Esr

[Chief Arrowhead]

I'll say it; I've never been overly enamored by ESR. Obviously he has some talent but what is his best position? Remember that he's 23 next month too...

Also - he's spoken before out struggles with his diet. I wonder whether there is an element of professionalism. Either way; if we are to be challenging for titles I do not see him as even being strong enough for our bench on a regular basis.

I don't think ESR is the 100% fit you need to be to thrive in today's EPL which is a shame. The whole injury thing was sort of strange wasn't it? He' playing, then he's not, then he is... only then do they schedule surgery and he's crocked from that for ages. It must be something rather permanent I fear.

I suspect you’re right and what turns Arteta off is around the commitment to recovering from surgery. It is just a hunch but if true he’s doomed at Arsenal. Mikel expects you to give blood for the shirt.
