Merino will be a reincarnation of Gilberto Silva. The midfielder who simply keeps things ticking and only pops up with impact plays and perhaps goals when it is absolutely necessary.

A similar player to granit xhaka intelligent who has his limits physically and maybe technically but just has the mind to make up for it can operate anywhere on the midfield in terms of being comfortable in different zones defensively solid and also has that awareness to get into good positions on the attack good passer phenomenal at winning his duels I just find him so similar to xhaka

I really thought Nacho Monreal was really underrated with us. I felt dare i say it world class? He was at his prime at Arsenal and was a force on the left side for a while.

great video guys !

I look at players like Mikel Merino and Youssouf Fofana as replacements for Jorginho and Partey. We need a replacement of an 8 like Ramsey / Cazorla type player, players like Enzo Millot, Mahdi Camara, Amankwah Forson, Quentin Timber, Michael Folorunsho and Gabriel Sara to name a few.

Given the midfield transformation that needs to happen over the summer and January transfer windows, Merino isn't a player I'd like to see come in this summer. I think we need a more impactful/elite player to partner Rice. So we'd have Rice, (new elite player), Jorginho as the 3rd choice. With Party being sold. Then I'd like to see a new 3rd choice join in Jan giving him half a season to adapt as we phase out Jorginho.

All of this market opportunity talk. I think Arteta’s #1 attacker on his list is Isak.. Isak - Havertz - Saka Merino - Rice - Ode Timber - Gabriel - Saliba - White Raya

You guys should do more of these so detailed 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

To George. I understand that Calafiori doesn't immediately solve the LHS by being an Overlapper but if we are talking of him becoming the Ben White of the LHS can he not develop into that. Ben White didn't arrive as the player who he is now, be grew into that Role and I feel certain that Calafiori can do the same as well. He has the best attributes and qualities to become that. Davies might seem like the immediate fix but he lacks of defensively. CB to Fullback is what Arteta seems to be after eg. Gvardiol

@marcus-sky

20 күн бұрын

Calafiori was a left back, until two years ago when he moved to center back

Think it's maybe interesting to say if we did go through with Merino, Tierney could be involved in a swap deal potentially, but looking at it from Real Sociedad's perspective Le Normand is likely leaving, wouldn't be surprised to see Kubo leave (although he massively fell off after his great start), Zubimendi is constantly linked away so they will be reluctant to let him leave

@RyuNakama20

I'm pretty sure Real Sociedad are already close to signing Sergio Gómez from Manchester City.

Would you guys say he has any similarity to Ivan Rakitic?

Arsenal fans always do this they get linked to a player and then we convince ourselves that he is what we need.

Is there a review of agents

good market opportunity but I dont like this transfer, I prefer Fofana more tbh

i love how he was considered a panic buy but now everyone wants him

Are you ppl for real? So in all the 2years he spent at Newcastle no-one even noticed once and yall supposedly follow? He was one of Rafa Benitez best finds for Newcastle in a while. Very technical and defensively sound can play 8 or 6

It would be interesting to ask a Sociedad fan who they think is the better midfielder for them, Zubimendi or Merino?

I think alex should watch his time at Newcastle. The guy has a very good shot on him. Very good left foot.

Bring Merino in with Onana and I believe that ticks a lot of boxes. Both rotate for the LCM this season. Long term, Onana deputies Rice at 6, but plays with him when we face transition monsters like Madrid, Bayern, etc. Merino eventually replaces Jorginho/Elneny in the dependable backup/3rd choice role. Perfect space for a top LCM in the future.

Merino is a value market opportunity

Just sign Bruno Guimares.... stats wise, he beats Merino in 95% of the categories.

We might not even spend big on anyone at all. It'll be amazed we spend more than £55m on one player this window unless it's release clause

Good tackler but slow, good tempo setter but crap passer… sounds like a CB woke up and decided to play as an 8

Emile Smith Rowe and Havertz swapping is the simplest answer to the left 8. Just bring in an out and out 6 to fulfil all boxes. I really hope we don’t sell ESR; that’s some talent you’re not going to easily get out of the market.

For me when I look at City, closing that gap is the most FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT of the coming season. We simply can’t fail this coming season. So my dream is to absolutely destroy City with terror and get Five Players; 1. Musiala or Olmo 2. Nico Williams 3. Merino or Ugarte 4. Calafiori 5. Lunin Forget about a striker! Goals ARE NOT the reason we didn’t win the league. No6 is where we lost it. All the points we dropped was when we played Rice. People don’t talk about this, but you’ve seen how he plays no6 for England. You can’t come close to City with that performance over 38 games! He’ll be polished slowly. But upgrade and get a better no6. Musiala can play no8 when we use Rice to just sit without too much responsibility to be a deep lying playmaker. Odegaard and Musiala can rotate to pick the ball from deep.
