he key midfielder for us but we need to take next step and upgrade just like Partey we'll likely going to upgrade him in 2 years time.

While he is a good player, and we're better with him that without, he simply cannot be relied upon.

It's a marathon mate! Several follow fighters have already bit the dust like @Jury... Left are some over the hill sluggers like us. Feels like I am in round ****ing 10,000 with no end in sight...

Nothing excites me more than seeing this thread on the top of this forum.

I'd be happy selling or keeping tbh but like you say you don't let him go for under his value. Given his age, getting £15m and reinvesting in Neves would be ok, very similar players, maybe a slight upgrade.

After Neves’ comments about the way Arsenal celebrated last night’s win, he’s not coming here.
Would rather Rice anyway. Albeit at double the money.

Rice would be such a statement but I just can't see a situation where he would choose us over the other clubs that would be interested. I don't think it's about money with Rice, I think he can pick any club for his next move basically.
Wouldn't read too much into anything players say. Ivan Toney was trash talking us at the beginning of the season as well - doesn't look so funny now though, he would bite our hands off to join.

I agree. Its incredibly unlikely.
United and chelsea both strongly linked. Who knows, if we get CL and the stars align, maybe there is a small chance.

And even if they don't we might benefit. With Chelsea for example, if they go for Rice, what happens to Gallagher? Man United feel like the most obvious club for Rice, but then if we finish above them this season maybe we would have a chance. You'd think Liverpool would be very interested as well though.
Country: Norway
Actually, had we bid for him, he'd be walking down south to play for the Arsenal.
I have been saying. I have inside knowledge here. He will go to Chelsea.

Gallagher and Rice don’t play the same role, there is space for both of them in the same squad. Rice i guess is the long term replacement for Kante, albeit with a bit more attacking prowess.

According to @Corriere, Jose Mourinho will not give up his request to sign Granit Xhaka next summer, despite Roma's previous attempts last summer and winter.
Mourinho believes that Xhaka is the 'favourite man' to build the team around and helps control the pace of the match which the team lacks.

I hope for both sides sakes he gets his move. He obviously wanted to leave in the summer, so would be good if we can get top 4, and both split ways on a high and we can move on from having to rely on the unreliable. And I'm someone that appreciates the good things Xhaka does offer.

If Jose wants him, he should only get him with a very high offer.
It would be best if Xhaka leaves soon, but that little gimp in Roma can go and **** himself as far as all Arsenal supporters should be concerned.

Corriere dello sport was the same tabloid that constantly said Xhaka was already sold and the announcement is just around the corner.
Why are we still allowing them? They're barely above the sun in terms of reliability.
Pay up then. These Italian clubs take the piss. Feed their tinpot media all sorts of stuff, yet low ball clubs they're trying to get offers from. Given he signed a new deal, I'd think we should be looking at around 25m.

They weren't the only ones, even Sky Italia said there was an agreement.
