Whaaaaaaat?!
Haha fucking savage, must have seen Koz kick the ball into his own face and cost us the Europa league last season.

Its not surprising at all if true tbh. Koscielny has suffered a potentially career ending injury at his age. Heāll never be peak Koscielny again.

Right decision imo.
Could be Unai has seen something during Laurentās recovery stage, to suggest he may not be as good as he used to be. I mean isnāt he effectively having regular injections to deal with a previous injury before the current one he suffered? He probably feelās itās not worth the gamble and better to look towards someone else thatās more likely to be a bit more reliable on the injury front long term.
I will miss him though if he goes, but a new start somewhere like many of the Wenger mass clear out might not be so bad for him. Hopefully somewhere better than Villa though.

It might also have to do with the fact that he turned 33 years old last september.
I doubt that this is true, he wouldnāt told him that, while he is still recovering!
Only if we sold Mustafi as well, otherwise it would be a nonsense.

I know itās bad enough being told to leave without Villa been interested in you aswell!
Itās a savage injury he suffered and extremely difficult to return to near your best especially when youāre 33. Still I would be tipping heās a superior player to Mustafi 3 months after his return from the injury.

Ruthless if true 
Guess he wants us to start losing now like France.

So we canāt sing the Whitney Houston #ohhh I wanna dance with Koscielny# any more?
Much as I love Kos itās simply the right thing to do. You canāt rely on a player coming back from that type of injury at that age and who has to fit into a new system on top of that too.
It would absolutely end in disaster early into next season and weād be rightly pissed off with Emery if he did.

This time next year weāll be hearing about how not being part of the 2018/19 title winning Arsenal team broke his heart and that a part of him was hoping weād lose rather than romp home with it.

Is it the right thing to do or would the right thing be to wait and see how he recovers. Obviously Emery is privy to info we are not. But heās got 2 years left on his contract anyway and i canāt see the likes of Villa matching his wage.
You mean including this season? I thought 19/20 was the last season on his contract.
Yes itās absolutely the right thing to do. Wait and see hasnāt worked for us with serious injuries. If he has two years left on the contract weāre into that space Raul talked about where you have to make a decision. This is the only sane decision to make imo.
