Now a rumor that the Mari deal is almost done. Ornstein confirming. Loan with an option to buy.

I think the biggest thing in his recent errors has been his positioning. He hasn't read the plays very well and ends up behind the ball.

Seeing stuff about us trying to get Cedric Soares from Southampton on loan. He'd add depth to the RB position and I think has played LB as well. He's 28 and currently injured so it sounds perfect for our FB depth

I like it a lot.

On the cheap side, experienced in 2 positions we need.

Would free up AMN to get a shot at midfield when Ceballos moves out.

I think we are doing this because we couldn't come up with an agreement with PSG to get Kurzawa immediately. Think this is less about freeing up AMN and more about making sure we have coverage at fullback where we have been hammered by injuries and inconsistency.

The old Mendes special.

Seeing rumors that we are making a late run at Emre Can. Dortmund agreed a loan with a buy option (or maybe obligation???) Of 26m for the summer but rumor is that they can't afford to pay his full Juventus salary so the deal is not finalized. The claims are that we are trying to step in and get the same terms but offer him a more favorable salary.

Emre Can: Juventus midfielder joins Borussia Dortmund on loan

Quote:

Dortmund obliged to sign former Liverpool midfielder for 21m in summer, to be paid over three years, if sporting objectives are achieved in rest of 2019/2020 season

Quote:

Dortmund signed off the sale of Paco Alcacer to Villarreal on Thursday, pocketing 23m (19.3m) and funding the club's move for Can.

If you had told me that in February of 2020, Mustafi would not only still be on the squad, but starting, I would have called you a damn liar.

I am shocked arsenal has a promising situation stopped on a textbook too close to call offsides.

Laca has to be dropped. Bring Pepe onto the right, Auba middle and Martinelli left.

We're a **** team. Every forward progress and we pass the ball back to the goalkeeper. Guendouzi has been terrible playing out of the back. I miss having Ramsey who would be all over the pitch orchestrating the offense.

Ozil is the most easily disposed forward I have ever seen play. Dude is worthless on a team that isnt dominating.

It has been a year since Laca scored away from home. Going to need more from our strikers than that.

Hell bring him back on a free this summer

He's talked about wanting to return in either a playing or coaching capacity. If he is free this summer, I'd give him a 1-2 yr deal just to come in and be a mentor to our young MF and then give him a coaching gig after.

From Ornstein:

Quote:

Southampton were reportedly 'left shocked' by Arsenal's January pursuit of defender Cdric Soares.
Arsenal signed Cdric on deadline day a six month loan despite his Saints contract expiring this summer.
According to David Ornstein, senior Southampton officials expected Soares to leave but to a lower league club, perhaps even abroad.

To make matters even more interesting, the 28-year-old has been ruled out until March with knee ligament damage and arrived to undergo his medical at London Colney with a knee brace on.

Rumor that Juventus want to sell Rambo already. I'll take him back on a free and he takes a pay cut

Saw that yesterday. Still can't figure out why he wanted to go there. They are absolutely stacked with players at CM and he has too many injuries to truly compete with the numbers. Juventus wants 20m. Rumor that ManU is gonna try to snag him. I wouldn't mind having him back but no way in hell I give Juventus any legit cash for him, especially with his injury history.

On another note, we are rumored to be finalizing a 5m deal for a 21 yo French DM named Papa Gueye that has been likened to Kante. Don't know much about him but everything I have read has been positive.

Welp I really wanted Ziyech as a replacement for Ozil.

We should have gone in for him last summer when his release clause was much cheaper.

Hopefully the winter break did some good for us.

Nelson, Kolasinac & Saka are all back from their knocks. Mari was in preseason in Brazil and is aiming to be fit for Olympiacos next week.

Tierney and Soares are both supposed to be back in full training by the end of the month.

Only long term is Chambers with the ACL.

Curious to see if Man City's ban means 5th place gets Champions League
