That was my first thought and I hoped that it was true and they "gazump" us for his signature.
The Jan Tran
Eriksen would be an upgrade on Xhaka.
Don't even play in same position...
some houseboaty whispers of a move for vinicius. he's more of a wide forward than a striker though right?
Erikson would be such a poor move, and another action that draws me further from the manager.
All I can bare to think about right now is lightening the squad. I hope that Barcelona end up pulling for Mustafi over Rudiger. I hope Sokratis is bought out, and that Macey, Kolasinac are sold too, with one of Saliba/Chambers going on loan.
Is there truth to Torriera's loan being cut short? If so I'd like to know how that affects us. Hopefully Torino can come back in if so.

The Real Madrid kid? He's a winger but could never seem them loaning him
Mind posting the source?
It was in The Star.
It seems strange. The one fixture in the Madrid attack is Benzema who is operating as a 9/10 and stitching everything together. Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr and Vazquez are rotated around him. Mariano is a bit part player and Odegaard has been out last 2 months with injury. Hazard/Jovic have flopped.
Given that set of circumstances, I’m not sure Real have the flexibility to let either of these kids go. And from our end, we don’t have the capacity to be developing kids for other teams when Nelson and ESR also need development. The only player we can realistically get from them is Jovic.
Milan have been grooming Jovic for a couple months now. His best mate Rebic is also there, one choice for him as it is there
Vinicius has been seriously inconsistent but he's still far too talented. Maybe another two year loan like Ceballos but unlike the latter I can't see Madrid selling him to us
Linked to Vinicius
Yes please. Raw but has that penetrative power we sorely lack
LW is hardly a need for us with Saka/Gabi/ESR.
Need to go big for a CM to get the most out of Partey.
Best outcome for January is something like
In: Bissouma
Out:
Mustafi: Barcelona
Xhaka: Inter
Sokratis / Ozil: anywhere really.
Loans out:
Nelson
Saliba

Not enough IN / creativity.
Saw a headline suggesting Norwich is looking at potential replacements for Buendia.
AFC Bell is linking us to Eric Garcia, if that link is legit Arteta should be sacked on the spot.
And if it isn't he should be sacked on the spot.
How does Eric Garcia compare to Saliba? Two 19 year old right sided defenders.
Eric Garcia. The Runar Runarsson of centrebacks
Every time I've seen him play he looks slow, weak and frankly shit. He might be better suited to play in Spain but fuck me would be pissed off if we went for him.
Tailor made for Arsenal then
Have to think this Jan Tran makes or breaks Arteta and Edu.
Can't be fuffing this one up. There will be some tolerance for not moving players on, but any incoming player will have to immediately add value in a needed position (RB / CM and I suppose CB)
If we sign another CB as average as this Garcia he should just go, plus Edu.
As far as Im concerned, unless its an elite CB, we should not be signing anymore CB.
