Can't see why so many are against this signing, Arteta and Edu have one of the best records of signing the right players, and more importantly the right mentality since they've been together, so the fact the are this insistent on paying £70m is huge
We don't have scary pace in our team, and it's so hard to come by someone with that pace who has an eye for goal and good close control, obviously the step up in defenders will be good, but defenders hate pace and will just retreat and free up space for others
My only concern is the fact he's not used to playing regularly against teams who sit deep and restrict space in the box, but he certainly has great close control and will hopefully win a few free kicks and penalties in games which are tight, I'd have love to have seen him come on against Newcastle, as we got too predictable
In Edu and Arteta we have to trust, just get it done for Sp**s a nice little cameo in the last 20 minutes on Sunday would be epic
