Steve r! You have had it with Wenger because he won't sign Kante. I think we have way to many cm already.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont disagree but not of kantes quality. My opinion is he and a striker should have been our priority. he's the best of his type in the prem and arguably europe.

We don't have one anywhere near as good at the job as Kante, we haven't had a real world class dm since Gilberto left.

16 Jul 2016 08:15:27
I love the way you lot are writing off a very experienced £30m quality player, who hasn't even kicked a ball for us yet (Xhaka) .

Kante had a cracking season and thoroughly deserved all the credit he received at the end of it.

However, I'm not too fussed about not 'going for' him.
First of all, it's his first season in a top league, he could cry well be a one season wonder.
Secondly, his passing accuracy was average last season, around the low 80% area, which would never appeal to Arsene.
Thirdly, we already have a small defensive midfielder.
I'm not suggesting Coquelin is/ was as good as Kante, (though when he's in form, he's pretty bloody good) but for seasons, even longer than we've lacked a top striker now, we've lacked a big midfield presence, they're all short or of thin build and can for the most part - not including Ramsey or Coquelin - can be bullied off the ball.
Xhaka gives us a midfielder with real strength and size and whilst he may not be a true defensive midfielder, he's probably the best we're going to get under Arsene, the man loves players who can pass and distribute play and that's what Granit does.

Totally agree with you dags.

{Ed041's Note - why would you ever admit that?

16 Jul 2016 10:24:50
I think xhaka will do well. He's grown up watching and loving Arsenal he will know what to do.

16 Jul 2016 12:18:28
None of us know what xhaka will do, don't hang your hat on a player who has never performed in the prem. Kante for the same price is someone we could of got yhat isn't pie in the sky. What I've seen of xhaka, he's neat and tidy but too slow. What I've seen of kante, he's powerful, explosive and energy to burn. I just can't
help but see the slow pass pass pass
pass pass pass this season. i'm not a fan of wenger his style of football and his attitude towards the way the game is played and he's doing nothing to change that. Its all very predictable.

Well said dags, they are all slating a player who hasn't kicked a ball for us! Shocking support, in Wenger we trust!
