Arsenal hero David Seaman is disappointed the club is allowing Aaron Ramsey to leave.
The Wales midfielder's deal will expire this summer.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Seaman said: “Arsenal used to just sort you out because they didn't want you to leave early.
“It has happened a few times now with the current Arsenal management that players are being left right until the end and then it becomes panic offers.
“The situation with Aaron Ramsey, I find it hard to get my head around.
“They make an offer and then take it off so then if they are not going to make him a new offer they are obviously going to want to sell him but now he can just say 'er, no, I will wait another six months and go at the end of the season' and Arsenal get nothing for a guy who is a quality player.
“It must be so frustrating for fans to see this as it is frustrating for me that quality players are leaving Arsenal again.
“It was like with Jack Wilshere (who left on a free to join West Ham in the summer). These are homegrown players and players you want to keep at the club."
