Can you explain who is/isn’t starting from those 3, and why?
Zubi and sesko is who he means.
However I think Zubi will actually start and partey will be benched. Whether he performs as good, who knows, but it’s mikels boy clearly so he will shove him in the lineup.
Havertz ain’t getting dropped immediately for sesko. Rodrygo obviously starts.
What Starboy said above.
I dunno if Zubi will start straightaway from minute 1. I think he’s a good player, but nobody offers what Partey does for us in midfield imo.
Maybe Zubi will change that over time.
Sesko will likely start on the bench too, can’t see him toppling Havertz for a while.
The football space would be so much better without all those sad bastards posting shite from any source they could find and it was just left to Ornstein to post updates every once in a while

As much as I would like to see Mbuemo here, it’s unlikely we’re going to pay more than 50m for a player to sit on the bench.
But if we sign Sesko and he can’t walk straight into the first team, what’s the point of buying him?
It’s not like Havertz is a world class striker, so if we’re breaking our transfer record on an attacking player, then surely he should be at the level to walk into the first team.
I think that’s precisely why Mbeumo is prioritizing Man Utd ahead of others.
It’s the only club desperate enough to pay the fee needed, offer him superstar wages and a starting spot.

I like how no one has made a Leroy Sane thread

Arsenal battling Turkish clubs for him ffs
Erugh, why is our club after trash like Sane?
why do you believe this is more the question. If it happens it happens but i feel it is unlikely.
Sane plus another I can stomach. Sane and Sesko coming into with nothing else in the forward line would be embarrassing.

Arteta can’t be seriously considering Sane.
He hasn’t learned that ex Man City and Chelsea players are no good because he’s already signed a Chelsea reject GK and looks like he’s moving on to a Man City reject winger.
Just get what we need rather than overpaid, washed up players that have proved to be nowhere near good enough.
Has he actually said that? If I recall correctly that guy is regarded as the best source in Turkey, he’s called plenty of stuff for Fener.
It would align with what The Athletic and Ornstein mentioned about us being genuinely interested in him and also looking at cover for Saka.
The report did suggest he’s expected to stay in Germany however.
I suspect Sane is the 3rd attacker, Sesko the 1st. That’s what I’m hoping anyway.
If he comes in to provide back-up on the right and we’re getting Rodders for the left then I’ll be okay with it.

How many misses before something less jocular replaces “You Plonker”?
I will never understand what top teams see in Guehi to make him such an in-demand player.
He’s decent but he’s just nothing to write home about. I remember him coming off in the FA Cup final and thinking Palace could be in trouble since he’s their best defender and leader but they coped just fine without him too.
When Andersen was there, I always found him the better defender of the two.
