Mikel Merino in the left 8 role would be so good, he has the strength and ball winning of Rice and the underrated technical ability of Xhaka. I think a left side of Martinelli, Merino and Timber would be so deadly. His ability to win headers and to score headers will only add to our impressive set piece scoring as well!
Reckon Martinelli could do with an excellent passer of the ball, which doesn’t look like Merino, but his ball-wining and recovery from the wing (left footed helps) does look good. Still, prefer we,d focus on attack more in left 8 role, like a Simons or musiala. Keep Rice in 6. Reckon califiori will see timber in RB, allowing white to share RB and RCB.
@@paveldimitrov998I think Timber is better. Calafiori has to develop a little. He will be eased in at least first few months then we will have rotation across the back line for all 6 of our top defensive players
@theach84 I agree. On the ball timber seems better but purely as an athlete Calafiori seems to be better fit for what Arteta wants to do defensively. To be honest I don't care who starts and who holds bench as long as we win.

I watched with keen interest when Rodri was subbed in the Euro 24 final. Zubimendi came on and there was no difference or drop in standard. I think the best 6 is Zubimendi. He is better than Rice for me.
There is an opportunity to use him as a 8 and convert him into a Jorginho type player later when he is above 30. He will have enough to learn from the coaches and Jorginho himself.
I don't mean to pour cold water on your Scouting Harry m8, but He's Barcelona bound according to the reports, just saying, please continue with your highly advanced content of course H
I don’t understand this transfer why sell Xhaka just to get Merino I would rather still have Xhaka. Why not look at a player like richard ríos for me both transfers have risk but there is more upside with richard ríos.
What should stay as a plus, is how him and Ødegaard cooperated when they played together at Real Sociedad. I wish someone would see how they supplemented each other, because I do think they understood each other quiet well.

None of us know who they are trying to sign these are all rumors and there could be others to come. There is no way we are signing Williams as he plays on the left and we have Trossard and Martinelli. Dont believe what you see online every summer we get it wrong when guessing who will be signed.
@@1987simple1987 That's a bit harsh Popeye especially coming from a hugely experienced former EPL manager, physio, scout and coach like yourself.

Swap Calafiori for Timber and you have the tallest team in the league by a mile.

Well Harry if he’s coming in as a squad player I’m ok with that but we still need a midfielder to take us to that next level
But we already have the world class Havert❤z, the 'better than KDB' Odegaard and the best CDM on the planet Rice in midfield already?
That top 6 we want is not available. Bruno would be it but he is not worth 100mil they want.
@@theach84 If Arteta and Edu don't sign a proper striker then we'll be lucky to finish top 8 again let alone top 6
It is quite curious that his style is similar to Edu's even though I think Merino is better in forward positions.
We need a pass master to make up for Rices average passing and this guy is good at a lot of things except that

Scouting report has become reading fbref stats. For best scouting report, interview regular Sociedad watchers who watch every game of Merino.
We also need a depth in our club.

If every player Barca is interested in was off limits, no one would ever sign anywhere.
These must be the same reports that say Eddie Nketiah's going to Fulham for £50m and Sesko is "days away from signing for Arsenal" 😅
Is he the Spanish Scott Mctominay?
No.
Harry, Can Arsenal spend any money on players or do they have to sell first to satisfy FFP
I hear you, I was disappointed when I saw his stats. Not sure about this, prefer Fofana
