Also Arsenal midfielders Tomas Rosicky, Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta are expected to leave the club this summer and Arsene Wenger appeared to confirm it by commenting: "We will lose three big personalities."

Yep, I expect those 3 to go. Wouldn't mind seeing some of the likes of Gibbs, Debuchy, Merts, Walcott, Ox and Giroud go as long as we get top quality replacements (perhaps even top top quality)...
Also that next season will determine whether he extends or leaves. Let's hope he's been given the ultimatum of win the title or the contract doesn't get extended.

We've been linked with Isco again, wouldn't mind that at all and Santi would be able to help him settle.”
Think Isco is more likely to end up at Chelsea or Man. City. I'd love him at Arsenal though.

Rosicky was usually excellent when he played. It's a shame he had an injury prone Arsenal career. By far and away he'll be the player I miss the most from this exodus.

It's been a washout of a season for Rosicky which is a shame. Kind of sums up his time at the club. Still, there have been some highlights. I hope he manages to get some game time today. Arteta has been the model pro and there might be a role for him at the club down the line. Flamini has done his best when called on but is simply not good enough. I wish them well.
The worst thing would be for Newcastle to do their job and for us to not. It'd not be that bad and expected if Spurs won at Newcastle, but for us to fail when it's been delivered on a plate would be painful. So, yeah, at least make sure we win against Villa.
