Koscielny will now become a club legend, hasn’t won the medals like players in the past (yet) but he’s up there with the best ability wise

We are delighted Coquelin, Giroud & Koscielny have all signed new long-term contracts. Have I misspelt Ozil & Alexis? Sorry, can’t hear you.

Some were preoccupied with the thoughts of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez signing contracts with the club.
Missed feelings about the French lot signing.. Happy obviously but not quite Alexis and or Özil isit lol. Kos signing is big tho. #Arsenal

One fan even chose to aim a veiled dig towards Ozil and Sanchez, who are involved in a contract standoff with Arsenal.
Giroud✍?
Koscielny✍?
Coquelin ✍?
They want to be there and have signed new contracts. No one has to beg them. #arsenal #COYG— WengerisT (@wengerisarsenal) January 12, 2017
