Not according to Chris Wheatley.

Juve are broke as well. Guarantee they'll want Xhaka on a player swap deal, Ramsey probably. f**k 'em.

Anything that moves him on.

As long as he's still here he'll be given preferential treatment meaning no new (non-slow) CM starting.

Honestly the slower pace of Italy will probably suit Xhaka to the ground, its just not a good fit for him in the Premier league imo, not at Arsenal anyway, guys been struggling to be anything better than average since he got here, been way too long for him to be moved on.

If the matched Roma’s offer and threw in Ramsey we’d be dumb not to take it, anyways I don’t think Ramsey’s going anywhere, Alegri is the one that signed him before he got sacked and now he’s back so I’m sure he’s a fan

Getting Ramsey back doesn't make any sense now. He looked very average in the Euros.

Look, hawk him out to the entire world now his stock is rising.

Its obvious he is better suited to slower paced football, we are never gonna see him perform for Arsenal like he does for the Swiss. Lets take advantage of the situation and maximise any sale by not limiting ourselves. Pimp him out now!!

Or maybe we should surround him with better quality players who should cover for his flaws and then let him just do what he is good at?

What do you expect him to do when he is surrounded by dross?

Youre making it sound like Xhaka is Ozil, and its the rest of the team that's holding him back. The difference is Ozil for a few seasons showed what he was capable of while at Arsenal. Xhaka has only done that for the Swiss NT, where coincidentally he is head and shoulders above all his teammates.

He’s rubbish, he’s had 6 years to prove himself and he’s been poor on and off the pitch, we should have cut our losses about 4 years ago, we certainly should get rid now, one good match at the Euros doesn’t change that, nor should it, there’s been countless players that have performed well for the entire Euros in the past and the flopped.

In short time to get rid, hopefully that performance pushes his price up, that would be the best outcome for us.

Reckon he'd do well in Italy. It's a slower league, more tactical. Plus, Mourinho has missed such a grafter since his Inter days. They seem perfect for each other.

Truth is who cares how he does as long as we get rid and end this nightmare once and for all, pound for pound one of the worst Arsenal signings ever!

Like I said, Juve are broke. They won't offer a penny.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57671886
Juventus say they expect to lose €320m (£275m) because of the coronavirus pandemic.

And the Italian giants are planning to raise €400m (£343.25m) in capital through a share sale to ease the financial pressure on them.

They are also still in dispute with Uefa over the collapsed European Super League project.

Questions were already being raised over the sustainability of their business model following the club-record £99.2m arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid in 2018.

What do you think we bought Partey for?

It doesn't work, because Xhaka slows up our game too much and if he tackles too much he gets a red card because he's too rash.

No thanks, just get rid and get a CM who suits our game more rather than "cover flaws".

LOOOOOL

Goonerz, stop it, seriously !! I have never seen a bigger hypocrite. When that exact same argument was made for the player who shall remain nameless you dismissed it outright. Do you actually read the things you write and understand what it means ?? Never seen this level of hypocrisy before in my life.
