Think this is another transfer that's really going to drag on till the end of the window. Lyon are in a state financially though. Hopefully we can end up getting him for £50mish including add ons.
Good news hes banned for the dijon game on Friday only.
I want him banned until Arsenal buys him.
Kurzawa banned for six games.I want him banned until Arsenal buys him.
Partey-Ceballos-Aouar is an incredibly balanced midfield three and if we get that I back us to make top 4 under Arteta.
Only question will be about chance creation over the length of the season but with a creative winger in Willian and to a lesser extent Saka (not sure whether to include Pepe here, calling him creative seems a bit too much even if he'll hopefully be an important presence creative chances this season) and hopefully an Aouar that goes up a level creatively alongside better teammates in a more expressive set up, I think we'll just about create enough.
Xhaka in for Ceballos and I agree.
I bet you remembered, if he caught the eye in any of those games. I think it’s bizarre to call the games pointless. For ESR they are crucial games, where he has to impress.Mainly pointless cup games mate, can’t remember them off the top of my head tbh.
Ceballos is better than Xhaka at pretty much everything. He's very much a pivot player, some misconception about what type of player he is I think has confused people about how he's regarded in terms of type. He's very much like for like with Xhaka and in a 3 with a player like Aouar who likes to help out in defence and Partey a player who defends and covers ground, that's a complete midfield 3. Xhaka is just choosing the lesser player for no good reason at all. He'll get plenty of games though of course, best XIs only really happen a few times through the season anyways.
I said I don’t remember. I don’t tend to remember league cup or europa league group games. Why you so hung up on him?I bet you remembered, if he caught the eye in any of those games. I think it’s bizarre to call the games pointless. For ESR they are crucial games, where he has to impress.

Ceballos has some way to go to prove that he’s a better player than Xhaka in our team. We lack any sort of stability without Xhaka. Yes, Partey and Aouar could help us in that regard but Ceballos hasn’t yet earned the right to walk into our first team despite an encouraging end to last season. There’s also the balance that Xhaka as a left footed player offers - something that I’d imagine Arteta is very keen on what with the way he prioritised getting left footed defenders into the side.

Haha thanks mate, I actually watch him every Tuesday on Aljazeera he hosts a great intense show called Opposite directionGreat banter mate.
I’m not. Just trying to be objective in my assessment of him. I wan’t him to have all the success here, but hope and feelings doesn’t Cut it you know.I said I don’t remember. I don’t tend to remember league cup or europa league group games. Why you so hung up on him?
