Granit Xhaka - Welcome to Arsenal:

Really glad this signing got over the line. As others have said, his attitude & physical presence should bring something vital to the team.

I admit I'll be nervous about injuries during every Switzerland Euro match Laughing

Did you know that Granit Xhaka played in the CL against Juventus Turin despite a ruptured ligament?

When asked about it, his comment was: "There is a reason I am called Granit!"

Arsenal will turn him into clay, no worries :coffee:

Xhaka will wear the number 16.

I guess Coquelin didn't want to give up his number Laughing

by Jay29 Tue May 31, 2016 2:07 pm

Xhaka has now changed to 29 because it's the reverse of his year of birth Laughing

by El Gunner Tue May 31, 2016 2:45 pm

just take the 92 ffs

by Hapless_Hans Tue May 31, 2016 3:14 pm

he's a forceful leader who can't even decide which jersey number to take Molenation

by urbaNRoots Tue May 31, 2016 3:19 pm

Already showing Alex Song-esque decision making.

by rwo power Tue May 31, 2016 3:29 pm

He wants the 34, but he can't just wrestle it away from that guy who already has it. Laughing

Poor Granit. Maybe he will manage to pile up enough pressure on that current Nr.34 guy until he will finally give in before the numbers have to be fixed ^^

by Chumlum Tue May 31, 2016 3:55 pm

I first saw the no. 29 news on Arseblog and assumed it was another joke, like when they said Per's new number would be a bumblebee. Laughing

by rwo power Tue May 31, 2016 4:51 pm

I bet I will decide to change his number around a couple more times until Arsene is forced to tell that number 34 guy to finally give it to Granit XD

by Sri Tue May 31, 2016 5:57 pm

ffs

Feel for the lads who bought a Granit 16 jersey already. They should be given a free change to Granit 29.

by RealGunner Wed Jun 15, 2016 6:58 pm

Got his 2nd MOTM in a row. Although no one really stood out from Switzerland

Xhaka looks like a natural controller. Great range of passing.

by urbaNRoots Wed Jun 15, 2016 7:50 pm

Seeing Xhaka putting scrubs like Seferovic and Shaqiri through on goal ffs

As every season since we signed Özil, we need a quick striker with a good finish to make the most of Xhaka, Cazorla and Özil.

by Adit Wed Jun 15, 2016 8:02 pm

If arsenal can get Vardy and a player like Casemiro then you will walk the league imo.

Do you think we can re-sign Robin van Persie and then transplant his brain into Theo's body?
