Arsenal heading in a 'frightening' direction as former Gunner brands them 'a selling club'

Steve Sidwell is shocked at how events have unfolded in north London since he left the club, with the expected progress having never materialised

Arsenal have become “a selling club”, according to former academy graduate Steve Sidwell, with the ongoing Aaron Ramsey saga highlighting the “frightening” direction in which the club are heading.

Having tasted Premier League title success on three occasions under Arsene Wenger, a move to Emirates Stadium in 2006 was intended to lift the club to even greater heights.

The costs of making a move impacted on transfer business, though, with a more frugal approach taken to player recruitment.
