Just read something interesting online and thought I'd share. Regarding our CDM hunt and possible replacing of arteta:

"Morgan Schneiderlin immediately stands out as a player blessed with both the physicality and composure to step into the Spaniard's shoes; no player has managed more combined tackles and interceptions than the Frenchman's 466 (6.75 per match) across the last two Premier League seasons, while he was the most active passer in a Southampton side that averaged more possession than any other team last term.

Khedira, then, is an outstanding player and would unquestionably improve any side, But he is not as perfectly suited to this Gunners side as others could be, and entering into a bidding war with Chelsea for his services could see Wenger wrongly fall for the lure of a statement signing ahead of true necessity."

Its from a journalist obviously and they all have their own opinions but what's interesting is the stats.

It's a no contest for me, he ticks too many plus boxes to be overlooked.

Would be cheaper, less wages, hungrier to prove himself on the big stage and seems to be more the type of player we are lacking.

Bender would be good to but he has already came out and said he wants to stay in Germany. Spyder would jump at the chance to play for us

Schneiderlin should be our man IMO and we need to move before the new King of de spurs decides to go back and lift him

Agreed Bender or Schneiderlin would be buzzing with either. IMO I'd rather Schneiderlin young and great stats Premiership ready

Kehdira, big game mentality. that's all that needs to be said.
