P.s. best I have seen arsenal play in a good while

Midfield three are non existant, schar and botman havin nightmares, Isac and gordon are running in treacle... For F**** sake

LIKE THE LINE UP.

Burn is on a bad run of form, the manager needs to make a change for the good of the team. Against Saka you need somebody with pace and who is able to turn quickly, this is not big Dan unfortunately... Tino has to play!

I also like the fact Phil Giles would bring a much more fact based/analytical approach to recruitment, and he seems highly intelligent (PHd level... wow!). As from what i can read (The Athletic) elsewhere; it seems that we are slightly more antiquated in our recruitment approach (scouts watch and report). A mix of the two would be perfect.

Times reporting that we want 20 million quid for him or he will stay on for the 18 or 20 months gardening leave. liklehood is that we accept 12-15 Million for him and move on...

Just hope our management don´t fold and let the mancs get him on the cheap. 10 million or wait 20 months... take it or leave it!

Gave me the feeling that he 100% knows he´s going and just doesn´t want to say anything out of place and look a cu*t

Gordon has played striker before pretty well, would be the obvious choice to have barnes---Gordon.---Miggy up top?

Love Athletic Bilbao´s model of only Basque players, gives a real added bit of pride to the club and region. Although it does limit them to only being able to compete for the 4th to 8th slots in la Liga every year...

As an old git, I would like to go back to the "good old days" when you had mostly "local" players and perhaps a "three foreigners" only rule to add a bit of stardust. I know it´s not possible but I did think it was more representative of both a club`s region and country when this was common many moons ago... Oh well!

I think he was very diplomatic with his comments, he knows that we will sign the next "best in class" available DOF and that processes and people should be able to step up to make sure no momentum is lost. Happens in all companies... Would like the Manc cnuts to pay through the nose for him though! 7-10 mill would be good enough recompense...

BRuno is much better up the pitch. Trippier and miley tucked into the middle (box midfield) well yesterday, and bruno was more expressive because of this... Only fault was that both miley and trips were absent whe elanga and onimeyi's pace outdone burn and botman a few times. New set up Still needs work on practice pitch for me

Been one of our best players over the past 18 months. He will want to be close to the top earners, and within his rights to be in my opinion. He is key to us being competitive at the top.

Think billing would fit well with our style of play.

Gordon is well capable of playing upfront, let's not risk a worse injury by playing Isak too early...

Get back the 35 million, looks way overpriced based on minutes we have seen... If Eddie is also very apprehensive in playing him, that speaks volumes

Been a while since our press has worked so well! Good play and Miley looks ace, no complaints today

Nice goal if it had been allowed

Gash today like... Saving the genius bruno for villa!!!

Two negatives stand out: defensive covering and huge lack of pace. The rest is canny, but does look like he is playing the safe ball every time or perhaps has been instructed to do so...

Our bench was horrific tbf, livramento excluded. Whst the hell was eddie meant to do???

We have a substitute who is good enough, krafty as back up. I say sell and the get phillips in and perhaps another player if we can stretch thw funds...

Would keep Krafty for cover. decent back up

This is why phillips would be the better option, he has that passing and dribbling (more body use/sheltering ball) ability to get out of tricky situations...
