Don't know why ppl always mention Zubimendi's height. Timber is 5 ft 10 but strong as an ox , possibly as strong physically as Gabriel and Saliba and top 3 defenders in our squad. Also Saka is 5 ft 9 and extremely strong and explosive.
I won’t be too excited until he does the medical check. He ditched Liverpool in the last minute, he can still do that now. In depth discussion or agreement in personal terms mean nothing for a transfer next season.
Merino was not hyped anywhere near this, and was not wanted to be a starter by elite sides. City, Liverpool, Barca and Real all want him. Still likely he does a u turn and joins Real if Alonso goes there.
@@nameless.0190agree on the Merino point. But I wouldn’t say it’s ‘likely’ he goes anywhere else. He’s coming because of the project and, more specifically, Arteta. Theres been some reports saying this has been going on behind the scenes for quite some time and that he’s agreed personal terms already. We’ll probably try to finalise it in Feb so that no one can jump in and nab him. Much like Chelsea did with Nkunku.
Do you know how Rodri first season at Man city went? Let me tell you, he didn't leave up to the hype. He was slow. In the second season, he made No 6 his own. These guys need time to adapt..
I would be careful thinking this is a done deal, If Alonso goes to Madrid there is a good chance of a major Uturn with this deal. Liverpool thought the exact same thing in the summer that a deal had been agreed. Zunamendi has changed his mind on transfers many times in the past.
@@ballisticbanana1481 very unlikely for Arteta to get sacked. He has become the board's safe option. He may not win trophies but considering how risk aversion has become this club's entire motive, I don't see the board taking such a huge risk.
1) deal is not done, its only roumers, and 2) Merino and Calafiori was suppose to "unluck the left side attack"..... Come on, they have been an absolute joke at best....
Now let’s get Nico Williams and we have 1/3 of the Spanish national team playing for us.
When I heard we signed him my first thought was "he is the perfect Jorginho replacement".
This is the level of player we should be targeting.

Roy Keane is 5 ft 11. End of convo

Journalists: How many defensive players will you sign Mr. Arteta?
Arteta In Gary Oldman Voice: Eeeeeeverrrrryyyyyooooonnnnneeeee!
Boring. You copy and paste this everywhere?
Heard lots of things about Merino too but he's been flat. Not really excited...

Same could be said for Isak. Don’t be a jaded supporter.
I still have faith in Merino. I think once we get a proper striker that runs to break the low block then only we'll see his capabilities.
Major coup. Glad we’ve planned for life without Partey or Gorgi already.
He is good

Also possible that Arteta, who has the Spanish connection with him, gets sacked before the summer transfer window if things go badly this season.
