    He's an excellent player, shame he's not a long term signing as realistically he's 29 and thus will only have a few years. If he was 26 this would have been a fanstastic signing as he could have been part of a long term plan for success...as it is hopefully should do very well.

    Im glad we got him, tbh, he's no cesc but will give us the creativiy we need and it would be good to have exprience in the middle of the park. At least rambo won't be starting games any thank feck.

    Ramsey will be fine provided we don't expect him to be the controlling influence in the midfield, it's unreasonable to expect that of him at his age. People can go on about other 20 years olds being great but I'll bet they all had great players around them and weren't trying to hold together the sort of shite we saw out on the pitch last Sunday. Ramsey improved massively in the Udinese game once Rosicky relieved him of a bit of responsibility.

    Marquee signing NO, I think we were looking to smash our transfer record and were disappointed when we didnt because it showed Wenger wasnt serious
    But Aretas signing is a very good signing, he has been putting up comparable assist numbers to that of Cesc and Nas and knows how to score. . . .things also wont have to go through him as much and I can see him supplying the wide boys who have been upgraded with the arrival of Gerbil (sadly no Hazard) Oxo and Miya will be given time to improve. The team will hopefully have more balance and we will see a major mark up of the crap that went out on Sunday, Yossi's arrival too will make some think their place is by no means a cert, which Arshavin shouldnt anymore. . .M'Vila was the hope but Song gets a chance and Frimpong proved that he xan play. . . .just needs to leave the bad boy attitude to his tweetwr posts

    MIKEL ARTETA has stunned Arsenal fans by admitting his best days are behind him.

    The Spaniard was Arsene Wenger's standout purchase on deadline day as he secured a £10million move from Everton.

    But the midfielder, who turns 30 next year, revealed time is fast running out for him.

    He said: "There is always a start and an end and today is the end of probably the best time of my career.

    "I am 29 years old so I haven't got much time left to take a chance like this one. I think I have done my best for Everton.

    "It is very difficult to say goodbye. I still can't believe it but at the same time I think it is the right moment for everyone.

    "It has been crazy. I can't believe what happened, and the way it happened but as I said, that is part of football and I am going to be playing for another club soon.

    "Obviously I am never going to forget what I have done here and what the people and this club have done for me."

    Arteta revealed the lure of Champions League football played its part in the move.

    He said: "It is a big opportunity for me and my family and I think it is the right time for me to take it.

    "It is a big challenge, a different challenge, fresh for me and I want to see myself on the biggest stage, the Champions League.

    "I always try hard, I have been as professional as I could and I was grateful for the support and the love that the club and the fans showed me."

    How many on here are stunned?
