An above avg player on most days and passenger the rest.. not arsenal class if you think we are a top team in Europe. A world class player when you look realistically at our team as it is- a mid-table to a decent team.
He's not a battling ball winner or playing a creative role. I can't see the point of playing him so deep. He can't cover the ground against teams that pass well.
This. We need people like Arteta in the team/squad. After he (and others) came on board the team got more grit and we settled to a much better and successful team. We don't need every position to be filled with a world class top performer - it is more important to have some experienced players to keep things steady and guide/lead the new and young players. I think Arteta fills that role.
He's been a great signing.
I'll simply say this, I thought he would be better.
I personally think he's an average player. He does all the easy stuff well but he isn't mobile enough for me.
He's not a weak link or anything like that but he's pretty much falls into the he can be "upgraded" category, he's not the only one, there are plenty of em in the team!
