Lazio is his level. A glorified Elneny with a stinking attitude.

Why? It would be worse than what we got right now.
This guy was mediocre.

Yea he wasn’t great at all. Our midfield is great right now.

Good player, but for where we want to get to, he’s at least a level below Rice and Odegaard - maybe two.
It’s his fault he isn’t and it’s clear now he isn’t good enough for Arsenal. Glad we got rid of the brat when we did. He wouldn’t fit in with the rest of the squad and would disrupt the cohesiveness of the team.

Not even good enough for our bench.

I’d say 3-4 levels, we’re in the good times now and people are forgetting our terrible the midfield was then, we dominated very few matches and the ones that we did there was fuck-ups in waiting.
@sevchenko remember the slogan? ‘GUT THE SQUAD’ thank the lord we did.

He’s on loan there, they can simply not make the move permanent.
He’s had a great season and Lazio fans seem to have warmed up to him.
There are rumours that Igor(who apparently fell out with him at Marseille) won’t want to make the move permanent but he has been using him since arriving.
I think it’s more plausible that Lazio don’t make the move permanent because of financial reasons more than anything.
Been a bit of disaster this season for them. Losing SMS last year, now Luis Alberto plans to leave too.
Lazio have either already bought out his loan or they intend to.
He’s shit. Such a bang average player and a key part of their midfield just being crap this season.

I think in that case he isn’t leaving Lazio then. 
I’m embarrassed to admit I have a kit with his name on, because I thought he was going to be excellent 
Ah, so you’re the one that bought the one and only replica shirt!
Somewhere @Midfield_Maestro is editing out all 100-130m price quotations.

He is a big lesson to me in terms of evaluating young players in bad teams. In hindsight he stood out because he just ran a lot when we were playing really poorly. I thought there’d be more to his game or at least ways he could develop but I was very wrong about him.

Thing is he was a true and real talent at that age. Did he take advantage of this and continued to develop? No, not really. Some players just peak early and remain stagnant. I doubt he had the right mindset to ever take the next step.

He would have been under Arteta if he didn’t act like a spoiled brat. Hard to forsee that
