Summer '21 transfer lunacy and overpayment

[I am invisible]

Who??

21yo Anderlecht captain. Central midfielder. Highly recommended by Vincent Kompany (who affectionately calls him "Yaya") and Henry.

Arsenal trying to fuck up the transfer deal for Xhaka with Roma. Holding out for more money for a near 29 year old walking clusterfuck. Just sell. Anything over £50 is a good deal.

Well Mourinho thinks he's a fantastic footballer and that he held the Arsenal midfield together last season

Xhaka may be limited, sometimes error-prone and stylistically not what most Arsenal fans would want in a midfielder. But, he was undoubtedly one of our most consistent players last season. It's also true that he's the only midfielder that was reliable over an extended period.

Consiatently shite and annoying, yes

If we don't get rid when someone else actually wants the guy it's a joke

I'd pay them that to take him away

Whatever people think of him, he was at least our 2nd best midfielder last year, and maybe even our best, once you factor in Partey’s minimal game time. That’s just a fact - a sad fact, maybe, but still a fact.

Unfortunately for Xhaka he’s also cursed with a couple of problems that are always going to hold us back, so this is absolutely the right move for everyone.

Don’t worry about the sale going, through - this is just the tabloids / click-bait sites following the usual, transfer-soap-opera script to get their money’s worth. Expect a couple more predictable “twists” before it’s done.

He’s going, don’t worry about it. The club, the player and/or his agent could all have killed these stories stone dead in an instant if there was no truth to them.
