Plays out. I hope he brings Xabi Alonso with him. It will be nice to have two fine looking chaps standing on the sidelines. It’s all going to be very different next season. Probably a new CB pairing and keeper, Ramsey probably won’t be here either. Exciting.

Ramsey has probably been our best player in recent weeks/months. A shame to see him leave, imho.Quote:

The best bit will be you ****ing off to Chelsea :-)Quote:

Does Mikel fully understand the risks that football management would bring for his hair though? He'll be grey within a year, probably going bald by year two.Quote:

His wife is preeeeety tasty though. I’ll give him that.
I'm really trying to reconcile my differences with the appointment. It seems we have changed the model and we're going down the route of a head coach to coach the players and set them up, a head of recruitment to sign players they feel will benefit the team, a director of football to manage football related operations, a CEO to manage the business side and a head of youth development to manage the kids.Quote:

Despite this, it really doesn't matter that Arteta knows Pep's tactics. We don't have nigh on £1billion worth of footballer to execute it. Pep might let Arteta pinch some of his rejects, though. If they sign Neymar we might get Sane :cloud9:
I'm not sure I'd describe an Arteta appointment as exciting just yet. I'd be keen to see his coat zipping abilities before I make my mind up.Quote:
