What leadership skills?
He acts and operates how a proper captain should and by all accounts has been instrumental in guiding and mentoring our youngsters (they’ve said this themselves and it’s evident when you watch our games as well).
He leads by example, is well respected in the camp and demonstrates leadership.
He may have reached his peak as a player but I find it hard to dispute his soft skills.
The guy lumbers around on the pitch, totally absent skill, huffing and puffing and bumping into stuff like a dim, grizzled, old bear for like 75 minutes. And then he’s done. And he’s spearheading Arsenal’s attack? And I’m supposed to appreciate some “soft skill”?
Okay you know what? I’ll tell you what you want to hear, again, credit to Arteta.
Finding and bringing in an Arsenal quality top striker next is super critical. I put forward that it’s even more important than displacing Xhaka!
