Bissouma at #10 needed.

Heās not even a strict defensive midfielder though, he has someone beside him to play that role. Heās a progressive and combative box to box. Heās exactly the type of profile weāre crying out for and a more realistic option than Camavinga.
Iāve seen a few members get what heās about but for the most part people are just ignorant towards what type of player he is.
I remember last time he was brought up months ago you got annoyed because he was portrayed at your typical athletic beast CDM in the media. Stereotypes aside youāre correct heās much more elegant and well rounded than people give him credit for and Iād much rather have an 8 like him than Ceballos or Ramsey.
This idea that heās a brain dead CDM just aināt it.

I worry Arteta is so cautious that heāll force him to play as a CDM. Whatās better than having destroyed Parteyās ability to float in midfield? Destroying another playerās ability to float in midfield and play him with Partey to make sure we are always secure at the back.

Yes a progressive midfielder who doesnāt progress the ball, just what we fucking need!! Lmaoooo.
Reality is transfers are a crap shoot many a time. I still remember the whole argument here about Morgan Schneiderlin ppl swore he was gonna be the next big thing, I have a bad memory so I forget who was stanning him so hard 
donāt expect much from Arteta no matter who we buy heās gonna fuck them up. However the type of player ur saying he is, is a myth. Ppl swore Partey was a destroyer but between he and Koke he was always the more creative player, and heās come here and shown his passing and dribbling skills but not so much his defensive ability.

Will almost certainly be a flop, through no fault of his own as well.
If he even is any good, Arteta will see to that very quickly.

Iāll own that and I still maintain Wenger would have turned him into a top player. Would have turned out far better than Xhaka anyway.

Xhaka was discount Schniederlinā¦although Schniederlin is now a discount Schniederlin.

Iām sure a lot of ppl wanted him btw but I remember a pretty fierce battle between two ppl in particular. One dood who really rated him and one who didnāt, pretty sure it was @Darkseid and @Castiel but my memory is shit so idk.
Heād make a better partner to Santi than he did to Herrera and Fellaini.

It might cost 120m but if it means going into a season without either Xhaka and Elneny starting and an attacking midfield of Grealish, ESR, Saka, with Pepe on the bench, it could be the best transfer window weāve had.

The dude who hated the idea of him was no other than footballer snob extraordinare AC-which if anything just illustrates he would have been a success here. Personally I still believe he would have been a great acquisition for us, he didnāt work out at United but thatās no real reflection on quality as you can see why so many others who have failed there recently. Iād have loved to have taken him over Xhaka.
Schniederlin is a pure anchor though and is much more like Xhaka than say Yves or Partey. And no one thought he was going to be the next big thing, just a useful player and a vast improvement on our miserable CDMās at the time. Daddy Wenger somehow went with a worse option in Xhaka and now heās sacked and weāre irrelevant.

I donāt mind him as a player, but we really need a goalscoring mid also, successful teams usually always have goals from midfield.

Sure anyone but Xhaka, and the Arsene effect would have meant he probably would have looked good here at Arsenal. However reality is the dood went to united for 40m (which for a player of this caliber is a massive waste of funds for Arsenal, see Laca, Xhaka, Mustafi) and then shortly after was sold to Evertonā¦and Everton just recently sold him for 2m to Nice. Dood is mediocre af and as much as u hate AC he was right. No reason for us to go out and buy these mediocre players for big money, especially when they are going into the hands of a football terrorist that isnāt going to hide their mediocrity only highlight it. Bissouma is never worth 30m Iād take a punt if Arsene was still our manager and we could get him for 15m or so but it will be a waste otherwise.
I canāt even with you at times man. I donāt know where you do your research or why you lack basic fact checking skills but seriously Iām going to stop answering your nonsense if you just keep pulling figures out of your ass.
He went to United for Ā£24-25m and then to Everton for Ā£22m all in all that was a fine transfer economy for United and was worth the risk. He didnāt work out but thatās more too Unitedās lack of stability than anything.
Players like Scheniderlin, Cabaye or Wijnaldum will always have the idiot elitists like you and AC turning their nose up but theyāre still the kind of players that we have been missing for years. Established internationals who knew the English game.
I get you want to give the impression youāre some sort of footballing quasi-intellectual but please stop pulling shite from thin air and dressing it up as some kind of enticing argument on footballing counter culture.
For the record I loved AC, he was great fun, I just saw through his bullshit from day one, - much like you I donāt think even watched much Premier League football towards the end as he genuinely didnāt seem to have a clue.
