Houssem Aouar

[carlito'sway]

How good is Adli going to do at Leverkusen ?
We wanted him over Guen before and he seems to habe done well

He is good but Douzi may be a better overall player.

 

[carlito'sway]

Did this happen last year or before? Because last summer he was still hyped a lot, and didn't get his move.

He was great the season when Lyon reached the final Four. Since he has been average to mediocre.

 

[carlito'sway]

Sounds like mentality over ability? But at the quoted price - depending on his wages - worth a gamble?

Honestly, not sure what it is....He may have been overhyped. That happens often with Lyon players.
Depending on the price, may be a gamble worth taking since we are not an attractive destination anyway.

 

[carlito'sway]

How does he compare to Nasri in your opinion?

Lazy, I know, but is it a comparison worth making?

Nasri was more talented IMO.

They reached it 19/20, so yeah, he has been worse and had "bad attitude" after he didn't get his move.

Even last season he had 30 games and 7+3, which makes it a point per 179 minutes, which is pretty good for a midfielder.

Playing in a pivot tonight for Lyon with Caqueret. For those who don't think he can play in a pivot it's worth a watch.

Actually, Guimaraes is playing the pivot role with Caqueret. Aouar is more like a 10 today.

So look even if he end up staying Peter Bosz will keep using him.

But how can he use him if he has bad attitude? Lol.

 

[carlito'sway]

So he's defo the French Ceballos?

Actually, not an unfair comparison, unless/until he proves he can step up his game consistently.

 

[carlito'sway]

So look even if he end up staying Peter Bosz will keep using him.

Honestly, they are putting him out there as window shopping too. He could likely sit for Shaquiri when the Swiss gets in shape. I see Paqueta playing as a No 10 and Shaquiri on the right of the mf.

Actually, Guimaraes is playing the pivot role with Caqueret. Aouar is more like a 10 today.

Yeah, the lineup I was given from ESPNFC had Shaqiri at RW, Paquetà at 10, and Aouar and Caqueret in the pivot. Bad information or perhaps Bosz changed mind late.

 

[carlito'sway]

Dembele just scored for Lyon after a sublime move by Paqueta.
Aouar started the game well but has disappeared the last few minutes.

 

[Legend14]

I still hold a torch for this player, as Im excited by the idea of Saka, ESR, Ødegaard and Auoar being our creative midfield options for less than 50m expenditure. It opens us up to interesting creative midfield options namely the 433, 442 diamond midfield and a lightweight yet creative 4231 midfield.

It would mean that we put more faith in Lokonga, rotating him with Xhaka and Elneny for the number 6 role. I would be open to that.

Auoar loan with option to buy, and focus on a right back before the window shuts.

This would require that Aouar is good enough to play in the PL and start on this Arsenal team. Neither are true, which is my point about Aouar. He is not good enough to even begin this speculation.

I think with Partey to come back and Sambi looking good, we should be alright, Xhaka & Elneny as back ups. I've wanted a RB for a long time. When the first list of positions was set up to vote on, RB wasn't even in the list. I voted other ie RB. I think its a position that really holds us back, and holds Pepe back too!

Who do you want?

 

[tap-in]

Who do you want?

I dont know all the RB's available, I just know we need one better than Bellerin & Chambers. If the club don't have any RB targets then they're doing an even worse job than I thought.

Definitely think he needs a change. Talent is there and it will be unlocked at his next club.

I've tried YouTube scouting the ones that have been mentioned here but none seems a clear improvement for me!

Just maybe we should look within the league. Anyone you can think of?

If only we could clone Cancelo!

What good will a good shiny new RB do when we have a manager who looks incapable of moulding a fluid, balanced and effective team?

Exactly. That's one thing that makes me think the club should not sign an RB but rather an attacking player to add on to ESR and Ode.

I have a feeling Chambers, although very poor of late and AMN could really kick on provided we get a proper man manager.
I have always admired Potter. I think, with the young team will benefit massively from him.
In fact, I'll go on to say Potter is as obvious as Kloop was back then when everyone wanted him. We have to pull the trigger fast before he's sought somewhere else, which is just a matter of time imo.
