Tomiyasu literally offered to terminate his contract when he realized he was earning money without playing, despite the fact that he was dealing with injuries.
Then you have Gabriel Jesus willing to cost the club financially by staying as the fourth-choice striker because he doesn’t want to give up the £260k a week he’s earning.
Greedy behaviour.
After almost seven years at this club, it’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me.
I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time.
I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club.
We didn’t just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career.
I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone.
This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt.

It’s actually pissed me off that Martinelli is gone but Jesus and Fabio Veira are still at Arsenal. I’m sure there’s a reason to it but I can’t be happy with it.
Unless it means we’re getting another marquee player I don’t want Gabi gone…
I’ve seen Van Persie move to United. Nasri to City. Fabregas to Barca. Alexis to United. But nothing has broken me more than seeing Aaron Ramsey and Gabriel Martinelli leaving this football club.
