Maybe my opinion of Xhaka is from his days at Arsenal and he was a fan boo boy and wanted out of Arsenal for a while. Still can't see this one happening. Desperate for two centre backs.
I get that, I had a couple of years of just hating him however, his last 18 months or so at Arsenal he was unreal - his last season in particular he was different class and they finished 2nd Been really impressed with him in Germany, all round game is just very good
Of all the credible links we’ve had, we’ve signed them all other than bulka and petrovic. Two that might not go our way too are xhaka and lucumi. Either way every credible link is a really exciting and ambitious signing. Really confident we’ll be pleased with what we end up with come September. Fingers crossed anyways
Obviously nothing is guaranteed in football. But if we manage to sign the two links today. We start to think less of relegation and more who can we catch in that lower mid table section.
They’ve pulled out today. Was tweeted a few minutes after our bid and talks were tweeted. By the same journo
It's such a us type of signing and looking at what we have done for Jobe it may make sense for him Never actually seen him player anywhere other than left back but seems like a player Will have plenty of interest
He's better in CM imo, good size about him and technically very good (unsurprising for a City player) Would depend on price for me and whether we are looking at Xhaka or not
Really impressed me last season. Not sure we can really offer him the guaranteed minutes but he is extremely versatile.
Think it was scout I had a conversation with about signing him on loan, but now ... I actually don't know if he's what we need.
