Yeah no way Hertha will pay anything close to €35m. I’m expecting a loan with an option to buy in the summer.

Guen has shocking positional sense defensively, I find it hard to allow him a run at DM with that being the case, irrespective of his passing and ball progression.

Yeah for sure, but he’s young and it’s the job of a manager to teach this. We’ll see if he’s just stupid and hopeless like Wilshere in this sense but I’d like to think he isn’t

Even if we lose like 20m on Xhaka it’s worth it to get rid of him because obviously the shittiest midfielder we have will be gone and he wont be fucking up our matches anymoreut. More importantly tho maybe we’ll move Torreira into that spot in midfield and we will have to invest in another midfielder who is actually a b2b.
He isn’t though, out of the DMs/CMs we have he is the best passer we have. In theory he is the player Arteta should improve the most. Xhaka with Artetas brain would be our best DM/CM. So we should want Arteta to coach Xhaka
So they want him for free?

No, of course not.
We’d have to pay them.

Meh, Guendouzi is on equal footing as far as passing the ball. Xhaka’s passing isn’t that great to me bar the one or two balls he pings 40 yards across field per match, which as I said, Guen has had a propensity to accomplish on a similar level.
Arteta may be good but there’s nobody that’s going to be able to coach Xhaka up to be a good player in the PL. He’s already facing a deficit of both brains and athleticism. If Arteta could improve him he’d still be mediocre as fuck and not a player we should be looking to keep if we ever want to be at a competitive level again as a football club. We can do so much better, new blood needed in the midfield as it’s been our absolute biggest problem mostly down to this fuck face.

In theory he’s been the player every manager should have improved more than any other midfielder, yet here we are.
Need to get him the fuck out of our club ASAP. Not just with regards to ability but also attitude. The guy is a fucking cancer, and also fucking shit at football.
I genuinely can’t believe that there are any Arsenal fans with anything even remotely positive to say about this guy. Hard to remember a clearer case of a player needing to leave for every possible reason more than this guy.
Ship him back off to Germany at any price and draw a line under it.
Absolutely delighted to hear these Hertha reports, I’d sacrifice Jesus for a second time if it seals that deal.

Oh yeah thanks for pointing that out @Jakeyboy. If he was just a shit footballer I’d be a lot more sympathetic to the situation, but the guy is not only shit at football but he’s also a self absorbed egotistical shit head.
Ship him to Bundesliga 2, we are nice enough to so that.
Should never ever be the captain in the beginning.

Looking forward to the headlines “New Hertha Midfield Ace Xhaka BLASTS Former Club” while Hertha sink into relegation. I didn’t really have a German team to root against before now but you can better believe I’ll be hatewatching Hertha when the league restarts.

Couldn’t agree more.
Only creative midfielder with an engine we have.
He’ll make a plenty of mistakes, but I love watching a player gallop forward with the ball.
Ceballos, Guendouzi and Torreira in midfield should see us improve.
But if it’s true people said Wenger didn’t coach players actively enough and Emery was just incompetant then there is perhaps room to improve him tactically or use him better. I don’t really like Xhaka’s attitude. But I do think we need to make the best use of our assets.
As for sacrificing Jesus again, I do think that’s in the book as a clear substitute for human sacrifice. That’s why there’s the drinking of his blood and eating his flesh. It’s a pagan ritual.
What a waste of energy.
Personally, I hope he smashes it.

Would you like Partey to replace Xhaka?
- Do you even have to ask?
- No, I’d prefer we signed someone else …
- Sell Xhaka, someone in our current squad can replace him

I don’t even want this thread moved to former Gunners.
I actually dislike this clown more than I dislike a lot of players who left us over the last decade ago in far worse circumstances.

If we dont sign a replacement in January than again I dont understand what the point of making the sell is.
