Stepping Stone FC, you love to see it.

Essays are my thing
Well compared to Barca or Real, we always have been. The key is to keep them for their peak and then flog them....
Bold move joining the Arsenal defence as a stepping stone.
I for once welcome being stepping stone win-win situation they get us back to CL and we get decent money after selling them.

Emery Gone, Telly Back On
We aren't a stepping stone to guys like Pepe and Upamecano. They should count their lucky stars playing for us.

Even when GFF give us good news, they do it in a backhanded kind of way...hate them.
They've eased up since Emery left

The more i see this guy the more i think we should do a "Liverpool - VVD" on this one and pay over the odds. He is exactly what we need. We might have to double his 42K per week salary or even triple it if that's what it takes to beat Chelsea & other pretenders.
The guy is strong, fit, good on the ball, fast and very aggressive on attackers. I also saw few of his mistakes (usually in the positioning) but if you are a striker facing him you already know it won't be fun. Leipzig has the 2nd best defense of the Bundesliga and conceded only 5 more goals than Bayern and both clubs lost only 4 times.
Also he is only 21 with a clause in his expiring contract. It's really no brainer when you see the prices of guys like Koulibaly at 29 y.o...
Him and Saliba are both athletic and quite tall (both around 6'2) so we would finally have strong presence on set pieces and for a long time.
Partey is also in key target but with Ceballos/Xhaka/Torreira the midfield (defensive side) is less of an emergency than the defense.

I could delete this bump and save everyone the trouble or sit back and watch people have a meltdown over it.
Tough one.

Kai Havertz Offense League
I was listening to an Arsenal related podcast last night and apparently 45% of goals we have conceded in the league has come from set pieces. I didn't realise how bad we were. We desperately need to add some height at the back, I think Mustafi is the best in the air and he's only 6ft. From looking at videos Upaemacano looks 6ft1, which is okay but I thought he were bigger, anyways my query is, both him and Saliba have played the majority of their football in a back 3. I think Arteta wants to move to a back 4 but is anyone worried how they may fare together in a back 4 in a more physical and intense league? In theory they both are the ideal PL defenders but that is on paper, I think they may need help to adjust imo.
I can imagine Upamecano signing a new contract at Leipzig, they're trying to do that, it's not sure that he will. He was very closely linked with Arsenal, I heard that it's not his first option, so United has a chance of course.

Deleted tweet?
Edited now.
Exactly, WE'RE his stepping stone goddammit. They should go find their own talented and aspirational young footballer to use them to further their own career!
Upamecano links gone cold since January i dont think we interested anymore and it seem he closer and closer to sign new contract.
Why do you think we lost interest?
im not quite sure but maybe we waiting to see if we have european football next season or not because the links with him have cooled down since Jan
