Closest player to Xavi stylewise. His pass accuracy, style and everything about him is remarkably similar. Though obviously a gulf in quality.
Follow, follow, follow....
He has a great attitude aswell, selfless team player, i always appreciate him. One of the best buys of the season, he's class.
Woah. He's an average PL player.
Brilliant player and glad that Wenger bought him in the last minute.
Great signing. Can't understand why you would pay 40 million for someone like Modric, when the 10 million pound Arteta is just as reliable and accurate in terms of ball retention, better defensively and more of a goal threat as well. I thought 10 million was a bit too much with his age and injury record, now it seems like a bargain.
Hasn't done enough of what he did today for me.
Has limitations, and there have been times when we needed more from him and he hasn't in him to deliver.
Good stop gap though.

You're only saying that because he's above the age of 20
He has been good for us. Just need a bit more to take us forward.
"Woah. He's an average PL player."
He's much more than that. For a start, he would get into your midfield.
Where was he when we played you at the Emirates?
We were the better team at the Emirates.
And he would get in our midfield ahead of who?
You were the better team at the Emirates?

He didn't even play you plank

He was injured
All I asked was "where was he"?
I never insinuated he played
And we completely outplayed you at the Emirates.
Plus we are 18 points ahead of you.
So somehow him being injured when we played you makes him average?
Both teams had spells of domination, although I agree that on balance United deserved that win.
Errrrrrm. We dominated the WHOLE first half. The first and last 15 of the 2nd half.

We had less yellow cards than you, we had 2, you had 5. Which insinuates you were chasing the ball a lot.
We had more possession than you.
We had 5 corners, you had zero.
We had twice as many shots on target.
You committed almost 3x as many fouls as us.
We were caught offside 4 times to your zero.
Oh, and we won.
You were the better team at the Emirates?
================================
Yup, I was there and we should have won.
Seeing as utd "dominated the WHOLE first half. The first and last 15 of the 2nd half" how come we have more shots? A couple of percent more possession means nothing and you know it!
