It's almost as if we're shopping like a club that is looking at a 4th year outside Champions League.

Or one that wants a 5th and a 6th.

I'm confused, didn't we spend £22+ million on a new starting leftback just last summer?

Looks like Arteta wants to play a technical game which Kurzawa definitely suits.

More links to Bruno Guimaraes - he looks just the ticket to give our midfield balance

lorddulaarsenal

Signing Kurzawa effectively means we get a left side attacker as it frees Saka

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I like the idea of that. Team badly needs balance.

Coombs

It's another January gamble. History tells us it won't work out. Guess we'll see.

Looks like he won’t arrive til the summer on a freebo

PSG fans very happy about this. Voted the top 5 worst signings of the past 20 years. Thought he was decent at least.

lorddulaarsenal

He is decent. PSG fans are just a bit dim

lorddulaarsenal

Remind yourself what he got up to at a Monaco.

I suspect Arteta will be drawn to those whipped in crosses which land in the corridor of doom.

Kinda like what Mandy provides at City when he’s on his game

Daz

Dude sure likes a back heel.

Freebo bit stinky transfer as you would say. Kolasinsc has been good I have no interest in him being sold off this summer. He understands our patterns more than any other fullback in the squad.

Claudius

The more I think about this transfer, the less sense it makes. We basically need central midfielders and a central defender to spark this team to life. Saka has been good as a stand in left back and Kola should be back. If it’s the case that Kola is likely to miss a lot of this season, then this might make sense. But if this ends up being the primary transfer this winter, it will feel like Denis Suarez all over again.

I’m really haunted by Suarez. We threw away the Champions League on that transfer. This from a team that once brought in Klaus favorite Källström.

lorddulaarsenal

Thought Chamakh was Klaus’ favourite?!

lorddulaarsenal

Taking of whom

My word

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

My word. How has his hair remained the same thinness as it was a decade ago?

Chunky fucker as well.

Qwiss

Older than Kola, looks at best average in Ligue 1 and is shit at defending? Whats the point of this? Better of keeping Kola who looks suited to Artetas system and can defend soft players from stake attacks.

Klaus

What if Kolasinac has expressed a wish to leave? He came here to be our new longterm leftback. Instead he failed to displace a 100 year old Monreal, and now we've spent huge money on a younger and better player to put in front of him.

Qwiss

If Kola wants to go he should but it doesn't make Kurzawa any better. He's exactly the sort of player we should be avoiding. In decline, constantly injured, big wage, average player, etc Looks like a terrible deal all round.

Clrnc

I read a number of reports of what type of player he is from PSG fans and French Journalists. He dribbles well and is a good attacking outlet, but very injury prone and poor stamina. Don't get back fast enough most of the time and is very dodgy defensively. Pros and cons.
