If he's kept there when he clearly wants to leave , as he clearly said he wanted to join barca , then yes he is a slave
But i must admit its a bit fishy he signs a bran new contract last year or this year whatever for a 5 year contract , i think arsenal knew all along he was going to go , and we all kno the more years left on a players contract the more money you will have to pay , arsenal will receive about 35 - 40 million for the transfer i think that's going to replace the 80 ' 000 he earns a week
He's been at arsenal for years now its time for a change i wish him well when he goes
And arsenal fans should appreciate what hes done for your club , instead of giving him a roasting when he wants to follow his dream , how would you feel if someone came along and said you cant join Barcelona .
