So it seems were getting a host of players who "apprently want to leave", how long do we feel these players have felt that way and was the the reason we underperfomed last season.

For the length of longness that their wants were wanting.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Apart from Bendter, who are the others in the host that want to leave. Nasri is probably just saying things after being nudged by his greedy agent and it is part of the negotiation process. Who else?
Clichy (rejected new contract, as good as gone) and Denilson. No ideas on who actually wants to go but I would be surprised to see Aluminia and Rosicky here next season.
A mildly interesting question.
FWIW I think that many of our players may have been having doubts about the club's ability to compete with the best while not competing in the transfer market for some time. This season was undoubtedly make or break, and I can't help thinking that part of the suddenness of our collapse was as much down to disillusionment with AW's methods as anything else.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
tbh after watching the shit last season, anyone who is not fully committed can fuck off. you can blame wenger all you want, but players not giving a shit on the pitch is just as bad!
Hard to tell, but for 6 years now we've collapsed at the end of the season, outsiders see us as a team that always loses it's not hard to think the players believe this too.
I reckon for the last couple years players have been wondering whether Wenger is capable of delivering success again it's clear that last season's collapse is the last straw in many cases, like many fans they just don't believe in the man...very few do now.
Problem is with Wenger is he just isn't proactive, he seems happy to sit and wait for some sort of miracle to occur, it seems to be pride over common sense with him these days.
It's been a long 6 years and lot of them aren't kids anymore. They came here with high hopes and on the back of the Invincibles glory.
Now they see AW isn't as good they thought he was and it's time to move on. However, some of those players aren't as good as they were when they signed either, so they've regressed. In both situations it's time to part ways in my opinion...
Well, we know how long Denilson has wanted out for.
Bendtner has always wanted out, the best striker in the world should be at the best/biggest club in the world, we are not ergo he should be moving on.
I reckon Clichy has seen the writing on the wall for at least a season now, I'm sure he wanted/wants to stay but knows that there's a groundswell of opinion against him and I doubt it's purely on the side of the fans.
Bottom line is that the players failed to step up at the crucial part of the season, manager must take a hefty amount of responsibility for buying the wrong guys/not developing them well enough but if their name isn't Jack or Robin then chances are they're part of the reason we lost so fuck 'em.
