4th most expensive signing ever for Arsenal. Behind Mustafi, Alexis, and Ozil.

Xhaka has always been a nutter, so the bookings and sendings off don't surprise me, but he's been consistently good to excellence for years at Basel, Gladbach and in the national team. I really didn't expect him to poo poo up the Arsenal team like that but here we are.

Mustafi was only 19m

I swear I thought Granit was 20m or something. Wenger sure hosed up on that one.

The previous expensive "flop" was Reyes and he at least did pretty okay

If they genuinely paid 35m for mustafi holy lol

e: apparently it was 35+ add ons for Mustafi and 17m for Lucas Perez. That's loving insane money for such mediocre players. They nearly spent a full Pogba on Xhaka, Mustafi, and Lucas Perez

Pogba hasn't really set United alight so that may not be the best comparison

Swedish style? No.
Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

Mustafi seems pretty tidy tbh, if overpriced, but Xhaka and Perez are poo poo and terrible and the worst value.

Reyes was potentially a bargain given his talent...Just unfortunate with having a tough time settling and bad luck with injuries.

Dybala just signed a new contract.

Also I'm just guessing about Aguero, but how many other clubs could really afford him?

anyone have a gif from earlier this season when Xhaka is standing on the ball in his own penalty area and another player runs up behind and plows into him, resulting in a penalty?
