Conjo Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Easily better than anything we currently have in central midfield. No brainer if there's a possibility of getting him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Easily better than anything we currently have in central midfield. No brainer if there's a possibility of getting him. That's probably true, but is he not weaker in the areas that we need improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 He's a very good player TBH, gets the scapegoat treatment for Arsenal being so spineless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 A loan deal with an option to buy would be a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 We could only bring him here if Arsenal agreed to pay some of his wages. Think there'll probably be some more ambitious club who will offer him a better deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 He's a very good player TBH, gets the scapegoat treatment for Arsenal being so spineless. Personally think he’s another Alan Smith who isn’t afraid to shoot, but never fucking scores. Awful footballer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Can anyone please explain what he is good at? Don't think he's very good at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 'Awful' Aye, what’s he good at? Can’t pass, tackle, likes to shoot, but doesn’t score, fouls a lot, mentally weak and slow/one paced. Granit Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 He would clearly be our best midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 yeah i'm not sure about xhaka at all, he's spent x number of years at arsenal under good management with good players in teams that control play, he'd be another shelvey without the passing range imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I don't rate Xhaka that highly but comparing him to Alan Smith ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Not a bad player, but I'd rather see us going for an attacking midfielder. One with more mobility who has a decent burst of pace and have the ability to carry the ball. Not going to happen but I would love someone like Eze at QPR. Xhaka would probably be our best CM but I'd like someone a bit more different to what we have already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Would be a hell of an upgrade over someone like Hayden who’s probably the most comparable. Both of them together would be nice now that I think about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Passing, tackling, leadership? He has 80 caps for his country which he captains. He cost Arsenal £35~ million. He's clearly a good player who would do well at most Premier League teams. Whether a player in that position is a priority is another question.

xLiaaamx Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Centre midfield is the area we need a quality player more than anywhere else imo. We give it away there too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 honestly not sure about xhaka, but he's better atm than what we have and clearly he has something about him leadership wise in the dressing room to be captain of a reasonably good swiss team and iirc was elected captain by the arsenal squad.
