Keep saying it but this is the worst ever MF at arsenal in my life time
Torreira is not good enough. Not as a DM and not as an advanced player
Guendouzi should be a squad player
Xhaka a squad player
Willock should be with the under 23s
What do these players give us? No defence, no pace, no mobility and NO goals or assist
Forget the defence, this diabolical midfield needs a complete overall
Heavy investment required In Mf

Yes it's mismanaged but the quality is very poor

There are championship sides better than Arsenal atm, Leicester have proved that you can change fortunes relatively quickly, heck my side Leeds were transformed by Bielsa in 3 months.
Arsenal have a gem of a striker in Auba, its just the other 10 are pretty average.

That's absolute nonsense there are good players there who are all internationals, the manager is a lame duck who hasn't got a clue end of.

Emery did win the Europa 3 or 4 times didn't he? Perhaps he just need some good additions to the team?

Santi has done so well that he is back in the Spain squad
Imagine the difference a Santi would have made to this shower of sheet team.

Yes well unfortunately we had to let him go to afford Ozil's wages. If you guys had made half as much fuss for us to keep Santi as you did fuss for us to pay Ozil then now we'd have Santi and some money to buy another player with.
Buuut no. You all only gave a damn about Ozil because a whole stack of you never could understand that Cazorla is/was the biggest reason Ozil looked so good that first season. So let that be a lesson to you all, next time a player wants 5 times what his performances were worth, to sign on the dotted line. And next time just let the club tell him to feck off.
Exactly as we should have done Ozil. He's cost us both Cazorla and Ramsey. And for what? Him to disappear in 80% of the games he's in (though not today funnily enough).

Santi was one of the best midfield player in the EPL dictating play from deep. He cut defences open with his quick passes.

To be far no one thought cazorla would ever recover from injury.
He would have, even at his age, dominated most midfields

Cazorla nearly lost his foot due to the horrific misdiagnosis and poor treatment. I don't think anyone could've predicted he'd ever reach a decent level again.
The club have made a lot of bad calls but sometimes the correct/most rational decision at the time still turns out wrong - I can't fault them for letting Cazorla go despite how much I liked the bloke

Unbelievable. I thought he'd never play again, and now he's doing better than anyone in our squad.

Completely agree. You can't blame the club
If cazorla was playing in this line up, we wouldn't have seen players like Guendouzi starting every game, Willock playing more games than he should.
We also would much higher up the table

I would really look at selling Torreira if it means we can bring in a top quality midfielder.
Between Torreira and Xhaka we should be able to generate up to £50M
