What's happened to him. Played 19 times for arsenal last season, made a couple of brief sub appearances for us in Sept, but been on bench most of the time since . We're crying out for a defensive midfielder with a bit of bite and a winning mentality. Surely it's worth giving him some game time just sitting in front of the back four?

The idea of him being 'another coach' is ridiculous. How much are we paying him? I'd guess something around 70k pw. How many coaches could you have for 25% of that? Would have rather had another year of Jedinak, all in all a very disapointing bit of business...

But he's been on the bench most games. Not much point if he's not going to get game time. Not like he's been out injured for a long time, he played quite a few games for arsenal last season.

A pointless and expensive signing I think. The only time he played he was embarrassed for his lack of mobility.
