He reminds me a bit of Alex Song, when he was good for us, not the joke he became...very good on the ball from deep.
Think him and Partey will be quality, will be so sad when Mikel puts Xhaka straight back in after his ban
That Xhaka extension means he won't get dropped no matter what.
Country: England
Wasn't here to tag you, but Neves is clear of Xhaka.

Player:Saliba
Wasn't bad today, but I still don't think he's as good as Douzi after watching him play so well for OM this season. Hope he returns from loan.

You must be mistaken, I never said otherwise....

I agree. Sambi is a little too casual. Guendouzi is all action but also had the finesse.
Country: England
Excellent young talent. So excited watching this guy play. I love his dribbling, has that ability to weave in and out of pressing. Sort of like Jack Wilshere

Think he's well clear of Guendouzi tbh, only reason I haven't said it is cause it's early days. I am of the firm belief that the comparisons will stop soon unless the kid gets Arsnealised.
Country: England
Player:Saliba
Having watched Douzi play for OM this season he's improved a lot. Or maybe it's a team/manager effect.

Away. With injuries/covid. To a team who were second to only City for xG conceded over the first 3.
Xhaka plays today and we probably score more, he releases balls through the lines quicker, Sambi holds onto the ball for longer then he needs to.
Country: England
The majority of our squad rips up Ligue 1 and that's no slight on the league because I love it personally, it's just the truth. A small chunk of our squad has dominated there at one point or another hence why we signed them in the first place.
Guendouzi always starts amazing but the true test of his maturity is if he retains this all season long. He was a bright spark for Hertha too. Started well for Arsenal too. I have a soft spot for Guendouzi btw I just like what I've seen of Sambi's technique, composure and temperament so far.
Does he have Guendouzi's tenacity and boldness? nah I think Guen has that over him admittedly and ideally we'd have both but we can't have nice things evidently.

It's an obligation to buy, isn't it? So he's basically already been sold. Even if it weren't obligation there is no way he's returning because OM would certainly pick up that 10m clause.
Country: England
Player:Saliba
Yeah, it's a shame. Ridiculous amount when White was 5 times that.
Country: Scotland
Player:Gabriel
I'd echo that. Think Douzi was more impressive early doors for us as well. Shame what happened with him but he's gone now unfortunately. Hopefully Lokonga can continue developing.

Tbf, when the only interest is from abroad in this market, and you've already made an example of the player and it's clear you don't consider a future for him at the club nor him one for himself, there's really no leverage and not much you're going to get.

Guendo came into a better/more settled team too in 2018, that shouldn't be forgotten...plus, people always seem to forget our best run of form in 2018/2019 and 2019/2020, came when Guendo wasn't playing too much.
Feel Lokonga will definitely end up the better player, looks more rounded than Matteo...get him alongside a fully fit Partey for a run of games, and we are laughing!

Pretty sure I recommended this signing two years ago, means he's a sure fire flop.

Different players but Guendouzi is very good in his own right. Let's not forget that he is walked into arsenal first team that almost finished in the top 4 at 19.
