Tielemans. Great business by Leicester if they get him.
A couple years ago, I was so against signing tielemans. But last season he improved a lot.

He was more aware of his positioning. So he doesn’t leave huge gaps for the opponent to exploit. He stays in his assigned position more, doesn’t run around the pitch like a fool, and will dribble/run forward ONLY when it’s perfect timing, which either he sees there are no opponent player to start a counter or he has his teammate covered for his position.

The decision making on picking who to pass to, the timing of passing and the accuracy of passing has vastly improved. He played more with his brain and his teamwork is way better now than before.

These are the most important attributes of a midfielder, which he was **** at it a few season ago. But now, he is a different player, and could be a good signing for Arsenal.

At this point, if we secured Tierney and Saliba, and could loan Umtitti, Cabellos, and Malcolm with options to buy Id be over the moon

Could be wrong but I don't see these theoretical loans from Barca and RM happening. They want players off their books and sold for FFP balancing acts. An initial loan with buyout clause wouldn't help, and there will be clubs out there prepared to buy these players outright this window, probably late on because a lot of moves likely will end up intricately connected with each other (across multiple clubs).

Thanks mate. I think it’s a good balance between experience players and young talents. And it’s a more technical side than what we have now.

Zaha is a wide forward, wouldn't put him at CAM. Kongdombia is poor

Kondogbia isnt really poor if you look he was good at Valencia at the first season and good at Inter. He just had a bad season. I think we would play him there to get him involved more
he's gonna be crowded out in the center just like Özil, because we lack wingers. We should stick with him on the wing.

Kongdombia is a bad idea imo. Much rather try someone else in form
 
Atal. As a wide forward. Sample size is small (709 minutes), but his metrics look really interesting.

0.41 xG per 90
0.21 xA per 90
1.37 KP per 90

And obviously his defensive chops can't be questioned. Would love to see him pressing from the front.
