Isco being linked. Atleast he’d help us retain the ball in attacking areas

-- Isco -- Ceballos--
------Partey--------

Wouldn't be bad if Ceballos sat a touch deeper than Isco to help Partey out.

Not sure if Isco still got it to be honest. Would rather have someone up and coming.

Fans are going to be asking for Isco to be sent back to Madrid in June. “He doesn’t score enough! Bleet!”

Linked with re signing Yunus Musah, whos contract runs out in 2022. England and USA also trying to persuade him to play for them.

That would be great. His bravery has been rewarded and he’s already broken into the Valencia team. He’s in an area of the team where we can use reinforcements. The sooner we get him back the better so we don’t get shanked.

Linked with Sander Berge. Yes please. He’d be excellent alongside Partey

——————Leno
Bellerin-—Konate—Gabriel—Tierney
————Berge—-Partey
—Pepe——Szobozlai—-Saka
————Aubameyang

Balanced and attainable. Not what we want long term but a big step up on where we are

Would be a long way from our midfield of lesbian midgets too. Not necessarily a good thing - Hleb, Rosicky, Santi were very skillful. Berge is 6'4 or 5.

That midfield looks decent Dules - just need to replace Pepe maybe.

Bin Xhaka.

Buy Locatelli. Locatelli - Partey will give us an all action midfield that will put us in a position to win Premier League games. Gives us flexibility to add any kind of 8 or 10 to add goals / assists ahead of them.

I liked him before he went to Sheffield. Would be a good signing and a great partner for Tom.

Still need our De Bruyne though. We've got nobody like that at all. That Hungarian footballer seems like a few years before he hits whatever his real potential is.

More than anything we need to do whatever it takes to make sure we rid ourselves of the cancerous influences of Ozil, Xhaka and Mustafi in January. Cut them loose. The sooner we do that the sooner we can get to where we want to be.

Obviously it would be nice to get some reinforcements in as well especially in the shape of some much needed creativity, but getting rid of certain bad apples should be the absolute priority for this team and manager to move forward along the process. Addition by subtraction.

Upamecano to Liverpool - good. Should be enough to help them finish above Spurs

Talk is Arteta is prioritising a centreback in January.

Good. We only have one good centreback and it really stops us playing withing confidence

I wonder what Arteta wants to do with Saliba.

I’m so mad at Arsenal. With the incredible turnover of coaches, general managers and technical directors, we’ve ended up wasting so much money on players that Arteta might not want. It’s a massive disaster. It’s the one reason I hope he’s good and we don’t have to fire him and Edu. To stop this churn and waste.

Have a feeling Saliba is a write off. Looks very unconvincing in the youth matches

I wouldn’t mind circumstances forcing him into team. I want to see what we have. Dortmund and Leipzig started playing their Drench defenders young. Fofana is playing. This kid was rated higher than almost all these guys not named Upamecano. I want to see him thrown in there. Fuck this dependence on yesterday’s nearly men and hasbeens. Across the board.

Saliba has been handled awfully, but there's time to turn it around. The problem will be if someone makes an offer and he wants to leave, arteta might just cut ties as he wasn't his choice of signing in the first place

Serious? CB is the one area we're well-stocked in and don't think that's why we're struggling right now - that's the lack of creativity.

On Saliba, the only thing that's worth being concerned about is that we couldn't get a loan back to France sorted out. Kid is obviously struggling to adapt given his parental situation and not thrusting him into the PL where we're pissing around at the moment is probably a good thing.
