The only thing annoys me that we are going to spend 20m for him, and at the same time, we will only get the same amount for Xhaka. As it stands, I rather keep Xhaka than selling him cheap.
We signing another midfielder along with him. Xhaka want to leave and in big wages that's why we not getting much.The only thing annoys me that we are going to spend 20m for him, and at the same time, we will only get the same amount for Xhaka.

I think if you sign this guy for 20M you shouldn't go and get someone like Locatelli who'll need to adapt as well, Neves seems like the perfect fit if we want a Xhaka replacement.
20M ain't cheap so you'd expect this guy to play a lot of ball.
So he is more a Bissouma type of player than a Box-to-Box Player like Willock, right?
Yes in article it said not only Arsenal want him so if we not give him what he anderlecht want we might lose out.According from what I hear, we (RSCA) rejected a similar bid from Leverkusen.
so a gamble rather than the safer proven option. tbh we are in a position to gamble. Its not like we have any pressure on us to do well. If our manager can keep his job with our worst season in 25 years. The standards has fallen off. I am not against youngster coming in as a backup. But as first choice hmmm and if we get him for 20 million euros I dont see another midfielder coming in. Xhakas replacement this one. We have no European football next season so no need for massive squadPretty much. A Bissouma before Bissouma became Bissouma in the premier league.

Supplementing the transfer budget with sales is saying we partly need to sell to buy. Which is fine, because we have a lot of **** players we need to move on anyway.
Our sales will not be significant so I'm sceptical of the idea we will be going big, and you should be too, you've been an arsenal fan long enough to know better.
Of more concern is that if we chase someone like Ben White (PL premium) in a position that is not urgent, than we won't have the money to make the investments in the areas that do need significant upgrade (CM, CAM)

We have Azeez as well and as I say we could potentially have only 40 games next season. All I know is the squad will be trimmed quite a bit for next season and we may even promote couple of kids like Azeez and BolugonXhaka, Guendouzi and AMN will bring in around £50m. If they decide to move on Willock that will be another £25m. Then you’ve got Bellerin.
If he’s our only signing in midfield we’d literally be left with Lokonga and Willock (if he’s still here) as our only midfield options for 4 weeks. Not happening.

Very good profile for a young player honestly. What I had hoped Guendouzi would be. If we sell Guendouzi for 12-15m and get Lokonga for 15-18m that would be a good scenario. I was quite worried about our lack of depth at '6'.
I never seen him play, but yeah on paper looks very interesting player and worth taking a chance onVery good profile for a young player honestly. What I had hoped Guendouzi would be.
