Is Edu going to get meme status like Raul?

If Edu pulls these off, I'll start putting his name to the left of Vieira's whenever referring to the default Invincibles XI.

although now we're supposedly looking for 'something different' with more technical/ball playing ability = Lokonga.

Is he right or is Zaha now Willian territory?

If we're losing out on Buendia @ 35m we're not going to be signing Zaha who will cost similar.

If Buendia was planB to Odegaard, then we're now looking at planC & for mind Zaha doesn't fit the criteria to be a creative force in the final 3rd.
My bet is we're penny pinching and trying to stretch a restricted budget, so it will be more about getting the right types of players rather than about being top quality.

I wouldn't be surprised if we continued the youth theme with an approach to Reading for Olise as he only has 1 year left on contract.
Likewise WBA will reportedly let Periera go if they receive an offer for around 15m.

Fuck sake.

Linked to Ruben Neves now

Is it too much to ask for some mobile technically adept players?

lorddulaarsenal

Xhaka downgrade

No keen on Neves. Would rather be chancing it on Aouar if we're going to be spending that kind of money.

I suspect that PL experienced may also be a priority for our transfer activity this summer.

If we're raiding the bargain bins we can't afford to also then have players needing to adapt to anything other than a new team, which can be mitigated by pre-season.

Also note the article says Edouard will be joining LCFC = another one bites the dust.

If Neves is valued at over 30m with having 2 years left on his contract, then we won't be signing him.

Ray

Neves would be ideal. Especially at that price.

lorddulaarsenal

Not bothered about Edouard going to Leicester. Would prefer to stick with what we have.

Kel Varnsen

Neves is a perfect match with Arteta's shit football.

Edouard + Soumare for a combined 35m pounds is amazing business. We will look back at it 1 year later and ask how did Leicester get those signings again.

Yep.

I don’t think we can do these moves as easily. There needs to be a whole pivot from the club.

acceptance that targeting these types of players is riskier
that risk means you necessarily need to have a fluid team that constantly makes space for new recruits, even if you aren’t focused on selling for profit
higher squad turnover also means that you need to have a strong selling team.
in order to go find these players you need to have the right people in place - scouts and analysts. Relationships with the big agents are less important here
etc.

It just requires a different approach. United, for example, just need to have the ability to negotiate with the key agents around Europe because they can afford any player and don’t have to worry about profit on disposals. Having scouts who know the next big thing is immaterial
