Mohamed Elneny

Well....errrr....didn't see that one coming.

No, Arsène, when people say they want an African DM, they mean big and black, not average sized but tenacious. We want Papa Bouba Diop.

Why is Basel title holder in swiss super league letting him go for only 5Million?
He looks like a mix between coq& ramsey!

Arsenal have agreed a fee for Egyptian midfielder Elneny and he'll sign early in the window according to John Cross. Cover needed.

@Sam_Lloyd14 yes mate, it's happening

Is this the best we can do? Really?

 

[highburybaby]

i like the name of elnenny without mohamed

 

[Rimaal]

He's not what we need. He's a good squad player but I doubt he can play Coq's role in the squad.
I can't believe this is the best we can do.

People should be excited. Wenger gem incoming most likely.

Just reading opinion on him from Basel fans on reddit... They're all very keen on him, say he's a good passer, plays deepest on their team in build-up and is very much involved in it, and works extremely hard. Decent at tackling and interceptions but his main strength is passing and build up. Comparisons to Busquets in style if not quality at this point.

Sounds like the type of player everyone wants to play next to Ramsey.

Or Wenegr dud. Lord knows we've had a few

Key word being few

A few too many.

Now watch me whip! Now watch me ElNeny!

Have you seen him play?

This would be a smart move. Get in a good, under the radar DM option in as early as possible. He's young enough to improve but won't put up a fuss at being benched by Coq. He offers something different than Coq and can cover for CM as well. This is exactly what I've been saying to do as there are plenty of backup quality DMs out there so there are no excuses really. I'll be pleasantly surprised if this goes through early in the window.

Do you still want Kokorin?

 

[remains]

Wenger did say we were only after top quality. Can only assume this guy is top quality.

What are people expecting? Coq is our starter.
