There will be no more dench, no more prolific Instagramming showing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain busting moves to ragga tunes and no more social media trolling of Manchester United manager David Moyes, well, maybe only the middle one as social media legend Emmanuel Frimpong has transferred away from Arsenal, a club he has been with since 2001, to Barnsley, on a permanent basis.
A popular member of the dressing room for his eccentric behaviour and sense of humour, Frimpong will be missed by the senior Gunners as a number of the Ghanian's former team-mates at club-level huddled together to give the 22-year-old a send-off on Twitter.
Arguably the most heart-felt came from Jack Wilshere, calling Frimpong his bro, his bromantic partner and that he wouldn't have progressed all the way to first-choice midfielder and a candidate for future Arsenal captain if it were not for him.
Wilshere's fellow midfielder Aaron Ramsey commented that the dressing-room will be a lot quieter…
Good luck to my friend @IAMFRIMPONG26 12 years together mate! Wouldn't of got where I am with out you bro! #Bromance #LoveHate ;)
