6065_Villa Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 After last nights game you can see why Unai is after him. Along side Kamara he will give us the protection we currently lack and free the wide forwards up to do their thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played as more of an attacking midfielder for Marseilles this season.

TheMightyVillans Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 This signing would make so much sense. Can slot into the RM slot and if kamara/luiz are injured then can come more centrally. Really hope this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not been a fan of this link but so many believe in Guendouzi attributes that I’m willing to bow to the masses and if he is the player some believe he is I think he’d be perfect in this midfield.

KMitch Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I don't see us shelling out 40 million for him to displace Dougie in the center of the pitch... You'd think that would be one of the last positions to upgrade after his performances under Emery so far... No, I think he's going to take the McGinn/JJ spot out wide in defense, and pushing central in possession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think he's going to take the McGinn/JJ spot out wide in defense, and pushing central in possession. I think Luiz lacks consistency. Also we are light in CM with just Luiz/Kamara as 1st team level. Dendoncker is a cut below. Having 3 players for 2 positions all competing makes total sense. People seem obsessed with there is a first team 11 and then there are backups. It's not 2008 and MON isn't our coach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I must be honest I don’t know much about him. Wasn’t he a bit shit at Arsenal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, thrown straight in as a 19yr old by Emery and was an ever present playing 50+ games. Things soured very quickly under Arteta but he was great under Emery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Just now, Spoony said: I must be honest I don’t know much about him. Wasn’t he a bit shit at Arsenal? No, he was a standout at Arsenal under Emery. Signed at 18 and impressed so well during preseason that he started in midfield for them. Had an epic fall out with Arteta after an altercation with Neil Maupay and was bombed/loaned out of the team for "attitude reasons". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah man, honestly remember watching him thinking ‘this guy is incredible’, and thinking that between him hand ESR they had a very healthy future in midfield. Was quite surprised no one went in for him from the PL when Arsenal off loaded him, but I think that might have been an Arsenal stipulation not to sell to rivals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Dougie would move to a more advanced role or Matteo would play the McGinn role depending on the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Guendouzi played CDM at Arsenal under Emery and became more of the Luiz role alongside Kamara at Marseille. He can play in the central 2 or in one of the wide midfield roles in place of a McGinn/JJ. My view is Naka and Sanson leave. We sign Guendouzi and a winger and then we're set. Another forward would be great but probably difficult to find atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least that’s what we’re attempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
