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...
Guest Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 He would clearly be our best midfielder. Think the system we play would be more to his strengths too. 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...

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. His leadership is massively in question. He's got ability but he's thick as fuck. 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.

Raconteur Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 If we're playing two centre midfielders, I really don't want Xhaka to be one of them. Plus huge wages, plus five-six centre midfielders on the books already. Can't see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Sean Longstaff’s had about 3 good games this season, Matty is raw, Shelvey unreliable and Hayden limited. We need better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 If we are sticking with a target man who is better at bringing people into the game than scoring, then we really could use a midfielder who gets in the box and has an eye for goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
