Wishlist signing in my eyes. If we had him available this season, I’d make is title favourites. Think he’s top quality.
Him, Partey, Jorginho, Xhaka, Vieira and Odegaard - inject it into my veins. El Nenny, Patino, ESR and Lokonga on the periphery. Shaping up very nicely.
I am strongly of the view we won’t sign him. The leak of our interest so early on, the likely PL competition for him, the vast price tag. I just don’t see us doing it.
then we’d better have some alternatives…
Caicedo won’t be cheap, SMS wont’ be cheat… I don’t even think ESR can survive there while rumors saying Arteta tries to convert him to be a CM…
Yeh I was going to say that it all depends on how much the player wants to come here but after the absolute farce of that Mudryk deal I’m not sure what to believe anymore with these things.
Rice would fit in here with our young star studded generation of players so if he’s smart he’ll make the right choice
Looked good last night
Tall, strong, great in the tackle and popped up with a goal
Id be happy to have him as a cover for Partey
With Bellingham, hes a much more progressive forward running player, he would be more of the Xhaka role replacement so I can see it being one or the other, rolewise I mean, not players.
