Plenty of Arsenal fans have urged the club to sell defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
The 31-year-old has been a regular under Unai Emery this season, playing alongside summer signing David Luiz.
The Gunners have conceded 19 times in 13 Premier League fixtures, with Sokratis and Luiz both coming in for plenty of criticism following the 2-2 draw with Southampton on the weekend.
Following the club’s dismal display on Saturday, Arsenal fan @PatrickTimmons1 decided to give fans the choice to voice their opinions on every senior player.
Each member had a poll ran, with the options of starter, squad player or sell as an option.
And when it came to the Greek defender, 55% of 10,000 supporters, as of Monday morning, wanted the club to get rid of Sokratis.

Sokratis joined for a fee in the region of £18m in July 2018, and despite a positive start, he’s really struggled in recent months.
A major clear out needs to happen at the Emirates, so parting ways with Sokratis over the next six months could be a shrewd move.
William Saliba will be heading back to north London next summer, and with Rob Holding and Callum Chambers also fairly young options at centre back, losing Sokratis wouldn’t leave the club short.
