People have accepted xhaka and has zero expectations on him. There are more expectations on Sambi than xhaka who did absolutely nothing. Sambi was actually betterXhaka?

There are many frauds at Arsenal and I would focus on them than him. The owner, the board, the football director and the manager. Then the captain, the former captain, the 80 million English cb and keeper who are not better than what we hadHe's just an annoying player to watch. One of those who thinks he's better than he is.
- Doesn't break a sweat. Look at him at the end of the game, not a sweat on him, no sign of exhaustion.
- Jogs around the pitch casually.
- Hides next to opponents so he can't receive the pass.
He's a fraud. Offers absolutely nothing that AMN couldn't do. Not saying AMN was the answer either, but it just shows what a poor piece of business this was.
Sorry but Guendouzi worlds above Sambi when he first came I don’t agree with at all. I find the Guendouzi love in a bit irritating, probs cos I’ve never liked him.We payed more for an unexperienced player, that the money we're getting back for Guendouzi who's having an amazing season, who was worlds above Sambi when he started in the PL.
Amazing stuff.
Ofc it's not his fault. He might even turn out to be a good/very good player one day. But he wasn't what we needed at the time, and it's hard to justify the money invested in him since he's still so raw and far away from the premiership level.
20M for a guy who can't start a game in the PL, where you could have put some extra cash, a £30M could have brought us a very solid midfielder who would have contributed this season.
Or keeping Guendouzi
You are missing the point like many of you here, Douzi doesn't need to be great, it's Sambi who needs to show more than Douzi after Arteta and Edu invested 20M for no reason at all, and the boy is struggling to do that.Sorry but Guendouzi worlds above Sambi when he first came I don’t agree with at all.

Guendouzi had some real poor games for us in his first two seasons. I remember a game against wolves, he was played as the lone 6, similar to Sambi, in a diamond and got eaten alive there.
Personality to get on the ball he had it in buckets but he could be so infuriating the way he’d go down looking for a free kick the minute he’d be touched. Off the ball he offered little to nothing (he actually improved in this a little) but he was so unbelievably weak, jogged back without any awareness of what was going on around him, aerially he would literally duck away from the ball. Put him with a player that masks his deficiencies he’ll probably look way better, from the sounds of it he’s been given way more freedom at Marseille and he’s excelling. Sambi had a period next to Partey where he was arguably the better performer and I was quietly impressed.
We all love to kill a player to big up another we like, Ive just done it, I barely ever criticise Partey because I love him as a player, I actually dread going in the thread when he’s had a tough game!
I don’t watch Marseille, sounds like he’s improved hugely so congratulations to him. If people wanna slag the club off for tanking his value then I’m cool with that but being honest if he was still here I think he’d be drowning along with all our other young players in this current run.
To be fair to Arteta he was defrauded by Vincent Kompany. I strongly suggest, the club should report Kompany to the police for the day light robbery.You are missing the point like many of you here, Douzi doesn't need to be great, it's Sambi who needs to show more than Douzi after Arteta and Edu invested 20M for no reason at all, and the boy is struggling to do that.
I don't think people here hate Sambi, it's a go at Arteta and his decisions after he was trusted with the biggest budget in our history. After 220M wasted, you think this team can't beat early Emery's team of 2018/2019, and our best players today are academy grads that were here before Arteta
Think we may have a bit if a dilemma with Sambi. I think for his own development he needs to be a starter somewhere, but that's obviously not here any time soon. Needs a loan, but then what do we do for the Partey back up? Signing a player in that position may block Sambi's pathway back into the squad. Maybe you extend ElNeny and loan Sambi?
I'd sign two midfielders and loan him out. I think 4 midfielders are enough.
Agree, but what types of midfielder? I think we need a Xhaka upgrade and then competition for Ødegaard. I think bringing in another DM kills Sambi's route into the team, which I don't think the club want to do. I'd sign those two types of midfielder and maybe extend ElNeny (in two minds about this though).
He looks to have the skill set of a more attacking midfielder and not really a 6 in the mould of Partey.
Still needs a loan like what Saliba has had. Consistent games and we can judge properly.
I still think there's a player here. He's had something of an acclimatisation period and needs to get some decent minutes and kick on now. No guarantees but I wonder if we see a big jump in his performance level this season.
