Arsenal's decision to sell Nacho Monreal for £250,000 looks madness now.
To say that it's been a poor first season for Kieran Tierney at Arsenal might be an understatement.
The Scotland left-back joined the Gunners in a £25 million deal from Celtic this past summer.
But fast forward four months and the 22-year-old has only managed 63 minutes of Premier League football for Arsenal since then due to injury.
Even worse, he has been ruled out until March with a dislocated shoulder.
As of right now, it looks very much like this season is a total write-off for Tierney, which means the club's decision to sell Nacho Monreal looks far worse than it did at the time.
Twenty one days after Tierney - who was injured at the time of his arrival - was signed, Monreal was sold to Real Sociedad.
The Spaniard was arguably the Gunners' best left-back since Ashley Cole and had proven himself an adequate centre-back option, too.

He might've been 33, but Monreal would still be one of Arsenal's best defenders right now had he stayed, which is perhaps a terrible reflection on the current options at London Colney.
To make matters worse, Sead Kolasinac, Tierney's back-up, suffered an injury in yesterday's 3-0 defeat by Manchester City.
What Arsenal would do for a Monreal right now, but at least they still have that £250,000 to find one in January.
