Having closely monitored Granit Xhaka’s performances in his three appearances for Switzerland during their Euro 2016 campaign to date, I was surprised to hear the recently appointed Hibernian manager, Neil Lennon’s assessment of our recent addition. In Neil’s assessment, he stated that he hasn’t been overly impressed by what he has seen so far and […]
The UEFA Euro 2016 competition has began in earnest, with several thrills occurring during the revamped 24- team tourney. The Arsenal is represented by 9 players, eight of whom played a part in the recently ended ‘freak’ season, whilst one joined in a strange-by-Arsenal-standards move, in the person of Granit Xhaka. As the competition is […]
If Jamie Vardy is the answer, then I’d love to know what the question is. This is such a left field *signing from Arsene, those fans who were screaming for change and ranting for Arsene to change his policy, not even in their wildest imagination did they ever expect this. I have had a week […]

His tactics are stale, he can’t motivate the players, and he has lost that edge that once gave him an advantage over every coach […]
Boom XhakaLaka Well for once Wenger has got started on his renovations early this summer and has set up his first installation before the summer sales have even started. Granit Xhaka has passed his medical and leaked himself and the new home kit to the world. In honour of this event, I thought I’d have […]
“For me, the standards you need to play for this club, it cannot be eight out of 10, it has to be 10 out of 10. When you cannot deliver that, it is not good enough. Sometimes people get away with it. Inside myself, my gut wasn’t clean and when you are like this, I […]
Sky Sports Germany and many other media outlets are sure: Granit Xhaka will be a Gunner next summer.
