Winter Transfer Non-Arrivals and Goodbyes

Well it's confirmed Maitland-Niles has fooked off to Roma on loan for the rest of the season, good luck. You'll need it

[Mac76]

unless he starts a few premiership games (which with injuries AFCON apart) isn't going to happen.

Let's hope not, he's shit, get rid

Centre mid needed ASAP.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You've been linked with Wijnaldum. You should do literally everything in your power to get him.

Centre mid needed ASAP.

If we don't bring in one or maybe even two quality Centre mids in the next few weeks then our season will be over by the end of next month.

He would become our best midfielder by a country mile.

Yep I hope we push for this loan. He would be a certified starter for us. He is PL adapted and a quality player, we won't get a better player right now on the market.

Him and that young Brazilian CM we are linked with would be good business for our Midfield IMO.

Yeah, I reckon you're not far off the mark there - one of the CMs and one of the FWs will obviously depend on certain players leaving, but the rest of it looks about right to me.

Personally, I'd be looking at the backup RB as a priority, I rate Tomi that highly! So many other players and their roles just clicked and made sense once we added him - really balanced the side. Doesn't have to be a big signing - I'd be very happy with another well-scouted, Nuno-like unknown - but it does need to be the same profile. I'm already feeling like we're going to feel his every absence every bit as much as we felt Tierney's before we signed Nuno, so the sooner we can get this done the better (aside from anything else, I suspect Tomi will prove to be the best cover we have for both White and Gabriel until we can bring Saliba home, so it solves that problem too).

Going to be fascinating to see what we do with forwards - it's the one area that Arteta hasn't been able to invest in yet, and the only hint we really have for his preference is Laca over Auba.

Aye, agree with this. Tomi is a baller, one of our best and most important players for me. Arteta and Edu have a lot of work still to do with the squad but it's definitely going in the right direction with what they did in the Summer.

Balogun has gone to Boro on loan.

At least we’ve tied him down for a few years now. Would like to see him in the mix next season though, as we will be awfully light up front soon enough.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're all going out the door now we're out of the FA Cup
