ago. It was a good time to move on!!

Might save it for Monday's pod
