It’s good to have a hobby. Especially if you retire early.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Most people knew that when you signed him!
Doesn't he get $100K per week?
I think people need to give him a break. Each of his last two performances being an improvement on the last. Okay so that's not saying much in terms of level but it is movement in the right direction. Seems to have found the dribbling boots we're more familiar with now and getting to know his teammates habits better. few more games (don't need to be starts) and his passing and shooting should pull up to scratch. Grandpa's only just starting to get going.
I fully expect that barring injury he'll make some important contributions between now and seasons end. Though I dunno if it'll be enough to make people glad we signed him
These Willian articles are getting ridiculous. Proper witchhunt by the fan base. Guy has been getting serious abuse. Typical arsenal fans

Apparently he got a barrage of negative messages before the Man Utd game on social media, Arsenal fans really do not help our players, no wonder he's low in confidence
It's turned out to be a poor signing and Edu needs to take responsibility for it as it seems he was the driving force behind it. He's made some good signings ie Martinelli among others but he's got this one wrong. I think he will be here 18 months max and we will pay him off. One thing is for sure this has got to stop happening getting players in we can't shift down the line. Obviously we don't want to be selling our best players but we can't have squad players on 200 grand a week its not sustainable.

To me the main issue is the length of the deal rather than the reported salary. He was a good player at Chelsea and good players don't suddenly become bad players , but is getting older so performances are bound to decline. Long term deals like this for ageing players tend to give too much comfortability and don't encourage the need to perform so are never a good idea , one year renewable annually based on performance would have been far more sensible.

If Auba played like Willian did yesterday you would have hired a hitman to take him out.

Willian should have scored. He came on for Martinelli.
It was a tactical change. I dont understand why.
It's not Willian's fault we signed him, the man is asked to play and so he does - the fact that he has been pretty s**t and is maybe washed up shows that the people making the recruitment decisions at the club aren't very good - but we shouldn't attack him personally because at the moment he seems to be trying his nuts off.

Also, William played decent yesterday so no, wouldn't have hired a hitman for Auba
Bar his miss he was actually pretty good. Set up that great chance for Pepe which would have been a goal bar that block from Maguire.
He took a pay cut to join us (not saying much) his 200k per week so called figure includes his signing on fee and no transfer fee was involved.

Who here has been abusive?

He was decent especially as he hasn't played much, almost put a great ball through for Laccazette and he made a very good interception in our box to stop them having a shot on our goal. He didn't get enough of the ball to test their fullback.

I suspect it was an injury concern change rather than tactical. Maybe he was feeling twinges and someone's finally managed to get him to say something when that happens not to be a soldier. So he was upfront about something not feeling quite right and was pulled before it become any more than that. As he's fine for sure now, the club's styling it out saying it was tactical.
I like this idea because it would mean that Martinelli was learning to protect himself and his career by being straight with the physio. Also that Arteta had learnt something and was no longer playing fast and loose with injury/potential injury. Win win
Yeah or maybe not everything is a conspiracy and it actually was tactical.
Arteta only protects white footballers. It all makes sense now.
