    And yet Joachim Löw, current manager of the World Champions and one of the favourites to be next manager of Real Madrid, rates him very highly. Of course, you could go with Neville's opinion

    But Lee's comments imply that Mustafi represents a blip in Wenger's transfer activity. Although he is nowhere near good enough he is better than many centre-backs that he has signed: this is the man who gave us Silvestre, Stepanovs and Squiddly-Diddly (among other complete duffers).

    I'd put Mustafi among the better ones he's treated us to: Cygan, Willie Gallas (post chav), Gabriel on a good day, Senderos......probably a touch below Vermaalen.

    Yet none of those would get into any of the other top teams.

    I think Squiddly-Diddly was actually quite good before he came to Arsenal.

    Terrific!

    "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."

    Or Dixon's...

    Indeed. But there is something very wrong with Mustafi's performances in an Arsenal shirt..

    Over-rated, I reckon. Even Gary Neville would win the World Cup with Germany. And Jogi won't survive his first contract at Real Madrid.

    He should come to us instead

    I'd prefer Simeone as he'll bring Griezmann with him

    I do not like Simeone. He's thuggish and brutish - like one of the baddies in a Caravaggio painting.

    therefore, perfect for breaking our pansy culture
