No player is bigger than the club. While people have constantly written off Arsenal after our marquee players left in the summer, Arsenal has always come back to mount a serious challenge in the competitions they take part in.

Vieira, Henry, Gallas, Adebayor, Fabregas – all players whose exit sent the media into a frenzy, attacking Arsene Wenger and boldly predicting that THIS was the season Arsenal would drop out of the top four.

That season is still yet to come.

With Arsenal being a self-sufficient club that refuses to let any dodgy foreign billionaire invest his money into the club to bring players on obscene wages and pay ridiculous amounts to clubs for them, Arsenal’s best players have had their heads turned at the sight of more money on a regular basis in the recent past.

While some of it may come down to Arsenal’s recent trophyless run, there is no doubt that many players who were fan favorites over the last few years have effectively stabbed Arsenal supporters in the back with their decision to move elsewhere for a better salary.
