Anyone with a bit of football knowledge could see that he wasn't doing enough on the ball to be able to withhold whatever form he was showing. Once Cazorla went to ground, he was finished here.
"Football knowledge" eh...all I know is when my boy was our main DM we never finished outside the top four, when your Swiss DM arrived we never finished in the top four...
When both were at the club, Xhaka was beating the likes of Chelsea and City in the FA Cup final whilst Coquelin was warming the bench. One is still here winning, the other has joined your boy in a nothing club in Spain joining that criminal Emery. Now piss off with your nostalgic nonsense, this is the Martinez thread.
Look as I said, the whole difference I see between the two is consistency. I’m yet to see Emi have a full season. That’s why I’d rather keep both and decide which is what I think we’ll do.
That being said, if 20M can get us Partey then I’d do it.
Because he has shown it for so little time and has 2 years left in contract. He needs to extend his contract in some way.
I see your points and consider them valid. Obviously the club has a tough choice to make here, not pretending otherwise.
Still, after what we've seen from Martinez, I would be sad to see him go, and think it's worth discussing whether we should keep him instead despite whatever choice Arteta makes in the end.
Was half joking/half defending my boy...but tbf, Coq left us to join Valencia, got Champions League with them and beat Barca to win the Spanish Cup...Francis was a good player for us, Arsène trying to turn him into a box to box player from 2017 ruined him here.
My main point though, Emi had a similar run to Coq and you weren't bothered to see the latter go...maybe see what Mikel has got planned here, whatever happens...this could just be a purple patch for Emi for all we know.
If it's the end of his career here he's going out with his last game being an FA Cup Final triumph, can't ask for more than that.
Where do you get that he would extend? Hasn't thus far and the club wants to sell players with 2 years in contract if they don't renew.
I'd like that too, but hard to see it happening when he wants to be a #1 at this point of his career.
At least whatever happens, I do like both keepers...a far cry from the days of Cech and Ospina in goals for us

What about the legendary trio of Almunia/Fabianski/Mannone?
Most Arsenal fans would say this is the worst of the worst, and they would be right.
But there is one crazy maverick on here that genuinely believes that the guy in the middle of the three you listed, is the best goalkeeper in the league now.
