2020 Transfer Deadline Day

[MikelHadADream]

Those who know ball know that Lemar is an amazing midfielder, especially in thight spaces. He is just in the wrong club.

Just like James Rodriguez he just need to move on...

Lemar in a 4-3-3 in midfield would be just delicious. Technically he's still a joy to watch...

Very similar player to Saka imo, I dont see the point, he would just be another expensive mistake.

I shudder to think where we would be now if they club dropped 90m on this guy. Would have certainly meant no Auba, and Lacazette/Lemar as the main forwards for the last two years...

Hows Källström's back?

Asking for a friend.

Orny was wrong then.

Dont think so but it doesnt really matter anymore, right?

Yes just more money in budget not being used

Nope. Just more money going in the white supremacist Kroenkes pocket

I take your point but is Saka going to play 55 games? Yeah you’ve got AMN to play LWB as well but he adds very little creativity when he’s higher up the pitch. Having said that I wouldn’t sign Lemar just because I think he has been out of form for too long.

Maybe if Arteta changed the system to one central striker surrounded by three attacking mids/wingers, you'd have Pepe, Saka, Willian, Lemar as those options around Auba. But it'd be a total tactical shift from a defensively solid formation to a Wenger-esque attacking formation. I can't se Arteta doing that, and I can't see Lemar playing the LWB/LM hybrid role.

Objectively speaking, the club have done the right thing here. They’ve signed two quality players in Willian/Gabriel. While it’s evident we need a quality CM, during the pandemic and it’s effects it’s vital we shore up the balance sheet, as any good business should. Fully expect us to rectify this when the situation improves next summer.

White supremacist? Jheez mate calm down

White supremacist Stan doesnt care about race, he care about dollar signs.

 

[El Granit-Coq]

From Partey and Aouar to Lemar and Soumare... What a time to be alive.

This club sometimes man

 

[dashsnow17]

Bentacour just played 34 minutes for Pirlo so far.

Maybe they are willing to sell him? Could be a panic buy.

Arsenal are scouting with Fifa 14, they haven't heard of Bentancur yet.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Funny Sokratis Mustafi still Arsenal players we still have 8 CB's around. What is this BS

 

[MD3 Gunner]

White supremacist? Jheez mate calm down

He is. The evidence is overwhelming

 

[razörist]

Less than 3 months until the winter transferwindow guys!

We will not sign Lemar and Soumare either so dont worry.

 

[MikelHadADream]

We need a miricale today. IF Kolasinac/Sokratis/Mustafi all go, we could maybe see a midfielder coming in.

IF we can get Partey, then its a good window imo.

Klopps first window saw him bring in Matip/Wijnaldum/Mane.

Gabriel/Partey(?)/Willian would somewhat mirror that.

Praying for a deadline day madness bid for Grealish

Nah **** that. They’ve targeted two players who won’t be there for us next summer so it’s been a pointless chase if they come away with neither of them now. Next summer it will be completely different targets (Aouar will get a bigger move and they won’t spend £45m on Partey at 28 years old), targets we probably could’ve signed this summer. They were too fixated on Partey and Aouar. They could’ve signed van de Beek with the money they offered for Aouar. That’s one example.

 

[AndStill]

I think maybe it was all too much for us to achieve this summer, clearing out so much deadwood on high wages, the inactive market and of course many **** ups along the way from the guys leading us.

Arteta, Edu and Vinai are all new and inexperienced in their roles so maybe they will learn quickly for next summer.

Mods can we close all other threads and just concentrate on this one. Collective misery should only be applicable in one thread.
