So I'd be in the Havertz camp over Jokeres.

I, I, I'd be as a, for, you know, you need to, you do need to have a kind of a forward threat and just think with Odegaard, he can make a difference, but he too often is safe.

And, um, like as he's just got that ability to take on a couple of players, beat the PSG press.

smash one in from 25 yards to me he would be the difference maker and that's where I think you would compensate if Havertz is there as well like you can kind of I think you can have that maybe more just slightly more attack minded player in the 10 position because you can he can help you do that work I think one area where Arsenal are better is in goal Safanov and they spoke about him before was it Barney that was suggesting he looked like he'd come out of a Kent nightclub I think it was and

I don't know if he just looks dodgy because of the ponytail, but he's definitely unconventional in the way that he makes his saves.

And Rea, he's just been exceptional for Arsenal.

And he is capable of just having an incredible night and just saving everything that PSG has.

throw at them I'd probably go for a PSG narrow win but um it would you know those are the type of things Arsenal are going to need to go their way I think if they're to win Rayan needs to play well you need to you know somebody to just do something special in that final third I think it is about time that I admit that signing Rayan and putting him in ahead of Aaron Ramsdale was the right call from Mikel Arteta I think it probably is

I think after my average Joe faux pas earlier on, maybe I'm the Anthony Gordon of Football Punditry.

I think Gordon is underrated in the Premier League terms.

Barcelona and Bayern Munich wanted him.

Thomas Tuchel loves him.

It hasn't finished well this season for him at Newcastle, but there were times earlier on in the season and during his time at Newcastle where I felt like he was kind of ready for that next step and

Newcastle will feel like they are awaiting maybe the final step but I think there's a lot of potential still there that's untapped the way that he runs in behind causes a lot of problems for teams I'm not actually sure that he's exactly what Barcelona need when I look at kind of the quality they've got in that forward line already I would have felt like a

spending that money on the centre forward given Lewandowski's age might have been the wiser option as far as Rashford goes I mean I would yeah I would assume that like he does a similar job they're going to be competing aren't they for that England spot on the left hand side but you never say never with Barcelona because they have a weird way with kind of transfers and their policy for bringing in players but I wouldn't have thought you'd bring in both

E.K.

Casemiro, replacement defensive midfielder, has been very good.

He was very good for Atalanta when they were Europa League winners and kind of knocking on the door of being one of them Champions League teams that was dangerous.

I think...

Atalanta have gone backwards slightly this year, not through any thought of Edison.
