Granit Xhaka (official)

[Marc Overmars]

Not being funny but he looks under virtually no pressure in most of the clips......I do find it interesting that because of the price tag, we are kind of taking it as read that he is any good and many seem to have formed a strong opinion already when he has something of a modest reputation.

To be honest I don't know much about him (I don't think many of us do) but if Wenger of all managers is prepared to spend £30m on a player, you have to assume he's got something about him. I don't see him parting with this kind of cash on any old flavour of the month player.

I read some comparisons with Schweinsteiger and Alonso which is encouraging at least, god knows we've needed a proper CM for years.
