Sayonara LJUNGBERG...(he was the last remaining member of the side which went unbeaten for an entire Premiership season..)
'When Thierry left it felt like the end,' explained Ljungberg. 'I had a lot of clubs in for me in the summer but always stayed loyal.
'But I felt it was the right time to go. When I signed my last contract two years ago we talked about the future, building a new stadium and bringing in top players, but it didn't really happen.
'Of course the decision tugged at my heart strings because I had been at Arsenal for almost 10 years. It was a big thing for me.
'I felt Arsenal had let a lot of players go. When Thierry left I felt it was time for me to do something different and challenging.'
