De Bruyne?

[Neville Kneville]

And besides Silva and Sterling, Arsenal's midfield looks so much stronger.

No it doesn't.

It's a 1 out 1 in policy. Dzeko was on a big contract so there's negogiations to be concluded. All's good though. Then we will move formally for KdB.

@Bluwhit But surely it's 1 in, 2 out - with Jovetic and Dzeko out, and KDB coming in?

Leaving a space open in our squad for that 17th non-HG player...?

I think Iheanacho would take up a foreign spot in CL as he hasn't been here for 2 years, Zuculini would though he has an Italian passport, I think

Both would require a place in the list of 17 foreign/any players. Iheanacho would be able to go on the B list the year after and club trained the following year.

 

[cleavers]

Wasn't there some confusion whether or not Zuculini and Iheanacho would take up foreign spots?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sure I read that.

ToureToure will score about as much as he did last season. 2 seasons ago was an aberration and not the norm. He generally scores between 6-12 goals a season. That should pretty much be the expectation. 20 was above and Beyond normal. Anyone expecting his goal tally to go up really is just being hopeful. The stats, his likely usage, and hus advanced age, all suggests something similar to last season or less. A return to 2 seasons ago is the least likely scenario. X

Cheeky £20 says he'll score 20 in all competitions, should he stay fit??

Watching us pre season, I'd be very surprised not to get a shit load of penalties this year, sterling being the victim in most instances...

I'm going for 12+ and his usual 8/9 from open play!!!

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

Why is Zuculini being mentioned as a possible first team squad member?

Not a cat in hell's chance

I fully expect the media to start portraying Sterling as a serial diver at the earliest opportunity, in a bid to undermine that possibility! We've already had 2 absolute stonewallers ignored pre-season........

Both Iheanacho and Zuculini would take up foreign spots in the Champions League squad.

Zuculini would take a foreign spot in the Premier League squad, but Iheanacho wouldn't.

I love how the one in one out theory has evolved from Jovetic out De Bruyne in to Jovetic and Dzeko out De Bruyne in.

 

[Manchester33]

So is this the De Bruyne thread or what?
