Matteo Guendouzi's bust-up with Neal Maupay seems to have cost him his Arsenal career. Or rather it looked to be the final straw in a line of ill-judged decisions from the young Frenchman which made Arteta banish Matteo.
Gwendo is doing a decent job at Hertha Berlin if their sporting director's words are anything to go by - and his recent solid showing for France U21s made some Arsenal faithful question the call to let him go.
The team needs some tough lads who can give it back to the opposition, they argue. This particular fan on Reddit begs to differ.
JohnCleeseDied: "You'd think this narrative would die as soon as we won a trophy nearly entirely without Guendouzi but no.
"We're not a team of small creative midfielders getting cut down by the 'orcs' or whatever embarrassing term crops up in our fanbase, we are a rigid defensive side that can't attack.
"It's a disservice to both Matteo and the squad to pretend that the squad is in need of these mythical 'c*nts' and that Matteo is pretty much just a shithouser and not a young talented deep-lying playmaker."
We'd certainly love to have someone in Patrick Vieira's mould around but this supporter has a point. Matteo is just a young lad, not some kind of brute to intimidate the opposition. He's not even physically imposing enough for that.
