That all looks good on paper but I have concerns over Zinchenkoās fitness. It means we probably default to starting Timber at leftback over Tierney and then canāt really rotate White out of the side.
Tomiyasu offers flexibility and doesnāt really change the way we play to the same degree Tierney does.
I guess maybe weād still have Kiwior to play leftback as well.
sometimes it is not about who is doing a favor for whom, it is about what we need and what we want.
of course, it is just a rumor at this point; but if Arteta thinks Barella fits to our system and wants him, why not?
Didnāt we do a favor to Chelsea for Kai, and do a favor to WH for Rice? We hugely overpaid them.
If we are talking about 80m value for Barella, we simply should be back out.
but if we are talking about 5m differenceā¦ like I said, why not?
We were linked with Benjamin Henrichs(Leipzig) and Ben Johnson(West Ham) after the signings of Rice, Havertz and Timber.
Be interesting to see if those names pop up again. Henrichs specifically is a very versatile player. Iām not too familiar with him to be honest with you but he seems to have been regarded as a wonderkid previously. Heās 26 now.
