GG, we appear to have the midfielder we need to play next to Partey in 4231

Yup. And that's when it went wrong.

Before we had the Chavs and City millions, we could afford to compete. We had DB, TH and Kanu and still broke our record to sign Skiltord.

Even when we were paying for the new stadium, we could have Hleb and Rosicky and still sign Nasri and AA.

But by the 2010s, we were short of cash. If we'd bought a world class striker instead of Cech, we'd have won the league that year.

Xhaka was a mistake {as was Mustafi - the difference was than Vermaelen was a mistake so he just went out and got Kos and then Per.}

That's what he needed to do with Xhaka. But Santi's injury ruined his ability to do so.

He should never have signed Xhaka - AW needed DMs like PV and Gilby, even pound shop ones like Song and Coq.

And he needed no.10s - DB, Cesc, Nasri, TR7, AA, Santi, Mesut etc.

We didn't need a deep lying playmaker who can't defend.

I never got why he signed Xhaka when what we needed with Santi, MO and Alexis was a better Coq. A DM.

I just want to re-create our 2006 CL team. GK - back four - DM {Partey} - 4 No.10s {MO, ESR, Saka and Pépé} - sexy, Francophone striker with no.14 on his back.

Xhaka is the worst regular starter MF AW ever had. At least Coq, Song and Denilson could do a job defensively and just give the balls to the No.10s.

Santi got injured cause Wenger went full retard if people remmeber correctly. Xhaka, although a useless *******s needed games as he barely played for the club at the time after just being signed. The dumb ****er that he is just got himself banned for 3 games in the league so wouldn't be seen for quite some time. Lucky for us we had a cannon fodder team to play in the CL so could bed him in there. Erm, no. Wenger kept the donkey on the bench and played Santi. He of course got injured and was put into semi retirement.

We beat the shiiiiit CL cannon fodder team about 6-0 though.

It's bad luck/bad management to get injured being overplayed.

You can't expect the player to moss 2 years and almost lose his leg to gangrene.
