So just over 1 1/2 years after Arteta joined the club, just over a year after he won the FA Cup and just over 3 months since he finished the season with the 3rd most points over the last 24 games, some of you want to sack him after the first 3 games of this season.
:hehe: Honestly, some of you must be wind ups.
Nah, He's a cund and he needs to go. The players will get him sacked anyway just a matter of time.Quote:

:nod: I can't believe the sum of this bunch of players is less than they are individually.Quote:

Xhaka new deal is the worst piece of business we've ever done.Quote:

However everyone will be confused when whoever the new manager will be one day comes in and continues to play him too.
it's up there.Quote:

Ye are all mental.
Agreed. We spend £150m but don't get rid of the biggest weakness and area most in need of improvement in the starting XI.Quote:

I was thinking a 433 with White, Lokonga and Partey would be pretty destructive imo
Would be pretty happy with that.
2016 - Arsenal finish second. Buy Granit Xhaka at the end of May.Quote:

Xhaka signs new contract...20th
I ain't saying there's a link to Xhaka being our midfield (ahem) general and our steep decline... No, I am.
And you're right to.Quote:

Xhaka's where it all went wrong. Yet we won't take the 10m from Roma and he's still at the heart of our MF with a longer contract.
As much as I dislike him and don't understand how he is still in the team IUFG, I can't blame him nearly as much as the donkeys we have at the back right now.Quote:

Would've cost us about 40m to replace Xhaka, so can understand that we focus elsewhere. Hopefully we can spend properly on new CM & CF next summer.
And however sick and tired we are of watching him, he actually did pretty good last season when paired with Partey.
