    We've been quite heavily linked with Lyon's Bruno Guimaraes, who I think would be a terrific signing and is exactly the profile of player we should be looking at.

    Gabriel's was far worse in my eyes. I don't know why he just lost the plot at 1-1, regardless of the penalty decisions the game was never lost at 1-1 and the dynamic actually hadn't changed, City still couldn't break Arsenal down and Arsenal were still more threatening.

    Xhaka was just done by Bernardo Silva in the same way Salah did Marcos Alonso.

    But Xhaka 'just' gets done all the time. Red cards. Penalties. He's a walking disaster and belongs at a club like Newcastle or Everton.

    If you really want to blame someone, blame the manager then. Xhaka doesn't pick himself every week. Arteta chose to keep him, Arteta convinced the club to offer him a new deal and Arteta is the one who continuously picks him, despite his notable flaws.

    I think it would be best to move on from Xhaka but he's comfortably the best partner for Partey in that midfield as things stand.

    That's true. But that being true doesn't stop him still being a walking disaster and belonging at a club like Newcastle or Everton.
