However, it all depends on whether our owner will support him.
The 2nd part of the season Arteta will look at the players who will execute his plan and decide who deserves a chance in his project. Mesut Ozil could be a different player under Arteta as we saw against Bournemouth. Smith Rowe must watch Ozil closely because I see him as his long term replacement.
Is every Arsenal fan also happy Xhaka joining Hertha Berlin? Because his best game in Arsenal shirt has been against Bournemouth for quite a while. In my opinion, an agile versatile midfielder if we could sign, then we must consider in selling him.
I am sure Arteta has list of players he wants to take Arsenal forward. He has a project for a long term and we must be patient until he gets it right. Klopp project took 4/5 years. Let that sink in.
Arteta has a plan

I hope we convince Xhaka to stay until summer but if we sell we must get Rabiot on loan a left footed midfielder is a must.

Has Arteta articulated as much or are you assuming he has a plan?

I would rather see Ozil leave than Xhaka. Preferably both gone but if we have to stay lumbered with one of the two, passed this window. Then hands down I'll keep Xhaka thanks. Ozil will NOT be a "different player under Arteta" at all and you're deluded if you think he will. Sure he'll show up and do a few tricks to suck up a bit to the new manager (gotta get his appearance cash after all) but that's it. The second he thinks he's safe from getting offloaded to some team he doesn't really want to leave this cushy little N. London number for. Back to same ol' run around doing feck all Mesut. So basically, we get sh!t Ozil back the second the transfer window closes.
DON'T be stupid enough to fall for Ozil's sh!t AGAIN! It's exactly how he played Wenger and the fans to get himself that ridiculous club handicapping contract we signed him up to. Arsenal already got mugged off once and we've paid a heavy heavy price for it. Please DO NOT encourage any idea/sentiment of Ozil playing. Ozil is TOXIC and must be shipped out of the club. There must be NO MORE TIME WASTED trying to get him to "be a different player" Instead he must be treated AS THE LAZY, SH!T he has been for the last 3-4 YEARS!
KMBA with ya "different player under Arteta" sh!t. No mate, he's that EXACT SAME of a player who's made a party sized mug of you and our club for years. And DON'T YOU BLOODY WELL FORGET THAT FACT! Because it outweighs anything he could do with what left of his career!
