Is Tielemans even that good or is it just the connection?

All arsenal fans are to want the deal done but if he wasn't linked would he be touted?

He’s a player I’ve wanted at Arsenal long before he was linked with us, excellent technically, great at linking defence to attack. He’s basically a player that can do the things we bought Xhaka to do but he can’t do.

Bit of talk that Lokonga could be loaned out, with Milan being interested. Another one who needs a lot before he can be considered a reliable first team option.

Would make sense if Tielemans is coming in.

You say he needs a lot but he's already better than Xhaka, Elneny and any of the other CMs other than Partey.

It is encouraging as surely it can only be contemplated of an addition is being considered.

I don’t actually rate any of our CM’s anyway apart from Partey. All heavily flawed/limited players, by far the weakest area of the team.

Aye, CM and wingers are woeful. Partey aside.

He's good(ish) by modern standards. Means he can kick a ball, make a pass, might put a bit of effort in and isn't a headless chicken. Fantastic and rare attributes in the modern game. Bog standard beforehand. A journeyman. But it doesn't really matter either way because he'd just be absorbed into the catastrophically pointless system that reduces every player to a tightly screwed cog in a very, very basic machine.

Decent player. Is he an upgrade on what we have, probably not but he offers something different, is experienced whilst being relatively young and when he is on it is a very good midfielder.

For 25mill it’s a no brainer.

Who would you like us to sign in midfield?
