so happy with the xhaka deal. been watching him for a few years now and he stands out not only for club but for country, you can esily see he's the best player on the pitch with both teams. any gooner who has watched him play will be chuffed with this. just can't see him not making a massive difference we have needed this type player for some time. If wenger is liberal with the cash then we could really have a team next year. having his spirit along with alexis next year will be a winning combo. let's see how the others spend but if mr wenger addresses the areas needed then i'm feeling stragely optomistic. good work so far in the window but early days. fingers crossed.

Our new Vieira mate.

wow Dags a brave statement there and no doubt not all will agree. Truth be told from what I have seen of him Xhaka loves a tackle, and from another few things I have seen (and told) , we will be back to practising with 10 men again just like the old Viera days.
That statement might not be too far out from what i have/ seen been told. Need to see a little more of him to be honest, but I look forward to it next season. If he does play a hard hitting holding role then good job AW. Could of used a player like that though at least 5 seasons ago onwards.

The worrying thing is who will be leaving to balance the books. We all know tne Yanks love a profit.

Could he be more defensive and be our Petit?

Absolutely Gavsta,
Xhaka said today, "I am a leader on the pitch".
I can't remember the last Arsenal player to say that.
Xhaka's style of play is to break up the opposition's play and set up a counter attack.
Vieira?
