I'm like "f**k no" !!! I cannot believe my luck, first we get f***ing Maureen who I cannot stand and now this potential Xhaka transfer, do me a lemon.
If Arsenal sign Tammy Abraham that will be a sure sign I am being punished heavily for my transgressions ........
To be fair to Xhaka, he'd do well in a tactical league like Serie A under Mourinho. At Arsenal, we're used to technical stalwarts and quick-passers; Arteta's 8-men-behind-the-ball notwithstanding.
Just look at Wilshere. He had as much technique to star at peak Barca. It's a shame that injuries and stupidity didn't allow him to excel. Wilshere and Diaby will forever remain what ifs.
The fact that we're struggling to get £15m flat for him is such an indictment on Edu and Arteta's non-negotiable skills.
If Xhaka were a Chelsea player, they'd have comfortably sold him for £25m.
The jack wilshere hype always makes me laugh, pep said himself they had many players in their reserves like him at the time
