    even though there was a nobody around him, still a somewhat impressive finish by a kid when you're 100% expected the score but still need to compose yourself and beat the keeper.

    Best effort I've seen from an Arsenal team in some time, just need to quit being so stupid and find better passing combinations in the final 3rd.

    Clearly something that’s extremely important, I believe this is the first match that Mikel wore an Arsenal branded jacket on the touch line.

    So do we seriously consider Xhaka as a CB moving forward just to keep Mustafi off the field?

    I can’t see him willingly playing there long-term... also, him flopping face first into an attacking player, like he’d just been sniped, & completely missing the player and ball is one of the funniest things I’ve scene on pitch. That’s saying a lot when he’s playing with Mustafi

    Surely Holding is almost ready.....

    He basically is a CB when we have the ball in the 3-2-5

    I understand letting Ceballos go back as it's clear the loan didn't work out, but Arsenal could have a major issue in the midfield in the second half with any kind of injury to Torreira or Xhaka. you basically have 5 guys for 3 spots. 6 if you count AMN. with EPL, Europa and hopefully FA cup games to be played, that could be stretched really thin. I don't really think there's someone in the academy that is ready to step in either. if you let Dani go, you have to bring in another body.

    I don’t know that the loan was a failure per se, while healthy he was under the direction of Emery and with minimal to mixed direction. And I don’t disagree with you in regards to depth, just wondering how it fell apart? I know Dani said Emery was big reason he came here, which is fine, but Mikel is also Spanish. So you’d assume there’s that same comfort level having that connection. Makes me wonder if Dani has a shit attitude or are we happy with the youngsters who could potentially slot in a they don’t want to take time from them?

    my guess is Arteta is already thinking about next season and isn't worried about a player who isn't going to be here.

    I was thinking that as well, valid point for sure.

    Edit, looked it up, Unai and Mikel are both from Basque country. Dani is not. Maybe Mikel is more right wing?

    Yeah agreed, which means there is not any reasonable buyout on the deal so they cut ties.

    If Barcelona comes back with an offer which gets our fee back for Auba, sell and start Martinelli at LW for the rest of the year. Use Saka at LW as cover. This campaign is a waste and should be about establishing a foundation for next season.

    Barca want him on loan, the whole thing is a joke.

    Auba has 2-3 years left, keep him
