Central midfield options

With it being quite obvious we will be looking for at least one midfielder in the summer. There have been a few with we've been linked with over the past few months. Two of them were on show in yesterday's game between Wolves and Leicester the players being Neves and Tielamens.

So starting with Neves it might be a bit controversial but I really don't rate the player he seems to be a little bit more mobile and a less stupid than Xhaka I don't see him massively improving us in midfield. Tielemans on the other hand is an interesting prospect it can't be denied that he hasn't had his best season but that pass to setup Leicester's goal yesterday just showed his class, its time he moves on from Leicester and given his contract situation it may not be a costly transfer to do.

In the last day or two we've been linked with Fabian Ruiz of Napoli, I don't know a massive amount about him but he seems to be linked with other big clubs so again that maybe interesting.

One thing is for sure we must have a new partner for Partey if we are to move up a level.

I'd like a player similar in profile to houssem aouar. A technical wizard that can help control midfield aswell as contribute going forwards.

No to tielemans. He's good going forward but rubbish defensively.

As you point out, neves is decent, but he's not someone who takes this team up a level imo.

Let's not forget we have the likes of Lokonga, Patino and Azeez already at the club.

"Don't like Neves"

"No to tielemans".

Gooners still deluded I see.

Would take Tielemens even though he’s extremely overrated. He is a different type of player to anyone in our squad and we could actually get some decent value for him considering that he isn’t English, HG and time is running out on his contract

As bizarre as it was to see we spent more than any other club in the world last summer. It's not really deluded to imagine the club would be willing to pay the fees required for such players (regardless or whether they're the right players or not, the fees would likely be within budget).

My comment was really related to the posters turning their noses up at players that would both clearly improve your starting XI.

Ok fair enough. They might well improve us but being better than Xhaka could just be like being a less smelly turrrd.

I'm not sure either would make sense for what we're missing in CM

Neves is better than Tielemans.

We should either go for a number 8 like Aouar or just get Yves Bissouma.

Neves wouldn't improve our u23s. Bar a good shot he is extremely average. Tielemans wouldn't be the best fit for our style.

Really? I think Tielemans would be ideal for the slightly two advanced CMs setup that Arteta is playing?
