    Time to lose Pedro then?

    Worse possible thing that could happen. Both start , Willian scores. He's even got captaincy

      I’m considering ditching him this week for Richarlison.

      Planned to wait until the next GW for this move but with Pedro a big doubt for a start (as in it’s hard to say he will start or Willian due to both playing tonight) and Arsenal’s weakness on the right, this may be a good week to make the Richarlison move.

        I'm thinking the same. But I don't have Fraser and think he's got so much form with good fixtures that he maybe scores better than Richarlison...

        No no no. At least wait for news on Mendy. Shaw played midweek so wouldnt expect him to feature this weekend.

          two separate things, one: yeah, it's smart to wait for Mendy news (even though he wasn't pictured in training today, so it's starting to seem very unlikely that he'll play). And even if he doesn't play you have good defensive options on the bench so stil not an important transfer in itself imo.

          Second: Just because Shaw played in midweek I wouldn't say that says much about his chances of featuring this weekend. If anything, with Mous comments on him (and Dalot) he might very well start. Pogba, Matic, Lukaku, Lindelof, Smalling etc are all likely to start despite playing midweek,

          But like you say, wait for press conferences at least.

        Team structures seem to be the big hurdle, the majority seem to be set up for Aguero + 2 from Arnie, Zaha, Mitro, Wilson, Ings, Jiminez. Hard to find the extra 2m+ thats needed for the upgrade. Great option though with their upcoming fixtures.

        The comments say he is hopeful he will play. He is essential to everything they do - no way he’s not playing if even 75% fit

        I do get the big picture concern that in medium term this may become a 4 week absence
