• To all AM members and guests.

    For the start of the new season, Arsenal Mania has relaunched the news side of the site. All articles are written by genuine Arsenal fans with no hidden agenda. You can visit the site via the menu at the top of the forum pages or go direct to our homepage

    Additionally, Arsenal Mania is now sending all its registered members a bi-weekly Briefing Bulletin containing a digest of news and views from both parts of the site. Some of you may have already received the first edition and those that haven't should do so before the big kick off against United. If you are a guest visitor to this forum then if you join as a member, you will automatically receive the Bulletin.

    Please support both these initiatives and help ensure the long term future of our site.

If Fofana for 20-25 million is not an option this club will never know how to actually build quality squad. No one build a squad with only obvious huge signings.

Lol wut! That's exactly what Fergie did.

You get the feeling that the players that are on the move have sounded out their prospective clubs.

For me, Paqueta is a more exciting player, but it's deceptively quiet. You'd think he's City bound.

He was practically done in the summer before the charges came to light. So they'll have everything agreed as soon as his investigation/ban is over. He could still have a sizable ban incoming ofcourse

Everything he’s saying and doing suggests he wants to stay at Newcastle.

That your estimation of player level, or current market values, might not be the most accurate & might need adjusting?
I think I am with the consensus. I was saying that our first bid was low and taking taking the piss, not that Rice isn’t worth the 65+15. And yeah I still don’t think Rice is a top top player. He’s he best in the world at recovering the ball and has great character but leaves a lot to be desired elsewhere, doesn’t he? Bellingham didn’t cost that much more than him.

And even worse, Bruno has no remarkable qualities at all. Good player but l’d be shocked if anyone pays the release clause. He’s 65-75 million in my mind but Newcastle won’t sell.

Watching our game against Sp*rs today it makes me wonder how much a character like Bruno would add to our squad. He's obviously a good player, but he's also a pure ****head. He's someone who could lose his head, or he could instill a fear into opposition players like Romero when they act like c*nts that they'll get their head smacked in.

If we go for Guimaraes, then I dont think we'll get another 8/10 profile. One of, or both Smith Rowe and Vieira would probably fill that role on our left side, particularly if Timber comes back. Timber is able to give us that width down our left side, allowing Martinelli/Trossard to tuck in on that left side and have a source of creativity from deep.

It also means to me that TP5 gets sent packing in the summer.

Guimaraes is a 6, but he can find players between the lines and be a situational 8 as well, like how Xhaka was for us in 22/23. Two further questions I have for Bruno are whether he can play as a lone six giving Rice a rest, and whether getting him kills any potential of getting Isak. I really want Isak.

I've got the best goalkeeper and the best centre half. All I need are the best wingers and the best forward. It doesnt matter what the rest are like.
