He’ll be a decent bench warmer for ESR I suppose.

Did anyone actually watch him play last season? Genuine question, because I hear a lot about his poor season but his numbers look fine to me. Only seen him play a few times, but he always looked like class to me.

At the numbers being mentioned we've got to take a chance on him. Ødegaard and Aouar are potentially 2 quality midfielders down the road.

The class is there for anyone to see. At the price mentioned or a loan it’s a no-brainer. Problem is Arteta doesn’t play this type of player in central midfield.

does he has any defensive qualities? I don’t see him and Ødegaard in the same midfield

He could play on the left, I guess.
This fruit is hanging so low it's on the ground already, just pick it up!

No he doesn't really provide much in terms of defensive output. Don't really understand why people are still on him now that we have bought Ødegaard. Much rather get a DM in who is boasts good stats in: progressive passes & carries, pressures, tackles and interceptions (i.e. Caqueret, Camavinga, Guimaraes).

Bissouma would be the dream now.
Sadly we have even been asking for him as well but they apparently blocked enquiries from the big clubs.
Not totally untransferable, but massive bids expected.
Most on here, including me, thought Bissouma was a 30-35m which is far off from reality.
Makes sense, given White..

It would be too late for Bissouma now, IMO. We should have gone for him at the beginning of the window, to allow Brighton time to get in a replacement.
If we want to take advantage of Lyon, then go for Guimaraes at this stage, there could still be a chance there.

It would be dumb to pick up this player to sit the bench. Instead, pay to get Bissouma or someone else of proven quality to start with Partey. Then sit Xhaka. This player is no better than Willian. We need to upgrade starting positions, not add mediocrity to our bench.
Utter Nonsense. Tottenham was even smart enough to say no.

Statistically no - not very well. You'd be reliant on his ball retention or another ball winner next to him. I'm sceptical that he would work in a two against any decent team.

We are not paying 50 million to get Bissouma with 2 years in contract.
I doubt we have that much money left for one position this window.

Did not mean to imply Bissouma is happening, I just said we have enquired just like ManU and Liverpool did, but they wanted a massive fee early in the window already.
Just think like many others that he'd been a great choice. Dont wanna miss out on Sambi though, already love that kid.

We need a right back more than him.

I like the idea of Auoar but I’d prefer someone more dynamic and athletic that could be a bit more all rounded and progress the ball through carries. I think Bissouma could be coached into this player from being a 6 but I don’t see him moving. I think the Locatelli bid made a lot of sense because of the above, all be it he was never coming to us.

I'd push for Aouar this summer so that when Arteta fails which sadly feels inevitable, he'd easily be attainable at a cheaper price next summer with Potter hopefully on board.
That way, we'd have both grit, and technique in together with a very exciting manager.
Imo that team would only a good manager, RB, and a good physical ST away from making a serious statement.
Better days ahead 100%. Just a little patience and support from the fans needed.
