He's 18. Looks like he might have an Iniestaesque receding hairline in a few years, he's got time to develop.

Great if we're proactive behind the scenes and all this isn't media clicks and agent bait. Still a fan of getting Oyarzabal for the LCM slot!

Definitely wouldn't mind Eze lorddulaarsenal would like a tenacious, technically assured goal threat and think he suits that. Looks to be coming back into regular flow with 5 odd goals in the last month.

    sociedad have quite a few players that would be good for us. kubo as saka depth, oyazarbal as 8/10 depth, and zubimendi to relegate jorginho and elneny to the bench forever

      Gazza M I have been watching them quite a bit and Arsen Zakharyan, Barrenetxea both caught my eye too. Need to keep an eye on those 2 young starlets

          He played perfectly fine yesterday as he did in the same fixture last season.

          He’s absolutely fine as a squad player but the problem is Thomas Partey being out meaning he’s playing too many games.

            We absolutely need a number 6 in January. Partey can't be relied on the midfield depth isn't sufficient to make up for his absence. We need a CF too and a winger but if we don't fix midfield first nothing else is going to work.

              Fluminese just won the Copa Libertadores last night. The Brasilerao Serie A season finishes in December. We've been linked with Andre Trindade who I believe could do a job providing depth at the base of our midfield. Edu was in Brasil in October and met with Fluminese. Hopefully all that equates to some reinforcement in Jan. Not that I am tickled by the player.

              No to Luiz , too small too slow too weak. Need a Rice or Partey type midfielder.

              I think he's improved quite a bit this season. Haven't watched Aston Villa that much though.
