We can finally draw a line under the seemingly never ending 'will he won't he' Juan Baptista saga now that the player has agreed to move to Real Madrid.

We all know the issues regarding his EU passport by now, and I don't think any of the fans were convinced that he ever wanted to play for Arsenal despite the fact that Arsene Wenger pursued him right to the end.

He said today:

"I couldn't let this opportunity escape me. I am leaving a great club where I have truly become a footballer and where I have made a name for myself.

"I hope and ask for the fans to understand me, because I am both young and a professional. I have Sevilla in my heart and I am leaving with the hope of returning one day."

Like bollocks he does! - And frankly I say good riddance to bad rubbish - I don't want any player who isn't one hundred percent committed to Arsenal earning good money at my expense.

Does this mean that Arsene Wenger has a 'Plan B' in the transfer market? - Oh hang on I forget, he doesn't do those does he?
