I think what excites me most about the recruitment now... is that we must probably be one of the most exciting projects to join right now.
There was a time not too long ago, where I think good players weren't taking our calls and we had to sign second and third tier players.
Right now, if you are a player looking for your next club and Arsenal are interested... your mind is made up.
Wenger used to say that 90% of players' careers depend on where they end up... so true.
Hi Charles, love the channel. The insights you deliver bring me closer to the club as an Irish Arsenal fan.
I have been thinking that the recruitment success is amplified because Arteta is getting the best out of the players for the most part. I fully trust the recruitment because I trust Arteta. I know wr have a good team and its easy to contribute our success to the likes of Declan rice's performances. But Arteta is our gem. I hope fans see that.
He is a genius
If we go by data, Arteta has been able to prove that we don't need an out and out #9. We have scored more goals than City this season and wasn't to far off last season. Arteta has built a system that produces goals (shared). So yeah, I would recommend we sell Eddie, keep everyone in the attack, sell Elneny, Lokonga, and ESR. Buy a hybrid Midfielder who can DM and 8 (bruno G) We will win the league next season. We may still win it this season
David Raya is an upgrade on Ramsdale in the same way Ramsdale was an upgrade on Leno, but tbh he’s a little below my expectations for him this season and I’m yet to be convinced he is the required top tier GK on the world stage, but we shall see. I’ve never doubted Mikel’s decisions for Raya over Ramsdale though, and there is little doubt that Arsenal will make his move permanent. I’m not so concerned ability-wise, it is just a little about what is between the ears in terms of being fully authoritative and commanding, but over time there is still lots of room for Raya to grow.
I'm really happy with the Arsenal recruitment. It was a risk with David Raya that could have affected team morale despite him being better than Ramsdale with his feet and concentration. Fortunately, it worked out! In terms of Kai Havertz I wasn't happy when he signed from Chelsea but he's proved me wrong! He's a handful for opposing teams, this hight, understanding of space and skill level is exceptional ( a Germany Alan Smith!). I think he can score more goals but his link up play is great. Trossard is an amazing finisher and versatile player on both feet (great value for money!). Rice is majestic and has certainly improved Arsenal's defensive and leadership qualities. It's unfortunate Thomas Party hasn't been fitter for longer periods because this would have freed Rice to dominate more in the last third and potentially score more goals! Timber is a great player and will certainly improve the Arsenal defence next season. Arsenal need to buy quality cover for Saka, a replacement for Party (if he leaves), and a goal scoring player that can create something out of nothing when games are tight defensively. I would keep Vieira and Smith-Rowe, and sell Elneny, Nketiah, Ramsdale, Partey, Nelson, and Zinchenko.
I would keep Partey and buy an understudy for him...
Ramsdale is better than Raya
@@truthhurts1006 No. He's not.
I’ve noticed Kai making these cheeky little flick on passes and turns the past few games that has got me seeing a totally different side of him. He’s playing with so much confidence. Even his post match interviews he seems like he’s more proactively engaging the pundits. It’s really nice to see him feel a sense of belonging
Yeah you will never get all transfers right, but recently under Edu/Arteta I think they’ve done brilliantly! Really looking forward to seeing Timber again, was such a pity what happened in game one for him. Havertz looks happy and settled now and I think he’ll just get even better. I’m not worried about Martinelli, form is temporary, class is permanent!
I think we have to keep Jesus after watching him singing North London forever with all his might on the bench😁
Raya has been a brilliant signing. I was at David Seaman's debut and you could feel the disappointment that John Lukic had been let go. Seaman went on to have a superb season and was one of the main reasons Arsenal won the league. Like Ramsdale it felt Lukic was hard done. Havertz divided opinion but what a brilliant decision by the club. Timber unlucky but Declan Rice at 105m has been an absolute bargain.
Unfortunately it isn't guaranteed to go to the last day. If we don't beat United and City beat Fulham and Spurs, then it's done and dusted.
