✍️ OFFICIAL Matteo Guendouzi (Out)

[Riou]

His first season he had some insane performances against City. Looked like the best player on the pitch. Never a good idea to have the club out publicly and say how big of a head case he is. Keep it on the down low and let his new club figure it out. Anyway, 10m is not bad for him seeing as we had no desire to keep him.

Think that performance is overrated, tbh...it was a decent game from Guendo, but all he mainly did was not hide (unlike Xhaka) in that game, he didn't really do much with the ball...City still beat us fairly easily that day.

Compared to some truly great young midfield performances for us, Fabregas v Juventus or Wilshere v Barcelona...in those games we matched and deservedly beat top teams.

Agree with how we sold him though, could have gotten more if we didn't tell everyone he was a disaster publicly...Mikel/the club need to learn from this

 

[Garrincha]

good luck to him! always loved how he took a German loan over apologizing to Dim Mik ... also did nothing wrong vs Brighton

mad rise from 18 games in Ligue 2 to the Arsenal first team day one of the season... think it was the 2-2 with United a couple of months in he was the main force in midfield both defensively + with the ball

as long as Marseille dont have a manager change things should be good seems super loyal to the ones that put faith in him

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Should have built on the player, he's immature and young but very talented. Instead, it's another kid Mikel can't be bothered with.

Not every position can have a kid there. We gave the most minutes to youngsters last season.

This kid was first name on the team sheet.

 

[Barry]

Good luck baby Luiz, fly free & play well sweet prince x

 

[HairSprayGooners]

This kid was first name on the team sheet.

Because we lacked quality.

 

[Barry]

This is better than losing him on a free which I thought was the most likely outcome at one point. Hope there is a sell on clause though, it's still pretty cheap for France U21 Captain with 60 PL appearances

 

[samshere]

So thats 5m for Mavro, 10m for Guendo, will probably get 10m for Willock. Not even half a Ben White. But on the bright side, Kroenke will be forced to sell when Arsenal drop to 10th next season.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

**** me what an awful deal.

Guy was easily worth 40M at once stage.

and all the men merely players

I know we're not good at selling, but £10m for Willock isn't going to happen. That would be a starting point simply because he's English.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Willock is not going for £10m.

 

[OnlyOne]

Because we lacked quality.

He came from a tiny league 2 side in France and established himself at a top PL club, that’s not just because we lacked quality, that’s because he deserved it. Was usually one of our better players in the big games as well.

10M is an absolute joke when all it would take is an arm around the kid rather than shunting talent away because Mikel wants ready made arse licking yes men.

[NieThePiet]

Signing a nobody from the French 2 League for €8m and selling him for around €13m, while he is the current U23 Captain from French now and was one of the hottest prospects on his position two years ago.

Fits so good in the transfer politic from the last years sadly.

 

[samshere]

10m +1 ?

 

[carlito'sway]

Marseille making moves this market.

Indeed...They have added Gerson, Konrad, Guendouz. Kept Balerdi , Milik and Lirola. About to sign Pau Lopez and Cengiz Under from Roma and Luan Peres from Santos. Saliba and Giovanni Simeone should arrive as well. Thiago Almada is a possibility too, All of this for less money that what Ben White will cost!
If Sampaoli can make them gel, they will have a pretty exciting team at the State Velodrome.

 

[Sammy1887]

Pretty sure he'll piss off Sampaoli and gets binned by December.

 

[Gooner416]

Wonder if Sokratis still doesn’t regret slapping him. Anyway, best of luck Matteo.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Look like will be confirmed with Saliba if everything agreed there.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The deal isn't official yet matteo lol. But good luck in future.
