Houssem Aouar

[Oxeki]

On paper maybe. Liverpool and City have unique midfields. Liverpool is about control with hassling , domination and breaking up play. City is possession and movement to control. The system picks the players. At Arsenal what is the system ? Once that is in place , we can pick the players. It’s not about putting 3 good players , 2 of them new signings and expecting them to play. Post Covid we have seen how Arteta sets up his midfield. Very similar to Liverpool. Niles came into the team to bring the shape , stability and structure to stop the opponents.

Liverpool's midfield is not set up to create chances. It is set up to disrupt the opposition.

City's midfielder is set up to create chances and dominate games.
An Aouar-Xhaka-Partey is has a bit of City's and Liverpool midfield attribute IMO

 

[Oxeki]

On par with Man utd i would say. Better than Chelsea and Sp**s though

Yeah, good shout that

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

i have a feeling we can get Partey and Aouar

 

[Riou]

Gimp

Me too. Or at least Partey plus an Aouar alternative if we lose out.

Get f*cked man, 20M increase because of a couple of nice moves in the CL.

If it wasn’t for corona he would get it too. Ajax got 80M from Barca for Frenkie with the same results as Lyon did (different style). If you are cash rich you can get some great deals this year.

 

[ChefMan21]

I think we need that kind of quality/standard, so the price - with the usual negotiation - is where I expected. Not in the top 3 of my midfield target wishlist (Neves, Puig, Bentancur are), but certainly within the top 5 or 6 (the others being Camavinga and Tonali).

I must say I'm liking the quality we're targeting between Aouar and Partey, since Partey is also easily within my top 10 midfield targets...

 

[SupersoakerArsene]

Just offer 15/20 mil + Guendouzi.
Guendouzi also a young talent and French.

We get rid of Guendouzi and get a real baller in.

Partey, Gabriel, Aouar (and Willian and Sarr free) would be a great summer :Celebration:

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Actually think this might get done for Douzi + cash.

I don't get why bald checkbook manager want Aouar when he have De bruyne B.Silva and Foden.

It just screams let's buy this giy so our rivals won't buy him.

 

[Eduardo_da_Silva]

Aouar pinging balls to Pepe and Auba in transition would be beautiful.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Lmao he's saying it was definitely rejected now and not left.

Pep already said Foden is replacing David Silva and they wont sign a replacement.

Also they have one more spot left for a foreign signing, the rest have to be homegrown players. You'd think it'll be Koulibaly.

[MikelHadADream]

This one is obviously reliant on us offloading Torreira and Guendouzi at the very least, which I think we will struggle to do.

Its a shame as I think the player would jump at the chance to come.

 

[krackpot]

$ity has been having issues in AM ever since Toure left. They would be daft to miss Aour.

Especially since Pep does not want to use Mahrez and B. Silva

 

[The_Playmaker]

Aouar is a ligue 1 proven talent who has played well in the champions league.

Guendouzi is a Premier League proven talent, who is proven in the Europa league and also called up to the national team.

In what world is Aouar worth double what Guendouzi is worth. Guendouzi would walk into the Lyon team and dominate the French league. His value would sky rocket.

I would offer Guendouzi + 15 million max. They get a ready made replacement who will boss the midfield. Going from ligue 1 to the Premier League is hard. Going from the Premier league to Ligue 1 is a walk in the park.

The key thing is they would be getting a player who can grow in value. Not some cast off like Juventus try and give you.

Cmon Aouar is clearly the more talented player.

 

[Jasard]

Can only really see them selling if it makes them loads of money, else what's the point? Douzi's real value is very different to what some on here think imo in this market.

 

[bingobob]

In this market Aouar is comfortably worth more. Not only is he a superior player courted by better teams we want to punt Guendouzi because he is a bit of a ****.

The first point alone makes him more valuable the second widens that difference further.
