Ever so exciting deadline day news came to fruition when the guy who just 14 days ago expressed his love for our club & thanks for his 2 year deal, decided the news told to him by his manager was a déjà vous moment from years past when Jose told him exactly the same. As then his inner sulking left him with just the one choice which it seems our club had no problem with agreeing to. Trust me, all the wonderful things thrown onto Luiz as a person, his true self has again shown through when his position comes under threat. Hitches his skirt n runs. He becomes the next aged Chelsea player to retire at Arsenal. People stating the transfer fee was not enough, but its been pointed out, his 2 year contract will not have to be paid now, so all told the deal is worth around 18-20M to the club. I am ok with what has happened and it thrills me the club have acted quickly and been prepared to go into the season with the central defenders we have left. Rudiger is said to have been training with the first team squad since we returned from Germany. Probably a little soon for him, but obviously his health would have made Luiz decision easier. This looks wonderful on Frank. Gets a stroppy star player and moves him out of the door within a week. Be sure the rest of the squad will take note. To the season.
