That's good, and makes space in the squad for as dm. I wonder if we do sign a good dm, whether Arteta will take up a player/coach role for the reminder of the season. How has turkey suddenly become the retirement graveyard for lots of Prem/Seria A players instead of the USA?
Well it seems to be a favourite destination for so many of our ex-Arsenal players, maybe its the lovely sun that attracts them? Before you know it, we'll be renaming Galatasaray, Arsenal Geriatrics FC.
Excellent news, we are becoming more efficient in removing dead wood from our squad, mind you Ozil is bound to be gutted by this news, him and Flamini seemed to be best mates.
If Flamini learns Turkish then it may only strengthen the bromance - they can be emailing and skyping each other all day...
