Yves Bissouma SINGS on a 5 (five) year deal

[miffy6]

I very much doubt we'll sell 2 of our best players in the same window. I'm looking forward to the prospect of him and Mwepu in the middle next season, could be very interesting.

This is going to seriously annoy Arsenal Twitter, who've been gagging for Bissouma for about 6-8 months at this stage and we end up selling them White instead. He'll be great for them but they'll be miffed for now.

Probably going to have to start up a mug printing business just in case...

I would definitely hope we’d be after a bigger fee than that for Biss.

This may be the sticking point as to why he won’t be going. We (rightfully) require a decent and fair transfer fee for a player like Biss. And many of the big boys can probably get far better value abroad.

And there’s no way we don’t sell with his contact ticking down, so Tony, Paul and the boys are probably quite motivated to give a year extension and review the situation next summer. The only spanner in the works is Man City, who would be comfortable paying the fee if it’s a player Pep wants.

Yep - Biss is worth more to us than White IMO……we can cover the loss of Ben relatively comfortably without weakening too much, doing the same with Biss is a different question altogether. Tony has already been clear that we don’t need to sell anyone.

Hope it’s not misplaced but I’m increasingly confident Biss is staying for this season at least.

Biss - The Computer - Gross - Lallana - Moises all competing for Center mid (not to mention others).

What a squad our club is assembling.

I would think he’s worth £50M to us. The other potential selling point is we now have evidence of someone signing an improved, longer contract, and then being allowed to depart a year later. You’d think that will be being pointed out to Biss to try and get him to sign (fingers crossed).

Exactly. ‘ Biss , sign here to double your wages and give you the protection for income should you get injured. By the way, as proven by the Ben White sale, if a decent offer comes in for you next summer which meets our valuation then we won’t stand in your way’. the Covid losses for many clubs will have been mitigated at this point and the market will be a bit hotter. Mwepu, Moder and Caicedo will have all had a year more to bed in by this point too.

Dont forget Khadra & Moder could play there as well?

Assuming he signs, the only way he doesn't after that is if someone bids properly stupid money for him (£75m+). Which becomes even more of a win-win.

And Alzate and Molumby!

People are entitled to criticise our lack of striker recruitment, but no other position, we’ve recruited so well. Our squad depth is genuinely insane.

There is definitely an announcement incoming…

Let’s hope it’s nothing silly now. But it does point to something Biss related.

Not on Twitter anymore but when I was, I don’t remember the Albion Twitter being as playful as they seem to be today going through the tweets. Are they always like that these days?

As you say, it certainly seems like something’s in the offing.

They’re pretty good most of the time and have definitely got more playful……..quite in tune with the fans. Best tweet recently was instantly posting a picture of Dunk in his Pride rainbow captain’s armband as soon news broke UEFA had reprimanded (or were ‘investigating’) Neuer for wearing one. Class.

They can be playful with announcements especially this time of year.

Sunday does seem a strange day. I did wonder if maybe the club wanted to release some positive news to offset that Ben W. is leaving.

If Bissouma does sign a new contract and with the signing of Mwepu, the (assumed) sale of White and potential signing of that spanish left back does that suggest we're going to a 4-3-3 for next season?

If we go with a midfield two we'd be looking at Bissouma plus one of Mwepu, Lallana, Moder, Gross, Alzate. That would be a lot of quality players not getting game time.

With March and Lamptey back plus the anticipated signing of Cucarella it will be 3-4-3 for me, Biss and Mwepu CMs and the Full backs playing almost as wingers.

Not really, Lallana can be game managed or injured. Gross great player but will be replaced next season? Alzate will probably suffer the most having less time than now. Mwepu, Moises, Molumby, Moder, Khadra eased into contention with Moder then Mwepu gaining most game time. Exciting times.

From what I've seen of Khradra, he looks more like a wide forward. Can he play centrally?

Exiting times indeed!!

Makes the long trek to Gillingham seem like another lifetime ago
