HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

Some talk that we’re making a move for Ollie Watkins. Reasons for his omission against Brentford weren’t clear

As long as he's fit, he'd a decent option to get in quickly for a short term loan, hopefully help us get CL football and then focus on bedding in a long term option from elsewhere over the summer.

Yep, I'd take him on loan but I wouldn't make a permanent deal (unless he was completely outstanding during the loan). He's a player who turns up for big moments but week to week I never rated him much.

We have Xhaka for chrissakes. Pay Wijnaldum whatever he wants if he's interested in coming.

This.

Talk is we want EPL ready players in Jan as loans or as depth, and then go big for 1-2 players in the summer unless the opportunity presents in Jan. As such the likes of Wijnaldum, Watkins, Toney, Douglas Luiz etc fit the criteria.

We need a Wenger - Ozilesque sly smile Arteta gif.

I hope Arteta is keeping the truth close to his chest because that statement reads more like we're now going to go and panic buy the midfield equivalent of Cedric Soares.

Oh god. Hope not.

He is not high up on my wishlist but someone like Bruno would be very very acceptable this window

Considering the shortage is just as much self inflicted as it is re AFCON, then you'd think we'd have something looking pretty much done before we decide to compound the shortage otherwise we could be shooting ourselves in the foot.

Sounds to me like Maitland-Niles forcefully said he was out the door, and we've had to take the Roma loan deal once it was negotiated. Since we promised him he'd play, he barely has and Arteta seems to dislike him as an option, so it shows the minimum integrity to let him head off independent of other stuff.

Gazza M

we jerked AMN around a bit in the last 24 months, he'd probably had enough, and we couldn't say much to convince him to stay here. interesting that jose pushed for him as well

Linked with midfielder Danilo from Palmerias:

Linked to a couple of midfielders today. Danilo off of Palmeiras and Samuelle Ricci (it’s a bloke I checked) from Empoli.

Danilo looks just the ticket, whilst Ricci looks technically strong.

Clrnc

If I remember correctly Danilo was the super impressive CM in the Copa Libertadores final.

Looks a great profile for us, time to search his youtube.

Quite the left foot, but looks a bit raw. Could be a good pick up for the longer term though.

Xhakaesque

Looks similar in style to Fernandinho

He needs little time and backlift to ping those passes unlike the Swiss cardster.

ohboy

Danilo looks unpolished, but exactly the type we need in midfield. Was quite good at pressing, and good distributor.

Really like the type of players we are going after

Highlights reel, but shows the kid has a some real talent:
