We should give Cagigao free range to find the best young talent.
Were stuck with ozil more than ever unfortunately. Nobody was willing to pay those wages before now hes been average for another year and hes older his an even more unattractive prospect.
You can give him up for free and pay some of his wage this season. If someone is willing to give him a 3 year deal at £200k on a free, we might as well pay £150k a week in his last year for him to fuck off. We’d save £10m pounds before tax on an ineffective player.

You are so kind to him to call him average.
He has never had any suitors outside of China and USA since he joined us unfortunately.
If Pogba was available would you take him, all things (i.e. including the asshole agent) considered?

If he’s healthy, I take him. His main problem is he seems to have the Ramsey health limitation: star quality is useless if the guy doesn’t play. That said, he’d be one our 2 best players and take midfield to another dimension
Would rather invest in someone like Camavinga then Pogba.
Wouldn’t take Pogba for the likely cost it would involve.
If we’re going to splash then splash on a left sided forward
Pogba would probably another Ozil here.
Time to focus and build a team for the future. When they all mature it will be glorious.
You’re absolutely right that this is the time for StatDNA to work with Edu to find the young players who would most perfectly fit into Arteta’s vision of football. Put together a team that will gel and win together
Nah. I think theres still something there and the right manager can get him motivated but I wouldn't lumber than on an Arsenal manager right now, theres too much else to do and it'd be too big a risk with our resources.
Things might turn out Milhouse after all
Partey, Umtiti on the cheap and Coutinho on loan would make this a great window.
---------------Leno Cedric--Saliba--Umtiti--Saka --Partey-Torreira-Coutinho Pepe-----------------Martinelli ---------------Auba
Are we really to believe that we are simultaneously at war with our own players over pay cuts and also trying to spend €50m on Partey?
Yerrr!
“Hi Skhodran. Thanks for doing your bit and agreeing to the wage cut. You’re helping to protect the club financially.”
Next day. Baaaaam 1 x Thomas Partey up in herre!
The Mirror keeping their standards up

It seems the wage issue, is the club using the current crisis to bring down the players wages in line with a club who hasn't been in the CL for a while but is paying CL wages.
Rumours doing the rounds about Partey and Jovic today. Jovic being the prime target to replace Auba.
I could live with this next season
—————-Leno Bellerin—Saliba—Luiz—Saka ————Partey ———Ozil ——Willock Pepe——-Jovic—-Martinelli
The Partey rumours are growing legs by the minute.
