Yes they are a bunch of feckers, but taking there money gives me more satisfaction knowing that they have a absolute donkey between the sticks...

I can see him being given away for nothing in January, just to get him off the wage bill for 6 months if nothing else

Re: Illan Meslier
There's a few leagues like the Belgian league where the transfer window is still open till the end of September i think, so there's still hope to get shut of the flapping bird, if only he could catch.

He has got to go but NO WAY TO THE DIRTY TURKS never ever that would be a total betrayal.

Reports in Turkey say Mes is closing in on a permanent move to Besiktas.

Re: Illan Meslier
How does that work outside of the transfer window?, do we pay him off so he becomes a free agent?

Re: Illan Meslier
When his name got announced, as all the players came back onto the the pitch, I heard several folk say they didn’t know he was still here.
Lord knows where he will end up.

Re: Illan Meslier
Was brilliant for us first season in the prem, think he still holds the most clean sheets record for a young keeper. I didn't like the way he was treated by the fans but hopefully he moves on and is a great keeper elsewhere.

Re: Illan Meslier
Has been released
Good luck Illan.
Shame he never really developed here, still remember that Arsenal debut.
If anything he regressed but still played his part.
Double promotion winner, part of the side that finished 9th and member of 90 point trophy team.
Talented lad but thrown to the wolves by multiple managers and had his confidence destroyed.
Wish him luck.

Re: Illan Meslier
Given his contract is up, surprised nobody has come in for him yet.
There is a good keeper in there if he can get back on the rails.

Re: Illan Meslier
Looked a keeper on his way to being top level when he first came in, but some high profile howlers blew his confidence to s**t. Shame, still think he can become a top class keeper with the right support and development, but his ship has sailed with us. Good luck to the guy.
