He played with Pochettino at PSG and the two are good friends it seems. Hope he doesn't go there.

I like the idea of him being a coach but with Wenger still in charge, I can see him becoming a puppet for his brand of shitty football.Originally Posted by The Emirates Gallactico
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I'll be honest and say don't know what the fuss is about him leaving, nice guy perhaps, didn't think he was all that great for us and he wasn't really ever top class so who known how good a coach he could be.
He was at his peak at Everton but never really reproduced that form for us, maybe it was because Wenger played him in the wrong position.
Anyway good luck to him.
True we never saw the best of him but he was club captain and was an intelligent player who was able to get us out of scrapes at times.
I think he was a good calming influence on other players as well and carried a quiet intelligence. The fact that both Pochettino and Guardiola want him to come to their respective clubs suggests he has future managerial potential.
So won't necessarily go down as a club legend, but a reasonably good outlay who helped us maintain stability at a time where we were all over the place.
Obviously his time at the club coupled with coming to the end of his career was emotional for him, and it was good to know playing for us meant a lot to him. So certainly wish him well.
Maybe but I never really saw this calming influence during our customary season collapses. He was pretty decent at Everton to be honest, I think Wenger played him in the wrong position and thus we never saw the best of him, he was always a bit of a creator at Everton, for some reason Wenger inexplicably decided to change his role as he seems to do all too often.
Why the guy can't buy a player and play him where he specialise I don't know, he wants to convert every Tom, Dick and Harry to something else, if he needs a striker he signs an attacking midfielder (that's the other thing he's obsessed with midfielders), if he needs a winger he'll sign some attacking midfielder and stick him on the left or right, be much easier to sign someone who plays as right winger if that's what you need.
On top of that players can't just do what they are suppose to do in their positions, if up front they have to be able to pass, he's totally against a player who is just a deadly finisher because they can't play the tippy tappy nonsense.

How hasn't Bellerin made the Spain squad? best RB in the league this season. Santi has also missed out.
Bellerin is unlucky that he has three other quality rightbacks in JuanFran, Vidal and Carvajal to contend with. Personally don't think any of them are better but I suppose Del Bosque went for the more experienced options ahead of the youngster.
Del Bosque likes Santi and he normally gets in but I guess because of the lack of football he's played this season because of his long term injury he decided to look elsewhere. It's not like Spain have a dearth of attacking/creative midfielders either.
Whilst it's always good to see our players perform well on the international stage I'm not complaining too much tbh. Bellerin especially needs a rest after this season.
Don't mind Bellerin missing out. Shame for Santi though as I think he could have done with the games, it must be very frustrating missing 6 months and coming back to full fitness only to have the season end.
At least Wheelchair should hopefully get some game time.
Bellerin was pretty average in the second half of the season I thought. He had his moments but his overall consistency dropped. More of our lads that stay at home the better. We'll have enough injuries to contend with next season anyway.
