JazzG Yep we need a maverick on the left, even if it means they’re a little more of a passenger out of possession. I think the reason Arteta loves Williams so much is that he does work hard OOP but if we can’t get him, I think I’d rather get a true transition monster like Leao or Gittens than someone like Rodrygo. We need a dribbler on the left that truly scares teams and prevents them from selling out on stopping Saka.
Burnwinter from what I’ve read (and who knows if it’s true), if we can get Zubimendi over the line prior to June 1st then it counts for last seasons financial reporting and wouldn’t eat into this summers budget. I think that’s also why we are okay with just paying the lump sum release clause since we clearly had money left from last summer.
