It's amazing how people harped on about Arteta & Mertesacker being panic buys>>>

when we bought them in a mad rush at the end of that transfer window... But look at them now. They're our captain and vice captain respectively.

But it's not necessarily true. Who knows how long they have been tracked, negotiated over etc? We get all our information from the media. If they haven't picked up the story we don't hear until late. The assumption is that the interest started the moment we read about it.

We could do with players of his ability in our squad now.

When mourinho or harry does it they are winning a mind game of brinkmanship.

The fact is, arteta and mertesacker were part of a week of panic on our part. Arteta probably was a panic buy but we knew full well he was the right kind of signing. Mertesacker had been rumoured for the whole summer.

By the way, plenty of people will stil ltell you tht per is a terrible, terrible defender and a total lisbility. Alan hansan for one.

f**king idiots.
