    I'm cool with that. Don't fancy him

    #Oh Nketiah we will never know
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    That was predictable with Aubameyang and Lacazette both gone

    Only Elneny, Xhaka, Holding and Leno left from the pre-Arteta era

    It was predictable that Arsenal wanted to keep him, but less obvious that he’d want to stay, particularly with them apparently planning to drop £60m on Jesus. I’d be shocked if Nketiah was their first choice striker.

    Gabriel Jesus is clear of Nketiah

    But Jesus is also quite versatile, can see him being used left, right, centre....with Europe there are plenty of chances for both

    I'm not bothered though

    I don’t think Aguerd is coming in as a left back. If he is, I’d be pretty disappointed that we’re dropping £30m on a fullback that has barely played fullback in his career.

    Aguerd is to take over from Ogbonna as season progresses (potentially immediately).

    And Rennes have said farewell to Aguerd:



    They clearly hold him in very high regard. I think he's a starting CB straight off the bat. Hopefully a defensive spine of Areola, Zouma and Aguerd; all French speakers so comms should be all good.

    Not sure what Aguerd's Scouse is like though 🤔

    Competition for Dawson

    Ogbonna, if anything.

    Zouma/ Dawson on the right, Aguerd/Ogbonna on the left.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Aguerd is coming in as part if the first XI next to Zouma

    Dawson is amazing and has been a great servant, but this guy is an upgrade (on paper) and he's going to allow us to be a bit more progressive
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    When I was searching how to say his name there some very impressive clips. Defending is always very hard to judge from clips but he seems very mobile.
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    I agree not having a natural left sided cb hurt when ogbonna was injured so good signing if it happens
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    OCS, He may not need to understand scouse. 🤞

    I think Yeold is saying wrap up a GK and LB next. Not Aguerd as a LB.

    Who knows though, I mean we splashed out how much on that huge hit Vlasic and how often was he in the starting 11 ……

    I agree totally but it did make me wonder what Issa Diop would look like on youtube highlights/clips ?
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    I assume Diop will be leaving. Let's hope Ogbonna stays fit if he does.
  • Brother_SledgeBrother_Sledge
    Just checked one out from March 2021 and he looks awesome !

    jay, I can only see this being a problem if DM trys to play Aguerd CF.

    If Antonio gets injured he might have to 🤣😂
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    jay, Based on our extremely long scouting process in identifying a new striker that may well prove to be the case. 😬
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Dim recollection of Ian Pearce or someone playing CF cos all our strikers were unavailable

    Lingard scored 3 in 3 as a CF for us and as I mentioned earlier Moyes doesn't seem to do proper "strikers"
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    ASLEF, Yes as shown with Antonio.

    There’s also nothing to say Vlasic wouldn’t be a success. I’d keep him, personally, certainly over signing Sarr. He’s young & has clearly bought into the club spirits

    When Vlasic gets 5 games as an attacking midfielder, we’ll be able to judge him. I wouldn’t judge Bowen for 5 games at CM.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Benrahma’s a better CAM than Vlasic. So he’s way down the pecking order to get that space. I think he was done during that period when Moyes was heavily rotating the squad and still not even using him as a sub.
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    Looking forward to seeing our first signing :)

    Rumours from Italy (TuttoMercato) that Vlasic is close to joining Torino on loan.

    Good for the player with the World Cup coming up, but further depletes our squad. If he does go, we must be bringing in at least one AM.

    Dennis is cheap and a half a season wonder... It will be him :)

    We've taken an age to get in a relatively unknown defender! Attackers who are in demand will take at least until January :-O and yes, I am not being specific on which January

    Yes, I am being negative in a prove me wrong/devils advocate surprise me type of way

    Moyes being Moyes I think we're gonna go in for En-Nesyri as our main forward target; we seem to have a habit under Moyes of going back in for players we've shown an interest in during previous windows.
