    It's true about Ox, I'm just speculating about Xhaka.

    Edit: Just checked my facts. It was £10,000 and they had to pay Southampton £200,000 in all one year and £180,000 the year before.

    Mkhitaryan, Sane and even Slimani have hardly had a kick since the start of the season. Some players adapt more easily than others.

    It's cool man, I wasn't laughing at you, just laughing at the fact that it is a really "Arsenal" thing to do.

    Sane is 18 and is going to find it hard to get an automatic first team place at City

    Slimani was bought on transfer deadline day and started against Clubbe Brugge

When he came on at 70 mins and there was a chunk of added time, we had to pay Southampton. I can't see the point of those clauses, either you buy the player or you don't, could have ruined Ox's game as he didn't get enough playing time. Now he doesn't now whether he's coming or going half the time.
    It's possible but I thought our cheapskate days were over. Especially if we're paying £35m for the guy. Who knows. The Ox situation was ridiculous.

    I just find it strange that he's not playing. I haven't seen all the games, how has he done when he's played?

    First two games.....not great

    Against Watford was excellent, when he came on against PSG we looked more authoritative middle of the park.

    Sane is 20 and played over 40 games last season. He wasn't cheap and his age isn't going to be a factor with Pep.

    Slimani has played less than Xhaka.

    Don't be so stupid, that would take up a lot of time making it difficult for us to operate effectively in the transfer market.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    Yeah, as Herb has said, he's had a slow start but looked to be getting better. It's a strange one because he's had a preseason with us and the only way for him to adjust is to get games. As said, Wenger was OK with playing Holding straight away, Mustafi and Perez started straight away and if Perez starts this weekend but Xhaka doesn't, something is up.
