The negativity on here from Arsenal fans is unreal.

Neves is defo the new Xhaka.
He has the same attributes. Primarily the ability to divide the Arsenal fanbase. Before even signing too which I feel has to be an upgrade, as Granit was not able to do that until a few months into his tenure.

Truth is Arteta has us playing the sort of football Benitez played at Newcastle with shocking players and no investment.

The purpose of sending players on loan is for them to get regular football and prove their worth or not, as the case maybe.
It would appear that Arsenal therefore have had very successful season in this regard. Some loanees have flopped but several have made their cases.

Are we all forgetting that Zinchenko captains his country as a central midfielder?
3 weeks ago half our fanbase thought he was being signed to replace Xhaka.
Today apparently we only have Xhaka and Lokonga who can play in central midfield.
Kind of weird, no?

Not been here for 15 years & over 2 legs we competed. Lessons to be learned for sure but in Mik we have a manager who will learn them.

The level of disrespect for Eddie in our online fanbase is crazy.

Noting a few comments about Arsenal triggering the Elneny I year extension whilst the player is injured.
Not seen anyone note the symmetry with Arteta. The club looked after Mikel in 2015/16 when was out long term injured, so no surprise to see him doing similar for Mo.

It seems folk think it is luck and a worry that a 19 year old carries our team.

Ignoring the price tag and just concentrating on the football, aged 20, Harry Kane was starting his 4th unremarkable loan and had yet to play any top flight footie.

A few years ago every Gooner and his dog wanted Julian Draxler. He is only 25, should be approaching peak years and PSG need to sell a few.
Why is no one mentioning him? He played 33 league games and we need a wideman on left. Value about £30m maybe.
Anyone?

Liam and I in my Block 31 behind Poch after Auba equalised in the NLD to make it 2-2. We went to win 4-2 on the 4/12/18.

Whatever your feelings about Jack and of course he is not a viable option for us, under Wenger, as one of our own, he would certainly not be training in his own.

I do find the snobbery over Ryan Fraser entirely bizarre. Created more goal scoring chances than any other player in the PL (by a distance). 28, ten more than next best, Hazard with 18. And that for a mid table team.
