Thanks for the 7 years, you've been brilliant.

Gutted.

[Leyton Gooner]

Cheerio. Make sure you shut the door on your way out

[Skooner]

Been a great servant to the club and I am concerned about how we are going to replace him but given the deal on offer at City understandable from his side and our side not to match the offer. No doubt he'll be cast as a money grabber by some and booed on his return but personally have no animosity towards him.

[Leyton Gooner]

No animosity here. No particular feelings either way

[Bendtners Drinking Buddy]

Meh.

Good player, would rather he stay but he isnt on the way up in terms of performances etc.

No animosity here, but dont think its a huge disaster - we will miss him more as a CB!

[Henry Norris 1913]

he'll make a lot of money and we'll get a big player of the wage bill. job done

aurier will come in a prove we don't buy superstars, we make them
steveo, back me up on this

Liked Sagna but I would not want us giving a 31yr old a £100k+ a week contract. Good luck to him. No point in booing him City is his pension plan, we'd all do it.

Good luck,God bless, say hello to the lezza.

[1989]

Thanks for the memories and enjoy the wages.

I think most fans will see it as others on this thread. A great retirement present for him...and not one that I would have wanted us to match.

Amazing though that City can afford this much money for a 31 year old (who I presume that they only want as cover?)...especially given the "harsh" punishment they've just received over breaches of FFP !

If the figures quoted in the media are somewht correct,then he had to go ,too much for a 31yr old for us to keep him,i liked the guy but couldnt beat a man,now and again he managed to get a cross past the 1st man.Cant see him replacing zabaletta,gone for the money but i suppose who wouldnt if you were looking at a pension scheme that he will get at city.

Arsene doesn't buy millionaires......he makes them

Aurier is definitely coming my friend......and you're welcome to join me and Rodders who will be too when he's paraded at the Emirates Cup

[gp543]

Great servant of the club for the past near decade. Wish him well at his new club AND WILL APPLAUD HIM WHEN HE RETURNS TO THE EMIRATES.

With his ability to cover at centre back as well as start at right back, letting him go is a mistake.

But as others have said, it offers us opportunity to get a better attacking right back, provided it is one who can also defend.

Jenkinson not good enough to regularly start.

too true.

Not too worried as long as decent replacement comes in, Sagna has at time over the years been as abysmal as he has been excellent. The cup final being an example.
