hmm, if they werre prepared to pay something decent i might be prepared to sell if i were the club, i've never been quite sure he'll make the grade for us

Ooh, I am! I think he’s going to be a terrific player for us when he finally gets his chance. He shifts easily between playing as a 10 or an 8, can play down either flank, he uses both feet when he needs to, he’s always trying to move the ball forward and he does his bit defensively - I think that ability to move and play in 360° and that willingness to attack and defend is going to be something that Arteta will be looking out for as he starts to put his own side together.

ESR is right alongside Saka as the best academy players to have made the mark. Unless someone coughs up 50 million quid or something insane, I wouldnt let him go.

Open to sending Willock on loan, although I'd rather keep him and ship Ozil off.

Agreed. Whenever I've seen him play I have been impressed. Very confident and composed character. Reminds me of... I'm not going to say it yet, in case I jinx it.

Like Nketiah, he still has it all to prove but I am pretty open minded about him at this stage.

Well Maitland-Niles has kept his place in the England squad with Saka being called up as well, not sure if that's good or bad.

[Globalgunner]

Being called up for England does not actually mean you are a good player. Lots of awful Spuds players have been called up before

Should Salina stop taking PR advice from Guendouzi?

I agree. I don't begrudge him his say - given the way he has been handled - but the more he goes on now, the more concern there is about whether he has the mentality to go with the talent he is now showing at Nice.

not sure about Salina but i think Saliba should think about it

Apologies, my fat fingers. You obviously knew who I was on about. It has been a long day!