Unfortunately we are relying on others to slip up again….oooh that Villa game will haunt us….but, next season…
Hi Charles! From Johnny. It was a wonderful weekend, shame didn’t see get to say hello to you at the Tollington post-match. Somehow the more United get battered the more worried I am for Sunday, they certainly will put in more shift than they did today, and they just had the weird random luck against good teams after a battering by a mid-table team (like against Liverpool for 3 times this season). Genuinely worried as if we don’t win the title will be handed over to City before the final day.
As frustrating as it is that we are likely to miss out on the league, the team and Arteta deserve massive plaudits. We have had a real transitional period with the likes of Ramsedale, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaxa and Jesus who were all massive in last seasons transformation playing alot less of a role (or no part for Xhaxa) and we could still end up with 89 points having scored the most goals and concedeing the least. Liverpool were fantastic for so many years under Klopp and only managed 1 league title and even lost it one year with 97 points. The levels needed are absolutely insane now but I have full confidence that we are still on an upward trajectory and well positioned to be competitng and lifting titles in the years ahead.
I agree Our recruitment has been wonderful.
Everytime I hear you mention "Elneny" I swear I think you are being cheeky
HIGH WATTAGE ⚡⚡⚡
Cringe
@kunimitsune177 you're cringe for saying cringe
But Ange got the London manager of the year award for 2024...😊
Thank you - no rush mate
Yes i agree tothat statement
Martinelli not getting his head up had been a thing since he got here; kinda amazed it has been like 5 years now and he hasn't improved that at all.
I liked the comment that either or both Jorginho and Partey could effectively be the squad replacement for Elneny next season, which in itself would constitute an upgrade and is very much in line with my own view.
Guarantee the Ghanaian having an injury free season and any summer midfield recruit is gonna spend the majority of their first season primarily being patient and bedding in. The prospect of that being Amadou Onana and the potential on offer from him then being paired with Rice or Jorginho or Partey, the man he would ultimately be a direct replacement for, is rather mouth watering.
Unlike our peri peri neighbours, Arteta has already proven he's not adverse to utilising different formations and tactical approach. With this in mind I hope a double swoop on Sporting CP comes to fruition in relieving them of both Diomande and Gyokeres.
Hi Charles, Arteta has managed to challenge for the title with only one centre back on the bench, and at times with none when Kiwior is playing left back; Do you think this is a position we need to strengthen in the summer. What if #2 or #6 gets injured, can we rely on Timber who is just returning from treatment? Are we still linked with or interested in De Ligt?
Great content as always!
On topic of new CM wonder your opinion on keeping Jorginho and Partey with hope to give prospect Lewis Skelly some game time and be ready to fully be integrated following season.
Arsenal need to be careful as you outlined and this might open up to spend big on an versatile attacker - Isak, Zirkzee who seems to be able to play centrally and wide! We need to top up our front three as at times we are not clinically enough for the big prices...
Yes i agree to to that statement
Maybe I'm crazy but I still hold on to some hope that west ham could nick a result, maybe just grind out a draw against city. Their players would know it would be a great gift for Declan Rice after the many great performances he gave to them, elevating them to a trophy also. It would be a fitting end to the season.
It's our time. COYG
Pure delusion lol
Once we lost to Villa, all we had left was delusion and copium. Reality will kick back in at the end of the month.
Charles while I agree it’s hard to see City slip up, it’s worth noting that City’s last three opponents all were undefeated at the Emirates this season. Let’s hope that’s an omen 🙏
Afternoon Charles, amazing positive gunners content. Proud to be a goooonner as we all should be. Flexibility gives Arsenal more strength in depth than any other team in Premership. Also AGE is on our side as City & Liverpool have players coming to end contracts plus in their 30's. Future is Red, praying that we can pick up trophy this year but rest assured its coming to us in the years' to come. I would like to see ISAK & Olise as two improvements to our quality flexible squads plus Timber will be like a new signing. Selling Eddie, Ramsdale, Taveres and Tierney should put 100m into Edu's pocket. Think EDU deserve's more credit as all latest transfers have been a success and majority are worth more then what we paid for them so business model is 10/10. Business and pleasure of football has future proofed the next 10 years. His next purchase should be bigger trophy cabinet ........come on you gooooners!!
