I think he's trying to overcompensate by trying to be 'one of the gang' due to the fact that he's only been there a year and isn't likely to be there for much longer considering his age. This interview isn't so bad since I think most people who follow football were gobsmacked (apart from Wenger, apparently 😆 ) but his comments and actions over the season have been cringe worthy.
He's always been idealistic, but now that it's clear there's no substance to it, it just looks pathetic.
