with the way you guys are talking about Bissouma and Buendia we should be challengers next season. 😆

Not having a dig, I haven't watched them much. Not overly convinced by the Buendia compilations I've seen but I hope you're right about him.

Are they better than what we have? Yes. Can we put them into a coherent system? Yes. Bissouma’s industry and box to box coverage will surprise fans. He’s not some conservative wall. We can run hard next season with these guys and our kiddies. With one game a week, we could be an incredibly hard team to play against

Romano reiterating that Bissouma is not our 1st choice target and that we're looking for someone more technical in the mould of Ceballos, which despite the association with the latter is personally my preference as it's more conducive to Wengerball.

Have we been linked to any other central midfielders at all? If we're making moves for someone else we're defo keeping it quiet.

Makes me happy but don't think there have been links at all. I have been a little surprised by Partey's volume if misplaced passes. A friend who watched Atletico quite regularly confirmed the passing inconsistencies aren't new. I just can't convince myself about Partey Bissouma. I watched enough of the latter. I think Klaus alluded to Bissouma as our Gilberto while Partey's reading of the game and defensive ability made me think he was exactly that. Really intrigued by which way we will go.

I want a solid midfield that nobody can get through. A bit like Liverpool. Then we can flood opposition with attackers and fullbacks. And push high up the field. Watching this video reminds me of how lethargic Xhaka is. Go to the 6 minutes for tackles

goon

Has the defensive transition really been an issue for us though? Feels like we’d be fixing something that is largely ok. On the other hand how many 60%+ possession games have we seen where we barely penetrate the final third?

What has happened to all the ITKs this summer? There used to be someone who claimed Flamini was taking over the club, a mole, etc.? Just Romano these days?

The Bell is our God now.

Oh, and The Bell also credited Chris Wheatley and the Football.London team for having good info.

Bell probably doesn't want to incur the wrath of Wheatley like Romano has 😆

Neves is seemingly available for around 35m. Would be the ideal Xhaka replacement.

Though I fear we will regret not going for Bissouma, in the same we missed out on Kante because we had a deal agreed with Xhaka.

Bissouma is a no brainer if we want a solid midfield base. He’s like Kante in that he has that unique ability to invade your personal space before you even know he’s within range. And he will give us that added robustness and size in midfield to make up for bringing in Mini Emi. Plus I think he lacks motivation at Brighton, and in a better set up his overall game will be further elevated. Bring him in and we can focus on goalie and then center forward if we are sensible enough to get whatever value we can for Aubameyang now. Build for the future.

Celik/Chambers--Saliba/Rob--Gabriel/Mari--Tierney/Doig

I don’t know who Cielik or Dogi are, but besides that, I can buy what you’re selling Ray.

Basically said Romano steals stuff from others and takes credit for it.

Since it looks like Buendia doesn't look like happening, there's still the likes of De Paul (who also cost 40m euro) or zielinski.

QuincyAbeyie

Wait wtf, Buendia doesn’t look like it's happening?

Edit: Holy shit, Aston Villa? If we don’t get Ødegaard nor Buendia that's such an embarassing situation for this club. Fuck this.

Clrnc

De Paul is going to Atleti isn't it as a replacement for Saul who is Bayern bound

lorddulaarsenal

Got a feeling we’ll sign Hakan Calhanoglu

Coombs

I'm going full chicken little. This thread reads like a sick joke.

We signed Xhaka AFTER we pulled out of a deal for Kante, because we didn't want to spend an extra 10m on his agent fees.

QuincyAbeyie

I honestly don’t understand. I haven't even watched Buendia play that much, but is he actually choosing Aston Villa over us? Ffs, we were just laughing at how Aston Villa were no competition for us regarding keepong ESR.

He's not at the top of my list but he fits the financial profile. That said I don't see him joining us without CL football as being the biggest issue.
