Arsène Wenger claims Arsenal’s team spirit is better than ever after the departure of some players.
The Gunners started their Premier League campaign with a sensational 6-1 victory at Everton, proving that life at the Emirates is far more harmonious without troublesome striker Emmanuel Adebayor and centre-back Kolo Touré, who were both at the centre of dressing room unrest last season.
It is no secret that Adebayor did not see eye-to-eye with fellow hitman Nicklas Bendtner, with whom he infamously clashed in a Carling Cup tie at Tottenham Hotspur.
Touré meanwhile endured a strained relationship with his defensive partner William Gallas to the extent that the pair are understood to have barely spoken even when on the pitch.
"We have a united spirit," Wenger said ahead of his side's Champions League qualifier against Glasgow Celtic.
"You have to take care of your attitude and the players have to take care of the spirit because it is as fragile as the weather in England, quickly cloudy.
"When you have no attitude or spirit you have no results and when you have results, you can also lose it quickly.
"But I believe we have a good attitude and a strong togetherness and that came out on Saturday.
"I always felt we had a good spirit but it's difficult to measure when you aren't living every day in the dressing room."
