Decent player, in the main.
Seems to be a bit of a knob with it though.

Wll I suppose if EVER capt Dunk acted up, similar to that Arsenal chap, I'm sure GP would strip him of his stripes.

strong and stable with me, or...
It's a shame Arsenal have never had the previous experience of over-paying a player and seeing what that does to the player and his relationship with the rest of the squad. I'm sure they'd have learned from previous mistakes if they had.

£300 000 a week, club captain and after being given permission to return to France to collect his Mum he ignores the instruction to be back on the right day for the team's next training session.
Apart from the cost and his lack of discipline why not give him a go?
He's going to end up as another Ozil with a contract he won't get matched elsewhere. Arsenal are stuck with him.

I think there is a bit more to it than being reported.
- He had authorisation to fly to France to get his mum and fly her over
- He arrived back late (on a private jet)
- He also did not perform the required Day 2 tests as he 'did not know' - and turned up to the training ground having done so. It sounds like he thought he had dispensation like they do when travelling to Europe for games etc.
Sounds like bit of a nob

He was a crap choice of captain anyway. If I recall, he was given the captaincy as part of a push to get him to sign a new contract because he was making eyes elsewhere. Just add him to the long line of Arsenal players given long term, massive contracts to fix short term issues.
I think the rule of "if a player wants to leave, don't make them captain" usually works. I think there's also a difference between "agitating for a move" i.e. Aubameyang and "open to a move". I know Dunk was allegedly looking to move on at some point, but as far as I'm aware, his commitment to keeping doing it on the field for us and leading by example has never waned.

Arsenal need to stop giving out massive wages to players to extend a contract
Right man in the right club. Same levels of competence and organisation. Probably only stripped him his captain role so they can make him the manager or director of football instead.

Silly old bat
Ben White is trending on Twitter as Gooners nominate him as their choice of skipper.

Not mentioned by callers to Talkshite - Gabriel, Smith-Rowe, Tierney, Saka, but no calls for White.

It will be whoever they perceive as most likely to otherwise demand a transfer to a bigger club

Premier League Footballer exposed as an overpaid dickhead, well for one I'm utterly amazed...
Martin Keown said Ben White, Ramsdale, Tierney.... Ben White doesn't strike me as captain material
