Jean Seri

[One Love]

I like Keita but I'm not a fan of waiting a year when your two best players are 28 years old right now. In that case though, I'd sign Seri now AND go in for Keita next summer. But Wenger would never. If we sign a CM this summer in his mind we're set for a few windows regardless.

 

[Garrincha]

We should go for Keita in a respectful manner later in the window.

Liverpool seem to annoy the **** out of every club & clearly unsettled the player.

Lets take advantage.

He's the main reporter who has linked Seri with us this summer, still pushing that story.

And yet he never seems to publish it in the paper where he's the deputy editor of the sports section.

Guessing Nice would want to complete their champions league qualifier before negotiating a Seri sale.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Don't think he's that perfect of a fit personally. He doesn't seem to be a tackler, and Xhaka isn't the best either, while both average above 70 passes per game meaning they have a few major similarities. Not saying they're anything alike as players, mind.

Still, no concrete links to this either.

Xhaka is actually a good tackler. He's just undisciplined sometimes. That's something he can keep working on. Tackling isn't Seri's strong suit, but he has exactly the sort of engine and mobility needed to partner Xhaka. In that respect he's kind of an offensive version of Kante with the passing and ball movement of Santi Cazorla.

Yeah....if they don't play the CL, Seri will definitely be expandable.

I reckon even if they qualify, he's expendable. Makes sense keeping hin to help them qualify.

Does seem weird he's the only UK journalist running the Seri to us stuff. Doesn't necessarily mean he's wrong but strange nonetheless.

Reckon he's made it up personally, but lets hope he's to Seri what Jason Burt was to Lacazette.

Haven't seen anything of this guy, not happy that he's another midget, if he's who we want though I hope we get him for the midfield.

He looks 100% bald, as we know, bald people can't be trusted, transfer is off.

Better hurry up then, Wenger won't be able to say he nearly signed him if he never makes a formal approach;.

If you'd just tell Wenger where your magic money tree is allowing you to get deals over the line by adding an extra £15 million every time, maybe he'd do what you would do...

Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? Sort of like, Joe Bloggs is a good finisher - he just lacks composure in front of goal sometimes.

For what it's worth I don't think tackling is his biggest problem. In the old 4-2-3-1 set up when we had both full backs in the attacking 3rd, any turnover in possession and he'd panic to concede a cheap foul because of his lack of pace being exposed.

The current set up suits him much better, but he still needs a more mobile, assertive and technically/tactically astute partner I feel.

 

[Red London]

We always seem to be competing with Everton for a player. Last time we signed a player they were rivalling us for it was Lucas Perez.

Let's hope this is more succesful if we go through with it..

Didn't we decide to go into the United model of "we weren't really in for him"?

 

[Red London]

Remind me is this guy an extremely **** source or just a little bit of a **** source?

 

[grim_tales1]

If they do though, would he be cup-tied for CL? :s (Assuming he comes to us).
