The Artful Dodger 1,829 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Extremely dirty player, better than Xhaka though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 902 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Good price that, he was linked with some good Spanish teams too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,670 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hopefully it’s true and more importantly that he performs for us because there are certain players that for some reason or another don’t do it elsewhere. Look at Kondogbia... At Sevilla he had everyone after him, went to Monaco and from there to Inter where he didn’t exactly set the world on fire. Returned to La Liga for Valencia and is now one of the outstanding players of the season so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan 15,570 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 we were linked with him over past couple of years. Decent player. Also agree he's better than Xhaka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if N’Zonzi ends up failing, he’s still miles better than Xhaka. The Swiss/Albanian is easily in the top 10 biggest waste of money rankings in the history of the club.

RandoEFC 6,924 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Good signing. Not enough to make a difference against the rest of the top 6 but a good signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan 1,710 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Class signing. I wanted us going all out for him last summer when we were linked. Calibre of player we should've gone for in the one summer we had some true pulling power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would fit the Premier League and us perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,557 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just seen that N'Zonzi is 29 this month. Looks like his best years were watching the ball fly over his head at Stoke City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 6,926 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I thought he was Sevilla's worst player when he faced us. He slowed down the way they played so much. He's good at breaking up play and being a fucking arsehole though - so if Arsenal need that, good signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was slow and got outpaced but when Franco came on they were chasing everything, putting pressure on Henderson and the rest is history.

Lucas 3,321 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Typical Arsenal signing for me. Middle bracket calibre of player who will have as many bad games as he does good. Won't turn too many heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,670 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I don’t know if he’s middle bracket becauae as I said further up, the last two seasons he’s been probably Sevilla’s best player and a dominating factor in the defensive side of things in midfield. This season he definitely hasn’t been at the level of the past two and there is the question although he hasn’t been bad. For me the important factor to look at is his price at £35m considering his age... What price would we be paying for someone in the top ranks which by the way, also doesn’t give you any guarantees. He is on paper supremely superior to Xhaka although I don’t know what that means in the larger scheme of things. We aren’t Man Utd or Man City... We can’t spend £90m+ on one player.

Man City don't buy players for that, it's very much a Man Utd and PSG disease caused by those two trying to be big clubs when they're not.

Smiley Culture 1,649 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 29 in December and £35m for a bloke they’ll get 18-24 months out of? What a terrible, terrible deal that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 1,941 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Ridiculous to spend that money on him if you're Arsenal. He won't do much for them, his top level is Sevilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,670 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The correct signing was Kondogbia who is tremendous, but Valencia got in there first (don’t even know if we were in for him this time around) and the rest is history. Top level players in that position are few and far between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asura 316 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Kolasinac and now Nzonzi... Arsenal going in the right direction. Need these kind of players to put in aggressive tackles when needed. The team had way too many softies in the defensive half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
