Dani Ceballos has already integrated himself into the Arsenal ideology
He's injured

My only real point is in preparing everyone for the abject sh*tness that Pepe is destined to bring to The Arsenal before his inevitable sale to West Ham in the summer of 2021 :shrug:Quote:

No. He rolled over and stopped wriggling and now I've lost interest.Quote:

In fairness Maradona was one of the pioneers of modern levels of training, fitness and nutrition. Drugged up out of his eyeballs.Quote:
