    He allows for the progression of an academy player, Nwaneri. This is something we know the club have in mind when they are planning, is also why I fully expect either no ST or an experienced one to ensure the pathway for Chido is clear. Merino/Trossard like signings give us a clue into positions we will see more youthful players having spaces for.

  • @oeckstei
    @oeckstei Месяц назад +7

    He could be a good fit especially if Partey gets injured again and Jorginho isn’t as quick or physical. I would like to see Arteta use Patino, Skelly and Henry Francis in the 1st team if this transfer happens.
    However if De Jong becomes available and for a good price I would say go for that. We don’t have a profile like odegaard and not sure if Vieira can fill that void.

  • @King-Of-TOOL
    @King-Of-TOOL Месяц назад +7

    Not as silky as Partey but physically and defence awareness seem to be an improvement. Partey can be rather slow when trying to pick a pass and gets pushed off the ball rather easily. Merino seems far more solid and should allow Rice to play the 8 position as he has been. £30m isn’t that big a risk either.

    Rice did a great job for us at 6 during the beginning of last season. At left no.8 there’s an imbalance and Martinelli gets isolated.
    Merino looks like an affordable backup in the left 8 position. I’d love to see us sign Xavi Simons or Eze for a high energy dribbling half space marauder for a tactically different first team player.
