Lamela is going to be out until January and Alli will be suspended for the first 3 CL matches. Obviously we buy for the long term but it's a major concern. Barkley also doesn't possess creativity in the sense an Eriksen or Lamela does.Lamela (and Barkley, should we sign him) can take on that role, although not yet to the same standard that Eriksen plays it.
Barkley's creativity is possibly his most underrated asset. Most chances created in Europe amongst U23s last season.Lamela is going to be out until January and Alli will be suspended for the first 3 CL matches.

Has looked pretty average tonight. IF people have a go at Eriksen for bottling tackles they need to check out the lead up to Arse's equaliser...
To be fair if he's looking at leaving, he's not going to risk that chance by going into 50/50 tackles.
And we're complaining about Danny Rose? If you are on the pitch you should be 100% committed. He should be putting on a show not playing at half effort.
Ive never watched king play a full game so its hard to comment. Mahrez is exciting but does he fit with the team ethos? If not then we shouldnt sign him.So, if we were looking at King or Mahrez as the PL alternative attacking option, what's your preference?
Shit sake, meant to put this in the premier league thread, and i jinxed itI'm getting moist with anticipation for arsenal fan tv
Not sure what game you guys were watching. Was the best player on the pitch second half and tenacious as fuck.
Would be a dream signing
Oxlade Chamberlain you mean???
Because mahrez was toilet paper . One good pass in 90 minutes.
If we paid anymore than 10 million it would be a mugging
I think people have a natural dislike for him after we lost the title to them and at the back of people's minds that is influencing things. The same reason a lot of people struggle to admit when Chelsea/Arsenal players are quality. He wouldn't be my first choice, but Mahrez is far from a bad, one season player.I'm amazed by the indifference and negativity that some people on this thread have shown to Mahrez.
I think I would prefer him to almost any other player we have been realistically linked with. He is an incredibly gifted player. I think he could be our new Ginola.
There are also quite a few misconceptions that seem to be going around about him. The title winning season was certainly not his only decent season, because he was also brilliant the year before. The idea that he's lazy doesn't quite ring true either. Leicester won the league against all odds through, in a large part, to the consistently enourmous effort of the team, of which Mahrez was a huge part.
I think Mahrez could be a signing that almost goes under the radar, but ends up being a club legend
Fingers crossed.