Hello Charles, loved the "Tottenham are well, Tottenham" comment in the city section 😂😂😂
interestingly, i know Rice will be a success but a surprise how he has exceeded my expectation
Rice, Whyte and Harvetz were all Arteta's , fact.
*White 🤦🏻♂️
Hi Charles. Love your channel and content, great work!
I would like to know what you think these options:
Striker: Mateta- seems strong and dynamic and would offer us something different from what we have in our squad.
Winger: Olise- If we manage his minutes well he could stay fit and offer us what Mahrez did at City.
Midfield: Amadou Onana seems a perfect considering his work rate and physicality
Full Back: Aït-Nouri seems to be a good replacement for Zinni, but I wouldn’t mind us just keeping what we have at the moment.
Would cost us around a £180-200 Mil , but players who are premier league ready and offer solid depth.
What are your thoughts?
Nik
Jurrien Timber IS NOT a question mark. He’s one of Arteta’s best signings.
Hi Charles
Great show as always
Do you think that if Partey stays we should sign a younger cdm that can be eased into the team for when Partey leaves?
Jacky
Hi Charles. It seems to me that in addition to signing a new #6 in the summer, we already have a midfield solution in the squad that no one talks about: Zinchenko. He could be an ideal backup at Left 8 if we give him the summer training camp to acclimate to it. We have plenty of left back talent in Timber, good backup, and we might sign another as well. Time to decisively move Zinchenko from LB to MF. What do you think?
“Transfer success” is a relative term at the moment. If it’s to include sales and bringing money in the jury is still out imo.
Partey, when fit, is world class. We haven't seen that so he should go but is there any market for a player who has been out for 9 months?
I suspect TTP will be around next season on managed, limited minutes. Lets see what summer brings.
Perhaps buying Haverts was always a win win because they knew that he could play the false 9 if it didn't work out in midfield. He can definitely fill a space in the 8 but I am glad that Arteta was willing to adapt and move him into the 9. And to be fair it has meant Rice's role has changed too as he has gone into the 8 role which I think he is better suited for.
Thoughts on Zirkzee? Seems like a lot of strong links to Arsenal at the moment and looks a complete striker even if he hasn’t scored a bag full of goals yet?
Man it’s tough for edu recruiting this summer. I think we go for Bruno G or Frenkie cause they can both play the 6/8. We have an option in lokanga if we want to save and go bigger elsewhere. Havertz and Timber make it tricky as well, Rodrygo is clear for that right sided forward that can play ST/LW if needed but i imagine jesus has to go for that to happen. I feel for Nwaneri if we buy a RW. Defense idek cause Timber and Tomi can jump in anywhere, Kiwi we can trust to cover Gabriel or Zinny, White can always slide back into the RCB if saliba goes down. Lots of great headaches to have.
hey Charles,Timber's transfer fees is 34 mil plus 4.5 mil add-ons.
Right recruitment decisions aside, wouldn't be unhappy if we'd recoup the spend on Lokonga, Tavares, Vieira and Tierney. Be realistic (eg result of recent sales ) so wouldn't expect any profits there.
Also, in case better replacements could be bought, will need to add Jesus and Zinchenko to the list above.
However, pure profits will be had from moving on Eddie, Nelson and above all ESR.
Hope to keep Partey. Even better if he'd retire from international football...
Whilst true that Arsenal have enhanced/improved the Squad with new signings.I believe it is equally the case, that the Players themselves, have generally benefited, by joining the Arsenal.A two way street then.In this context, I have found it interesting that whilst Arsenal supposedly lost out to other Teams, with regard to the signing of certain Players.They have moved on quickly to make other signings,these often proving to be of significant benefit to the squad.Whilst costing much less money.Hence my earlier comment re Arsenal benefitting the incoming Players.the Current Team Spirit has much to do with this I suspect.As too does the Leadership shown at the Club.Something of this order is very difficult to achieve in such a competitive and cut throat business. And it needs to be appreciated for what it is.
We don’t know how much Arsenal have to spend yet also how the fair play rules will pan out this summer yet!
