have we seen Ndidi try and play his old deeper role again this preseason? It is a worry that he might not be as solid defensively as before. If so this guy would be a good option to replace him.

Apparently he had lots of injury issues last season.

Would be a good signing imo.

Considering we got Mavididi for 6.5 mil 10 mil for ben doak is laughable.

Ayew is an upgrade on Cannon. Would rather we go for Edouard honestly though, younger and shouldnt be too expensive.

Didnt man city line up with their academy back line? Chelsea's backline was pretty close to what you would expect to start next season.

It's a sad reality where he has more of a chance of playing first team football for title challenging Liverpool than us. If he was still our player he would still be 2 seasons of academy football and a loan away from even being given a chance.

This is rubbish, Cannon is one of the laziest forwards in terms of pressing we've ever had, which is unacceptable at 21 when he should have plenty of miles in his legs.

Hopefully this means we dont see a winks, ndidi, soumare midfield in any competitive games this season

I thought we were getting a manager who gave youth a chance.

When is Wout Faes expected to be back?

Would be an upgrade on Dewsbury Hall in my opinion. If we could get him for the same fee it would be a shrewd piece of business.

It's so frustrating as well because it looks like the transfer will limit Will Alves's ability to make a breakthrough and also shoehorn Fatawu into the left wing back position. How have we looked at where our squad stands at the beginning of the season and decided that a new winger was the priority. I have no idea honestly although i do like the idea of rotating Mavididi centrally.

He would be a good signing for a knock down price. Arsenal won't sell him for a knock down price though, he will be sold at the same price as players who are currently playing regularly and playing well in other top flights across Europe.

The value Arsenal are getting for the Smith Rowe transfer shows there is no value to be had here. They will be asking £15mil for a player who at 25 will not have had a full season of first team football yet, avoid.

Our fans justifying us overpaying for players with the possibility that they're going to be our next big sale doesnt make sense. Buy low sell high only works consistently if you buy low, otherwise a couple dud signings negates any profits.

Would be one of our top earners as well. Overall it would be an expensive player to bring in and I don't think he's good enough to warrant the total cost.

If Fatawu doesnt start in that right hand role that Mcateer was playing in yesterday then everyone involved in planning and building the squad needs sacking. We finally have a good right winger after years of looking to replace Mahrez and he's the most exciting player for us going into next season, why on earth are we looking to not play him in the right winger role that he excelled in last season?

Good loan deal for him to get consistent game time, the worry for us is that he might already be a better player than Okoli and we have spent £11mil to downgrade the squad. Hopefully Okoli is just adjusting to moving to a new team and will prove to be an important player next season.

We had an offer for £4mil when we went down (allegedly), if that's the case then it's so silly not to let it happen.

As long as he doesnt build his muscle past his current level he should be fine, he still looks fully mobile.

He's too good to go out on loan, he has quality that we're going to need next season.

To be fair Tella wasn't a regular starter for Leverkusen. The one player in the championship that i am shocked hasnt had any concrete links to a top flight club is Gabriel Sara, 13 goals 12 assists last season despite largely playing as Norwich's deepest midfielder and Norwich's manager being pretty crap. His ball striking ability is some of the best i've seen in recent years, not only in the championship but in top flight football. If he got a Gyokeres type move i could see a foreign club asking 70-80 mil for him within 6 months of him transferring. He's better than Maddison imo.

Will C-alves looking good.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the number of PL goals that arent on that compilation (36) is still more than any player we had in the PL era before him. The only player to reach 50 PL goals for us and he might do it 3 times over.
