Houssem Aouar

Sicario

Interesting.

jones

Talent wise Grealish and Aouar shouldn't even be named in the same sentence.

FEBravo

How about "Aouar is much more talented than Grealish."?

jones

Fair enough, still far too little space between the names. Add some 20x more muchs in there

Lequipe reporting we tried guendo + cash but it was rebuffed out of hand.

No-one is interested in that deal 😆

QuincyAbeyie

Really hope it's true as it means we're trying to get Aouar.

Aouar would be a tier 1 signing. Him and Partey transform our midfield overnight. Add Upamecano to the mix and I'm happy to take a chance with adding no one else to our attack.

Wonder if RB Liepzig would consider Laca as a makeweight in any potential Upamecano offer? Considering they have lost Timo Werner.

We really need to liquidate Torreira, Guendouzi, Chambers, Sokratis, Lacazette as soon as possible to take advantage of a possible buyers market.

The fact that we are interested in him fills me confidence that we are trying to sign the right players

Would be stellar really. Arteta is going to demand highly technical players in that midfield. We can try to play with the typical Torreira, Ramsey types we’ve had. We need players who will be able to work in small spaces and distribute. The fastest way to move the ball is with a solid, crisp pass. That’s what we need to get right first with the midfield. And then have some athletes around.

wouldn't that be out of character for them ... a washed up player with no resale value.

Wow. Are we really targeting the right players this summer?

ohboy

Good sign that we are targeting Aouar

Bad sign that seemingly no one wants to take on Guendouzi

Bayern (and of course many other club) has shown us that we really need great athletes, agile players in at least 6 to 7 positions. We are severely lacking on that front. People like Pepe who have pace have no physicality and power. We need the latter more. Willian is somewhat in the right direction.

ohboy

I think athleticism is badly needed, and it starts in midfield and at the back. Saliba is a great start, Partey will be great as well, but we do need a more. The CB next to Saliba will be vitally important.

Looking at Barca yesterday, not only were the full backs destroyed, but once they were, the CB’s couldn’t make a tackle or stem the tide.

You need pace and physicality at the back, in today’s game

lorddulaarsenal

Not sold on Aouar.

Looks like he has flashes of brilliance but overall he’s not scratching that attacking mid itch for me

KingslandBarge

Good sign indeed. Amusing that we went in before tonight's game in case a good performance increases leverage.

Guendouzi is a great talent. I am confident he'll serve makeweight somehow.

Claudius

If anybody can get a multiple on Guendouzi it’s Aulas. The key is he needs to get him at a good valuation. So I doubt he takes him for more than £25m, giving him room to develop and shift him for £50m in 2 to 3 years. So that would require a £25m pay-in from us for Aouar.

GooneriC

We really shouldn't mess around , get this guy and Partey , get rid of some players and aim big.

Clrnc

He's the missing link to enable us to play a real 433. Just do it. 60m

Claudius

They allegedly value him at £45. Just get a fucking loan and do it. He will always outgrow the loan in value. We are going to wake up one day to find that Barca or Juve are rebuilding around him cos we were busy lowballing with Guendouzi plus one pound offers