Olise and Eze both have a starting price of £60 million, do you think we can sell the Arsenal project to them and how much would it take to grab them both? I think they would cover all attacking positions… but would they be happy not starting every game?
The 2023/24 Transer Window was very decent. Bad break with the injury to Timber however. Not convinced by Raya though. Is he that much of an upgrade over Ramsdale?
Hey Charles. I like Youssouf Fofana ad 6. Beast who can play nice vertical balls like Partey. Won't be very expensive. Your thoughts?
Charles, is there any news on Arsenal showing interest in Jaden Sancho?? Also whats going on with Fabio Viera? Is he still hurt?? We need cover for Martin Odegaard💯💯💯👍
Charles it won’t go down till the last day if you lose to united as with them beating spurs it would be a 5 point gap which you can’t bridge in 1 game. A draw wouldn’t either so that’s 4 points. We have to beat united if they beat Fulham which they will! I am hopeful of spurs beating them but we have to beat united first, I believe!
Arsenal have also been fortunate. Talk about the possible outcomes if Mudryk joined or Maddison, and Nuno.. Viera is still yet to succeed. The evaluation is comeplete when those cases are considered.
All of them are good players, its the system that are being used by their coaches, that is the problem
Charles did say you can't get every transfer right didn't he?
I disagree that we need another DM next season. We have have Partey, Jorginho and rice that can play there so surely it’s best we invest in another box to box midfielder that can score goes to add more variation and balance to the midfield.
I just think it's time to let Partey go I know he's a great player but isn't it better for the team to get someone new in as soon as possible so he'll be able to adapt quicker and the team can move on from Partey quicker...But if the Club are sure they can keep fit next season I'm all for it...But if not and he's injured again I feel like it's time and effort wasted which could've been used to coach and bleed a new player in
We categorically need a DM in the summer
I always loved ham.
Question for you Charles, as you mentioned that Raya is a clear upgrade on Ramsdale do you think if Ramsdale was in goal this season that he would have got the golden glove?
I absolutely think Ramsdale would have won it. Yes not as pleasing on the eye on the ball but is a better shot stopper.
Not much difference between them is my feeling.
I would say Ramsdale is a better shot stopper and lets not forget he had a shaky defence in front of him at the end of last season
No! We would've conceded more goals with more mistakes causing nervousness throughout the backline and defence and the team to be honest. Ramsdale needs to move on! We have moved on as a team. Raya is a clear upgrade! A new keeper will come in who has a similar profile to Raya.
I think Ramsdale is a better keeper overall.
@@truthhurts1006 That's your opinion but i think the evidence is clear!
Just to correct you, it won't go to the final game of the season if we lose at Old Trafford. City play Fulham the day before we play United then play Spurs the following Thursday. Win both and they've won the title before the final match day if we lose at United.
👍👍
Which too teams have never paid huge money for players (at the time they signed them) who were bust.
Rice is a 6...playing him as an is an option but shouldnt be mandatory. It adds more flexibility that he plays like an 8 but if you want to see the best arsenal, Rice has to be sitting as the 6 with a more natural no. 8 playing in that team
Ppl like u are as short-sighted as they come. Rice is very much a capable 8 and he can follow in the path of Patrick Vieira in that instance.
Cant wait to see his evolution.
Unpopular opinion: there’s some talk about Liverpool moving on from Darwin Nunez. 24 year old, two years in the Prem, is fast and physical (and wasteful)…..but if Havertz has improved this much under Arteta…..aaand Liverpool are willing to let Nunez go for what they paid for him…..that would be a steal. Most likely very unlikely, but the thought of Nunez up front for Arteta is quite appealing in my humble opinion.
People need to stop with the matter of selling Partey, he's untouchable !!! Can't they see that our midfield is much better with him ??? Partey just need to stay fit and it's also down to Mikel to manage his minutes. All we need to do now is to look for someone with a similar profile to fill the hole when Partey's unfit. That profile is a number 6 with physicalities, good with the ball and good distribution. Having PL experience is preferred but optional. Rice can fill in but if he fills in for Partey then we have to look for another left 8.
How about deploying Declan back to WH for this one game?
