We need a CM much more urgently than a winger. I rate Mudryk - not for the fee - but if we can only get one player it'd be for the position we have nothing on the bench.

I wanted Mudryk Badly but i have let it go now, just have to hope the next time that type of profile is available we don't dither.
Caicedo i am not in favour of getting him at all costs though, good midfielders are easier to find than attackers with Mudryks attributes so would rather break the bank for that.

Has anyone else noticed how our January transfers have an air of destiny by requirement about them? Let me explain...
1) we weren't willing to pay a huge amount for Felix, Chelsea identified auba having a mare and went for him to shore up that spot, also meaning no necessity for mudryk.
2) pulisic and sterling both get long term injuries in the same match. Then Felix gets 3 match ban, Chelsea back in for mudryk where unlikely to have been otherwise.
3) trossard suddenly becomes available, but only after mudryk signed and thus Chelsea cannot contemplate him (despite links to potter).
4) just as fresneda looking a likely bid el neny gets long term injury, maybe we can still get by without a cm signing but start to look there instead.
5) despite all the above we start with partey last night, sure enough cm now seems way more pressing.
As an aside, and possibly number 6, I see sander Berge is now being linked with top 6 teams, just not arsenal as yet. It may be just me but that would be my sort of signing, premier league experience, still fairly young but not inexperienced, also unlikely to break the bank allowing another signature in the summer when some players become available.

I of course forgot to mention Danilo, a long time target who moves to forest just before el neny gets injured. We may have moved for him had our urgency been known. Also did the timing of kiwi and fresneda interest mean Danilo was no longer an option when forest struck? He looks a handy player so far anyway, just we seem destined for another instead.

Yeah, saw a Sheffield Utd game vs QPR weeks ago, he was really poor. Remember, we're top ot the league, what the **** are we going to do with Berge? These suggestions man.

Thinking back up only, be it a loan until end of season or transfer fee. It all depends on whether Brighton relent / onana available / zubi happy to join us mid season. I would be incredibly surprised if zubi would rule out a move himself if his desire to play in premiership. That shot may not be available come the summer.

I have literally not seen Caicedo play, how good is he and is he similar in style to Partey or completely different?

Berge has regressed so much. He was so good at the start of his Sheffield United career, but didn't get his move to progress further and is just stuck in a rot.
Needs a fresh start to see if he can discover some sort of spark/motivation, but it sure as hell is not going to be Arsenal.

Very similar in my view.
More aggressive and wins the ball more. Not quite as good progressive passing.
But overall very similar. And he has a lot of upside to improve at only 21.
He's the perfect signing IMO. I say we offer 80m.
See his stats compared to Parteys here:

The way Barca and Madrid fans talk about Zubimendi is crazy. Some saying he has potential to be a generational talent. Barca fans saying he's one of the very few top players in Europe who can play the single pivot. I hope we can convince him to join us.
Spanish media saying Barca have given up on the idea because we've entered the race Barcelona have lost hope of signing Real Sociedad midfielder Zubimendi

Maybe
You're wrong, no?
Idk much about the player but it's so funny to see how clubs can bully Barca and Real on the market after so many years of their dominance

Begs the question then why he’s only got 1 Spanish cap then when he’s almost 24?

I take back what I said. He looks levels below Partey, Rice, and Caicedo: Player Comparison: Thomas Partey vs. Declan Rice vs. Martín Zubimendi vs. Moisés Caicedo | FBref.com But maybe it's their style of play?
I've never seen him play so just going off metrics and fan opinion here.

As Party is now injured we are getting to a position where we are desperate for cover, I'm not in favour of paying over the odds but as we have a chance of getting the title it!s a case of having to pay up.

We should just pay the Release clause for Zubimendi and triple his wages.. He is on 30K/week over there.
I highly doubt he says no to 90K/week for the love of Real Sociedad...

I’ve got the hots for Camavinga innit. After losing out on Mudryk I want some top shelf hot sauce. I would much rather loan McKennie and then try get Camavinga in the summer than spunk 80m on Caicedo. But idk how realistic that is. Its a tough choice.
