What the hell was the point of Arsenal signing him? The ink was barely dry on the contract and they offloaded him already?

Contracts exist partly so you can sell the player during its tenure. Having a player sign a contract only to run it out and leaving for free is not a strategy for long-term financial success in football asset management. Plus, with Raya and Ramsdale, Turner was clearly weakest.
