He’s finally gone!

Andre SantosI saw some great ‘breaking news’ roll by on the Sky Sports News yellow ticker today – it read ‘Brazilian defender Andre Santos joins Flamengo from Arsenal’.

Due to his poor performances for us last season, the 30-year-old left-back was sent out on loan to Gremio in the second half of the campaign. And it looks like his temporary move back to his homeland has impressed Flamengo, where he once had a loan spell at, with the Brazilian outfit handing him a two-year deal.

I don’t particularly think Santos will be missed by the Arsenal faithful, especially after that shirt-swapping incident with Robin van Persie at Old Trafford at half-time. Besides, we have Kieran Gibbs who coming into his own and Nacho Monreal as cover, so to keep Santos on the books would be a waste of wages.

It’s good to see we are getting rid of the deadwood, like Santos, Sebastien Squillaci and Denilson, and hopefully more will follow. But I think its time we saw some new recruits coming in as well!

    Its people like you that have ruined many a good arsenal player mostly for the fun of it confidence is a big part of sport and the rabble called arsenal fans take great pride in knocking their own players

        He wasn’t that bad

        He scored some important goals for us as well

        He may not have been good enough at the end of the day but I’d like to attribute that to Gibbs being so good

      Confidence you mean like Bendtner?…
      Andre Santos is crap, no matter how you want to sugar coat it.
      He’s a panic cheap signing by Le Ped

      Wenger Out
      Or hope for a Vilanova faith for Le Nose

      any clown that is looking to swap a jersey at half time (rvp) is not a winner. how is that knocking a player. and when santos went out on loan he did nothing but knock the club. he is a clown. im delighted he’s gone.

  • Karido Zunguza says:

    I want to see the likes of Park, Bendtner n Chamack leave the Emerites forever.

  • Smurp says:

    Bad taste from you.

    Give the guy some respect, he tried and failed. He left taking a pay cut, took his big wages off the wage bill to go and try his best playing football instead of rotting in the reserves.

    While you have an audience, try to concentrate your rubbish writing skills on the likes of greedy pigs such as Bendtner who will stick around milking the club by never playing and taking fat stacks home.

    You are cut from my newsnow feed.

  • Dj says:

    For how much did he leave?

  • fred iyemi says:

    For me,i cant wait to see the back of bendtner,park nd chamakh leaving the emirate putting an end to the era of ‘wage wastage’.

  • Max says:

    Squillaci, the person who scouted this guy should be sacked. Park, the person who signed this guy should be sacked. Santos, the person who signed this overweight Brazillian who could’nt run should be sacked.
