Sagna had a terrible season for you 12 months ago. Was very poor attacking wise and defending wise.
Debuchy was probably the better player at the time.
This is true. But Sagna had just had leg breaks etc. Last season he got back to his previous level, if not better actually.
Just feel we've gotten ripped off for Debuchy and I' not quite sure why. Had the same feeling when we signed Arteta so it's probably just a bias against PL players at average teams, find it hard to find the positives.
£10m is actually quite a lot of money for a RB and I'm sure we could have done better. Just feels very lazy from Wenger to sign the French RB playing for a PL club...
I'm just thinking can you imagine the backlash if we wrote a book on how we nearly won the league. Journalists would not leave us alone. But I don't think we'd sink that low.
I brought him into the discussion because his stats are what you want from a player like that. Comparing him to Khedira suggests that Khedira isn't the best you can get in that position and, for me, is too expensive to experiment with. Why trust Wenger to convert him when there are ready made alternatives, albeit not many? Where are you getting these stats on aerial duels? Anything I've seen suggests that Khedira is slightly worse than Arteta if anything.
Wenger has a track record of converting players to fit into whatever system he uses. Aerial duels from Squawka, converted into percentages.
I would like to reiterate that I would take Schneiderlin over Khedira in a heartbeat .
Just got interviewed by an Arab TV station(not Al-Jazeera, was Al-M___) coming out of the Armoury. Guy was asking me about Sanchez, my expectations for the season and transfer targets. Guy said they might use me for their PL preview but doubt I'll ever see it....
Guy before me was absolutely jokes though. Guy was 100% Finsbury Park ''raaaahhh, you seen dis man fam[Alexis Sanchez]? My man was on this ting at the WC, tearing up Brazil like it was nufing and dat. Gonna do a madness this season trust''
