Phew, thought it was an injury.

Not that bothered to be honest. Get Rice back in 6, keep Partey for a year and buy a more attacking midfielder. Wirtz is the dream, Cunha will more than do.

Must be the easiest bait to write about. We can’t officially finalize it so the deal is currently in limbo.

Arsenal and Madrid fans will be engaged massively.

Please and thank you Real :handshake:

Meltdown incoming when this guy signs for those galactic, gazumping twats.

Why would anyone have a meltdown over not signing this guy?

He’s a good player but not worth caring for if we don’t get him

Judging by the Liverpool fan reaction when the news broke about them ā€˜losing him to Arsenal’, I imagine it’d be the same amongst our fanbase. Especially as we need a new 6 with Partey and Jorginho likely to exit.

Signing quality 6s is one of the hardest positions to fill in football.

Replacing Partey or Jorginho will be very difficult.

@The_Invincibles probably will. :rofl:

Seriously though, not sure there will be meltdowns but I can see some people being annoyed if we don’t end up signing him.

Until there’s pen to paper and Zubimendi is posing with an Arsenal shirt on arsenal.com, this move ain’t done, especially with Madrid lurking and looking at DLPs.

We made headway for Vitor Reis in the background as well and he ended up at City. Things can change.

Just to confirm…I will absolutely have a meltdown if we don’t sign Zubimendi this summer! He is a player I desperately want and I think we need.

If we do sign him, and he is as good as I think he will be, and you’re all waxing lyrical about him, I just hope you all remember that I told you so…

Equally, if he’s shit, I’ll gladly hold my hands up and hang my head in shame.

I do think that we have this deal done though.

A load of bollocks designed to build some kind of rivalry amongst fans before we play each other in the champions league.

Moises Caicedo part 2.

Oh right, you had a fixation for Caicedo, right @The_Invincibles ?

I won’t be disappointed if we miss out. Certainly no meltdown.

I’ve always had my doubts, and feel he’d be a better player if he had an L after the B in his surname.

Hopefully not because we’re signing him!

Yeah I was pretty gutted we didn’t sign him and Rice, but I wanted Rice over Caicedo. I still think there is a very good player there but Zubimendi is a far superior player, so it is all about him now for me…I’ve moved on :grinning:

I know Partey could get us some good vertical passes, but defensively, we really need someone good to defend, which Rice is better than Zubi.
