We can see why Wenger snatched the player so fast..He is real quality. Xhaka will be the next Alonso with tackles as good as any midfielders

Thought Xhaka was good last week and anyone who said he was chit against Liverpool after coming off the bench with the team losing 4-1 needs a slap.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this is what I don't get
also there have been loads of articles this week saying that he doesn't improve our team.

xhaka reminds me a lot of roy keane. knits it together and has a sense of danger.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And capable of the 2 footed lunge.

yep that vicious volatile 'controlled' madness.

We really had to move to get Xhaka before Bayern did. They were keen to buy him next year but secure him now (as they do with everyone)

has Xhaka got a yellow card yet?

Pogba is not even top 3 in this league as he has done fark all. Can you guys just enjoy your good performance
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So if Messi signed tomorrow he wouldn't be the best?

Weird view.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No he would not. Is like saying when Kaka signed for madrid he was top 3. We all know what happened then. What a weird and stupid view to think a player will replicate their form from one league to another. The most competitive league mind.

Yeah, he was lined up to replace Alonso...Fortunately, Wenegr jumped in QUICK!!!! How many times does that happen.

this

A lot of backtracking from our teenage fan base.So many articles saying we didnt need to buy him.

anyway lets consign that to history.What is important is for our best players (ozil, sanchez) to feel we are building something.we will look better after the international break.

guess Theo is staying then

Xhaka and Alonso comparison are very apt. Haven't had a player like this since Cesc

next season Xhaka's buy out clause was going to be 20 million euros so bayern waited as they have done for the likes of Lewy but Wenger for once felt he was worth paying over the odds for

Let's score a few more goals please.

I didn't think it was a man utd 5 aside team, I thought it was a pick from every team

Don't understand why everyone is so quick to slate a player after a few bad games. Especially a new signing.

Xhaka looked good to me even when he wasn't fit and let's be honest he is still adjusting to the league.

Anyone else getting bored of every commentator discussing his poor disciplinary record last season?

Xhaka is perfect Arsenal midfielder..Alonso esque who enjoys physical side of the game. Made for Arsenal and Prem.

posted on 27/8/16

Exactly. We've signed a top player. Anyone who could see our issues last season could see the hole he would fill. He will massively improve our transition speed and that's so important.

Thats why he was cheap. Teams waited to get him on the cheap next year and got more from us this season. On the normal market this summer he would probably have cost more if teams werent waiting, so may still be vlassed as a bargain.

It is my poor memory or where there many games we got overrun in midfield because of our injuries ?
so how was Xhaka a signing not needed?

posted on 27/8/16

To be fair to fans they were just desperate for a striker.

That was partly why we got Elneny in January. A steiker has veen our biggest priority imo for at least 3 years.

Kaka was mostly injured or played well

Just let me get this right, Messi is best player in world. Arsenal sign him and he's not the best player in the league, never mind the world?
