As for me, I don't think I can be. excited to watch even the fan favorites in Saka,ESR and Martinelli. |

Jodera: True sha. All what you said here is facts And the sad thing is Arsenal wouldn't have spent much, the Ben Whyte's £50+ the Willock fee would have landed a top class AM. Draxler is free, Swap or loan Countimho in, bring back Torreira, Guen, Saliba and Mavro. Even me will trust the process. 3 Likes |

Jodera: Torreira don't want to stay. Partey is still unavailable. Nothing wey dat attack fit do even if we sign dem with unmotivated torreira and unavailable partey. Maddison go still losss for match and the front go disappear. Arterta made it so for Torreira, he was playing Elneny,Willock and Xhaka ahead of him, He was injured for a long time and Artrta relegated him to the bench, and that affected his game.. I haven't forgotten how Torreira under Emery was already a hero being praised and sang for at the Emirates. A good coach would have wooed him to his side, Arterta to me made him lose his MIMD here( Arterta is either bad at or lack the man management skill) Partey will come back and with a good midfielders around him, his work load will reduce and he sure will perform better. I have seen Madison and Fekir at the AM singlehandedly destroy opposition with their movement,take one, killer passes, winning fouls and beautiful curlings and shots. With A Coutinho/Draxler at the LW, opposition will still feel the heat. Yes Arsenal wouldn't go unbeaten with those players, but I'm sure they are massive upgrades who won't start the season with Zero goals, points and embarssing results. 1 Like |

For rival fans to rate small Guendozi ahead of bloody Xhaka in 2017/2018 is an eye opener to see how declined that midfield has became. Guendozi already registered an Assist on his debut at Marseille, he has Payet alongside him. A reasonable coach would have retiained Torreira, Imagine Partey and Torreira sitting at the base with Lokonga and Guen coming off the bench, the splash money on either of Madison and Fekir. I would even take Draxler for free, or swap Auba with Coutinho. Imagine a team of Partey Torreira Maddison Pepe Draxler/Countiho Laca/Martinelli This can't get worse and we wouldn't have spent much. But Arterta and Arsenal management have bad taste, to worse it, some fans believe and trust their trash. 7 Likes |

pamcode: where is torrreira now sef? I thought the guy balled in his first season. We have to ask Arterta o, Torreira just needed a strong Partey beside him and see how they both will balance the midfield.. They both can defend,attack and are mobile. With lokonga and Guen coming off the bench. Those pair just need a Madison/Fekir/ESR upfront. But Arterta came and destroy everything by preferring Xhaka over them all. 1 Like |

@fkhalifah come and see your players... ![cool](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cool.png) Below is a fan's quote on Xhaka few years ago. [b]For me, the main reason everything went downhill was when we brought in Xhaka. This was the moment we started to lose more games, lose CL spots etc. Not because he is so bad, but because he totally doesn’t fit our philosophy. At first, the biggest mistake Wenger made was playing him as a defensive mid. When we had Coquelin als a defensive mid, with Santi as a linking player we used to dominate most teams, played beautiful, attacking football with short passes. When we lost Santi to injury, we played Xhaka as a defensive mid and played Coq in a more offensive role, sort of a box-to-box role. We then made the mistake of letting our only real defensive mid leave. Now with Torreira, we finally have a defensive mid back. All we have to do now is to replace Xhaka. IMO the linking player is the most important position in a dominating, attacking playstyle. The problem with Xhaka is, he isn’t suited to a short passing style. He is too slow and his strength is to play longer passes, not short passes. That’s why I think we really should do everything we can do sell Xhaka[/b] |

I went back to arsenal archives to see how arteta was compared to xhaka...
....guess what, they were basically the same player only that arteta was surrounded with high technical players like carzola and rosicky meanwhile xhaka is surrounded with young kids with little experience and experience players that are not good at all. You is just speaking what I've always had in my mind. ![cool](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cool.png) |

kodded: the biggest culprits in our midfield is Granit Xhaka. His speed means that he is a liability when defending counter attack. His frequent back passess means we can't kill any team in counter attack. He has zero presence in the midfield, which means his midfield partner will be doing all the work in the midfield against 3 to 5 opposition players in that midfield.
No wonder partey keep getting injured everytime, partey will be doing all the work while xhaka will do notting all match. Same thing happened today, lokonja was the only arsenal player that ran the midfield meanwhile his partner was no where to be found
No wonder wenger struggled to qualify for top4 as soon as xhaka came to the team This here summarizes it all. When you have Xhaka in the heart of your team, then forget flowing football. Virtually, everyone who plays alongside him does all the runnings and works, his is just to sit, stroll, spray long passes and long range shots. |

Two players I see as dark horses on our roster that can offer us better than we have if they change their mindset.
AMN: He believes he is a midfielder and does not want to be used as a RB. At this time and based on what we have seen, he is a better option in comparison to Chambers and Bellerin.
Torreira: I am a firm believer in Torreira's ability under the right coaching and system. If he puts his mind to it, Torreira can fight for a place in that midfield and boy would he be a combination with T. Partey! Sadly, he has struggled to adapt and shouldn't have left Italy in the first place. He desperately wants to leave England. AMN is better than Chambers at RB, maybe Bellerin also. I've always wanted Torriera- Partey in midfield with Guen coming off the bench. But Youth coper Khadiri knows best. |

Jodera: Lol, but according to that lineup, Spy specifically says "if there's no more signings" na. ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png)
As for Pepe, he hasn't impressed me, nor given me hint of impressing me sef. More so, Saka is 19, there are many 19 yr olds firmly holding first team shirt and they didn't become mediocre. The mistake arsenal will do is building the team around him at such a young age, but there's absolutely nothing wrong for Saka to have that LW on a lockdown due to his age. Let Pepe get his own first team by merit and not through age factor I just assumed Coutinho comes ni, I don't want ESR on the flanks. As for Pepe, I'm still interested in what he can do if surrounded with quality players upfront, yes, he may not be world class and inconsistent, but I will still as a coach not relegate him on the bench. I'm also not relegating Saka to the bench for his age or something. Rather to still ease it for him. |

That guy is a good set piece taker, good dribbler and can shoot really well; especially those R2-whining-shots.
If Smith-Rowe learning is the focus of getting AM/ 10, then Maddison should be the one to be signed. The only metric Bernardo Silva is at par with Maddison is dribbling. Madison explained in details! Those curling R2 shots. For me, He is world class and would be explosive for Leicester this year again. I only fear his injuries and physical look. |
