Arsenal expected to release Park Chu-Young
Park Chu-Young will be released by Arsenal once he finishes his Army boot camp in South Korea, according to reports in his homeland.
The striker, who spent last year on loan at Spanish side Celta Vigo, made just six appearances during his two year stay at the club, scoring his only goal against Bolton in the League Cup.
Gunners executives went as far as writing off £5.5million in their accounts to cover the wages of the transfer flop.
Chu-Young, 27, is currently completing a month of combat training at a South Korean boot camp but has already been informed of Arsenal’s decision to release him.
Departures
Freiburg are expected to seal the season-long loan signing of Francis Coquelin after he was photographed training with them.
French U21 international Coquelin, previously linked with German giants Schalke, was signed by Wenger in 2008 after impressing during a trial.
Meanwhile, Nicklas Bendtner’s move to Frankfurt is in doubt after the Dane refused to budge on his high wage demands.
The ex-FC Copenhagen striker hasn’t played for Arsenal since August 2011, having scored 43 goals in 157 appearances since joining the club as a youth-team player.
Arsenal exits so far:
Andrey Arshavin (contract expired)
Sebastien Squillaci (contract expired)
Denilson (contract cancelled)
Vito Mannone (sold for £2m)
Park Chu-Young (set to be released)
Lazy marouane Chamakh should be the next to leave.
Bendtner is a bastard!!!
Diaby should also follow.
Wenger could have let the chap join Lille instead. Bendtner n Chamakh shd be next.
Pls get me Higuin and fallaini
nice work ther.next is charmak n bentner.now we can use dere wage on beta players
About time! See……. a problem with socialism. Put everyone on the same salary and the crap ones cost a fortune to pay off!!
Clearing the wage bill for the new additions come on guys…chamakh should be next in line along with santos, and even djourou if we get a new defender….send frimpong,bellerin, and miyachi on loan,
I would love to see wenger spending his money on 2 top players (look like higuain and felliani at the moment) and get a goal keeper cesar/schwarzer along with a back up defender (4th defender)…that should be around 50m well spent.
Get a couple young talents like kondogbia/grenier along the lines of sanogo who has already signed (he looks on fire at U 20’s) for the future (I went for all french players because we are talking about wenger :P)

I think, park is very miserable condition in Arsenal..
Because he can’t has chance.
We have to give many chance to him!!
Jack will do better in the double pivot Arsenal Midfield when he play in the DM role and Aaron as the CM. He though doesnt like to play there, he is better than Aaron in that role. His passes are more intricate and needful to build our attack from defence. He also commands a lot of resistance with his hard marking. But, he faces too much horrendous tackles when he tries to run with the ball through the midfield as a CM or CAM. He doesnt also cover well enough for Aaron when playing as the CM. Moreover, Ramsey is more combative, and from the CM will makeup well for DM-Jack to make thick cover for our backline. We cannot afford to loose Jack to another long lay off by exposing him to delibrate horrible challenges in the middle of the park. With Wilshere behind, powerhouse Ramsey runnig box-to-box, as Giroud is holding up play for Santi and Rosciky to provide necesary weapons for Walcott, anyone can then tap in goal the Arsenal way! Jekinson should continue as the RB. Bench: Vilviano, Vermalean, Sagna, Monreal, Flamini, Arteta, Ozil and Podolski.
