My understanding is that Partey is pretty good at bringing the ball forward so having him as the holding midfielder wouldn't really be the best use of him. I also think Xhaka would benefit from having someone with more physicality and mobility next to him.

Elneny is staying. Mikel wants him to stay.

Mustafi is unlikely to leave.

As for Chambers, there's a 50% chance he goes. But that will only happen on deadline day or in January.

I think we can get Aouar for £50m. £15m up front with the remaining £35m to be paid over the course of his contract. There will be huge add-ons regarding UCL qualification though.

last week folks, big 7 days for us

(italics represent genuine rumours)

In:

Cedric: £0
Pablo Mari: £7m (Loan made permanent)
Willian: £0
Gabriel: £27m
Runarsson: £1.5m
Aouar: £40m
Partey: £45m


TOTAL: £120m

Out:

Mkhitaryan: £0
Greenwood: £3m
Emi Martinez: £20m
Torreira: £20m (Fiorentina/Torino/Atleti, most likely loan with obligation to buy - we can use these guaranteed funds)
Mustafi: £10m (Lazio)
Kolasinac: £9m (Schalke/Bayer Leverkusen)
Sokratis: £4m (Napoli/Middle East)


TOTAL: £66m

NET SPEND: £54m

Loans Out:

Mavropanos
Reiss Nelson
Emile Smith-Rowe


Prospective Line-Up's

If both Aouar & Partey sign

Leno
Bellerin - Luiz - Gabriel - Tierney
Ceballos - Partey - Aouar
Willian - Laca - Auba


If Just Aouar Signs

Leno
Bellerin - Luiz - Gabriel - Tierney
Ceballos - Xhaka
Willian - Aouar - Auba
Laca


i think we will only convert to a 4atb if we sign one of them, we sign neither then im afraid we're stuck with this 343 for the season, which would be a huge worry - we simply dont have the personnel to make a 433/4231 permanent otherwise

I will be pleasantly shocked if we signed both Aouar and Partey.

Oh yeah, me too—it still seems like a massive long shot. I think we'll still end up with Aouar.

Right now at the very least a DM that can pass forwards and defend, Diawara off Roma would be perfect for that cos i'm sick of Elneny's back passes.

We also need a attacking midfielder who is not shy in getting back, in the mold of what we wanted from Aouar but i don't think we can pull off 2 deals now so maybe use Willian there cos he looks lost out wide.

Start the games with 3 at the back and tire teams, like today, then switch to 433 in the second half.

Aouar or nobody.


Don't waste more money on trash that we can't move in 12-24 months.

Totally agree with the second statement. Wouldn't say i only want Auoar though but only somebody of the same caliber, yes.