Look here folks...Moyes in the house
City aren’t slipping. You get to the business end with the title in your hands, you don’t let go. We did on the 32nd game. Time to start planning for next season.
History tells us you have to be ruthless to beat Pep. This will be their 6th title in 7 seasons. Lost once to a ruthless Liverpool that had their best ever finish in their history - 99pts. That’s the standard. Not hopes and prayers with 2 games left.
I won't stop believing until it's becomes impossible
With regards recruitment how many of the squad are now no longer at the right level and need to be moved on? I’m hoping we move on ESR, Nelson, Nketiah, Elneny, Cedric, Ramsdale,Zinchenko, and Viera. While they can still play bit parts I can’t see them playing major roles. This is why Arteta doesn’t use them much as subs and sticks to his preferred 14. Sell them and buy 3-4 top class players who can compete in the first team. That’ll give him 17-18 top quality interchangeable players Our second string is too far behind the first team to make a difference
Need to win something next year or we might have players question if a new contract is what they want. They want to win something
Apart from the fact that City go up another gear to win last 9/10 games in the running, most of the clubs they play during this period also have this mentality that city don't drop points in the run-in. Which already gives city that psychological edge over them.
Put those exact 9/10 games between GWs 10 and 20, I'm convinced city drop points in at least a couple.
Arsenal really weathered the storm. Remember how when people relentlessly went all out on Arteta for both Kai and Raya? How Raya Havertz was the only player who "pulled Arsenal back, and how Arteta was trying hard to assimilate him into the squad to justify his price," and how Raya was only there to "cause chaos because you can't have 2 number 1s?" I remember how the pundits could not stop talking about the 2, especially ESPN. It was horrible. I remember when they used to even put the spotlight on Ramsdale every time Raya made a mistake. It was horrible but we pulled through. #WeAreTheArsenal 🔴🔴🔴
My concern which is a serious one is raya does make daft mistakes what happens when he hits a bad patch? Dumped like ramsdale? And then we have Havertz who’s been far better than I expected yet the clubs after a striker so is Kai going to a left 8 position again which is terrible as it doesn’t work? Or is he benched? So both have worked out for this season but long term I’m guessing both are on borrowed time.
@@user-fv8rn4gi3xhe's reactions to those mistakes should count for something and I believe with a full pre season with the team he can remove some of those kinks out of his Armour
@@spoilbrattprudaksinz1820 yeah just wait for one to be costly and then another Arteta won’t like it and will bench him as soon as he can. Nketiah was his man now he can’t even get off the bench, worryingly Arteta ok’d the new deal for him and we’ll struggle to move a player on with a high wage. We’ll see what happens.
@@user-fv8rn4gi3x lol if that's the case so be Arteta is the boss he can Drop Raya like he did Ramsdale and Like he did Leno for Ramsdale...And Eddie was maybe a mistake that all managers make he's not the first or last one that will make a mistake like that if it even was one but we'll see
espn? Eww why would you give them any air?
To all subcribers / viewers we should really show our appreciation to Charles efforts for us. The amount of likes doesn't match the consistent views per video. Let's get the likes up please 🙌🏿 🔥
Can’t agree about David Raya. He won the Golden Glove thanks to the defence. He looked terribly suspect against Bournemouth and in quite a few previous games.
Only thing I like about him is his cross claiming everything else is meh
Spuds were poor and their RB was shocking yesterday. But you never know ....
Arsenal should try to sign Camavinga to replace Partey
Presuming Arsenal win their last two matches . . . Not giving up entirely on Spurs potentially taking points from City. Aston Villa plays Liverpool this weekend, Spurs play Burnley. Not inconceivable they are 4 points behind AV going into the game against City. If they "were then to win" they'd be a point back of AV going into the final week. I'm just reaching that they will have something meaningful to play for against City. And I guess an overall Europe spot may be significant as well. I think it's either Fuham or Spurs, don't see any chance of West Ham doing anything. When it's all said and done it's likely that Arteta was spot on when a little while back he said he thought Arsenal would need (I believe) 92 points.
City are not gonna drop points end off.
