Lukas Podolski joined Inter Milan from Arsenal in a loan deal that will see him stay with the Italian side till the end of the season. He was let go after it looked clear that he was not part of the club's plans at the moment.
Few days after the completion of his transfer, the 29-year-old has accused Arsene Wenger of disrespecting him by not bidding him farewell when the move was confirmed. He believes he deserved that at least for his contributions and moral uprightness during his stay at the Emirates Stadium.
"He said nothing to me. He did not call me or say goodbye," the World Cup winner said in an interview with The Sun.
"I don't need flowers or a kiss from him.
"But it is about respect, about saying goodbye. For me respect is important.
"I did everything for the club I possibly could have. I don't believe I did anything wrong. I did not get drunk in a club.
"I wish all of Arsenal and their amazing fans the very best for this season and I see myself as a Gunner.
"Nothing from him to me, though, but that is his way."
I don't know how you feel after reading Podolski's statement. For me, I feel so sad hearing this. I can't just say why Wenger acted in such a manner or is there something our boss is hiding from us? We shall soon get to know.
