Doesn't strike me as a bad egg but perhaps he doesn't train hard enough. It's one thing being poor but if you work hard it's enough for a manager to keep faith in you that you'll get better. Clearly Poch hasn't had any faith in him for a while.

Arsenal hoping to get Zaha for £55m if he hands in a transfer request. Feels like that would be better value than Lo Celso, especially if Eriksen stays...

100%


Zaha is set on arsenal though, his boyhood team

Yeah if he'd rather play Europa League then good riddance

Nit sure Zaha would add anything to our squad, would he start?

He would if we changed to a 433 probably but it’s not just about getting players into the starting 11 but upgrading the whole squad.

To many times last season we had no options on the bench

Really? He was one of the best performing players in the league outside of the top 6 clubs. Definitely could add to our squad. Not as if some of our regular starters are consistent throughout the season, or always available.

Not going to have any new attacking options on the bench next season though it seems

News update:

Lo Celso is another 0.5% closer to being done.

I thought we were pretty much almost over the line with it?

Tbf he got offered a decent contract last summer with the rest of the players.

I honestly think he doesn’t want to stay.

The hope might be that he changes his mind after the Ndombele signing, and the options open to him not looking as good as he might have expected. But yeah you don't say you want a new challenge if you're interested in staying.

New contracts for Eriksen and Toby would be better than any new signings we could make

If we can tie Eriksen and Toby down next week and get Lo Celso/ Sessegnon through the door then it will be an incredibly successful window. Until that happens though, I’m not getting to excited.

Last year I think he keeping his options open by not signing a contract - he and his agent knew they’d be in a position of strength this summer, holding all the power. But he’s admitted himself it would have to be a step up for him to leave and he’s not exactly been overwhelmed with offers. The deal we’re now offering is bigger than last year, and supposedly includes a release clause for foreign clubs which means he still has options during the term of the contract. We look to be strengthening - I genuinely think we’ll sign GLC regardless of whether CE stays or goes. The more the window goes on the more I’m leaning toward him signing a new deal.

Read some tweets earlier claiming we’d offered Toby a new deal too, but couldn’t see any concrete source or substance to back it up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we can keep Eriksen and Toby, and bring in GLC as well then it's a good window for us. A solid 7 out of 10. Bring in Sessegnon and hang on to Rose then goes up to an 8 or 8.5 out of 10, but Sessegnon's arrival may well depend on if we get Rose out the door.

We won’t get Sess AND keep Rose IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. Levy will want some more sales for a start if we are to bid big to get Lo Celso and end up keeping Eriksen and Toby.

Be a shame as Rose is the best full back we have, and I don't believe anyone, including Sessegnon, is going to reach that level in the short term.

I think we'll be aiming to have a more solid defence next season with foyth and Davies at full backs, no like them guys will make it solid, just what I think poch is thinking.

Lo celso, sessegnon and a forward(probably re-signing llorente) is best we can hope for, with eriksen staying a bonus.

Rose only other major sale.
