Zubi ain’t going anywhere I don’t know why we get our hopes up.
Would love to be proved wrong but even with the Basque connection I just don’t see Arteta getting him to leave
Arteta on the phone to zubimendi “ look here I got fogging standards, I got three generational talents in my team. I need you to play with Declan, the midfield will be so good even VAR won’t be able to give enough dodgy goals to beat us”
Please Tierney I have job for you
January headline: Arsenal have recalled Albert Sambi Lokonga from loan
If his injured for the year, then we probably will
peak Arsenal move this.
Zubimendi for 60m to Douglas Luiz for 80m
No chance on Luiz unless he had some kind of buyout clause back when he signed a new deal.
Douglas Luiz is clearly aware of our interest since summer 22 and yet he still signed a contract last year, he’s clearly happy there, forget him and move on
isnt he dating someone from the club too?
“He(Luiz) is considered the perfect midfielder by people at Arsenal. They would love to sign him”
This is just looking for engagement, Rice was their top target that’s why they were prepared to go to £105M. If Luis was a top target he would already be at the club.
The things I’d for Zubimendi
I’ll never forget the infamous black van allegedly leaving Douglas Luiz’s residence on Deadline Day last season.
Both Zubimendi and Douglas Luiz sound more like summer targets than January ones because it’d be very expensive and difficult to get them. I’m still of the opinion that we won’t do anything in January but maybe I’m being pessimistic.
We have to sign someone. Our season sort of depends on it. Jorgi is great but we can’t have him playing twice a week
I agree that we won’t touch the midfield in January. Realistically, we wouldn’t get anyone in until the end of January and by that time Partey will be back or close to being back. I think we seriously go for Toney and/or Neto to bolster our attack and also give cover for Saka on the right
I’d be happy if we went for some young talent, like Saliba when we bought him in 2020, but I’d be ok if we didn’t get anyone. We spent tons of money in the summer transfer window, so we should be good until the summer
Depending on EPL table and injury situation, we should learn from last season.
Premiere league experience is almost a non-negotiable for Artets. Damn.
Also experience comed with fitness adaptation, have u seen Declan rice, Jorginho, Ben white constantly surfing through matches with matches while Partey u know what im saying,
Mikel Merino to Arsenal here we go
The way RS are playing Zubi ain’t going anywhere
He’s also an academy player of La Real, he has loyalty ties to them and besides the fact he’s also Basque. He will keep to his word and won’t leave the club for a good while.
Loyalty can be turned with bigger wages mate
Nah there’s a good chance he moves if fellow Basque Arteta calls for him after he’s achieved his dream of CL with sociedad. Also sociedad may want Tierney permanently so we could do something here.

Missed the boat on Luiz, he was there for the taking now Villa are in a stronger position, he’s an important player and re-signed for them.
People at the time were questioning why him.
His turn in form shows our management know more then players and pundits.
Havertz will come good
will be very hard to get him tbh, he’s villas best player and he renewed his contract after they refused to sell. But I’m all for it, as long its a reasonable price
Villa gonna ask for 60+ at least