We're not buying anyone until Ramsdale, ESR, Nketiah and maybe, unfortunately Partey are sold. We're close to the edge on the FFP thing. One of Olise or Eze would be lovely. Or both.
Myth. Arsenal won community shield, finishing 2nd in the league at least, quarters in the CL and then sales revenue. We have plenty of income mate don't worry
If we lost at United and city won at Fulham and Tottenham, it won’t go down to the final day but there’s nothing suggesting we’d lose at Old Trafford. We are a far better team
9:50 correct. Charles has forgotten that shitty have a game in hand
When will city face their charges?
Who do you see leaving this summer other than Ramsdale?
Palace 4 Utd 0, and they were shockingly bad. We should be really confident of battering them next Sunday.
When you look at the quality of our recent signings it makes you realise how naff many of out old signings have been over the last decade.
My one remaining hope is that being rubbish on the run in but somehow squeezing out a win against City to hand us the title is the most Spursy thing I can think of.
Question for everyone: Should we sign a 2nd false 9 and just make that our playing style? Is there a another false 9 we could go after?
How will it go to last game if we lose at ManU? If City win they will be 5 ahead
@Charles, your biggest Arsenal surprise of the season?
Apologies to correct you Charles but there's no guarantee it goes to the final day, if City beat Spurs and Fulham and we lose at United it's over - city would be 5pts clear
Me 4 months: why move one of the best holding midfielders n the world into the 8?
Now: Declan Rice can play whatever position he wants.
Does anyone else rate Madueke as an understudy to Saka at rw?
Raya definitely not a clear upgrade on Ramsdale….
To me he is I just thinkbecause Ramsdale is still at the Club the fans won't fully embrace him...if he was signed when they wanted him before Ramsdale I'm sure everybody would've been inlove with him right now
Burnley can get a draw against City if they want it. Spuds can and will likely NEED to beat City to ensure their Europa League place so that could end up as a draw too, City have a very bad record playing away to Spurs. Fulham could try a low block to get a point. Any of those would mean the title being decided on goal difference. I predicted before the season started that the title this season could very well be decided on goal difference, and it could.
1999 was our fault, though. Bergkamp penalty miss to beat Man U to get to FA CUP final & we lost game 37 to let Man U win the premiership by a point 😢
MC are playing Spurs [lost 4-2]and WH [lost 0-5]. And we are wishing on tender mercies...
Martinelli probably lost sharpness after his recent foot injury. Jesus however was never fast though not slow
2 week loan of rice to west ham?
Nitpicking a bit, the only criticism I'd have of Raya is that sometimes he seems to act first and think second. He overreacts to a situation.
When you look at the very best goalkeepers over the decades they were always calming influences in the box and very much in control. People like Seaman, Schmeichel and even Martinez whereas Raya always appears a bit hyperactive and twitchy.
As apposed to Ramsdale?😂
Paul Merson recently said something that was poignant about transfers that I've been saying for the longest time. Arsenal fans shouldn't expect a spending spree this summer. Arteta now largely has his preferred starting 11 and we have one of the deepest benches of any big club. It would be hard to go to a player as a scout and tell a potential player that they are wanted y Arsenal. Their first question would be "Where will I play and how often?"
At this point there are very few, if any positions that a player can be convinced they are coming to take from a current player. Which fullback would believe they are coming to play ahead of Gabby and Saliba? Or RB playing ahead of White etc. That's why there won't be too much recruitment because we have quality on our bench and which players would be better than who we have on the bench now but not quite starter level?
A good 6 can come in the team very soon if he can pick up the role. LW and LB in up for grabs and Havertz wouldn't mind being beched some games as no.9 there's plenty of spaces in the squad and loads of money even before sales
@@abdullahibnmiah2986 There is Timber, Tomi, Zina, Kiwior, who can all play LB so it's not up for grabs. Plus there is Tavares who is technically still an Arsenal player. He is probably leaving but I mention him to say Arteta won't get 1 guy for that position then sell 2 or 3. Zina might not be a fan favourite but Arteta likes him. Availability isn't going to be about fans opinions on who players as a starter. LW has Martinelli and Trossard. If we get a LW then Martinelli will probably want to leave. Even Trossard wouldn't want to be benched most of the time. no.9 is one of those positions that are not rotated. Only injuries change personnel in that position. How many big clubs rotate their no.9s?
