How was your weekend @hydrofluoric acid ?

Fine. I went back home to Vestmannaeyjar. We had festival were we celebrate when the volcano eruption at Heimaey 1973 ended.

The festival was a bit different than previous years because of covid but it was nice to meet all my people and friends!

How about you mate?

Sounds like fun! I was down yesterday for some reason but the Arsenal win made me happy, had a great day today, did a nice 3 mile walk around a beautiful park while talking to girls who walked past.

Do you read what I type on here? Ive been pointing out million times that our attack since Laca came has been spiraling down in quality. It is boring and lack flair and creativity.

Arteta said they are some way off in getting his ideas of attacking patterns and exploding space but that will come.

I also pointed out the stat only City(27) and Unied(24) have scored more than us(23) in 2020
Surely its goof starting point in fixing our attack!

Not really, no. But yeah you're right about the attack.

 

[benjamin86]

I was going on about him for ages. Same with Thuram and Adama Traore.

If Aubameyang signs, Thuram would be so perfect for us. They could rotate in game between LW and CF.

You should read more from me! It will do a lot of good for you!

He would be expensive now. Only been in Germany a year. Edouard is the man. Has a higher ceiling than Thuram as his ball striking is on another level.

I think on football understanding and knowledge you're numero uno in terms of player analysis. I'd vouch for Edouard too if either or both Laca and Auba leave.

Yeah i wanted Thuram last year too. I'm not familiar with Edouard, watched some highlights and he reminded me of Lacazette.

 

[Garrincha]

Lacazette / Saint-Maximin is the most obvious swap. It makes sense for all parties involved.

They desperately need a striker, we get one of the most exciting talents in the league & stripes are slimming.

I know laca is not world class but he never going to Newcastle

 

[Sanchez11]

The party life is good up there Laca would fit right in tbh. Not happening mind!!

The only thing they have in common is a short backlift and power on their shot. Other than that, Edouard is over 6 ft, better in the air even though he could improve, has a better final ball, shoots off both feet, drifts wide, drops deep, runs in behind. He is also fast. Not Auba pace, but probably as fast as someone like AMN and Martinelli. His ball striking is impressive, especially from dead ball. Honestly I'd take him above Osimhen.

Edit: forgot to mention, he can dribble for fun.

For the style of forward Arteta prefers through the middle, Edouard ticks most of the boxes with age and affordability as well. Osimhen from the little I've seen of him seems more of the Auba style of forward?

 

[lomekian]

I think we've needed a decent productive winger for a while, I wanted us to sign Hirving Lozano before he went to Naples.

Things haven't gone well for him there. Like the player but don't think he's the right fit for us

 

[A_G]

Newcastle journo here...

 

[HairSprayGooners]

So Mikel really wants a LW...

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Isn't this thread a waste of time ?

Not really as its coming from half decent sources.

 

[dashsnow17]

Offer Newcastle to double their money on what they paid last summer, and offer Saint-Maximin a nice pay-rise and you could probably strike a deal if you were decisive enough.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

That interesting now but still can't see it happening
