Blunt as ever from the former Arsenal player, Paul Merson doesn’t get enough credit as a pundit on Sky Sports, the guy is top notch. Love his honesty
Merson was asked whether Arsenal could afford to let Musafi go.
“Yeah,” Merson replied.
“And he’ll keep that record going as well at Schalke.”
“That record” refers to Schalke’s performance in the league this season where they have won one game out of 19 played so far, conceding 49 goals in the process.

Schalke are currently rock bottom of the Bundesliga and will have their work cut out if their going to stay up. Musafi has always struggled with his pace and struggled at periods with Arsenal, so maybe it’s for the best that the German moves back closer to home. Schalke play Wolfsburg in their next game and it’s really difficult to see where they will pick up points in any of their up coming games.
