Granit Xhaka (Out)

[Taneruit]

Can they match his 100k/week wages? Hope this gets resolved soon.

The agreement with Xhaka himself has been done for ages. Even before the euros. So, that's not an issue.

I assume he took a pay cut.

[El Duderino]

YES!

 

[AberGooner]

If Xhaka hadn't pushed for this move once he knew Mourinho was interested we wouldn't currently be looking for a new midfielder, you've got to thank him for that whether you rate him or not.

 

[Squillaci]

YES!

Come on man. Don't get my hopes up.

 

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

This is only good as long we improve the position, we're currently short on numbers and quality in central midfield. With him leaving we could sign 2 central midfielders and we wouldnt be overloaded.

We would. Lokonga and any new midfielder won't come here to be benched by another midfielder. We need 1 to replace Xhaka and then an AM and we golden.

How can he join them if the deal isn't done?

He's just gonna drive up to Roma's training ground in his car and wait, Odemwingie-esque.

 

[Sanchez11]

This legit? Anymore coming days or hours?

 

[TakeChillPill]

The day Xhaka goes will be like the day we signed Bergkamp!

The first meaningful thing he's done for us in a while

Stan was the reason for our decline, he simply didn’t back Wenger to maintain or push for more. You can’t blame the players, it’s not the fault of Giroud that there was no other striker to take his place.

We had to sign Özil OR Higuain. Both would’ve cost 80M and won you the league definitely.

Xhaka is actually a good footballer and a strong character, he’s just maybe in the wrong league and a toxic club.

If he wasn’t an Arsenal player and we watched him in the Euros, most of this would be saying we need a leader like him.

Top post G.

Granit the Hacka

 

[Sanchez11]

Still here?

 

[Aevi]

I don't think him to be a bad player, but his time here probably won't be remembered fondly by most. Shame it didn't pan out better, I thought he had a lot of promise when we signed him for Monchengladbach but he just never adjusted to the pace of the English league imo. Think he could thrive in Serie A where he might be afforded more time on the ball though.

Mine would have to be this season against Burnley. When he runs towards Leno demanding the ball only to send it via Chris Wood into our goal. It’s so comical even though when it happened I was close to a brain hemorrhage…

I don't know if it's recency bias but I do think that's the worst goal we ever conceded. I really can't believe how stupid it was.
