Raul's Transfer Targets: Summer 2019

[Gunner-Union]

def need a cb. ake would be around 50 mil and could compliment saliba well
tah would be great but also expensive
not sure who we will get atm but we def need a good cb

 

[Sanchez11]

No cb is a bad window even with Pepe coming in.

 

[Tosker]

CB is center back

I know that so why would Ornstein say we're looking for a centre-half? I presume he didn't and he's being misquoted, which only shows how poor AFCstuff is

You do know that a centre-half is the same thing as a centre-back?

Orny said after the pepe deal Arsenal will be looking to strength thier defense they hope to add center back befote deadline day and maintain interest on celtic LB Tierney

no I must confess I didn't ops:

that explains it then, though I have heard cb mentioned all the time and this was the first time I heard centre half

you must forgive me for being girly - and I played hockey at school

Pepe signing was fun but this window has been bad for this coming season, if we don't push through with LB and CB then the club have more or less written this season off

During the infamous Q&A Raul used the old "Like a new signing" thing when he talked about Chambers and Holding. Lets hope he wasnt serious.

For those that need reminding despite the fact they were young at the time, the Chambers and Holding partnership were ripped to shreds against Liverpool a few seasons back. I don’t think Chambers has improved since then especially as a CB.

On another note - Theo was a deadly finisher from the right. I would have actually preferred keeping him instead of Mkhitaryan tbh.

Take Pepe out it is woeful tbh

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We'll get Tierney in not sure about CB we need to be sure we'll sell kosh mustafi before getting one

 

[Divided_Pie]

Considering the fact that fullbacks are the most crucial position in Emery's setup, this window will be a failure unless we at least get a first choice LB in.

Chambers is crap, the guy has been at Arsenal for 5 years and if you had to count the amount of convincing performances he's had in that time you'd struggle to make double figures.

 

[Mark Tobias]

Yes, because Theo is tearing the league apart lately.

 

[Gunner-Union]

ake can also play at lb well and id decent at dm too.

Key word is was.

He’d do much better than Mkhitaryan and would have provided us with a bigger threat on the counter.

Theo > Mkhitaryan any day of the week.

Theo > Mkhitaryan any day of the week.

Theo was huge on counter attacks and helped using the full width of the pitch, it was against lower league teams that sit back 90 minutes where we got thirsty for a Mahrez/Pepe/Zaha kind of player.

A massive weapon to have in transition he was

 

[MikeVinna]

Well this window seems to be ending in disappointment. Thought we’d snap up Tierney quickly after Pepe and getting rid of some of the dross we have in the squad. And then make some final moves for a CB.

Now it appears we should be happy with any signing for our flailing defense.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Pretty poor pre season. Sooner Bellerin and Holding back the better, desperately need some defenders in.
