How comes nobody else moved to sign him despite being part of the Team of the Year?

*GP posts a link about him being in the Bundasliga team of the year*
"That doesn't mean a lot..."

No.

Like I said team of the yer means nothing, prefer someone who's been consistent or stood out over some nobody from a league with one team in it.

Like I said Vardy was in the team of the year, it's a perfect plattform for 1 season wonders, this guy is so good his club let him run down his contract without trying to sell him before :lol:

35 million Xhaka has been a huge hit hasn't he.

It's possible but how likely is it that he turned down a move to a bigger club with Champions League football? Why choose Arsenal?

I think City were after him originally before Mendy. Though given he was a free transfer, I'm sure he had a lot of options by default.

He's always wanted to play for us. As a boy he wanted to have Arsenal DNA. We are the club of his boyhood dreams. He had a picture of RvC on his wall.

I was reading something similar but his agent denied that. Sky were saying City, Everton and Milan were after him. Some others were saying Chelsea made a bid in January. Again, why Arsenal? Given what he's seen last year, is he mad?

An actual quote from Wenger, related to Alexis :haha:

'There is no development in his future it is always the same. He is staying, of course.'

The unwitting truth? For all players who end up here?

London lights?

I care about Arsenal about 1% now but surely if Ozil, Ox and Alexis are not going to sign new deals then they have to be sold and replaced with players who actually want to be here.

Wenger is a cancer to Arsenal and he seems to be getting worse and the board do nothing apart from beg the fans to support him.

It will be terrible when Alexis finally leaves because he is such a good player but if he wants to go then he must be sold to the highest bidder and that money re-invested in the squad.

It will be the same old, same old, same old, same old shit starting in about 10 days time, you just know it already.
