Two statements from Arsene Wenger five years apart summed up Arsenal's longstanding identity.
In 2013, Wenger said: 'The future of Arsenal will rely on the quality of work we do inside, to scout and develop. We are respected all over world for our values. We are not artificial.'
Then in 2018, while confirming his departure after more than two decades, Wenger signed off with this: 'To all the Arsenal lovers take care of the values of the club. My love and support forever.'
Arsenal have made redundant their head of international recruitment Francis Cagigao - who discovered Cesc Fabregas, Gabriel Martinelli and Hector Bellerin - as part of cost cutting
Cagigao has been with Arsenal for two decades and helped discover a number of key players
Those values Wenger spoke of seem to be changing now.
