RocktheCasbah Yeah, Its just I am not sure how he would fit in tactically hence i said 'irrational'. Agree on everything else you said. Would be a great story and very special if we end up winning the PL with him in the team.
Wishlist 2022/2023
Lunin
Simons
Olise
Nico Williams
Xavi Simons
Youssouf Fofana
Desire Doue
FDJ or Guimaraes
Back-up goalie if Rambo leaves
That's it.
Yeah we need a bit more than a Partey replacement and a backup goalie to overhaul 115 plus FC.
5 days later
Just throw everything we got at Joao Neves? Looking forward to watching more of him tonight.
Segway you want to throw £250m at him?
lorddulaarsenal Yep, just to make sure we get the deal over the line.
I would be very intrigued if we could somehow end up the summer with:
Joao Neves
Amadou Onana
Nico Williams
Neves to be the technical complement to Rice and develop into a world class partnership. Onana to provide duel winning in tough away games as a partner for Rice and deputize for him when he needs rest. Nico to provide much needed transition threat in behind and competition for Martinelli/rotation for Saka. It certainly wouldn't be cheap but probably could get all three in for 210m (120m RC Neves, 50m Onana, 40m RC Nico).
That’d be a lovely summer.
Prefer to get Desire Doue for that winger spot mind you
Javi Guerra
Do people like Williams better now?
Feeling pretty justified in my love of Nico Williams now. Get him in Arteta!
samthegooner Especially when Olise only moved for 50m. We better be in for him
lorddulaarsenal
Doue seems more like an 8.
————————Raya
White—-Saliba——Gabriel—-Timber
————-———-Rice
————Odegaard——Eze
Saka———-Havertz———Williams
We like?
No. Midfield isn't passy enough.
Yeah we need someone with a bit more metronomic passing ability sitting at the base of that midfield than Rice.
We need a Vitinha type in midfield.
