I will be over be the moon if we signed him.
He is a complete player with world class potential.
He is not really an attacking midfielder, more of a second striker like reus and messi.
He reminds me of reus when he was in his Mönchengladbach's days.
His final third contribution is splendid with good finishing unlike most of the traditonal AM like silva and ozil.
He has decent height, 1.81m, good pace and more importantly high work rate as he likes to tackle to regain the ball.
He had been playing on left wing, behind the striker and right wing for them.
His dribbling skills is extraordinary and his off the ball movement is good.
His link up play is very good, coupled with his accurate finishing, i think he can be mould into the perfect forward for Arsenal.
Or he can easily displace Cazorla/Podolski on the left as he is like a combo of them both, with the passing, creavity, dribbling and most importantly scoring.
Our left side over the years has not been as prolific since the days of Pires and Cole.
We rely too much on Walcott and Sagna(now Debuchy) from the right side to break teams up.
If, IF, we can get Firmino and Ricardo Rodriguez to replace monreal and cazorla/podolski, we might get a left side with a balance of attack and defense
for the coming years.
However, the priority now must be a DM, and after that, hopefully are Firmino and Ricardo Rodriguez as they show too much promise with peanut value (around 10M, at most 15M) to be missed. Dont really have faith in Gibbs' injury record.
