*BREAKING NEWS*
SSN 'understands' that the proposed deal to take Mesut Ozil from Arsenal to Fenerbahce has collapsed at the last minute, with any transfer now being unlikely. Mikel Arteta has said the player will now be integrated into the Arsenal U23s squad, as they prepare to face Borehamwood this Thursday lunchtime.

You know what I love most about that, apart from the pass and Auba's run and shot?
Saka's run, and how just before he reaches the halfway line he sees Auba control it and you can almost hear him think 'IT'S ON!' as he puts his head down and charges forward.
Facking love that lad.

LOL Literally was thinking that yesterday watching a replay of the goal. Both Saka and ESR smell blood and leg it up field. Saka near goalmouth and ESR for the pull back.
Makes a change from Willian running backwards

Don't think it is, tbh. Ains had a shocker in his last game. Needs to man up, dust himself down and raise up to the challenge.
There's a good chance Bellerin will be heading off in the summer, and it's a fight between him and Cedric on who is likely to fill that role. Ains has had some very decent performances as wing-back, but I can't remember the last good performance he's had as a full-back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He barely plays as a RB anymore. His best performance there came against Utd at the Emirates, we won 2-0.
Even though his passing was shocking against palace, he was still in charge of that left hand side. Still made good forward runs and i don't remember him being beaten defensively.
If he had been given a run of games at RB, he'd grow into the position and become no.1 there. But I don't think he wants it and arteta can see that. If he wants to be a CM for a workhorse side then I wish him all the best.
I never understood the loyalty argument with Ozil.
Nobody facking wanted him. He leveraged the Alexis situation to get 350k a facking week. His form fell off a facking cliff the minute he signed that deal. His fanboys are the worst.

Pete has changed his name again
I'm done with Pepe. Guy clearly has no shame that a kid playing out if position is doing better than him. Comes on and looks like he still doesn't give a shiiiit.
Is Saka playing out of position though?
Looks pretty great playing on the right to me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You say that, but that first Auba goal is simply a result of top class CM shifting the ball quick and a fast winger/forward running onto it with space.
Pepe either gets the ball to feet or simply hasn't had the service to feed the ball in the space ahead of him.
I don't think Pepe has played with Partey either.

Dafuq is wrong with giving a player a chance? We spent £72m on him, and we can't afford him to fail.
Peeps here are forgetting that Auba was on as bad, if not worse, form than Pepe. But add a few key players in critical positions and the players around them start clicking.
Would love to see Pepe with Partey, ESR and Gabi/Saka
The problem with Pepe is he doesn't seem to have the tactical understanding of the game. He never really makes runs into space and doesn't try to move the ball fast when he receives it. He's being played as a 'hug the touchline' type of winger and, if that's how Arteta will use him, he's gonna be as much use as Peeb's willy.
Even when he has played, he's just losing the ball, tripping over his own feet and getting tackled easily. Seems like his confidence is shot.
Right now, we can't afford passengers in the side.
Think we'll just have to hold our hands up and accept it hasn't worked out.

Saka has played all but one game there without partey and done very well.
If saka gets injured and Pepe comes in and does well, fine. But I don't see how he gets any other chances there.
Saka is on the way to becoming a generational talent for England. Let's not compare him with Pepe.
My point is, let's explore all options before writing off £72m. At least get Pepe to some respectful level before selling, because at the moment literally no one would want him for free, let alone get anywhere near the price we paid for him.
