Yeah, it's the first domino, we need at least one more to fall to get a midfielder.

It shouldn’t be sorted it’s far better to get an aggregate overview of their styles but we won’t agree."Ok have a good day", then you continue the conversation
-James (or a hypothetical Memphis) shouldn't start for us. That means their workrate over 90 minutes isn't irrelevant (your stat isn't sorted by sub and starting appearances). If James were to start it should be a for cup game where we're completely on top, and in those games, I'd prefer Memphis.
You do understand Memphis tracks back if he comes on as a sub? You can look back at his sporadic sub appearances in the past, like those in the Brazil world cup. He made a run from his own half for the goal he scored. Why do you think he was deep in his own half?
Yes James tracks back more as a starter, but I wouldn't say he's better at pressing. He can cut off a passing option for the opposition's defense. but he's incapable of taking the ball off a CB (unlike Memphis who has bullied CBs on occasion and doesn't fall over every time he's challenged).
Memphis is good at pressing, evidenced by all the goals he's scored by winning the ball from pressing. I referenced the game against England where he did exactly that and pressed perfectly according to the manager's instructions.
Or do you think Stones/Maguire weren't under pressure when they gifted Memphis the ball and they'd have reacted the same to James running at them, who they could easily shield off the ball with just their pinky?
Have a good day.
James shouldn’t just start cup games he’s well suited to games where we need to drop off and counter. Or pin back a opposing LB.
He’s not incapable of that.
We’re not going to agree here so good day. Memphis pressing once in a blue moon does not make him good at it. Over a sustained period it would be lying to call him a good presser.
This is a waste of both our time. You have an odd dislike of James and don’t seem to appreciate the role different styles of players can have.
Love these "never been in doubt" at the end of the window after they spent weeks talking sh*te
Wouldn’t worry too much, there’s deals to be done if players leave. Can genuinely see movement on deadline day, unless Rio’s being a dicktease…he did say that deadline day would be mad for Man Utd
Unless Alex Shaw is Luke's brother I'd say he knows about as much as I do about our remaining business, and I know feck all.
Oh well if true although it’s not the best source we’ll just have to hope McTominay and stay injury free upon his return and continues to improve his game because Matic is past it and we sure as hell can’t rely on Fred playing there, yesterday clearly showing why.
Will we get a midfielder by deadline.?
Yesterday showed how bad we need a top midfielder.

Given the deadline is tomorrow, will it still be possible to conclude deals for foreign players? Unlike contracts, visas can’t be processed in a matter of hours - is there a requirement to have a visa prior to transfer deadline?
Indeed. Hardly a bold prediction given there's less than 24 hours to go.
As if Arsenal couldn't get more depressing. I genuinely think they'll be relegated within the next few seasons. Sinking ship.
Transfer request via Instagram. That's new.
You think running around is pressing. No, it's cutting off passing lines and winning the ball back in the opposition's half. Situations which Memphis contributes to and has scored from. Overall work rate includes tracking back too, that's why you're stat sucks. And like you're admitting yourself. James should only start cup games. Games where we'll be on top, and we need to score. Every professional footballer, including Memphis can run around energetic and track back like a lunatic for 20 minutes at the end of matches like James.
You're straw manning me a bunch of times by pretending I said James is shit. No, I didn't. I disagreed with someone who'd take James any day of the week over Memphis.
Have a good day
That's abit of a crybaby post by AMN but i can understand his situation
Literally. It has crying baby faces in it.
Not that far. May be in 10 years or 20 years but not in few years. The owner is rich enough to prevent relegation.
Genuinely don't think their owners care. And if/when they do, it will be too late to stop the slide.
Arteta is a bad manager, but who makes their current side competitive?
If you separate club's names/reputations from their squads, where do Arsenal's match up? Mid-table? Lower-midtable?
Assuming Aubameyang won't return to his best, they've got no match winners at this level bar Saka.
And this is after having spent more than anyone else this window. And they still need options in the positions they've bought for this summer, and this is before they've really shipped out their deadwood!
Savilla are now moving the price down but still higher than Chelsea wants to pay.
Arsenal were crazy to turn down £25m for him last summer. For all the criticism gets, Edu has to be one of the worst sporting directors.
Surely there's someone around Europe we can just take a chance on. I understand we won't find the perfect midfielder but with another injury to a Midfielder we don't even have options. Right now it's Fred/Matic for 2 spots unless we keep playing Pogba out of position. Just sign someone who can fill in in case of emergency at this point..
If they are in danger for relegation then of course the owners care, if they get relegated, they won't get lot of money incoming to their pocket.
Why are Arsenal holding all their worst players hostage? Bellerin wants to leave too.
If we were competent throughout the summer on offloading James, Lingard and Henderson then we would have a pretty tidy sum to invest in the midfield and a right back then challenge for the title.
There isn't even the whiff of a link to a midfielder at the moment, running out of time.
Some of you really want us to just buy any midfielder with no plan or purpose but just to fill up the numbers in there and when/if he doesn’t work out here, he will be deadwood or dross in a couple of years and you’ll be moaning for him to get out of the club like Fred, Matic and James. I mean, really?
After we've seen how Fred/Matic have played so far this season and McTominay injured? Yes, I'd take anyone even if they turn into deadwood. Our midfield could completely derail the season.
Exactly, it all just smacks of the usual lack of planning and nous
