Williams would be amazing in our system. Him, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard, Kai, Gabriel Jesus... that's a fearsome and versatile frontline. But somehow I see broke-as-shit Barca somehow getting him, though. Neto would be a good addition; we need more depth in MF. And supposedly we're haggling with Bologna over 3m. Get em 'all done, and let's enjoy the barbecue at Edu's.

At our darkest, he was one of the glimmers of light.  December 2020, West Brom, in the snow. He was so good in that match (him and Tierney).  I was sure he and Saka would lead our line for a decade, but I don't blame him for wanting to leave for regular playing time and wish him nothing but success. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

This one hurts.

Also reportedly Barça couldn’t find the cash Nico Williams has opted to remain at Bilbao. At least until Madrid decide they want him or Barça find the cash.

Back 4 looks incredible.

Need another impactful midfielder, sounds like that will be Merino

Need another winger and a striker to replace the likely-to-be departing Eddie.

I mean... we've increased the talent just a smidge, would you say? Tierney I still think would have been great for us had he not been so brittle.

Wish him nothing but luck. Hopefully he can stay healthy and show his quality in every match but two (OK, I'll allow him a goal or two in 4-2 Arsenal wins).

Also need another defensive MF because Partey will get injured and miss five months.

Some comments on Merino. Seems he'd slot well into our midfield.

"Merino is the type of midfielder Arteta would create in a lab if given the chance. He is press-resistant, creative, combative and, above all, a duel-winning machine; Merino won more aerial duels (168) than any other midfielder in Europe’s top five leagues last season. Like Rice, who Arsenal paid around £105m for last summer, Merino is an impressively complete midfielder. He can step forward as a No 8 and lead the press, as the Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard often does, but he can also defend deep as a No 6 when required, whether that be alongside another player or on his own. Merino even has experience of playing alongside Odegaard: they were in the Real Sociedad team that won the Copa del Rey in 2020. Merino was the man of the match in the final."
