I've only seen him play a few times, but he looks like an incredible talent to me. He would start for us on merit in no time. And best of all, he'd work with Ramsey centrally.

I've seen him a few times too and he seemed highly intelligent in his game, able to play both a reserved and more adventurous role. Was completely unfazed by the occasion against Chelsea or Benfica, if he takes the transition well he's easily good enough to play a role immediately.

Represented by Jorge Mendes though so about as likely as signing Messi

Jonesy, how'd you rate Johannes Geis? I know he just moved to Schalke in the summer, but should we be in for him if he's available?

He's taken the step up from Mainz very well and would certainly strengthen us, he's sort of like a mix of Coquelin and Arteta in that he has some of the strengths of either (in their prime). There are however loads of midfielders who I'd rather have to be honest, someone like Xhaka for example who'd transform our team is on completely different level compared to him in both talent and current performances.

We're back in for big Willy in the jan tran according to Jeremy Wilson.

plz arsene

So what do you do with your time off from football?

I get the feeling people think I'm a basement dweller who has no hobbies aside from watching football 😆 I just don't spend my time following 20 TV shows or playing Fallout for ten hours a day like many others seem to do.

Freak.

Few more links to Lucas Moura popping up

Who would you guys go for out of him or Mahrez?

"We were interested in him when he was in France and the year we wanted to bring him in, Rennes did not want to sell him," said Wenger in the Arsenal matchday programme.

Wenger responding to Yann M'vila stories.

As for Moura. No credible link and you can see why. PSG paid 35m for him and don't need to sell.

Get him. Loan, loan with an option to buy, permanent transfer, anything. Just get him in, so we don't have to play Flamini/Arteta.

Rabiot might just be our one hope of making a signing in January that makes a big difference to how the rest of the season goes.

Rabiot-Ramsey-Özil would be such a good midfield.

Would be a great mixture of different abilities.

Not that i'm too upset on missing out on M'vila but that's such bullshit, as if you can't get a club like fucking Rennes to sell a player.

It took 5 years to prove that Julien Laurens had a case with the M'vila story. 😆 Poor guy.

more links to neves as well. we've been at the last 4 porto games scouting him apparently
