Aleksandr Golovin

[dashsnow17]

We get linked to a lot of players like this so it could be nothing, also he's not ready to start for Arsenal so perhaps a smaller club in a better European league would be more useful for him. However, he does look destined for big things. His technique and two-footedness are rare, as a prospect I'd take him all day long.

That Wenger quote is why he needs to go. CSKA were dogshit, and their players are dogsh!t.

That Wenger quote is why people respect him. Managers wouldn't get very far in the game by telling journalists they think the opposition is sh*t.

Absolutely.

Transfer mode is on

It's always helpful to have a player perform well against you as an audition (and I thought he performed just the right amount of well, scored a free-kick and was their best player, but not so good that we got knocked out haha). But there is a sensible argument for why there's a place for him here. Santi is gone, while Özil & Mkhi are both 29. At 21 he could be the future creative hub of our midfield.

Really like this guy, will be fun watching him at the World Cup. Would definitely take him as a Wilshere replacement.

 

[HBL]

Will be him or Meyer to replace Wilshere in my opinion

Could be Meyer, though remember there's also Cazorla to replace. With the amount of open praising going on I'd be very surprised if the club aren't keen on Golovin. He's almost completely two-footed and his technique is near impeccable. We all know Wenger can't resist that. I've liked him for a while and I've got it in my head that he'll come to us so I'll be disappointed if not.

 

[BBF]

We're not signing this guy, he's the type of signing Leverkusen make.

 

[Aevi]

He's a lovely player, I'd be happy to have him if Wilshere and/or Ramsey leave.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Been impressed with him clearly much better than wilshere. But we'll end up with Mayer because his free

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

I'm hope we are not buying him. There are better midfielders out there we can sign.

Such as?

Transfer mode!

 

[say yes]

Looked impressive over two legs, has to be said.

 

[yybecause]

Very impressed with this kid. Wherever he ends up I’ll be watching him, wouldnt be surprised at all if we are in for him, type of a player we need

 

[yybecause]

HAs that Rosicky thing about him. Creative player with a nice shot and acceleration, but then there’s that defensive side about him, the grit, determination to win the ball. Been scouting him for the last year or two, and keeps impressing me. He’s still raw on the edges but talent is there to reach top.
Wenger, rightfully so, likes those eastern european geniuses (Hleb, Thomas, Mkhi, to some extent even Özil (and Xhaka) and Aršavin (there I blame AW for not getting best out of him..)), and the way he keeps answering question about him makes me really suspicious he has his eyes on kid closely.

Yeah that stood out to me as well. I know its easy to physical against Arsenal but he did have steel, certainly more than Meyer. Also I suspect he will be less demanding of game time as compared to Meyer
