It actually baffles me nobody in the Premier League went for him. Would be really good for a lot of teams. In my opinion he's even good enough to play at Arsenal.Emi Buendia.
Would be a very smart signing I think, not exactly Aouar but would be a good alternative for around £20m. Perfect player for the right hand side of a midfield 3. Excellent dribbler, creator, spanish speaking, can play a variety of positions and has the defensive ability to play as a central midfielder. Only 23 years old and wouldn’t command a huge fee. Wouldn’t demand to be a nailed on starter either so we can rotate him based on the opposition. Doesn’t really score goals but his creativity would likely increase auba/laca/pepe/willian goals and the extra defensive stability with partey means less conceded. Also his name literally translates to good day in spanish.
I wish we make a last minute move for Benrahma
Good suggestion on Grealish. But if we have 6 attacking players, I want at lease 5 preferable 6 providers. It will be nice if all 11 players are technically sound and all can contribute in the creation of play.I feel like we would be more suited in a 4-2-3-1 and Grealish I would say is best in a sort of roaming playmaker role on the right wing. Would suit Aubameyang and Pepe who are more about trying to make runs and score chances, Grealish could be the provider. In that case IMO we'd be a midfielder short, so I'd either buy Ceballos permanently and let Guendouzi come back (if he had a stellar season) or buy Ceballos and Aouar and sell one of either Guendouzi or Xhaka depending on form. Also think we are a quality CB short, so I'd go for an Upamecano next season. I think main priority has to be shifting dead wood tho. I wanna see Özil (£0), Luiz (£0), Mustafi (£5m - contract running out), Sokratis (£0), Chambers (£15m), Holding (£15m), Elneny (£9m), Torreira (£25m), Mavropanos (depending on loan spell - £8m), Kolasinac (£5m - contract running out) and I wouldnt mind even Cedric (£5m) all gone by next summer. Thatd give us about £87m in transfer fees and about £1m-£1.1m a week in wages. MADNESS
