Really…Serious bottlers Arsenal - Arteta has to create a winning mentality- he really hasn’t so far. When the chips are down they presently go missing…. Sane won’t change that mentality.

Not even close to 2nd

The fact Bayern, after chasing Sane for ssoooooo long, are willing to let him go shows the player he is....brilliant but incredibly inconsistent

Arsenal didn't make top 4 and they had ZERO midweek European fixtures

Jesus, Sane and Zinch are good signings...but let's be real, they aren't gonna bridge the gap to us and the Dippers

Probably back Chelsea over them even if Chelsea don't get Kounde and Arsenal do get Sane/Zinchenko
 
Zané must regret the day he listened to his mother and his mates and moved back home and away from the man who made him what he was I have a feeling a few recent leavers will end up with similar regret

Great player on his day as exciting as you'll see,but he wanted to leave the club leaving City now is a step down for any player. Not worked out for him to well has it unlucky. Would I have him back nah bridge burn't and we're no longer desperate for players who don't want to be here.

Not really. His role here and eventually at Bayern would have been the same An inconsistent backup with World Class attributes.

So you don’t think he regrets?
He was more than a back-up and yes like most wingers a little inconsistent however I believe under Pep he would have become better and been developed Massive mistake for him and now he will never achieve his potential

Not really convinced he's that arsed about achieving his full potential tbh. Doesn't strike me as being that passionate about his football (which is fine, it's up to him how he wants to live his life).

I've crossed paths with loads like Sané over the years & their problem is that they're so supremely & naturally gifted, that they believe that talent is all that's required to succeed.

I'd give anything to have the talent of a Sané to mix with my will to succeed. You'd have another Ronaldo in the making & it's seriously sad that the likes of Sané & others like Balotelli et al will never realise that it's hard work, determination & dedication to your craft that separates the Ronaldo's & Lewandowski's from the Sané's & Balotelli's of this world.

They've got the tools but just don't know how to properly utilise or appreciate them. :-|

In English sports, we have a long-standing tradition of saying ARE. You may be correct that both are OK, but I believe that technically, "IS" is correct because you are referring to a single entity (e.g. the club/team).

You wouldn't say Zinchenko ARE signing for Arsenal, because he's a person, i.e. a single entity and it shouldn't be any different when referring to a single entity that reflects a collection of people.

Or maybe it's just a US v English thing, as per the following example.

My Family Is or Are: Subject-Verb Agreement

Perhaps you’ve had this experience: you’re talking with a friend about your family, and they ask something general. But when you reply with a quick description, are you referring to one family, or are you talking about several individuals? The need for subject-verb agreement will help determine...

Both “My family is” and “My family are” are correct in British English, while “My family is” is most common in American English. This is because “family” is a collective noun, and American English generally treats collective nouns as singular, while British English treats them as plural.

Correct. American English refers to sports teams and clubs as singular nouns, here it is the plural.

Whilst I back our use of the English language in most cases, as we invented it, I think the Americans are correct in this case.

Depends on whether you look at it as being the entity or the tribe.

I prefer to look at it from a tribal point of view, and so use plural collective nouns.

Make's it so I won't have to sing 'They're gonna win the league, they're Gonna win the league, and now you're gonna believe them, and now you gonna believe them..........'
