Hi from Portugal
Looks like he has a similar play style to Saka
Should have signed Minteh from Newcastle if this is the profile of player we're going for.
One to keep an eye on - talk is we are looking at this chap
Well want Mikel Merino to sign to bolster the midfield. Then I well want another option for the wing especially to be able to rest Saka.
Doue, Andriga, Baris, Asprilla, Sane all decent options.
But if we can go get Nico Williams
Sicario2 - Tier 1 not that it cannot be true but...some context
And to save you 2 minutes, this is the guy reporting this....yeah, he heard it from "some fans that were on the USA tour who asked Edu about transfers". So this is about as reliable as Robbie from AFTV reporting it, probably even less
Hand hovering over the zipper
Elite winger. Fitness a concern but he’d be just the ticket
Yeah, a ticket for the treatment room. My God, no thanks. Elite winger? Never scored more than 10 goals in any season he has ever played in his career. Has played more than 24 league games once, and that was like 4 seasons ago. Would be shocked and frankly disappointed if this has any truth to it. Hard pass for me. (and from what im reading, PSG is the only team to show actual interest)
Beats his man consistently on the inside our outside, would love him here. He may not score a lot but he can cause havoc and create chances.
Some kind of loan fee based on appearances is fine. Otherwise not worth it, he makes Tomiyasu look indestructible.
Mirth wouldn't take him. Amazing that Bayern have had to depend on Coman, Gnabry and Sane in the last few years. They each end up with 2/3 of a season missed at some point or consistently.
Mikel Recalde] Zubimendi and Merino are entering the decisive week. Real are doing everything possible to ensure that at least one of the two stays and thus avoid a serious setback in the sporting aspect
Always thought Merino flopped at Newcastle but judging from his highlights reel he looked okay actually
Clrnc you could make anyone look decent in one of those highlight reels. He wasn't good for Newcastle. That was 6 years ago though, he's learned a lot since then.
Edu flew to Malaga today. This could be our boy.
lorddulaarsenal what does flying to malaga have to do with seville?
From the Ahteltic today, gunnerblog and some guy James:
Real Sociedad have not received an offer from Arsenal for Merino. Arteta is enamoured with the player but the club are still considering whether to push ahead with a transfer. Real Sociedad would like to keep both Zubimendi and Merino but, if he declines Sociedad's offer to extend, they will have little choice but to sell. Merino would cost in the region of €30m. Arsenal are long-term admirers of Zubimendi but decided against pursuing a deal and shifted their focus onto signing a different profile of midfielder, one that Merino fits. Arsenal's priority is to sign a midfielder, Merino or an alternative. Arsenal are hoping to sign a forward but that would most probably require further sales to happen.

"enamoured" lol. that is 100% from the werido gunnerblog
He hasn't a clue. He's just spouting opinions based on the same info as us 90% of the time.
Was talking to our neighbour over the fence the other week and she said Mikel was enraptured by Merino’s performances at the Euros
