What happened. Bruno Guimaraes has been heavily criticised for his decision to leave Newcastle United for Arsenal, with former Magpies defender Steven Taylor rating the transfer 1/10.

• Taylor, now head coach of UAE side Desert Falcon, is baffled by the move.
• Guimaraes spent four seasons at Newcastle before joining Arsenal.
