Most of our lot are either unaffiliated or Bible bashers like Saka
With Xhaka moving on, that’s pretty much all the remnants of Wenger’s dying days gone.Quote:

And I think Rice is massively overrated.
If we want to spend a lot on a midfielder it should be Caicedo. We clearly aren’t signing both
I’d rather we didn’t have an 8 role anyway. Would prefer someone like Rice who’s very robust to sit with Partey and help transition play a lot quicker than we currently do. Rice can play box to box too at least. The role Xhaka played this year was fun for a bit until it meant our midfield getting absolutely overrun. We conceded a shit ton of goals this year and as far as I’m concerned a lot of that came from a lack of midfield control.Quote:

i think that's right, Xhaka slowed things down at times (also my one of my several big issues with Zin that he does the same), we're often so slow in transition and it's not made us any more secure at the back without Saliba to tidy things upQuote:

Got to say though, personally i don't know why any player would want to come to a club where players are frozen out or discarded so completely and so arbitrarily by the manager, for reasons of subservience rather than whether they can do a job for the club
Now I’m largely of the view that it was only going to be a matter of time before Arteta froze someone out.Quote:

I don’t suppose it will though, that would take humility
oh dear, he really has lost all sanity now... :rose:

It's still mathematically possible we could win the league. We won't clearly, and I don't believe he thinks we will either. But what's he supposed to say? If he said it was over he'd get hammered for that :shrug:

I wouldn’t say anything like burn the gays on here, there’s far too many people who would take it personally
