Amazing we have managed to let his value go lower.
The Jan Tran
Just goes to show all these guys are genuinely shit.

Stunk the place out in Madrid but will returneth to resurrect his Arsenal career Elneny stylee
Perfect, we have an urgent need for more #10s.
Torreira - Guendouzi pairing might not be any worse than Xhaka-Ceballos 
Garbage source. He's been decent for them, not going to replace Koke or Saul any time soon but he's getting game time
This might be the perfect time to get Castrovilli.
Fiorentina have been dragged in a relegation dogfight and results are not improving under the returning, Cesare Prandelli.

would be ideal. him and Partey in the new year would give us a stable base to build around. no more centre mids nestling between the centre backs
From the article I posted in The Wish List
Yves Bissouma, Emi Buendia and Michael Olise.

But he was scouted by the genius with the diamond eye...
What’s Boulaye Dia like?
@lorddulaarsenal wrote:What’s Boulaye Dia like?
Earnest, strong, kick-and-run player. Not sure he knows how to jump. Takes pens, padding his stats.
Should be well down our list, I'd imagine, if he's even really on it.
Tar. Looks a bit raw from the clips on Youtube.
Hmm what to do about the striker situation
So there might be something in the Torreira story. Arteta was asked about it and said he won't comment on his return and that Edu si dealing with it.
We are now linked with a move for FC Porto's attacking midfielder Fabio Vieira.
This is the first season where he has really into the first team.
Seems to have a decent goalscoring record on youth football.

Upamecano is going to Bayern. Thankful United isnt getting him
Update on Upamecano, Jan is saying different things from Athletic. And he normally don't speak on transfers unless he have good sources like Xhaka to Arsenal in the past
Upamecano - Gabriel partnership would be disgusting.
I would do unspeakable things to see that happen
Only way Upacamano (or any centre back) makes sense is if you sell Holding and Chambers in the summer.
No thanks to Upamecano

Okay? Is there supposed to be a dilemma here?
If we're buying Upamecano (we won't) it better not be at the expense of someone who'd make our attacking play less awful.

I'd keep him to convert him to DM where he got POTY at Fulham.
He can play a few positions, so if we could unload Cedric and Kolasinac instead it may be worth keeping him as another utility man, but I doubt he’d want to stick around for that.

I'd start him as DM unless we signed Bissouma, as I want the likes of Partey & Willock to share the B2B role (presuming AMN is used to replace Bellerin as RM), with a #8/10 in the other CM position.
Not only does he give us the options of one less position/player to sign, but both he and Elneny as DMs are able to drop in between the CBs to form a back3 when required in game to provide width when playing a high line.
Oahu do you guys want to hold onto big squads? You need to start focusing on the starting 11 that is going to get us back up the table. Fill it out with the kids and one or two other reputable players. This long tail of guys we can’t tell apart like all the lesser Hollywood Chrises needs to go to Burnley and Newcastle.
We actually do need our own Bruno type signing. 6 months ago I felt we just needed a silkier creative player to help transition the ball a bit better through the middle, but now we actually do need an individual creative powerhouse ala de Bruyne or Bruno. Buendias creative numbers look good but he doesn't offer much goal threat
Linked with Shaktar’s Manor Solomon - a left winger
Probably won’t make any blockbuster signings in January but if we come out of the window with a left winger, a creative mid and another good centreback we’d be doing very well
Left wing options - Gabriel Veron, Manor Soloman
Creative Mid - Szoboszlai, Buendia, Fabio Vieira
Centreback - gawd knows
We have two of the most promising left wingers in world football. It'd be madness to waste money on a new one.
Concerning to me that we are again linked with a player who is declining, unwanted at the current club and on massive wages.

Well we need homegrown players. So Holding and Chambers should be amongst the last shipped out. Right now Holding is our second best centre half, even if Saliba comes good or you sign another centre half it makes sense to have players like Holding and Chambers in the squad rather than Luiz, Sok, Mustafi, etc I also trust both to not cause trouble and give 100% which is something that can't be said for a lot of our players.

Oh a near 30 year old who's in decline that no big club wants, get that man on a massive wage and a long contract ASAP, what could go wrong.
I would take Isco on a low fee even if he is on relatively high wage, like a James deal as a backup plan. He will easily be better than James.
Manor Solomon on the other hand, would be a really really good signing. Impressed with him a lot in the 2 games against Real Madrid, and he was brilliant for Israel too in the qualifying matches
No thanks to Isco
Isco is done and dusted. Busted. Spanish Eriksen.
isco is the kind of hustling backwards signing we need to avoid
He’s an Inter Milan signing. They’re a retirement home. They’re worse than us and United. They even have a decent defender who never plays.
Matheus Pereira would be an excellent signing.
Damn . Out of 17, only 1 is good enough.
