Or missing Santi big-time! I find it hard to believe Xhaka is getting so much game time. To me he offers nothing bar an odd punt on 'first yellow'. He was very good in the Cup Final but I have yet to see him come close to that performance in any game this season. His lack of output is having an impact in the final third - poor free kicks etc.

I thought he was excellent last night (apart from dead ball delivery)

He seems to be forming a great relationship with Jack. A lot of what he does is understated, but vital. His defensive positioning was spot on last night.

If he were to go and work on his free kick and corner taking, he'd be close to the player I thought we were getting.

Santi won't be back and we should have been looking to replace him for some time.
Xhaka was ok last night apart from the free kicks. I'd take that for every performance tbh. He sat just ahead of the defenders and didn't venture too far forward very often. It's awhile since I was pleased with him. Let Ozil or Ramsey create the chances.

even if the deal included Mikhitarian as is rumoured.?

tbh I think he's flattered to deceive and wouldn't be that impressed

Don't rate Mikhitarian all that much and he wouldn't work under Wenger at all.

Can you imagine Wenger justifying that deal, oh god the meltdown on twitter would be hilarious :o:o:o:o

I see the sign for VAR is being reviewed as the 'finger in the ear' might not be clear enough for fans in the ground.

Football is so backwards sometimes, it's like they deliberately haven't used a well known sign for using VAR/TMO/third umpire from sports such as rugby and cricket just to be different.

I still think it's going to be a bit of a waste of time, much like retrospective diving bans.

It'll work better than Financial Fair Play, wherever that went.

If we're selling Sanchez then he should go to PSG rather than an EPL club.

2ndcoming

The funny thing is if we don't sell then either / both could rock up to Manchester in the summer anyway and feck all we could do about it.

Personally I think Mkhitaryan could work, a very Wenger type of player who has found it difficult under Jose's very rigid system but looking back on his Dortmund days he was scoring and assisting for fun. I always got the feeling Utd only bought him so we couldn't.

He'd be more of an Ozil replacement in my mind, don't see how a team could accommodate both.

That'd be ideal but i really can't see it happening. I'd say it'll be City he winds up at

It's doubt it's happening anyway. It's more than likely the next best juicy bull**** spinner for the papers considering Coutihno, Van Dijk & Barkley are already done.
Me personally, I'd prefer Ozil.

I can facilitate the signing of Jak Wiltshire. I also represent Danni Wallback and Alexei Sanches.

6'4" and he can actually jump. Very un-Arsenal.

Anchelotti could be coming to arsenal!!!

Coquelin gone to Valencia for a measly 12 million.
In this day and age that's a pittance even for a player of his limitations.
We let our players go very cheap at Arsenal.

What's that in euro, €15m or so? Seems cheap, but let's face it, if we replace him with better, then it's a good sale. He's been a drain on our wages, I think we all agree. Now to shift Walcott (Southampton?) and loan Iwobi. Even if we sign nobody else, getting them off the books would be good in my view!!! Then we can throw money at Ozil and buy Lemar/Mahrez/Keita and a centre half.

Yeah I know....... None of that will happen!

Do know what I've been thinking about this and 10/10 in the past I'd be the same but there is a part of me that thinks **** it let him to United and with any luck the fans will go into melt down with the club and put a stop to ****e once and for all.

Selling him to united isn't as a big a problem as the other issues are in the club. Two top players about to expire, show me any other players of this quality who have gone for free anywhere?

The state of this club

Nothing about ozil.

Id say hes off in the summer, probably already decided his club.

Bayern?

Looking at that video I predict a LOT of penalties being conceded.

He commits everything to the tackle and a quicker better player would get loads of fouls off him

Agree but Fc*k all happened when we sold our best striker RVP to them.
This club just don't care what fans think.

As reported by others, Alexis Sanchez will leave Arsenal this month if suitable offer made + replacement secured. Hierarchy accept/expect it, conversations continue with Man City. #AFC wanted £35m, #MCFC £20m, possible compromise £25-30m. 1st choice replacement Bordeaux’s Malcom https://t.co/lZtS98ocqk

Think its a rule in Spain they all have to have release clauses in their contract. Might as well make it really high.

rodders999

This quote from Big Sam has absolutely made my Friday....absolute BANTER.


But he (Allardyce) views Walcott as "proven", citing his "goal scoring threat" and "crossing ability" as key attributes.

:eek:

Crossing ability

Trigger

Crossing ability to who? Yer man 10 yards behind the goal? Or the fullbacks ankles?
