✍️ OFFICIAL Sambi Lokonga

[Rasmi]

True. I perhaps thought he might get some league matches as well, but then I remembered who our manager is.

Both him and balugon needs loan. No point of another season with u23

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

If the price is right we should do it. Give Azeez lots of cup matches

his team asking 15M to 20M so yeah cheaper option if we couldn't land bissouma

 

[dashsnow17]

He reminds me of a Ndombele-lite, or a peak Alex Song. Not so much a Bissouma type imo.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Why cant we just use some of the 250 M we are playing with and show proper ambition and go for Gravenberch?

Apparently the Kroenke's made the warchest physical chest with money. To access it, Vinai, Edu, Arteta and Garlick must each sell a player who's no longer needed.

1 Carabo games before we get knocked out

Tier 1in Belgium look like we following him more than Bissouma. Make sense we looking more good squad depth player than Bissouma who likely asking to be starting

With Xhaka and Ceballos leaving, why not both?

Because does seem we more serious about Neves than Bissouma.

 

[MauveGunner]

Sambi is a good player, but still young. He isn't a pure destroyer on the midfield though, but more of a technical DM. Much better and less rash than Guendouzi, thats for sure. Don't know how he compares to the other youngsters from the acadamy though.

But don't hope that he will boss our midfield immediatly. He is able to do that, but in due time. He's got the talent for that. But, for now, I say it is a huge step up for him. Youri Tielemans left as a better player than him.

The Athletic say the club see him as Partey backup so i think if we bought him he won't quickly start.

 

[djflick]

I like the idea of this signing. I'm more excited about this than any of the other links.

I really don't see Sambi as the Partey type but ok. I see him evolve in a Witsel like player.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

The point is more we'll sign a senior player with more PL experience next to Partey (Neves) And Lokonga comes in when need be to give Partey a rest or even Neves a rest in some games.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But just pointing out he isn't the power box-to-box that Partey is supposed to be. As a back-up for Neves, I agree.

I love the idea that there is an actual oak & ironbound "Chest of Gold" somewhere in the Emirates that Vinai and Edu have keys for. We've been hearing about the war-chest for so long that it can't be completely mythical can it?

[boxerumble]

Toby, how the f*ck do you know all this stuff?

I love it.

Just like some of us are quite adept at wanking, Toby is clearly the football reference library

 

[Rasmi]

We made an inquiry and word is we are pondering a move. It’s serious when we make enquiry and ponder at the same time. We may even go wild next week and make a phone call. Exciting times ahead

Every new Chief Executive has to prove their worth by opening the chest and wearing the Arsenal Socks of one club legend. The options are Ray Parlour, Cesc Fabregas and Mesut Özil. Only by making the right choice can that executive thrive, make the wrong choice and a horrible fate awaits...



He chose poorly...
