Do not be surprised if Arteta leaves this summer.

I think he was found a leetle short at times this season. His chronic lack of pace is causing a problem here and there.

I don't want him to leave as he seems a good bloke to have around the club. But I don't think he should be starting every week.

Also, a replacement for him could add a little more feesically on the pitch, which is arguably something we've missed, particularly against the better teams in the division.

In conclusion, I would like to see him removed from a starting berth and replaced with one of the following players.

Yaya Toure
Paul Pogba
Lars Bender
Gundogan
Maybe Fabregas.

He will go on a free next summer.

but pleased that he won the FA cup.

So it has been worthwhile for him to come to Arsenal.

:hehe: Hes still got it.

You are brandishing those names around as if they are actually a realistic possibility.

Gundogan hasn't played for a year and his back looks to be in permanent disrepair, we can't -- and shouldn't, -- match Yaya's £300k a week wage, and Pogba will have Madrid, Chelsea, City, and PSG gagging and throwing an obscene amount of money Juve-way.

Still, that leaves Cesc and Bender. I'd happily take either one of them.

Are you quite sure you're in the right place?

I do find that distractions such as the Arsenal quells my existential angst and general psychic (and spiritual) dissatisfaction.

That is, until the f**king transfer window comes around and I invariably get dragged into some ridiculous saga which disturbs my mental equilibrium and renders me a sobbing, quivering mess.
