We need to spend big on our next cm. It's gotta be someone good enough to sit in front of the cbs. Someone who let's Ramsey be Ramsey. Seriously xhaka instead of kante. Calamity .

It isn’t Xhaka’s fault he isn’t a DM. Its Wenger’s fault for buying another forward thinking CM.

Not surprising really considering he passes the ball back to the goalkeeper/defenders when under pressure, whereas Caz/Jack/Ramsey would dribble sometimes and seeing as Xhaka doesnt dribble he never gets on the wrong end of a bad tackle or an aggressive slide tackle, also to slow to track back and put a foot in, no tactical awareness and always leaving players unmarked.

Man I miss Diaby, a real midfielder who could drive forward with power and decent pace even if it was for only a few games per season at least he was on form unlike Xhaka, we really could use another powerful midfielder like Diaby, look at the way Dembele bossed us and juventus the other day, although these days it's hard to find a big man with technical ability and decent pace.

Not being funny but he's a waste of space going forward too, can barely pass and really offers nothing going forward. Overhyped, overrated average player, we should have never gone in for him.

He isn't a DM. He isn't a CM. He isn't a ST. He isn't a CB. He isn't a football player.

We need to sell Xhaka in the summer and replace him with a proper defensive midfielder. I don't see Xhaka having a future at Arsenal; therefore, we should sell him before his market value suffers significantly.

How much would we get for him? You think we'd get 40 mil?

Be lucky to get half that in June.

He will do much better under a more tactically astute manager in a slower-paced league where he is allowed more time on the ball.

Ideally for a counter attacking side (of which there are plenty in Spain and Italy) where his long passes are of more use.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Napoli go for him if they part with jorginho in the summer

As long as we get at least £20 million, I'll drive Xhaka to his destination myself.
