Schalke DoF Heidel says no ongoing talks between Meyer and the club. Seems like he's on the move out of Gelsenkirchen.
Like I said earlier, with Coquelin sold, Cazorla's career basically over and Wilshere's looming departure, there's space and need for a versatile midfielder who can play CM, CDM or AMF.
No one's saying he should be this summer's prime or only signing or that he's the absolute top quality to propel the midfield forward, but he's absolutely solid quality with room to develop, aged only 22. Signing him will definitely improve the squad overall, going into four competitions. On a free, it's really a no brainer.
We need players who come in to bring something different to the squad. Theres nothing Meyer offers that Jack or Aaron cant. Just because hes on a free doesn't mean its a good deal when he is taking up the place a physically imposing athletic box2box midfielder could have. Esp when wenger would use the excuse of we have enough midfielders.
