His statement is so graceful. You can tell he's a thoughtful person, not just a footballer. The way he thanked everyone from staff to fans is a lesson in humility.

A bit sad to see him go. Always felt he could have achieved even more if not for injuries. But still, a fantastic career. All the best, Aaron!

As a neutral fan, I always admired his technique and late runs into the box. A modern midfielder. Wales and Arsenal will miss players of his calibre.
