mdgoonah41 feels like he's been 24 for the last 5 years, but that somewhat speaks to the fact he stalled a bit in his late 20s. still a good player, but bayern aren't exactly clamouring to keep him
[Toni Juanmartí] Mikel Arteta has already communicated to Real Sociedad midfielder, Mikel Merino, his strong desire to bring him to Arsenal. The player finds the Gunners proposal attractive, but still a deal is without significant progress. from Diario SPORT. Not a great source
HomeSteak Ah, the old "sign yourself" manoeuvre by Arteta ... seems a little desperate to be honest.
Haha, there are some striking similarities.
In all seriousness though, he looks a very good player and a good fit as the number 8.
For that price he’s a no brainer
Would be a great signing for me. Have been wishlisting him for many years now here - I genuinely prefer him over Zubimendi (age apart). A little older than ideal but it’s ok given the overall profile of our squad.
Havent noticed him much is he really that good?
As a T signing this works.
Qwiss By the looks of it Plan A is an elite midfielder plus forward reinforcements, and Plan B is a dynamic forward, hang onto Partey and get in a bloke like this to cover the 50% of the season Partey is offline. Then there's the open question of left back.
Seemed more dynamic than Zubimendi in the way he gets around the pitch. I like that he's very much a midfielder rather than an attacker playing in midfield.
JazzG Sounds fair given that Chelsea signed a youth from Villa for 20m.

Reliable for Dutch and Belgian players, he broke the Lokonga news way before anyone else got a sniff. Maybe something in this
Interesting. I wishlisted Bakayoko before because of his performances against us for PSV where he was such a threat. It would be good to have a proper rotation option for Saka.
definitely looks like a doku regen
HomeSteak 23 and less than a full season in the Spanish second tier.
If true, presume he'd be 3rd choice?
The New Almunia
Funny how all the Calafiori rumours come out after that goal.
Qwiss He also said pretty clearly he only wants to go to Juve. When you're Italian, that usually means you're a cunt

1) Player plays well 2) Get him linked to top clubs 3) Drive some social media clicks 4) ??? 5) Profit
