I was so sad that Jerry Quy aka our famous & loyal mascot @Gunnersaurus and integral part of our club was being made redundant after 27 years.

As such, I'm offering to reimburse @Arsenal with the full salary of our big green guy as long as I will be an Arsenal player ... pic.twitter.com/IfWN38x62z
