Mkhtaryan

Been doing it at the top level for longer. No one had heard of Mahrez 3 years ago. Had a great season, went back to normal ie shit and now having a decent season again

Tough one but I would give an edge to Mahrez because he is a proven EPL player and won the player of the year award in this league.

With players like Ozil, Laca, and Auba. he could be amazing.

He has to play with shit in LC.

Neither will give you anything defensively.

Mahrez because he is ideal for Wengerball; the type of player we hoped Ox would become. He is a goalscoring wide midfielder that we badly need.

Mhikitaryan didn't want to come here, is low on morale and will likely be gone in a couple of seasons.

I’d have picked Mahrez too. Mkhitaryan is a good player but more suited to playing behind the striker. Mahrez is more suited to a wide right role. He disappears from play only to pop up and find an opening between the CB and FB. He has the perfect creative mind for arsenal along with excellent finishing coming from a sharp angle.

Mahrez all day Long, he has Arsenal dna. Without Mk there's no PEA. So Mk is the better signing if PEA is not included.

Mahrez for me, can play out wide (we need a player that can do that), scores goals (again another useful thing from midfield) and is proven at PL level.

Mkhitarayan for me is a more quality player than Mahrez.

I'd pick him all day long.

Not sure where this Mahrez hype is coming from, good player but nothing outstanding.

So was Vardy.

Is he better than Aubamaeyang now then?

One season doesn't make a career either so not sure what your comment was trying to say?

So, if I put Messi at Bournemouth does that make Mahrez better than him as well?

The question was "Who's the better player" not who's achieved more with a particular club.

Leicesters one season wonder doesn't make all Leicester players WC by default does it?
