Why would I think of leaving the team now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and honestly said, \"Last season, I had 9 goals and 5 assists at Sheffield United, which means I can be a starter for a Championship title-chasing team, and maybe even for a Premier League relegation team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But back at Arsenal, I have no confidence at all.
