The idea Arsenal is gonna make the Saudis sell is laughable. So it ain’t gonna happen and it’s gonna be another super expensive signingI don't want him near this club. What a c*nt.

This doesn't bode well for Ødegaard... Imagine 4 centrebacks in defence and Guimares and Rice in midfield. Super conservative line up, something has to give. You either go with 2 in midfield and 4 attackers (i.e Havertz roaming and putting a defensive shift in like he does) or go for a very progressive midfielder alongside Rice and Guimares. Ødegaard doesn't fit into either picture.

Who do you want?
What is your impression of a Bruno Guimares, Declan Rice and Ødegaard midfield then? In my mind, its a midfield full of short passers who can't/don't run with the ball or get in behind.Bizarre conclusion to draw.
Need the 2024 version of:Macho to be happy.
Ramsdale + Edu + 65mil for GuimaI know swap deals are popular media fodder but if they really want Ramsdale surely we can work something out?

When I’ve seen Newcastle, he is their deepest lying midfielder. I’d argue most of those take ons are probably him beating the press and those progressive passes are in his own half. That situation at Newcastle doesn’t map itself to arsenals 60% possession in the final third in my mind. Perhaps Rice will play left side of midfield instead, which is scarier.Guimares is a very progressive midfielder 84th percentile for assists, 70th percentile for non penalty goals, 90th percentile for progressive passes, 97th percentile for take ons. He's also defensively has plenty of bite.
Need the 2024 version of:
Evans - Free
Wilshere - Free
Depay - Free
Bissouma - 25M
Grealish - 80M
Lovely stuff.
