Arsenal are just a mess. Xhaka was bought following analysis by a matrix system that takes players stats and gives transfer suggestions. Sounds clever? Nope it’s still based on algorithms which the developer has put in (with normal human bias). So basically they’ve got some IT guy to pick their players, whereas anybody with access to YouTube would tell you Xhaka was too slow and too clumsy. And Wenger is so desperate to repeat his Henry success (wing to forward) and others during the successful period 20+ years ago, he changes every players position all the time so he can have the ‘glory’ of converting their positions. Obviously this has been a spectacular failure. No wonder their best players are leaving, when their star right back is shoved on the wing and left-back into the centre etc, they don’t have a chance of doing well.
I’d love us signing Sánchez, but I think he’s already agreed to go to City. The man does like to play as much as possible so I would hope the assurance of playing a lot with us rather than rotations at City would sway it. Almost wish that City went on to win everything so the Nation State got bored and pulled out. Really should be investigated for FFP breach- no way they have made enough with not even half their seats sold on match days.
