The measure of a football player aside from their on-field talent, is how they conduct themselves away from the pitch.
There have been plenty of world beaters that just don’t live in the real world and, as a result, their popularity isn’t perhaps commensurate with their fame.

Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka hasn’t been the most popular of players for the Gunners because of incidents in the past, but as he prepares to leave the club for a new adventure with Jose Mourinho at Roma, his parting message won’t have been received well.
“Football is a team sport and you’re only as good as your team,” he was quoted as saying by The Sun, hinting that, perhaps, he’d have done better if those around him were up to the task too.
It’s hardly the sort of thing that’s going to endear him to the Gunners faithful, and the quicker Mikel Arteta is shot of him, the better.
The midfielder could’ve left with his head held high but has shown a real lack of class once again.
lol
He would have shown class by lying to himself and the world.
If class was also about lying, then all liars are classy.
As hard as it is to say, he has a point.
It is true he can be as good as the team,he should not forget that he was as mediocre as the rest, imagine being given a ball by your goalkeeper and you give it to an opponent who is clear on goal to score thereby costing your team two valuable points!

Actually
Xhaka is telling the truth how many Arsenal players can you pick given a chance to form a team? Most of Arsenal players are average talent we have to be honest with our selves the team is not good enough, And also inexperienced management make it worse, think of culum Chambers and Holding are they players you can trust. Most of Arsenal players are donkeys among horses.
He was a ponderous slow footballer, and will be the same for Roma. The Arsenal team has been managed badly by Arteta though.
Just leave already
Lets see how it unfolds with his new adventure at rome.
We want u to leave already
Very funny but he says the truth
He said the truth,, but time has come to leave the club
And the team is only as strong as its weakest link! GTFO Xhaka!