-Gabby and saliba are not fullbacks
-if a player is good enough to improve us, they'll believe they can take the spot
@@kunimitsune177
- Yes, meant centrebacks.
- If that player is good enough to believe they can improve what is already quite a strong team then that will mean one of the current starters would want out. How many current starters do you think need to be improved on?
@@jidf32 our bench is NOT that "deep" from an attacking stand point tbh I'm afraid...we literally have zero cover for Bukayo and Odegaard! Mikel has already proven he has ZERO trust in Eddie, Reece, Viera and ESR...that's a lot
Bring back glen helder.
Forget the transfers...if we win nothing....AGAIN
14:00 how much money is Elneny on? These salaries have to be paid by hard working fans going to the stadium
Love the lad but martinelli has been god awful this season. No confidence, all he does is dribble the ball out of play
With Jorginho essentially being Elneny's replacement, with no doubt outbound sales and loans, I see two CM signings needed.
Firstly to upgrade the options, second to replace Partey, be it this summer or to bed in ready for the following season.
A risky consideration, Bennacer, Milan's ex Arsenal youth player. Prior to serious injury he was probably in the world top 10 at DM. Offers are reported to be welcomed, so for less than €40M it could be an amazing gamble. He could only be worth half that, but he could also be worth double.
There is a whole bunch of failure too.
Transfer success, sure?
Marquinos, claimed to be a special talent, fabio 35m, Cedric 4yrs contract arranged with Sanhelli, Willian, Runarson, Tavares Lokonga etc.
Sales? Apart from Xhaka and Balogun, the rest given out free. AUBA free plus wages and Barca sold for 12m to Chelsea
Has no knowledge in the European market on his own without Arteta's help. Specialist in Portuguese and Brazilian players only.
Please, stop the capping. Kai Havertz was a collosal failure as a left 8. The plan was never to play him as a striker.
Raya is over rated and only has the golden gloves because if the defence and Rice.
He makes so many mistakes it's a joke.
Yeah And the defence and rice have Odegaard and co upfront winning balls back up high frequently so the defence doesn't have to deal with it most of the time,and they've all made mistakes this season but most of them can cover each other like Saliba Covered Gabriel when he made a mistake this past game...unfortunately no one can really cove a GKs mistake😅
we can only blame ourselves and mainly arteta not winning the title we should have won it, in my opinion. he messed around at the start playing so many players out of position like partey as a rb. we gift team goals too when teams do score, also we get cocky trying to score perfect goals. and still that loss to villa at home arteta changing the system the first and last time in 2024. that has still cost us whatever happened last year. nobody will beat sadly because they will just keep buying having 2 great players in each position
If we don’t buy a striker I doubt we’ll challenge next season.
What a terrible opinion, 1stly of course they are gonna buy a striker and 2ndly arsenal are going nowhere, every player is b4 their prime. Of course they are gonna challenge
We've challenged for 2 seasons in a row without a top striker😂
@@applenuts some ppl are so negative, theres not 1 player passed their prime, majority of team will only get better
@@supercellgenius9302 not only will the players get better but this squad still isnt complete unlike city. A top striker, midfield partner for rice, another winger to backup saka, another defender who is able to play cb and full back. We would easily have an extra 5 points min had timber and partey been fit all season. Even just playing havertz upfront, jorginho in midfield and kiwior at left back at the start of the season we'd have more points. Last 16 games: 51 goals, 8 conceded, 14 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw. That's title winning form
City and Liverpool won the league without a Stiker and Arsenal are on course to break their record for goals in a season for the second season running without a striker😂
Toney and zirkzee for less than 120 Milly?!?. No brainer get em in. Toney,s future worth dsnt matter as he wld def help us win major trophy by then!zirkzee will be stunning at the Mighty Arse,so no worries there!!... Negrodamus,has spoken! chuckle.
