ESR been done with us for a minute, if anything signing Jesus and Trossard spelled the end for him. He's never played like a midfielder, I don't know why people keep categorising him as one he's a forward.

True, all in all Trossard is quite a similar player to him at the moment. Technical wide players that play off the left.

The poverty minutes he has had in recent weeks he’s come on in one of the midfield positions tbf.

Would be happy with Mount and Rice for midfield, Rice can play 8, proper competition for Partey and both have a lot to prove at this stage of their careers. Would take 150m but I think it's worth it, we need goals from midfield which I think Mount can give us in advanced 8 position on the left.

If we get these deals done quickly we have a lot of time to try and get a ST or give Balogun a preseason, and find a RB option.

2 real quality midfielders will take us a step up as a team going into the CL.

Yeah but like you said yourself they're poverty minutes, not unlike when he played as false 9 vs Villarreal, Pepe who used to get thrown on to salvage a draw in the final seconds etc. Overall point he's very talented at being direct and cutting in towards goal, retention and circulation he's gash.

Critical of ESR and his unserious attitude myself but a manager who rotates more doesn't let it get to this point. Appreciate he spent a long time out of the picture with his injury but as it is with him being available for more than half the season and playing like two hours we should've taken Villa's money.

Doesn’t seem to be a plan imo.

Gundogan - Spectacular player, but, he wouldn’t be as impactful in our team as City’s. We need legs in midfield.

Mount - To play where exactly? If we didn’t spend 30m on Vieira and Mount was happy to play back up to Ødegaard then great, but that’s not the case.

That’s why we’re in for Rice and Mount though no?

We need alternatives to Ødegaard, think it’s gone an under the radar a bit this season how fortunate we’ve been that he’s been fit for the vast majority of it.

Ode/Mount/Gundo are CL calibre options for the 8 role.

I don’t think Gundo will happen. He’ll either resign or move abroad. As much as I like him as a player and person, I don’t think it would be a good move from us either.

As for Mount, it’s not like he’s free, he has a year left, we’d have to pay. Mount doesn’t move the needle imo, he doesn’t get us the extra points we missed this season, for me, a Caicedo does.

Do you think Caicedo is better than Partey?

How much would Mount even cost? 50 or 60M easily right?

Feel bad for sh*tting on all those guys wanting Maddison. He’s twice the player Mount is.

Athletic were saying Chelsea want £70m, maybe that comes down closer to June 30.

Vinicius to raise up a stink and come bring some actual flair to this league of cavemen God willing.

No way it happens but imagine if it did, would blow our entire budget on him no problem. @Blood on the Tracks of course instead of watching Vini silky dribbles and juking on the carpet would rather watch Rice ruin our pitch with his hillbilly dance moves.

Good idea.....Martinelli needs an understudy.

Glad to see you've moved on from fantasising over that wastrel Leao anyway......Shame you're going to have to make do with with Rice and Mount though :lol:

Love Martinelli but he plays like a beaten dog compared to Vini.

That there Brexit selection Rice and Mount leading the Arsenal on the carpet :drool: will crash us out of Europe way faster than Cameron and Boris ever could.

Can’t wait for them to bring the big trophy success they’ve enjoyed at international level to our club 🙃
Funny that @Blood on the Tracks would be the most vocal about being anti Leao and pro Rice and Mount when the former won his team a league title on his own and the latter do nothing on the pitch and are actual TikTok influencers.

Almost like it's nothing to do with their playing style 🤔
