Who the hell is Harry Pratt?
Heās arguably their best asset, why the hell would they sell him for only Ā£30m?
Because city, Chelsea, United arenāt interested.

I donāt understand all the hate for Bissoumaā¦a Bissouma-Partey pivot would be a very strong central midfield and would allow our attacking players to focus on what they are good atā¦I really rate this guy and want us to make a bid for him in the summer.

I think some people donāt like the idea of signing a player from Brighton because we used to sign players from big clubs and Brighton are neither big nor successful right now.
Our bigger problem is creativity imo and idk how Bissouma solves that.
Because Bissoumaās passing is atrocious. Partey is actually a much better passer than most give him credit for but Bissouma should be used as only a holding midfielder who wins the ball and recycles to someone who can progress the ball. 30m is such a fucking waste on a player as limited as Bissouma but Arsenal gonna Arsenal.
This would be depressing afā¦Partey is a G tho Mikel has just ruined him.

??? Ok how aboutā¦Henry, Pires, Vieira, and all the other great Arsenal players who no one had heard of before they signed for usā¦Playing for Brighton means he is PL ready for next season. Personally I think he would be a great holding midfielder for us and would allow Partey a bit more freedom. He would represent a big upgrade on Elneny and provide competition for Xhaka. He is also a good age with a lot of potential - there is a reason so many clubs are interested in him!
I also disagree with the creativity point now that we are playing 4-2-3-1 - we have the players in the squad atm to create enough chances but I do hope we strengthen further with Buendia in the summer.
I would be happy for Bissouma to sit in front of the back four, alongside Partey and allow our creative players to do what they do best. It will also allow our full backs to attack, without leaving ourselves too open to the counter attack. Partey and Bissouma would be a beast of a midfield pivot - it has been a long time since we had two hard hitting central midfielders.

Well I guess we found Artetaās OA account.
Heās not well rounded enough. We already have a limited midfielder in Xhaka at the club. Iām not a fan of ābeast midfieldsā, itās too agricultural for me.

Way cooler player than Elneny, Xhaka or Ceballos. Heās been really good everytime Iāve watched him this season and he was fantastic against us.
Honestly people really donāt think heād improve us
Man this isnāt what heās all about at all heās actually very well rounded in attack and in defense, honestly some games he looks like a less flair, more hard grafting Pogba, in others you can see shades of Wijnaldum. He has really nice ball carrying close control too ala Dembele at Spurs.
Heās a little raw no doubt but coming from Brighton heāll be eager to succeed and prove himself, heās an interesting player and far more than just your typical run hard tackle hard archetype people seem to think he is.

Nah this isnāt it. There are plenty of players from lesser clubs Iād happily sign. I just donāt think Bissouma is what we need. And if he was, there are better options out there.
Heās a fine player, no offence to him. He probably is above Brighton level. But heās not right for us IMO.

What donāt you like about him and who would you prefer in that position? Heās far more combative and aggressive than any of our midfielders winning way more tackles and interceptions than any of ours. His close control, dribbling and pace is top quality. He has a good range of passing.
Yeah, Iām not saying he is rubbish. Just donāt think he should be a priority. But in terms of other players like him, well even someone like Berge would be cheaper. Not that I want him either.
The player I keep hearing a lot about in that position is the guy from Lille. SoumarĆ©? I havenāt watched him so I donāt know if he is any good. But fans rave about him.

Bissouma is a fine player, but I donāt want Arteta to be given any money, let alone Ā£30m.
And we have other needs.
