Granit Xhaka

Wonder if Arteta was considering him before snapping up Norgaard

I really hope he didn’t!

Go to Saudi, you twat.

Sound deal overall for Leverkusen.
Got a crucial player in their unbeaten season for mere 25m and recouped 20m.

€20m wtf

Leverkusen getting nearly as much for Xhaka than we sold him for is nasty.

We’ve got some players the mackems can buy for decent fees

They could bring back the glory days of the Xhaka / Lokonga axis.

A 100m package of Kiwior, Zinny and Nelson could keep them up. Can possibly even give them Jesus on loan until Jan.

In fact, make it a Xhaka, Lokonga and Fabio midfield 3

Just another unbelievable sale price, dude is coming back to a much faster league aged 33 (sept) and they’ve paid basically the same as what we got 2 years ago.

Also don’t understand he was so keen to go to Germany now moves to Sunderland?

Wow! I thought we got 20m pounds

Maybe he couldn’t stand to play alongside our Number 5 any longer and wanted a quick exit.

Major signing for the mackems

Really interesting side

He’s already achieved what he realistically could there, it’s not going to get any better than winning the league unbeaten and at nearly 33 he’s probably looking at game time over the next few years above all else.

I also wouldn’t be too concerned about his age if I was them, he was always extremely fit and he isn’t necessarily the type of player who declines as much with age. I could see him playing until 35 in the Prem easily.
