"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
The solution is obvious. Xhaka needs to remain and we can help him by giving him somebody to pass to when he receives the ball deep. So, instead of looking up and seeing a Welshman heading towards the opposition penalty area, he can look up sand see JAck finding space to receive the ball within 10-15 years of him.
In other words, Ramsey can **** off and play instead of Ozil- or sit on the bench.
Of course, that cant happen this weekend as Jack is now officially knackered having played 90 minutes last night.
Tackling is good fun. For a chap like me with a good eye for the ball, a natural sense of timing and pretty much no technical ability whatsoever, nicking the ball off some fanny-dancer's feet is pure joy. Then I look up in panic hoping that one of our clever chaps is nearby so I can pass him the damn thing quickly.
