He’s not a Ramsey replacement, more of a wide creative player or number 10. Part of the reason he’s moving on is because he’s failed to adapt as a CM at Barca.

Decent signing in an area we need though.

Hasn't our problem been we have to many wide creative players, like Miki and Iwobi and people want more fast, dribbling wide forwards?

But Emery has mainly played Ramsey at #10. The relevance of who he's replacing isn't really the issue. Ramsey is leaving and Arsenal need to sign better quality at AM and wide.

I think Iwobi and Mkhi are the type of wide players that Emery wants but they're just inconsistent. Besides I'd say Iwobi can dribble and is quite quick. We just need more quality from those areas on a consistent basis, Emery wants his wide men to come inside and allow space for the full-backs to overlap.

That’s why I said the last sentence mate?

Here's how football writer Mark Thompson sees Denis Suarez fitting into the Arsenal side:

Is Ramsey replacement the right choice?

It’s interesting that the pair show up as so similar according to their persona radars given that they play different positions on the team sheet. Suárez, partly in his quest for any game-time he can get, has shifted around attacking positions. He pops up in the centre of attacking midfield, as well as on the wings, whereas Ramsey is strictly a central figure.

This is a good thing for Arsenal, because a direct replacement for the Welshman probably isn’t what they need. The 27-year-old has been something of a problem for Emery, a player who doesn’t quite fit into the new manager’s system. The centre of midfield works as a two, and the combination of Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka — despite what people say about the latter — works quite well.

Ramsey isn’t alone in this regard. Mesut Özil is similarly problematic, while having to keep both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang happy is a task of man-management more than tactics.

Such are the perils of inheriting a squad that someone else built.


Very interestingly, Suárez often played on the left side of midfield during his season on loan at Sevilla in 2014/15. While Alex Iwobi has impressed there, it’s been one of the areas where a regular option hasn’t emerged, Aubameyang, Iwobi, and Danny Welbeck all taking up the role.

Suárez’s flexibility will come in useful though, able to play in any spot behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1. His link-up play — combining vision for team-mate runs with deft touches — makes him a good fit for the kind of ‘playing around the edge of the opposition box’ football that Arsenal so often end up playing.

If Emery wants his team to be more fast-paced, then Suárez also offers the type of dribbling that is presumably banned in the first-team (coincidentally, as a side note, Suárez came through the Barcelona youth system with another talented dribbler, Adama Traoré).

Suarez in now and Mkhitaryan out in the summer. Add another wide forward to replace Welbeck alongside the returning Nelson in the summer and we begin to look good up top.

Suarez oozes smoothness. So aesthetically pleasing and is technically secure. Reminds me of Samir Nasri pre-goal glut at Arsenal. Only concern is he doesn't score or assist much, which is the MO for an attacker.

Di Marzio saying we’re in talks and leading the race.


Leading the race means we aren't even involved. For a club who isn't in the Champions league it's amazing how agents still use us to drive up interest in their clients.

I'm convinced anyone we are 'linked' to or 'make bids' for is just guess work. We have limited funds so we won't just bring in anyone. £55 million on Under. Interested in a Torino centre back?

Just because Emery has worked with a player doesn't mean we want him. He has a say but it's minimal. Mslintat decides who we buy. Emery will just say what he needs. At the moment he has voiced a defender. That's probably all we will see coming in.

Di Marzio, Romano and Ornstein are generally on the money. This will likely happen.

When he was er Villareal, he had everything we need right now, maybe without the blistering pace. He would be great as a playmaker on the wing. Unbelievable ball controle, great vision. Can go 1v1 with his head up. Barca wanted him in a deeper role, that didn't work out. If he signs, easily the best dribbler in our senior squad.

Even in his compiliation video it is frustrating to watch this guy. Ruining great attacks with too many touches.

I love & hate these kind of transfers. Signing Wonder kids when the shine wears off.

We should be in for Savic. Lazio fans have turned on him and ge’ll Definitely be sold. I’d prefer Suarez on loan but the best solution would be a contract and time with Emery for Ramsey
