Reports Nypan or whatever his name is wants to go to Villa

Fine with me

I’ve only seen YouTube comps of him but haven’t seen anything particularly special in those. Arsenal only need ceiling raisers, not floor raisers this summer

A starting CF, a starting LW, a starting CM. Only GK position needs a bencher player (should be cheaper not that espanyol guy if he’s over 20m)

We have plenty of young players and a good academy. Players like Nypan don’t look like the sort to drag us to the league next season which is the TOP priority. If we sign the ceiling raisers and somehow have money to spare, by all means we can do some squaddies and prospects - but Arsenal have to focus solely on the top priority positions and players and not waste weeks and months haggling over players who are frankly not key to our plans for winning the title in the coming season.

We shouldn't do the sour grapes thing. The lad is highly rated.

His choice of Villa over city and Arsenal is the work of Monchi, rather than Unai Emery.

It goes to show how shambolic our January business was, Jason. Ayto was in over his head and I’m so glad the club brought in a new sporting director.

The Norwegian lad is an #8, a position that we have MLS , well positioned to fill.

It’s not sour grapes lol. He doesn’t look like a ceiling raiser, so I’m not interested. I’ve been saying relentlessly that Arsenal should focus resources on higher priority positions than AM so not sure how you land it on being sour grapes

I’ve not made one comment about this guy impressing me or me wanting him to join at any point since we first got linked to him

Sour grapes my arse!
