Thats taking the phrase "Zinchenko will be the death of us" to its literal meaning. Hopefully he only plays in midfield with Timber back and the new Italian lad able to play LB.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
I'm starting to worry about Timber, he's injured again and given players are often never the same after an ACL, it could be we have another Partey/Tomi/Tierney on our hands
These friendlies are also worrying me, if Arteta thinks the answer is Havertz dropped to left 8 and Jesus up front, plus we're not selling Zin and messing up the Eddie Marseille deal, then things don't bode well for this season
Spuds are in talks for Solanke.
Not sure why we were not looking at him, he had a good season with Bournemouth last year. oh well
I agree he'd be a real upgrade on Eddie at least, the way we're going we'll get no-oneSpuds are in talks for Solanke.

Edward’s move to Marseille is apparently back on (one of those on loan with an obligation to buy things)
We're now playing hardball over Nelson, saying it's got to be £20m
Tbh i'd agree, only Arteta has himself devalued the player by barely playing him, so again it's his own chickens coming home to roost
From what I’ve seen of Nelson, whilst maybe it could be argued that he should have maybe made more appearances from the subs bench because of his work rate, I never saw a player that remotely deserved to be starting games ahead of Martinelli or Trossard.
Too often a poor first touch, not brilliant technically and often a player that could be outmuscled.
Whilst being English and still relatively young might just give him a price tag of 20 million, it’s probably not realistic to expect that clubs worried about how they manage FSR would not consider it at best a high risk purchase.
It probably would have helped if he’d gone out on loan last season
Whilst I do think there has been too many past instances of us selling off players too cheaply, at the moment it’s a reflection that the party is over for the super agents
If we get anywhere near 20m for Nelson then that is good business for someone who’s rarely shown anything to suggest he’s good enough. He should have followed the pathway of Sancho and others by going abroad when it was fairly clear he was never going to play here. Didn’t realise he’s 25 this year too, so that’s a lot of his career wasted up to this point.
