I also do not think we are dithering, just no one speaks to the media and that makes people crazier than they already are.
still not sweating any of this zubi, kepa, and nørgaard in the door is a great start (bonus: no partey) have my preferences at cf and lw, but trust ultimately whoever we end up with imo
I’m a big fan of getting the depth pieces in first. no scrambling to make up numbers at the end of the window and ending up with Neto and Sterling. the big stuff is going to take time.
SugarShaun - What’s your take? Like most, I don’t really care who of the 3 is signed, they’re all pretty close, and all 3 come with question marks Hugo probably complements Kai more, much better shot volume, but piss-poor conversion. Sesko offers route 1 option, abysmal shot volume, but more accurate - probably highest ceiling Gyok- think he’ll score a time of goals somewhere, and kinda hope it’s not us
I didn’t watch a lot of Bundesliga last season so am fairly ignorant. I just saw that Hugo’s match rating was significantly higher last season and he had 5 more G+A so was just curious.
Leipzig stunk this year for some reason. Not sure if Sesko was a major contributor to that or if his form suffered due to it. Either way, just give me one of the tall Bundesliga strikers please
You seeing anything other than expressing interest & conversations with his people? Not exactly what we need, but I’d love him and the release clause structure seems workable
Team Eze but I’m having a hard time seeing a Crystal Palace attacker being successful at arsenal… Spoiler
Eze is one of my favorite players to watch in the Prem. If you’re telling me he’s the third attacking signing in addition to a striker and LW, I’m absolutely over the moon about that. Certainly one of Leo or Martinelli have to go if all of that happens, though.
I'd much rather keep Martinelli. I think Eze would basically be an upgrade on the role Trossard currently plays (with more of an ability to play in the midfield).
I’d keep Martinelli if only because he’ll stay wide and hug the touch line if needed. LW: Martinelli/Eze/Leo CF: Kai/TBD/Leo/Jesus/Merino RW: Saka/Ethan/Martinelli/Jesus 10: Ode/Kai/Merino/Ethan?? 8: Rice/Eze/Merino/Kai/MLS?? 6: Zubi/Nøde/Rice/Merino LB: MLS/Ricky/Kiwior/Zinchenko/Timber/Tomi LCB: Gabi/Kiwior/Ricky/Tomi RCB: Saliba/White/Timber/Mosquera/Tomi RB: Timber/White/Tomi/Saliba Injured or unfavored names aside, maybe a bit heavy
I wonder if we are announcing one new signing a day between the men and the women (Kepa, Chloe, then Zubimendi, followed by Hinds, then Noorgard, etc.)
Adding some much needed depth to your poster list, I get it WillySaliba sorry but please report to the Madrid thread
Arsenal & Tomiyasu agree to part ways. They reached an agreement to terminate his contract. As unlikely as it seemed, I held out hope he would regain health and play for Arsenal again. I am disappointed, even if I know it is probably for the best. Source: Arseblog news
partey just got charged with multiple rapes really bad look from the club having him this entire time https://news.sky.com/story/former-arsenal-player-thomas-partey-charged-with-rape-13392365
Absurd that it took this long, only gave credence to those who insisted there was nothing wrong with the club continuing to play him
I don’t understand the disconnect with people not understanding there’s nothing they could do until there were charges. Also glad he’s gone
