It's a dangerous new low. Even the youngsters can't see a way forward with this club. Arteta's had 17 games to take a chance and turn this around, build a team based on young talent, but he's lacked the courage to do it. Players like Mustafi and Xhaka cost the club in many more ways than the inflated wages. Weak managers means nothing changes.What a mistake.

Helps that Eddie is rubbish and probably knows how lucky he is to even be considered an option for Arsenal.What a mistake.

Honestly, I think they’ll both be gone by the summer. Lacazette too.What a mistake.

I'd like to think you're right about Eddie, but don't forget that Arteta thinks Xhaka's indespensible and, until ESSR and Saka showed him otherwise, that Willian was too...
Eddie will be down to his final year by the summer and I haven’t seen any talk of extending. I guess Brexit and HG quotas could still save him, but we need funds, and we could get an English premium for him.
I’m not as convinced that Arteta sees Xhaka as indispensable as you are - I think he might just be blowing smoke up his arse because he needs a performance out of him. I know Partey has only played 2.5 games for us so far, but he’s clearly first choice, and when he has played Xhaka has been benched. When Partey’s out I think Xhaka creeps back in because none of our other midfielders have any kind of leadership credentials, but when Partey’s fit then Xhaka looks far from indispensable.
Really don’t know what to make of the chances Willian has had, though. All I can think of is it’s pressure to justify the signing, because unlike Pepe and Özil and all the other players he hasn’t hesitated to bench or banish, this one is his responsibility. Privately, I reckon he knows he’s signed a dud there - how can you not - but can you imagine how bad it would look to the owners and the board if he gave up on him after a month? No way to avoid it though - he’s not improving. Arteta and Edu are in for a shouting on that one.
looks like Ozil's Fenerbahce move might be happening
