Sorry if this also sounds a bit negative but I think the purchase of Mosquera is more than just defensive cover, I think he’s meant to be a replacement for Saliba.
I don’t mean Saliba will be sold this summer, but read that spending this summer is meant to be offset by big player sale next summer. I think Saliba most likely that big player sale.
Just a theory at this point of course
Xhaka on the verge of signing for Sunderland, that’s them fucked :lol:
In which case sensible planning - we always need to contemplate our important players leaving, and I suspect that if we don't win anything again next season this will be a real risk.Quote:

As long as we get plenty of money for him, I wouldn’t massively begrudge him the move
Yes if we fail again this season ('fail' being relative to expectations that is) there could be a mass exodus next summer if players like Saka, Saliba, Gabriel etc think they need to go elsewhere to win something, or even just fancy a change of scenery and there's no culture of winning here to prevent themQuote:

Well here is another good tactical and personal writeup about Goku. TBH I have enjoyed the way the Sky team has been analysing players recently, but I think what's more interesting in this particular writeup is the bit on his personality from one of his previous coaches.
In summary it suggests we're getting a player with an actual personality and an ego that could be Henryesque. That might not be a good thing with someone like Arteta at the reins, but really we need to shake things up a bit with less yesmen.

Completely agree, I actually welcomed us getting Trossard for that reason, some people said he was 'trouble' but he just wants to play and will fight to get it - Arteta says the same and unusually seems to tolerate it with Leo, so maybe he sees Gyok as the same kind of personality and gets itQuote:
