    Great premise for this video. Was thinking about this yesterday when we were linked to Ruiz
  • @dele-586
    Great video, seems Merino overall would be a better option in terms of balance, aerial ability.
  • Let's get both, We need depth in midfield. They are both 8s but Merino feels more like 6 / 8 and Ruiz an 8 / 10
  • after watching the bournemouth preseason game i think were going for ruiz. he fits the nwaneri lcm role better
  • @allelaw7015
    My heart is going for Merino. I am always thinking about when we lose the ball what happens?
  • @effayeyeayzed
    Rarely is it that both targets are so similar that either one improves the team almost similarly. I personally prefer Merino’s final third savviness and overall presence but also would not mind Fabian Ruiz’s composure and second nature passing.
  • Get the one who is the least injury-prone. If budget is not a problem, sign one and get the other on loan.
  • @DJ0064
    Great comparison James!🔥
  • @therealyute1764
    We getting either or the other, not both. I think I would rather Merino but don't mine Ruiz. The only way I see us getting both is if Thomas goes, so having both would balance the experience in the midfield. I think Arsenal is just keeping there options open ..........which is the way to do wise business.
  • @user-ei3ye7ut4p
    Merino resembles me of a typical arteta player but on the other hand fabian Ruiz offers something different
  • Rice does really work as a 6...he's better as an 8. We should be getting someone who can really play the 6 position, can't fully rely on Partey and/or Jorginho. Fofana would be a really good, not great buy to start building into that role...
  • @jamesbond5481
    Let's get them both, they're cheap and will raise the floor massively. Next year when Partey n Jorginho leave we can buy a Musiala type player
