[Emma Sanders] 🚨 Arsenal confirm Vivianne Miedema will leave when her contract expires at the end of this season. I understand there is interest from Manchester City in Miedema. Arsenal did not offer her a new contract as they feel it is a natural end to a hugely successful spell. #afc

  1. Arsenal did not offer a contract? Sounds bs unless the injury they suspect will have a huge impact going forward.

  2. I can understand but time to cry for the rest of the season. I hope wherever she goes next on her journey will treat her well and be a good fit.

  3. No contract offer sounds sus… Someone at the club knows something we don’t for that to be happening.

    Regardless, she’s a proper club legend.

    Can’t believe the club didn’t offer a new contract. Miedema and Roord linkup at City? i’m gnna go cry now. Thank you Viv, you deserved more trophies here.

    I think it’s the correct move for the player and the club. It wouldn’t be right to just have a player like viv (and the wages she’s on) on the fringes of the squad going into next season.

    She deserves a good move and one where she’ll play regularly, hope she chooses the right club and gets her career back on track.

  6. There it is, I’m just sad we don’t get to see her one more time in Arsenal’s shirt. I will only accept City move this if Chloe moves the other way.

  7. This one really, really hurts.

    She took a gamble when she renewed in 2022 rather than moving on. Sometimes big gambles like that work out- just look at what has happened for DVD since she left us (another move that really hurt). A lot of what has happened since then was beyond both Viv’s control and Arsenal’s- the ACL, the complications that arose with recovery, needing multiple surgeries, etc.- but I do think even before her injury, it was pretty obvious that she didn’t fit particularly well into the system that Jonas plays. A combo of her not fitting well, the struggle to come back from injury, and rumors that she and Jonas don’t really get along, really I’m not surprised she wasn’t offered a new contract.

    I will always be an Arsenal fan but I will also be a Viv fan. Rumor is that she will stay in the WSL. It’s going to hurt seeing her go to a rival, especially to one like City. But wherever she goes I hope she can find a return to form and be happy.

    The right move, we’ve kinda moved on from her. If only she didn’t convince herself she needed to be a #10 a few years ago, we’d still be thriving with her.

  9. To copy over my comment from the daily discussion.
    Emotional attachment aside this is probably the right move

  10. Noooo! I’ve been dreading this days for a couple years now, but it doesn’t making it any easier

    Lads wtf.. if she leaves to a rival as well this is going to be an absolute disaster

  12. Interesting because they did offer her a contract earlier in the season but Miedema decided to wait until she recovered from her ACL. I wonder what changed

  13. Thinking about her next move, I think she would fit right in at Liverpool. On the field, they are getting it right and off it also.

  14. Fucking nuts. What the actual fuck. The goat going to Man City?

    Sooo dumb of us.

  15. I’m sorry I can’t understand not offering her a new contract. Not even giving her a year after she got injured to try and get back to fitness just doesn’t sit right.

    It would be one thing if the the team was actually doing well but this season has been a disappointing even with the conticup win. Losing/drawing to mid table teams. Out of the uwcl, the title race and fa cup very early on, that’s not up to arsenal standards. And watching our forwards miss sitters every week after having watched viv score so effortlessly in earlier seasons has been so frustrating, even 60% fit viv would score some of those opportunities.

    Fair to say my head is a bit hot right now, seeing her at city would hurt but it is better than chelsea and united. And can’t really blame her when it’s the club that cut ties. Anyways she’ll always be an arsenal legend to me🫡

    I’m so sick guys this is incompetence at the absolute highest level to let her go like this

  17. Gutted and horrible news to wake up to, but not so unexpected given the last six months. Agent contact with other teams presumably started a while ago with her contract winding down, and it’s likely she got an offer that Arsenal knew they weren’t willing to compete with.

    Devastated, especially since she still hasn’t fully come back. It’s hard to know what could have been. Could’ve gotten back in form or just remained stagnant. They needed to let her come back and make a decision then. Its interesting how similar this is to the putellas situation. Even down to playing out of position.

  19. No no no no wtaf is this shit, are we dumb??? If i see miedema and roord sat at man city im going to be fucking livid, in my time watchin this team she is the undisputed goat. So sad to see her go 🙁
