summer '22 transfer craziness and stupidity

[Niall_Quinn]

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 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.

Who would you like us to sign in midfield?

As I said, it doesn't matter. We've already had more than enough players in the middle who could have made an impact if Dick and Mik had been worth their pay. Go ahead and buy this guy and you'll see exactly the same cycle as with all the others that have come, impressed for 5 minutes and then faded out and fucked off on the cheap. It's the attitude that needs to change, not the players.

Aye, to be fair he was superb on Saturday, more of the same please Granit!

Ugh all it proves that sticking him in a deep lying position is an utter waste of time because whether he’s there or not the defensive work is left to Partey. We’ve got plenty of free roaming midfielders already. Get rid and bring in Tielemans FFS

No way Tielemans starts ahead of Xhaka if he comes in. Not based on his performances of the past season or so. Tielemans is a decent player but I don't think he upgrades our team, he just brings in much needed quality for competition.
