It's a terrible decision by Vinicius. This Real Madrid was disfunction with him and the other two big stars and will be worse with Diomandé and a outdated Mourinho on the equation. Arsenal has done his job, but is always ask too much to players reject Real Madrid, even on this almost certain failure scenario.

The fact that we we at the table for one of the best players on the planet is a very positive development. I expect us to be every table for every top player as we continue to grow and develop as a club. The fact is the he had two options, he chose to play in a better climate in a league that is not as demanding, and that is his choice. We want players who want to be at the best club in the best league in the world. Its that simple.

Felt to me that Vinicius and Madrid both gave up ground. Agree that him staying was always the most likely outcome but will be interesting to see what the situation is in 12 months when he's had a season under Mourinho and still isn't the main man at the club.

I remain ambivalent about the Vini saga. Was it a distraction from other potential opportunities? I don’t know, but suspect it was.

Was he a player who really fit? The gunners work their socks off with and without the ball. Would vini work that hard?

I love my team.

Apparently the data says that he works as hard off the ball as any of our current wide players.
