Will see if it continues but if Malo gusto is continually picked ahead of you in your position it does not say much for you.

Even though we have half a fit midfielder available in the squad, Xabi Alonso spent too many years playing with John Arne Riise and Stevie Me to ever rate a ginger footballer. Understandable.

Arteta would never buy Barco. Too small and Ginger.

Says even less for the muppet who thought it would be a good idea to sign him in the first place.

Not slagging off Barco as I've hardly seen him play. But like you say, if the manager thinks that playing Malo f**king Gusto in midfield is better than playing Barco there, then a head should roll in the recruiting department.

Of course, we know very well that nothing will happen in that regard.

Needs to play. Will get his chance midweek. Hopefully does enough to start holding a spot until others return.

34 million only gets you a seat on the subs bench! Must be what Alonso sees day to day.

Although I still don’t see what several different managers see in Gusto!
