It seems a bit ore positive about Arteta in that article.

For the record I would love Defour here if Arteta goes.

The Echo article says we are "more hopeful" of Arteta staying. I wonder what's happened to make us "more hopeful"

Even when she says the right things - as in this case?

No one can replace Arteta,not even Messi. Not only is Arteta that good, but he understand PL, Everton style of play, Moyes Tactics and he induce fear to opponent. I rather sell like 5 players to keep him, if that is necesserry...

Although you're exaggerating with the Messi comment, I see your point. I think for us Arteta could well be irreplaceable. If by some chance we could replace him, that player would not be able to be as effective straight away, and it could mean another season of mediocrity.

I honestly think Fellaini, Arteta and Cahill is the best central midfield trio in the league and Arteta is key to the balance of this trio, he must stay, pienaar can go, he's replaceable with players already in the squad and would free up funds to sign Donovan but Arteta is World class and is the man that's gonna help us break into the top four, he's better than anyone Utd.,Chelsea,City and RS have got and I even think he's better than Fabregas at Arsenal

Take off the blue tinted specs mate.

In my opinion, Arteta and Fabregas are on par at best. But Fabregas is a lot younger, so all in all is a considerably better prospect. Gerrard in form is better than Arteta, and Lampard is better than Arteta. However I think you're right about city. I wouldn't swap him for Robihno, for De Jong, for Silva or for Toure.

And to mention Cahill in the same breath as Felli and Arteta is odd as well.

Cahill is massively important to us in my opinion and I think managers like Wenger or Ferguson would happily take him from us.

As centre midfielders, neither Gerrard or Lampard are better than Arteta. We saw that during the World cup and many games where they are asked to play in more demanding positions (orthodox midfielders) and struggle. Great in there niche roles for there clubs, granted, a very good players, but Arteta is a better CM than both of them.

Fabregas is certainly better than Arteta, no question.

Yep he's a better CM. Not a better player though to be honest, in the grand scheme of things. Well, I think he's better than Gerrard now, as he's past it. Don't get me wrong though, Mikel is the bets player we've got and he's incredible. I'm just trying to be objective.

He's important to us. But not massively so, or at least not on the pitch. Off the pitch he's the greatest ambassador we have. Ferguson or Wenger would have him on the bench -- at a push. Don't kid yourself.

I don't think Fabregas is much better than Arteta I think they're at least on a par with each other

I think it's easy to side with the regular CL starter, but as I said before I think they're on par. It's just that Cesc is a lot younger, so all in all has to be regarded as better. And the man is an advertisement institute. All these things work in your favour.

 

[best little spaniard]

Are we honestly trying to convince ourselves that Arteta is as good as Fabregas???
