It's an agenda.

You're 100% right. The agenda is for our team to challenge for top titles again.

Santi was an Advanced playmaker he played in the number 10 role.

In 2015 and 2016 he was our main central midfielder, with Mes just ahead of him as our 10.

Arteta was better, underrated too

Arteta was stat padding in that position by always picking the safe passes, either backwards or sideways. It was also a position he wasn't supposed to be in and got bullied easily by more physically dominant midfielders, so he made the most out of a rotten deal.
Xhaka was spraying diagonals early in the first two seasons here, but eventually started to do the same as Arteta.
Overall, I feel like Xhaka, who can be a real knucklehead at times, provides a bit more in that position.
Country: Nigeria
Player:Saliba
In December 2014, Wenger transitioned him into DLP role.
He was fantastic there, even verging on world class.
Country: England
15/16: Arsenal finish 2nd
25th May 2016, Arsenal sign Xhaka
16/17: Arsenal finish 5th, first time finishing outside the top 4 under Wenger.
17/18: Arsenal finish 6th
18/19: Arsenal finish 5th
19/20: Arsenal sit 9th with 2 games to go
Interesting.

Xhaka only has a long pass over Arteta. He is poorer than Mikel in almost every other aspect. Even for his height and size, Xhaka gets physically outmatched by the biggest players. Arteta had more progressive passes
Country: Nigeria
Player:Saliba
TBF, Arteta did have his own limitations but he was more penetrative with his passes.
Not constantly passing to the CB and sideways.

He was great, only lacked pace which caused all sort of problems because we had Mertesacker on one side and we played a high line. One quick ball down our right flank when Sagna pushed up and we couldn't cope. Koscielny nearly always had to cover but he had to mind his own side as well. If we had signed Cahill instead of Mertesacker I think we would've only seen the best of him and he would be very highly regarded, not just by Arsenal fans.

League is very weak
Arteta was one of the best midfielders of the Emirates era, just we signed him when he was older and those legs of his were abit knackered.

That's exactly what he was doing. He would assist or initiate an attack once in a blue moon. He was mostly holding on to possession by giving the ball to someone who wasn't in danger of getting dispossessed.

Without Arteta there was no possibility of us finishing in the top 4 in 2012. While in 12/13 he was statistically the best central midfielder in the country.
