The good
Nkeitah has been our best player. Has shown good pace, power, movement. Also his finishing has been impressive.
Willock - Continuing where he left off last season. Great on the ball. Good passer and makes good runs in the box. Scored a nice goal against Fiorentina.
Saka - Has shown tremendous dribbling ability. Direct and can combine with his fullback. Also played some nice passes and had a chipped goal against The Rapids.
Martinelli - Good pace, physicality, and technical ability. Direct with a great work rate. Needs to work on his finishing but it's not like he is Iwobi bad. Can see him improving it.
Laca and Auba have been sharp.
Xhaka looked great against Bayern but was sloppy in his short appearance against Fiorentina
Both Leno and Martinez have been really good also.
The Bad
Nelson - Hasn't shown much yet. He is talented though and it's early.
Mustafi - As is tradition Mustafi is a complete liability. Get him out of the club.
AMN - Coman from Bayern absolutely ripped him to shreds. We need someone at RB until Hector is healthy.
Monreal - Struggled in the back 3 against Fiorentina. Age has caught up with him it appears but it's just preseason. Maybe he can pull it together.
Jenkinson - Can not get a good cross in to save his life.

Gareth Bale. If we had the money to spend £70 Mill I bet he could be ours.

The good..... we have a plethora of young attacking talent. I was extremely impressed with the confidence and ability of these guys. Some of them will definitely be loaned out to get some first team minutes but it is going to be a tough decision on who goes and who stays.
We are severely lacking a box to box and attacking center mid. Ozil only shows up about half the time and Xhaka just isn’t good enough for the position. We saw what happened at the end of last season when Ramsey was hurt. (Torreira and Guendouzi are not currently playing)
The bad... the defense is shite. If the other teams could finish, those games would have been much much different. Socrates is the only player that should actually be starting for this team. If Mustafi is our starting center back for the first half of the season, you can kiss the top 4 goodbye. Monreal has lost a step and AMN is playing out position.
The first priority for the transfer window should be a CB and then outside back. Another winger would be great but the defense and offensive center mid are much more important imo.
