​​@@FalseGYMYou're right but Trossard was brilliant because he scored goals. Outside of that he wasn't able to get that involved in the game just like Martinelli because of the players behind him

Man's named after two world class coaches, he must be good!

He allows for the progression of an academy player, Nwaneri. This is something we know the club have in mind when they are planning, is also why I fully expect either no ST or an experienced one to ensure the pathway for Chido is clear. Merino/Trossard like signings give us a clue into positions we will see more youthful players having spaces for.

He'd be perfect. A bit on the older side but he's experienced and can show the team a winning mentality. Great on and off the ball and would be a great addition to the starting Xl

I think it will be an excellent signing. Left footed, low fee, ton of experience and just won a big tournament with goals mean he will come with full confidence. All the youngers will be able to learn from him

He could be a good fit especially if Partey gets injured again and Jorginho isn’t as quick or physical. I would like to see Arteta use Patino, Skelly and Henry Francis in the 1st team if this transfer happens. However if De Jong becomes available and for a good price I would say go for that. We don’t have a profile like odegaard and not sure if Vieira can fill that void.

Frenkie de Jong is the dream midfield signing.

Rice did a great job for us at 6 during the beginning of last season. At left no.8 there’s an imbalance and Martinelli gets isolated. Merino looks like an affordable backup in the left 8 position. I’d love to see us sign Xavi Simons or Eze for a high energy dribbling half space marauder for a tactically different first team player. Why is Fofana unattainable?

Don't be stupid....Rice clearly upgrades us. His ability to intercept and win back the ball is elite. Without that we don't get as far in the title race as we do. ​@@FalseGYM

Not as silky as Partey but physically and defence awareness seem to be an improvement. Partey can be rather slow when trying to pick a pass and gets pushed off the ball rather easily. Merino seems far more solid and should allow Rice to play the 8 position as he has been. £30m isn’t that big a risk either.

They are quite different merino is a duel winning moster and one of the best arial midfielders on the planet. He is not a regista though like jorginho. More of a xhaka type

If we can't get gumiraes, we just get Morino and eze combine for over 80m. Rice take the 6 role. We decide who should start between him and eze depending on the nature of the opponent
