I agree with Castor in his earlier comment below regarding Xhaka. As we know per Romano recent tweet:
“Arsenal are offering Granit Xhaka a new deal until June 2025 with an increased salary - more than what AS Roma are proposing in their contract bid. ⚪️🔴 #AFC
AS Roma last bid was €12m + €3m add ons, turned down. Arsenal are now confident to extend Xhaka contract soon."
So in my opinion, Xhaka should be offered new contract and stay if we can’t get decent amount for him from Roma after all he cost us £37m and is a Swiss international. I do like Xhaka and even though he can sometimes frustrate us, it’s premature and unfair to single him out for criticism.
Xhaka is very important squad member and can do just as decent job as any other midfielder all we have to do is play him in some away games if that helps his confidence since we aren’t in Europe this season.
Let me be frank, I am sick and tired of racism, jealousy, Islamaphobic and hatred directed towards Xhaka or any of our players. I think majority of our fans feel the same way. We should support the team and stop castigating our players like United fans are currently doing to Pogba.
Xhaka very important squad member

Honestly would rather we spend nothing this Summer. I do not trust titler and Edu to spend it wisely at all. The decisions they’ve made have been nothing short of bizarre.
Offering new contracts to Xhaka, Mustafi and Eddie
Keeping Elneny
Spending £50m on White and binning Saliba
Keeping Ozil for the 1st half of the season when he had been banished
Signing Willian
Ostracising the likes of AMN, Martinelli, Nelson, Gwen
Signing Runar
Selling Emi (and soon to replace him with the worst keeper in the PL)
Twerking for Tammy Abraham when we have Balogun
Signing Cedric on a 4 year contract and not playing him
All these crazy decisions in just 18 months and there’s probably plenty more I’ve forgotten. Letting these clowns waste any more money is just going to make it even tougher for the next regime to dig is out of this rut

Yes agreed. It's scary how much money the current regime are wasting, whoever takes over next will have so much dross on impossible to shift wages along with a very limited budget
What's funny is exactly the same thing has repeated itself and each manager just digs the hole even deeper

I wonder how many posters on here are real Arsenal fans or even real football fans. I have to assume most are teenagers who follow the crowd,and once a player has been 'chosen' they all line up to show that they hate said player more than anyone else,and if anyone dares to point out the good side of said player they get the hate as well. SO! I like Xhaka,he gives his all for our club and when managed correctly can be superb. Now,children,unleash your feeble hatred on me,and watch as I look down on you all and laugh. Pathetic worms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ive been an Arsenal fan for over 40 years. Fans like you who just call anyone who disagrees with them teenagers and pathetic are a vile stain on our club. I dont think Xhaka is good enough and he never has been. I said in 2016/17 that we would end up mid-table and never get back in top 4 unless we upgrade on him and here we are, mid-table for 2 years running.
Fans like you are toxic and cant accept other viewpoints. And your comment that clearly shows you cant accept that people who have a different opinion to you may have valid opinions shows a level of arrogance comparable to what a lot of fans think Xhaka has.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And you just proved my point for me. Well done! To recap, I think a good argument on players etc is great fun,good banter. When it turns to hatred such as you just showed for fellow fans,it crosses a line. The world seems to be going down the pan right now,everyone is angry beyond any need and people like you do not help. We can all have an opinion on the merits of a player,he can be brilliant or terrible. But hatred and then hatred for any fellow fans who disagree? Give your head a wobble mate,and chill out.

Wonky I think you misunderstood what Tyke was trying to say. Seems reasonable to be allowed to hold a different view from another fan and not expect to be abused by fellow fans. I’m pretty sure he was NOT saying that those who want Xhaka out are immature children but instead that those who abuse people who disagree with their own viewpoint ARE, regardless of whether that’s about Xhaka or anything else

Tyke the massive hypocrite name calling Arsenal fans and then starts crying when he gets it back. He is as toxic a fan as you can get

If thats what he meant he needs to learn to write better. All he has done, and I have reread it, is throw insults at people who dont like Xhaka.

Exactly this. You put it better than my clumsy attempt! Opinions on players are fine,it's the cray hate that is way over the top. I am glad to see that this post has (mostly) been a good debate,there is hope yet!

Tyke was Ozil's number 1 fan and defender too so that tells you all you need to know.
