Think it would be horrible if all those players left. Especially Xhaka and Luiz.

Wouldn't be surprised if the slide continues and we finish even lower next season.

Horrible? It would be great, those two you mentioned are liabilities.

Why anyone would want to keep Xhaka is beyond me, that guy should have been sold years ago, I wish we’d never bought him, such a dreadful footballer and one of the reasons we’re a midtable team now.

I’m praying he wants to leave so we’re forced to get rid at last

There’s no way in a million years the Willian wants to leave. He’s here for his pension.

Him leaving would actually be the biggest insult of them all.

And there's doubt about our GK coach cana amongst players

The players are: David Luiz, Willian, Bernd Leno, Granit Xhaka and Hector Bellerin.

I would have no problem with that, get rid, build again. But lets hope Arteta leaves with them !! I don't want him to oversee the rebuild.


This is what I'm sayin.

What's the point in a rebuild when its Arteta choosing and handling those players.

Are we going to spend £50m on a player, to what?, drill it into him to pass backwards and sideways??

Backwards, sideways is Arteta's identity .............. this is why I cannot support him, and never will now that he's revealed his long term plan, miss the days when he used the 3-4-3.

Look what he's done to Partey ffs.

Arsenal 0-3 Aston Villa
Arsenal 1 - 2 Wolves
Arsenal 0-1 Burnley
Arsenal 1-1 Southampton
Arsenal 0-0 Palace

If we had won those games we'd by in 3rd place right now.

They're all home games against inferior teams.

We should have won all of them.

It's a real shame we didn't get going until after Christmas - we just had a bad start to the season.
All these games, bar the draw with Fulham, were in the run-up to Christmas.
Since then we've been the 2nd best team in the league.

In fact, it was really only a run of 6 games in November and December that screwed us.

If Arteta stays - and he probably will - the summer transfer dealings are crucial. If we don't improve on what we've got, maybe get rid of a few, nothing will change. How can it?
