Apparently we managed to fight off competition from a lot of big clubs for his services which is good in many ways. I do not know a lot about him apart from the fact that he is quite rangy with a good passing range. I can't wait to hear someone compare him to Patrick Vieira (again) that will be fun.
He gives you ideas eh? I'd be interested to know what kind of ideas those are. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Arsenal work on their transitional game for next season. I remember Arsène speaking at the end of the season about how good Leicester City were without needing the ball, and how much of a lesson that was to everyone. A player like Kante is vital to that approach. I didn't know he had such an impressive number of interceptions but you can see just how dominant he is on the pitch.
Aaron Ramsey has praised the defensive work of Francis Coquelin in the middle of midfield. The Frenchman who came back from Charlton on loan a different player has given Aaron Ramsey the keys to roam forward and bomb into the opposition box and Ramsey appreciates the cover his team mates
Aaron Ramsey is hoping to put this season's injury woes behind him and kick on during this important end of season run in. The Welshman has had problems with hamstring strains this season and has struggled to find the incredible form of last season. But Ramsey is feeling strong physically now and is proving that with two impressive performances in the last two games against West Ham and then off the bench against Monaco.
We produced a performance we wanted, overall at half time the game should have been over, we created five clear cut chances, I think as well we were unlucky with some refereeing decisions in the first half especially. Monaco had no shot on target at all, we played in one half and they defended well, until the end I think it was a very tight game
Yes I think so, we've always played Bayern Munich, Barcelona and teams like that. No disrespect to Monaco but we thought we had a real good opportunity to qualify but we've given ourselves a tough task from the first game. We've come here and we nearly done it but that seems to be the case every year
It is difficult to forget the last cup encounter we had against Reading in the league cup in 2012. We were 4-0 down before Theo Walcott pulled one back just on half time. We finished the game winning 7-5 in one of the most ridiculous yet highly entertaining games of football you'll ever see. Not sure that I am emotionally ready for that again, that said I'd take it now if it meant another day at Wembley was guaranteed.
