Odegaard. I love the commander players, and the way he orchestrates pressed and attacks with pointing fingers every which way is very cool to watch. It's hard not to say Saka though and part of me thinks I'm just saying Odegaard because the other comment already took Saka.
Gotta be Arteta. I was excited when he joined and he was great for us, but obviously his contribution as a manager makes me appreciate him all the more. I started supporting Arsenal because I admired Wenger, and when he left my support waned a bit. But then Arteta returned from the enemy camp with a bag full of stolen Guardiola tactics and restored what had been lost. I'm a sucker for the story.
Carl Jenkinson. Not sure that he had "hype," I just really wanted him to do well given that his personality and backstory as a fan. Diaby and Wilshere get a shout too, and are probably better answers to the question.
I think it's Ozil. Shout-out to Pepe. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but I can't stand players that won't train while on contract when they could take a pay cut and go elsewhere.
Gotta agree with your point four there. Auba comes to mind also.
I knew there was another example I was forgetting!
Mind-boggling that they get paid so much, and when they underperform and lose their spot not only do they stop working but they also have the gall to complain like they don't have the option to go elsewhere.
