Akinbahm:
Bro, this is a moot point sincerely and you sounds emotionally biased...

Someone who up his game during the period your old clowns failed to turn up...

Akinbahm:
I don't know what he's trying to drive out on Guendozi issue, if he can point out 5 good games Xhaka won single handedly for us and when he won Player of the month for Arsenal since Prof signed him into the team...

Jodera:
Lol... Who upped his game? Guen? This season or when? Come on bro?

Jodera:
I don't quite get this. Maybe you can rephrase it

Akinbahm:
Xhaka kokane has been packaging all this while he should highlight five matches he has bailed us out with his individual brilliance...

Akinbahm:
up I mean there's someone who plays with agility nd fearless of oppositions without exception.

Jodera:
lol... I guess you're talking about pashun("passion" as they call it).

With all the attributes you mentioned, we saw how our team was getting decimated wen he was a regular 11 unlike now. With all his pashun, he hardly gives key passes, he slows down attack and draws fouls unnecessarily, thereby allowing opposition team to regroup, he's always out of position which mostly affects the team structure.

He's best as squad player presently, and arsenal ought not to have such a player as first team, wen he's not fabregas

Except someone matches every dime we are paying Ozil on his current contract, Baba, is not going anywhere. He is not bothered about not playing a whole season next year as long as he is getting his raba.

Just look at the way they are criticising Jerry curls, this is something I have been doing since last season but was tagged ' hater'
As for xhaka, that one is anywhere belle face he cant move ball forward. If a player pass the ball to him he returns the pass at that same spot without moving forward

Spy360:
I believe strongly Ozil will leave. Not sure of Guen. He may just apologize. I am sure Kokaneprodigy wouldn't want it.

Akinbahm:
So, Xhaka is tantamount to be included among Robust bench. In all honesty our Midfield start to regress when Ozil and Xhaka set in unless you want to hide away from the truth.

kokaneprodigy:
Look if u have better ideas state it, don’t stop at just antagonising.
My inputs are based on situation on ground which include funds and how I’ve seen some of these guys play. I’m being realistic here knowing how limited we are when it comes to spending and how inflated the market is today.

Realistically how many ‘A’ class midfielders can we get in one window. What I’m saying is we should go all out to get a 10 and a solid DM that can both walk into our starting line up which won’t come cheap. Ceb has the potential to rotate a number 10 position with the new guy if need be and the DM too. Torreira can partner the new DM while we retain Xhaka as a squad player.

There are lots of games to play, EFL, EPL, FA cup and the possibility of Europe, fatigue and injury will happen. Xhaka is not the best out there but times have shown that with right partnership he pulls his weight.

Just take a look at city’s bench.

kokaneprodigy:
I have nothing against Guen staying if it will make good business sense and if he’s ready to learn. I trust Arteta not to be as foolish as starting him the way Emery did when we had better options. I was only against the undue privilege he had under Emery despite poor run of results.

Though I must say with what I’ve seen so far at 21 he doesn’t look like someone with a upside.

kokaneprodigy:
Reason I said squad player and this choice is not about my love for Xhaka I’ve once advocated for his sale here but we just have to be realistic. I don’t know why Akinbahm is trying to make it a Guen argument which I’m done with.

If we are to go by the players y’all want out how many would be left and how much can we spend to replace them with better players in one window.
You want Mustafi,Ozil,Laca,Xhaka,Guen,Luiz, Torreira all out in one window?

Akinbahm:
I'm not of the opinion of letting mustafi go cause currently our defence is not as poor as media painted it. Our midfield need overhaul nd we can't let go of all of them at once cause it will affect the rhythm of the team...

Lacazette in exchange of Partey is a nice deal.

Grealish is an Epl experienced (it might be another) if Chelsea can't tie Willian down with a new contract I wouldn't mind we utilizing it to get him with a year contract to compete with Pepe cause Nelson is not ready to me...

Saka also need someone to groom him at his position cause I hate seeing Auba operating from the flank.

In summary, we need 2 good signing; a good DM nd a mobile 10 to displace Ozil and probably a Winger who could play both right nd left to compete with Saka nd Pepe...

Akinbahm:
Pep was ruthless with the players he met nd shipped them out nd get the ones that suit his playing style.

Klopp wasn't afraid to let go of his star players but make sure another potential signings was made with the funds realised from the sales...

My point is why cant we do d same by letting not good enough out nd bring 2/3 in nd manage till next window. There are better players out there with cheap amount it's not necessary we go for media hype that would end up with side ways pass, cut & cut, dancing nd many more...

Spy360:
Which fans on this thread would you like us to sell this transfer?

For me, sell Sod09 first.

Spy360:
Make we kukuma sell Arsenal FC this transfer window. Sell sell sell everywhere. But if na your property you will not sell like that o.

kokaneprodigy:
I’ll give u to the scummies for free.

kokaneprodigy:
Reason is we sold a lot during Emery and bought less in terms of numbers and quality.

As it stands we are lean on player hence we need to do some retention. I don’t think we can afford to buy better quality in replacement of all those we want out. To accomplish such is to budget like 200M which I doubt this club will fork out.

iamoyindamola:
Smith rowe can play 10 what the boy need is physique and stamina

Akinbahm:
Guendozi starting ahead of Xhaka back then shows ow he's not good enough for Arsenal standard and even comparing him to Xhaka shows sth is seriously wrong in that midfield...

Bro, sentiments apart is Xhaka a player we can rely on in that midfield to achieve our aim of competing for the league?

In all honesty Xhaka seems to be the one who does this most slowing the attack he's only good with his long range pass and shot nd latter has been minimal for a while so tell me aside those two I listed what's he good at? Slow in making decision, cannot beat his nearest man, cant move ball except side ways pass in this modern day football...

I watched Madrid match tonight Kross at age 30 did sth tonight if it was Xhaka in that position I'm sure he will drop a panick pass to Martinez which could lead to a goal.

What I'm saying is lets face reality and stop worshipping mediocrity...

Jodera:
I think you're getting me wrong. I did not say xhaka is what we need to become competitive again, but as a squad player. Both xhaka and guen are good as sub players, and in terms of who's better between the two, then it's clearly xhaka.
Guen seeing first team shirt is due to sentiment not because he's good.
Most people here acknowledged that
