but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
Barcelona do not want Guendouzi. What a silly rumour.
He's an Arsenal squad man ffs. Good potential, nothing more.

Yeah I guess just don't know how you can walk into a dressing room and being taken seriously while acting like a kinder garden pet on your free time.I'm not into it either, but acting silly for fun is the point of it. It's a bit ridiculous that we expect young footballers to put on a rigid, serious façade at all times. It's not that deep. Bit annoying, sure, but nothing to get upset about.
Also, Trump looking to shut down TikTok has nothing to do with the silliness. It's because it's China-based. Part of the larger shut down against Chinese companies holding data - Huawei was included as well.
Well, if he was the first one ever to from a two-man central midfield to a three then maybe, just maybe, your point would have some bearing. Most players can play a couple of different positions and when the only change is going from playing defensive cm to dm, or maybe lcm/rcm in a three then it sort of doesn’t apply. He made the transition from RB to CM quite brilliantly
You and and your bum squad never learn do you? You were doing this when Emery was going on his bum unbeaten run, look how that ended for you?
You and your bum squad also hyped up Luiz. Constantly collecting L’s.
Ah, yes I’m sorry. I thought I did but can see now that my answer was implied and clear enough. To put it more expressively; I don’t think your question holds any relevance as it’s pretty much the same role he’s playing now, albeit in another formation. And if you don’t accept that/agree, then my answer is that he would make the transition just fine as he 1) is playing pretty much the same role he would in a midfield three (this is the holding mid/dm to be clear, but i think he would manage to play on either side as well) and 2) he’s historically showed that he can successfully transition between roles and show tactical understanding of different positions.You haven’t answered the question.
Why? The injury problems?Barca needs money and cashing in on Coutinho is far easier than doing so for someone like Dembele.
biggest flop in history is a tad unfair to say the least.Guendouzi is a 30m player at best (personally I would argue he's not worth more than 20m which apparently gets you Ceballos)..... this swap deal makes Coutinho the biggest flop in football transfer history. Barca would have thrown 80 million into the drain because of him. We would be insane not to take that deal if Barca really offered it to us. But there's little chance of that deal happening cause Barca needs money and cashing in on Coutinho is far easier than doing so for someone like Dembele.
Not just the stat DNA test, he passes the youtube highlights test well.So Beundia would be a great stat DNA signing? That's what I'm getting from this. As stated I like him, but I would be much more excited by Coutinho.
Özil stopped caring, Mkhi didn't meet expectations, maybe 3rd time lucky with Coutinho.
Where's the next Ronaldinho at, or was he just a total one-off? That boy broke through over 20 years ago and still there's been no one like him.
I’m sorry, but the stat comparisons you’ve provided mean nothing when you’ve quite correctly mentioned that Buendia is playing a different position. Look at his skillset and think how that would translate when playing in our midfield three. I highly doubt that his chance creation would be as high as it is currently, bearing in mind that he’s positioned higher up the field and playing against pretty open opponents who have looked to take the game to Norwich.
He does. Maybe we should go back to the "We don't sign superstars, we make them" strategy. I'm just concerned that he probably won't add enough goals himself.Not just the stat DNA test, he passes the youtube highlights test well.

I actually think Pepe is the closest thing I’ve seen since Ronaldinho. The silky tricks and feints are reminiscent of a prime Ron. Just a shame he lacks the footballing brain, finesse and magic touch to go with it.
Neymar is the closest. Pepe isn't anywhere as natural on the ball as the Brazilians.
@Toby Andrl was also one of the few posters who actively wanted Emery as a Wenger replacement though.Got to say I remember @Toby Andrl took an absolute hammering on here in the Emery unbeaten run when he was criticising the direction the club was going in.
He was years ahead of the curve ffs.
How come nobody has signed this guy yet? He looks better than Coutinho ffsNot just the stat DNA test, he passes the youtube highlights test well.
Think it's the stigma of being associated with the last placed team. Though Liverpool picked Robertson from a relegated Hull showing that quality is there even in relegated teams. We have to be fast if we ever expect to compete again.How come nobody has signed this guy yet? He looks better than Coutinho ffs
