Elneny is fine. Won't lose the ball but won't do much with it. Plays a great sideways pass. Once savagely owned Alexis on Twitter.

It's Emi Martinez, actually. Bellerin and Ozil are the next two.

If Xhaka leaves (seems likely) they may actually let him buy someone in January.

Guendouzi would cover for Xhaka currently, yeah. I guess in theory we could get Rabiot on loan and then use the Xhaka money to buy a competent center back. But the Rabiot stuff very much sounds like agent talk to me.

Homura posted:Can't fix years of rot in a couple of windows, really need to burn it all down and start an actual rebuild instead of hoping that a few big names coming in will be a miracle cure. This is true but that rebuild is easier if we have more money, so there's value in focusing somewhat on the short term and trying to get back up into the European places, or somehow winning the Europa League.

Total Meatlove posted:Are Arsenal seriously buying an injury prone left back to temporarily replace their massively injury prone and currently crocked left back? Of course not. We're buying him to replace an injury-prone teenage winger, who was filling in for an injury prone wingback, who was in turn filling in for our massively injury prone and currently crocked left back.

sourdough posted:Where are all th Arsenal transfer rumors, when will the replacements for Mustafi and Luiz be announced? We have been very strongly linked with Layvin Kurzawa, an apparently awful left back for PSG who just so happens to be represented by Kia Joorabchian, close friend of both Raul Sanllehi and Edu. There have been some stories today linking us to a Ukrainian CB but it seems like agent talk. That's it.

Ceballos is a talented player but the dude kept doing like blind back heel passes that inevitably went straight to a defender, it got tiring fast.

Bacon Terrorist posted:I think Arteta demands anyone playing for Arsenal to put a shift in so even when Ceballos looked good he wasn't a workhorse. The eastern european CB Arsenal are linked with was a previous City shortlist target so may be something in it. Reportedly it was Arteta who insisted City look into him so maybe the interest is real after all. Seems like an obviously necessary move.

big crush on Chad OMG posted:I assume this means he did his medical and they’re just hashing out the transfer terms Reporters in England are saying the above, that it was always planned for him to come over and do his medical and then go back. Flamengo is saying they agreed a permanent deal and then Arsenal tried to change it to a loan with an option to buy, so they had him return to Brazil. Tbh both sides are extremely believable.

Akileese posted:Flamengo are saying Arsenal wanted to change the terms after the medical and the deal is off. Even if they saw something in the medical that gave them pause, this is peak Arsenal. I kinda think all of this was planned, they just wanted him to get a medical done in advance so negotiations could go to the end of the window, and Flamengo are using it as an opportunity to look like they're putting up a fight over an important player.

Akileese posted:Ornstein said yesterday that there was no fee agreed and it wasn't going to happen because Shaktar didn't want to sell this window. I know there's a contingent of Arsenal fans who think he's full of poo poo now but I tend to still believe him when he reports something. Because Arsenal fans are idiots who have no understanding of how journalism works and think moving from the BBC to The Athletic means Ornstein has to scrap all his sources and start from scratch. Really he just got promoted into a role that's far more broad than "guy who breaks Arsenal stories" so he does less Arsenal-specific work.

Big Dave has chimed in: https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1222561003839401984 I forget who it was but someone was saying they want Soares to provide cover at RB so AMN can "replace" Ceballos. I guess that makes sense? I think AMN has been doing pretty well this season and I would be perfectly fine with him at RB long-term but he's made it pretty clear he doesn't want that.

Arsenal confirmed Cedric Soares today, loan until the end of the season. Probably going to be made permanent unless he completely flops.
