A lot of this Arteta rage feels like chucking the baby out with the bath water to me? If your problem with him is that you genuinely think he has no value whatsoever, and isn't capable of making any kind of contribution, even as an occasional squad player and mentor, then fair enough. But if your problem is more specifically with him being our first choice defensive midfielder, and us not signing anyone else to play there, then your problem is actually with Wenger.

Let's put it another way - if Wenger left tomorrow, and a new guy came in and bought a wizard-good DM in the januray window, would you still believe that Arteta should be ditched, or would you think he might still be a useful asset to keep around?
