By Sir Hardly Anyone
Each year we gather together the rumours of players coming and going in relation to Arsenal, and then at the end look at how many we got and how many were correct. The normal figure is around 110 players rumoured to be coming and most of the existing squad leaving. The accuracy rate is about 3%.
Of course the window is still firmly shut at the moment so not much the club can do but that is not stopping the scribblers from making things up.

Leaving Arsenal this summer…
Everyone is off: “Stars may exit if Arsenal fail to make the Champions League this summer” says the Guardian but really I think that is cheating. At least the writers ought to be putting a bit of energy into their make-believe. Otherwise, what’s the point of it all?
But so far it is 16 players to leave in what would be the biggest shake up of all time.
