He might have been decent for 3 months but he's been at Arsenal for 5 or 6 seasons and not once have I seen him (I'm not saying he has never) take the game by the scruff of the neck and controlled a game in the manner of Cesc, Paddy, KDB, etc. His record over his Arsenal career can best be, a what, 6 out of 10?
I appreciate he's a nice guy and a leader and his family have been through some shíté but we appear to have had him as a linchpin in those seasons and, quite frankly, he's not good enough and, at worst, part of the problem in our gameplay.
There.
