In The Winchester, Waiting For This To Blow Over
Country: Northern Ireland

It was in Hairsprays head."Sell before they can buy" - what happened to our magical warchest
They said we have to sell before we buy, or don’t have any money to spend, every single summer in recent times. And we have gone out and signed people like Pepe for 72m and Partey for a lump sum of 45m."Sell before they can buy" - what happened to our magical warchest
Not the same fans. He's a divisive character, a large portion of the fanbase(myself included) rate him.Arsenal fans: Xhaka is sh!t
Arsenal fans: £20m, you must be joking, we want at least £30m.
It's not a queue system...So we have like a million squaddies who need selling(first) and you guys are excited about a starter leaving?
Let's get rid of clowns like Torreira first ffs
Players make mistakes in one off cases. Xhaka has been consistently making mistakes ever since he has joined. In case you didn't know, he has the record for most number of errors leading to goal ever since he joined. That's not even including the red cards received and penalties conceded which makes it even worse.Was Xhaka the only play to make mistakes that cost us points this season? Why is Xhaka singled out?
Holding, Partey, Leno and even Tierney have made mistakes that have led to goals. Why do the fans not get on their backs?
Even ignoring all that and 1 million silly fouls he did around our box, I can't imagine anyone paying that money for a player who needs 5 yards of space to turn and pass the ball forward, and he is supposedly some sort of a playmaker.Players make mistakes in one off cases.

I was expecting him to join Stoke for 8m. Would bite someone’s **** off for 20m. Just line it up and I’m off. Sell ASAP.
Big teams look him up? Can you remind me which big team came in to buy him when we put him on sale for absolutely any money that we could get? Oh yeah, the Champion League winners Hertha Berlin.Xhaka does have a lot of teams looking at him and we can use it tonpush the price up.
I am NOT Xhaka's biggest fan and I'd like to see Arsenal get back to a more Wenger'ish type of midfield, but I've grown up enough to not get blinded by my own idiology, Xhaka IS A GOOD PLAYER, he's just not the right player for us and also might shine a lot more in a slower, maybe more tactical league with his obvious strenghts.
We cannot just ignore everything explicitly said about, such as him being looked at by many many clubs and Mourinho absolutely loving him for years.
Can't cherry pick the twitter news we like to see fit into our own perspective whilst laughing off anything contradicting with it.
Any of the top clubs other than us has managed to get a good fee for almost any player they wanted out, even when that particular player has his eyes set on a club and manager he wants to work with, as long as interest from other clubs is there and the player has performed quite well in the past.
15-20m euros is bullying us once again, simple at that.
It might just be a purple patch or it might be him 'coming of age'. I'd take the chance given the amount of business we have to do to get back to a state where we can challenge for the top 4Yeah thats fair although for me you shift El Nen if possible (50k a week btw).
Torn on Willock, obviously a young guy needs to play regularly to develop. Is he going to get that here? He didn’t exactly take his chances here, obviously Newcastle is a different matter but can’t help but feel its just a purple patch.
It's more about wages imo. We have a CL wage bill with no European football, something has to change. Even now, with Xhaka out and Bissouma in, they've only shed a bit of the wage bill. Still plenty more to do.This sell before we buy stuff from a squad number perspective is complete BS. We don't have to register anyone yet and with Luiz out, we have space anyway.
We should have been working on departures behind the scenes months ago.i'd gladly first get Xhaka Bellerin Guendouzi Torreira Laca Kola sold first before trying buy anyone we can't leave it until last week of window to cancel contract and look for desperate loans.
