Calum Chambers' move to Aston Villa highlighted Arsenal's inability to effectively sell fringe players.
The Gunners have been maligned for their transfer dealings in recent years, often accused of allowing players to run down their contracts before allowing them to leave for a cut-price, or even for nothing.
On Thursday evening, Chambers was allowed to complete a move to Villa for an undisclosed fee, with The Telegraph reporting that it was a free transfer.
