The only good thing about Xhaka extending is that we can still detect Manberg accounts.

Could be the boy say yes, he did like a good statistical defence.
Where are you getting that idea from?Does most of AM really think Xhaka is better than Aouar, Locatelli, Neves & Sabitzer? Are you people for realz?
That's definitely my stance tbhSo your argument in favour of Xhaka is basically the team is **** so it doesn't matter that Xhaka is ****.
Well, it as an argument, I give you that! It is a ****ty one, but taking your logic as base in your favour...
That’s kind of my point anyway, that was a freak incident rather than the rash Xhaka we are used to. Arteta’s arsenal had a lot of those freak incident with basically every member of our back four making multiple major mistakes. I think because we were under so much pressure defensively this season.I'm so hungover.
That back pass he made last season which hit off a defender and went in just sums him up, he'll do the same crap next year.

Nah my argument is that Xhaka used to be a error prone liability in a team that wasn’t very error prone. He stuck out like a sore thumb and was clearly the problem.So your argument in favour of Xhaka is basically the team is **** so it doesn't matter that Xhaka is ****.

Oh yeah, that actually doesn't sound fine. Talented players will want to play as soon as they hit 20, many will want it before. Some will probably be OK with a loan or two, but they definitely won't be happy watching this fraud for another 4 years waiting for their turn. I wouldn't be too surprised if this Lokonga is already better than Xhaka, will need to see him for a few games.Two 28 year old CMs with a good balanced partnership and 4-5 years left at the top while Lokonga and Azeez develop behind them? Oh nooo we're doomed oh wait actually that sounds fine.
Nobody wants any of our players, even a half decent spell in the Euros can't undo what other managers have seen when they've watched them plodding in the swamps of Arteta ball.
I'm confused, are you having a pop at Saka here? He's 19, to be achieving the league average at that age is phenomenal.Two 28 year old CMs with a good balanced partnership and 4-5 years left at the top while Lokonga and Azeez develop behind them? Oh nooo we're doomed oh wait actually that sounds fine. Meanwhile we're building statues for Starbob Squarepants and ASMR.
Having two highly paid CMs coming into their late 20s/early 30s is really gonna be troublesome. It would be better to have Partey and then pair him with a 22-26 year old and move on Xhaka. Look at the trouble we have with Lacazette and Auba. Our squad is lob-sided with highly paid close to 30 players and kids who have one or two seasons under their belt like Balogun, ESR, Martinelli etc. The whole point of this rebuild is to bridge the gap. Bring in players in 22-26 age bracket. Move on the elderly players: Willian, Xhaka, Laca, Cedric etc. Loan out the youngsters in need of gametime: Balogun, Azeez, Patino etc.In 2023, we will be crying about why we have a useless player on high wages who no one is willing to buy. If he is a regular starter for us at that time, it's an even worse predicament for the club.
Long contracts should be given to good players who have proved something here. If we are going to give it away to someone who has been stinking the midfield for 5 years and no good club would touch with a barge pole, it just shows that the club has never learned from its mistakes. Pathetic management.
It's not about being stingy. It’s just that they don't think he is worth that much money. I mean they have watched him be atrocious for five years, Anything beyond 15m would be daylight robberyWhat a s**ty excuse this they aleady spent like 14M on Rui Patricio 18M on Genoa Striker and 13M on RB who play in Brazil they got money to spend.
