Mikel Merino (now playing for Arsenal)


Recommended Posts

I was expecting him to be a lightweight midfielder but the lad gets stuck in. That along with superb technique and first touch.  :smitten:

 

Definitely a top player. Really is a joy to watch. I think he's been the difference in making us look like we belong in the Prem.

Someone please confirm that we have an option to buy this stud, for £7m no less?!

 

20 starts and we have obligation to buy.

 

At this rate Mike might not forbid Rafa to play him after 19 :frantic:

 

He'll probably ban him from hitting 20 before the end of the January window so we don't need to pay for him until the summer (assuming it works like that).

He was absolutely brilliant.

 

First touch = sexy

Appreciation of space

Passing = sexy

Great in the air

Snuffs out danger

Gets about the pitch well, not had a such a mobile NUFC midfielder since prime Tiote

Can beat a man

Excellent diver

 

Waaaaay better than Sanches based on this performance. Sanches should improve though.

 

MAKE HIM PERMANENT.

It looked to me that he had it in for Sanches. Mikel seemed to have an eye on him, first half in particular.

 

Similar sorts of CVs apart from the fact Sanches's route to the national team isn't blocked by numerous world-class players. Don't see how one's an £8m midfielder and the other a £30m one.
