Na that squad still needed a lot of work. We were totally uncompetitive in Europe and in reality not really close to winning leagues as evidenced by the Leicester title winning season.
Can you imagine him playing alongside Rice and Odegaard in midfield? He was absolute class. I loved watching him at the Emirates. Top tier player.
Would be the perfect player for that spot :*(
“I would play for free but you’re not allowed,” Cazorla says. “They made a good offer. My wife said: ‘No, no, you’re not going to Oviedo to earn, you’re going home to enjoy it, to help, to give.’ I called my agent: ‘I don’t want any money.’ I told the president: minimum salary, 10% of shirt sales to the academy. It was done that night.”

HIm and Rosicky… by far my favourite players in the Emirates pre-Arteta era.
Could use some of that technical quality in our team right now.
All the crocks flock to AFC
Sexy shoes?
And we should be signing the guy up to help with the youth academy the moment he hangs-up his boots and/or crocs.

Do you think it could be taking an opportunity from someone else?
Maybe, but if the manager thinks it’s best for the team and the club then who really cares? Every transfer has the potential to limit someone else’s playing time.
Let’s not forget Theo. That was one of his best performances at the club.
Happy birthday to one of the best to have played during the Emirates Era. Still believe his goal against Hull in the FA cup final was extremely underrated, goal wise and context wise for the club.
Think he’ll be part of our coaching team in a year or so should Arteta be here for the next 2-3 years.
