Very positive impact. Most impressed by how hard he worked off the ball.

Donā€™t tell him that i think has been doing that too much as it is

#2644

I thought he looked shit tbh.

Bit sloppy in possession but great to see him back. Impacted on the game. Hopefully Arteta starts to trust him a little more often.

#2646

Wrong blonde mate.

#2647

Iā€™m not sure he did anything exceptional. The good thing is that Arteta was willing to roll the dice on him. The bad news is that it happened on a day when Vieira wasnā€™t even on the bench so itā€™s entirely possible it was a reluctant roll of the dice.

#2648

I donā€™t think Arteta rates him that much. He would most certainly have brought on Vieira before ESR, had he been available. I think ESR will remain nothing more than plan B or C for Mikel unless he shows him something special in training.

Performing in a 10 minute span is about his level. Will never be a 90 minute player sadly. His body is fuckd to bits.

Not everyone can be a starter. Iā€™m very happy with him being a sub coming on with fresh legs for the later stages in games

If heā€™s happy playing that Trossard role (being a super sub) for the rest of his career here, then Iā€™m happy to keep him. Otherwise, we should shift him on as soon as we get an offer w/decent money.

See, this is a good example of someone being a crock. Got his first league start in 2+ years and he has a knee issue.

Edit:
Christ.

Yeah this is a bloke we need to cut ties with, breaks down constantly and canā€™t last more than 70 mins even when fit. Body isnā€™t cut out for pro sport unfortunately.

Luckily we are STACKED in his position. We can only get peanuts for him in the summer tho with his injury record

people were quoting 50-60m this summerā€¦maybe we should have jumped at it.

#2657

Yeah no one is paying more than 25-30 mill for him given his durability issues.

Would be lucky to get Ā£20m for him at this rate. Heā€™s already 23 ffs.

Love the lad, but itā€™s time to part ways.

20m is still decent as we paid 0 for his weak knees.

Doesnā€™t have the body for it and certainly not the level weā€™re aspiring to reach.

Huge shame but he should always be looked on as a non-factor until he proves otherwise, for one reason or another heā€™s not making it here.
