Rodrigo De Paul

[SA Gunner]

Looks an exciting option, dont know much about him but certainly reminds me of a Buendia, but bigger.

I really hope we would at least try to get him in.

 

[The_Playmaker]

Who you got on your subs bench there?

Martinelli, a striker and preferably another winger

I prefered Buendia, cheaper, younger and no issue with changing country/league etc but Rodrigo de Paul is very very good and would be perfect for us, i think Udinese will be looking for 50m? Maybe we could offer Watford Nketiah and Maitland Niles as part of the deal? (Watford and Udinese are the same owners)

De Paul's football style is what this Arsenal team needs. He can turn with the ball, beat his immediate marker and carry the ball with speed into the pocket between opposition defenders and midfielders. He might solve a big part of the team's creativeness problem.

 

[Football Manager]

Pretty funny that everyone spent like 2 months saying how Buendia could be the next Santi when actually De Paul is way closer to that than Buendia would be. Look at this technical control in the middle of the pitch, that's the next Santi right there.

Buendia playing style is closer to Cazorla.

I wont trust the club a second before they actually do exciting stuff, if it was for rumors, we'd have signed 34 players by now.

If you are looking at key targets and believe Rodrigo de Paul is your man and a great addition, bid those ****ing 40m and be done with it, you ain't got no player like that by low balling, especially not if a currently much bigger club in AM has him supposedly as their key target.

Only chance you have is to bid what the club wants rather quickly and hope for the Aston Villa effect.

Buendia has played 90% of his football in England on the right, as a sort of creative very inside right. While he 'should' translate to a number 10 at the top level, he has barely played that role.

In a superficial way, yes. When it comes down to it though the reason Santi was good was because he was a technical baller who could control games from the very centre of the pitch. Buendia is an attacking threat, but he isn't dictating games yet at this stage of his career. De Paul is doing that. So De Paul is closer to Santi.

When you watch our midfield these recent years and see the dire technical level, De Paul is exactly what we've been crying out for.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Atletico Madrid have bid for Calhanoglu. Potentially out of the race for De Paul you'd assume.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Milan and A.Madrid want de Paul according to di marzio but Milan buying de Paul depends on Calhanoglu future

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

See what i mean about Phillips? Much better than Neves.

 

[Kysus]

Looks exciting, the closest to what I feel we need(Verrati type)

 

[HairSprayGooners]

You're right. But it's stupidly unrealistic due to the price.

 

[gunner4lyfe]

Would Leeds realistically sell him to us?

Depends how high we are willing to go. I'd say 40m for Neves? Why not bid more for Phillips.

40m for Neves is a rumours and it might end up way less. You think Phillips is worth 50 or even more? Because that's what Leeds will want unless he tells them he wants to leave.

If we are going for PL ready, I’d like Bissouma. Neves doesn’t excite me at all.

I actually wouldnt play him as a 10 and instead have him on the right of a midfield 3 in a 4-3-3.

All aboard the hype train
Tbf he did put in a good performance and looked like he would slot in and improve our midfield. Sometimes its hard to know with those Leeds players outside of their 110% running system.

If Neves doesn't excite you then Bissouma shouldn't either.
