Xhaka is one of the most over rated footballers in the Arsenal fan base.
When he was 'leaving' not one decent team came in for him or showed any interest.
He is bang average at best.

Been hearing rumours we are trying to sign Buendia from Norwich.
Would we be happy with that?
I would. He has bags of talent and would be an upgrade on Willian and the epileptic efforts of Pepe. Still cannot wrap my head around the stupidity of signing Willian. Ceballos too needs dumping outside the Madrid stadium with a fast getaway car in case he tries to hop back in. He is tripe

Xhaka over-rated... we all this he is useless on this forum.This

Buendia would be a smart signing - good player in his own right, thinks fast and uses both feet, and plays both right wing and as a #10, so we'd have instant competition and cover for Saka and Smith Rowe.
I don't think he'd block the path of those two either - could play the three of them on a '2 games on, 1 game off' rota to keep them happy and well-rested, or we could play all 3 of them at the same time, e.g. if we rested Martinelli / Auba and moved Saka to the left for a game, or used Smith Rowe as an #8. Options.
I can just about understand the logic of Willian if we thought we were getting an "experienced" "role-model" to help usher in some of the kids over the next year or two, but the contract we've given him is just insane! Absolutely crazy considering the struggle we've had to offload Özil, Mkhi and the rest of the £100k+/wk club (not to mention completely tone-deaf after the wave of redundancies). And of course you've now got to ask major questions over how his performance levels were scouted given how he's turned out.
Agree about Ceballos - he's occasionally good, but mostly he's meh, he doesn't look particularly motivated and clearly doesn't see himself here beyond the end of the season, and he sounds like a bit of dick, given how many fights he's started. Not worth the effort or the minutes he's getting.

Been linked with Brandt, talented player but seems a bit fair weather. Think Buendia would be a better option.

Saliba loan to Nice confirmed, though the statement is keen to stress it's just for development

Yeah, no option to buy, which is good.
The player also sounds like he’s still keen to make it here, although there’s no direct quote on that. Whatever the problem was over the summer, hopefully we can put it behind us...
Apparently we might be offering Nelson or Willock for Buendia
i'd be happier with Willock leaving tbh still not sure he offers that much except a bit of running and the occasional shot
