If we get 21 m that's good business. Thought we would get 13 m for him.

You know what, £21.5m is a decent fee.
Buys us 1/5th of a Rice
Pretty much covers the amortisation hit from Rice. £100m over 5 years is a £20m hit and I think we'll make £19m profit on Xhaka with that fee (think Xhaka's book value was £2m-£3m).

Except it has only looked like he could stay for you. So if we look at it from your POV then sure.
say yes
forum master baiter
Sad he’s leaving but that’s a good fee if true.

Betrayed by Xhaka
Not true. There were ideas cropping up all over Twitter from big Arsenal accounts over the last two days that he could stay.

Going from £13m to £21.5m for Xhaka is brilliant business. By far Edus best sale ever

Although in honesty that’s a very reasonable valuation of Xhaka in todays market if not a bargain.
Anyway, I wish him all the best. Was a great servant

Fare thee well, Granit. Great send off for last year's great run. Redemption arc of the millennium.

Y we use the word servant? Sounds a bit slave-ish or evil. Like the nine wraiths were servants to Don Sauron, or Sauron himself to ultradon Morgoth

Good fee, well done Edu. Feels like this is our first decent sale in ages lol

Not a fan of the vitriol here. Granit was a soldier. I’ll miss him. Yeah he wasn’t flash and was prone to mad moments but he wasn’t nearly as bad as some people here are making out. His redemption arc was one of the absolute highlights of the season for me. Guess we’ll have to wait a few years after he’s gone until nostalgia mania (@Riou ) starts singing his praises.

Shows how well he's played this season to raise the fee.
There was a time as Emery left that I'd gladly have seen him gone but has to be said he's been our most consistent midfielder in Arteta's time here and I'll be sad to see him go. For me his last season was fantastic. Wish him all the best.

Goodbye Granit's Stan,
Though he never knew you at all
You had the nerve to post nonsense
Like you knew football
You crawled out of the woodwork
Using multiple different accounts
And now it's Leverkusen-Mania
Where your psycho posts will mount
And it seems to me, you live your life
Like a stalker in the hedge
Rumbling through his rubbish
This transfer had you on edge
And we would've liked to know you
Maybe as a football fan
But here at A-M you're only
Granit Xhaka's Stan
Deserves a Stan-ding ovation

Honestly I feel the same, Nowhere near as bad as he was made out to be and I think some of the ****ting on him was just to wind up you know who.
We've got Rice and Havertz and its clear Arteta sees Havertz as a mf (that's midfielder, not motherf*cker), so it'll be 2 in and 2 out. I'd still like to see us sign another player, but you have to say on talent alone Havertz/Rice is miles ahead of Xhaka/Partey, so I guess it comes down to how Artekkers uses them.

I'll be absolutely gutted to see him go. Wonderful player and an incredible character. People say Rice is a leader, i don't see it, Rice is a 'lad', Xhaka is a man. Fantastic footballer, always the first one over to defend a teammate, always available, top professional. He will be missed, we are losing him a year too early imo.

Why so serieuse?
Will be sad to see him go. Spent a lot of time defending him here, and he was finally repaying some of the faith I've shown him. But I guess it's best to leave on a high. He knows that the knives will be out as soon as he has a slight dip in form.
