samthegooner At least that team news and ticks guy also says that Arteta loves De Jong (although he just seems to mention every good CM so that he can't be wrong).

    Let’s just do this….

    Partey in part ex for Frenkie
    Nketiah and Nelson in part ex for Olise
    Sell Zinchenko to fund the new left sided defender
    Transfer war chest for Bruno G and Vlahovic

    TambourineMan Dare I say, maybe even Sancho...

    Or Olmo. Basically a no. 10 on the wing like Wenger used to do, so we can take some of the creative burden off Odegaard. Retain Martinelli as an old fashion winger for when that is needed and let Saka play 60 games again on the right.

    It's odd how the transfer window seems to trigger a dopamine rush. Hate that I love it.

      rice and bruno would never lose a fight, that's for sure. not sure he meets my expectation of technical pass-master world-builder, but im ok giving our recruitment guys the benefit of the doubt if he is indeed 'the guy' we want

      HomeSteak Supposedly along with Alonso. Not too bothered, he looks great in compilations, but I've also never seen a comp of him without a few commenters underneath questioning his actual level and his physicality

        Exact thing he said

        Dyche don't like his best midfielder? lol

        If Onana was cheap and a rotation player fine but he's not in the same bracket as Bruno G and Rice, definitely a level or 2 below that.

        It's BW's new template for signing players - Reliability, Skill, Teamwork. I heard he paid some consulting house a lot of money to come up with it.
