    TWAT!
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    "After Sergio Busquets, he is tactically the strongest midfielder in Europe."

    (Acccording to his former coach at Pescara, Marcello Donatelli, anyway.)

    "His technique, his determination and his tactical intelligence always impressed me.

    He has always been strong in understanding those defensive tactical aspects and he is very mature tactically in terms of how he reads the game. He can cope with the gaps that emerge in midfield with great intelligence and he covers very well. He is the one who corrects the spaces and cuts out the passes between the lines in the defensive phase.

    After Sergio Busquets, he is tactically the strongest midfielder in Europe.

    He is a computer in the middle of the field.There is nothing to add."
    Made more than 100 tackles last season (the third most of any player in Serie A).

    He also ranked sixth for interceptions.

    And was in the top 10 for passes too.

    In addition to comparisons to Kante, he's also been likened to former Pescara playmaker Marco Verratti, and was apparently once recommended to Juventus as the long-term heir to Andrea Pirlo!

    I guess that last bit could just be youthful promise that never materialised at senior level, but you never know! Maybe there's more to come from the lad than just breaking up play?

    Maybe soon we can start calling him Terrier on the back of some tenacious performances.

    He went off at half time in Uruguay's 4-1 win against Mexico, calf strain apparently.

    Xhaka is clearly practising some blood magic rituals or something.

    This guy just has to be starting now, he drives us forward from midfield in a meaningful way that the others really don't.

    And I don't mean against Vorsprung Durch Technik or whoever we play on Thursday but in the league.

    Yeah he does, find it odd that he hasn't so far, there's no real excuses, he's played in the World Cup so was fit and he always adds something to our game. Odd that the manager hasn't wanted to start him or indeed Leno at all and yet was happy to play a 19 year old from the beginning.

    This guy looks like a very good signing TBH. He came with a rep and he is justifying it. He absolutely should be starting every game now on. I also think he looks a very good partner for Xhaka, they compliment each other and I think Xhaka’s performances when playing alongside him have been pretty good tbh.
