Edu's Transfer Targets: Summer Holidays 2021

[OnlyOne]

Fabrizio said Aouar wants CL footy and that's the stumbling block. Also @OnlyOne surely you'd want Partey CDM?

No I wouldn't.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

No I wouldn't.

Odd. Don't see him as an 8 myself.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

It's actually amazing given how bad he is at general play and dribbling that he has a video like this.

Luckily we have Saka who will make Pepe irrelevant next season.

I thought you finally came around to the Pepe side.

Now instead of your usual 'I'm Pepe's best supporter', 'I really want him to do well' sarcastic lines, you have gone to wishing he becomes irrelevant next season. Sheesh, you must really dislike the guy.

This kind of animosity isn't good for your wellbeing. Let the peace and love flow mate.

Martinelli is the best LW in the team, Willian is the best RW. You can play Saka or Pepe there, all this results in worse team performances though (yes I also don't trust in the narrative of Arsenal being carried by Saka in the first half of the season, at least if carried means to carry to almost relegation positions).

The optimum team is these two brazilian in each side and ESR in the middle with either Laca or Auba upfront, I would say even Laca (but the difference is minimum imo). Now, Saka is better than Pepe imo.

Arsenal needs a CM first now, then the RB, GK and then one CAM.

Did you just say that Willian is the best RW we have? Both Saka and Pepe did better than him when they were played there.

 

[NieThePiet]

Problem is, that Arteta will start with Auba as Left Winger again.

It's okay to do this against the more stronger teams, where we will rely on counters. But against deep sitting teams it's a No-Go.

 

[boxerumble]

We’re building a proper west ham or Everton team here

Even Willian won't claim he did better than Saka or Pepe

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Dare I ask, any news?

Serious links to midfielders or RBs?

 

[Let's play Aubamawang]

I'd like to leave Chambers/Soares at RB so we can focus on other areas. Chambers' crossing has really improved making him a decent threat and not bad defensively. Priority really should be sorting out the midfield and gk.

 

[bingobob]

I'm trying to find a list of players who played yesterday to see if Torreira was there. Presumably he is still off from the copa America? Just haven't heard much about him in recent weeks.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Even Willian won't claim he did better than Saka or Pepe

Even Willian's mother won't claim that.

 

[Rimaal]

GK: Leno, Ramsdale?


RB: Chambers, Cedric



CM: Aouar?, Elneny

 

[BigPoppaPump]

I think we should try Willian at number 10, rotate him and ESR. Think he would be good there.

 

[El Duderino]

You've got to make it less obvious, mate.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Any moves in the market?

 

[MikelHadADream]

Agreed, there are no outstanding RBs around available for transfer anyway. I'd wait a season and see how Lamptey develops at Brighton (needs a full season) or see if Justin can overcome the injury he had and return to the level he was playing at before he got injured.

Spend the money this summer on difference makers in the final third imo.

 

[MikeVinna]

I know man. But there’s so much to be done I’m just trying to be realistic. Elneny and Cedric are here to stay.

 

[RunTheTrap]

I think we should try Willian at number 10, rotate him and ESR. Think he would be good there.

No. Don’t let one good decent passing move in a preseason game fool you. Willian can and will continue to disappoint us

Max Aarons?

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Max Aarons?

Is he much better than Chambers and more importantly is he £30M better than Chambers
