Arteta and Edu Transfer Targets: Summer 2020

"Zaha for that price is a no brainer and that's why it won't happen" obligatory post.

Imagine if Crystal palace ask 80m again

It’s gonna be a brutal window, 4 seasons without CL football is not a blip, top players won’t want to join such a poorly run club.

Whilst the elite teams in the PL will sign your Sancho, Havertz, Thiago calibre players you’ll see Arsenal relying on dodgy links for yesterday’s guys like Coutinho or Willian.

The window that cements Arsenal as a mid table team? I think yes.

I think football proven if you got money no matter if you in CL or not you can sign anybody you want. We also mess uo big time signing players while being in CL. Could force us making smart signings specially if Arteta has final say

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Sign players that improve team and not sign players that just to make fans happy and because of thier names.

Our CB situation is enough to make you weep.

Eight on the books, one (Mavropanos) farmed out on loan already, three (Chambers, Mari, Mustafi) who are rubbish and are out with long term injuries, three of the ones available (Luiz, Holding, Sokratis) are awful and the one left is 19.

Get Zaha and give him #8.

I'd keep Chambers, Luiz, Saliba, and Mari. The rest can be sold.

Going into next season with Luiz, Holding, Sokratis and Saliba.

Absolute horror show.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

No way Sokratis and Holding should be staying after this season even I'm expecting Luiz Saliba Chambers and Mari will be here next season the best scenario and available

We aren’t selling Holding and Sokratis with current injuries.

Start the season with Luiz and Saliba and no back up? No chance.

 

[field442]

Sokratis and Holding won’t be here next season. Holding is probably loaned out to try and get his value up and Sokratis will be binned. We will have Saliba, Luiz, Mari, Mustafi, Chambers and probably Sarr as CB options. Luiz and Mustafi get let go next summer and we either sell both Holding and Mavropanos and bring another CB in or one of them is brought back.

PL strikers next season.

They can’t wait till it starts.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Next season Saliba and new signing /Mari will be partnership Luiz Mustafi Holding won't be part of it.

How is this Matviyenko and why am I reading these out of nowhere rumours linking him to us.

We were linked to him in January. Doubt we sign him now. Just feels like Sarr is the most obvious option. He ticks most of the boxes (free and left footed).

Absolute horror show.

When you look at our CB situation you just see how terrible job Raul has done. Surely he will be under huge pressure to deliver this window. Should be sacked after next season if it doesn't go well for him.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Eight center backs, and no stand out quality at the moment. That just tells you everything about the situation at Arsenal.

 

[Sammy1887]

Also this Eduardo Hagn guy is a proper bellend. Basically seeks attention by wanting us to sign every player and then plays the usual "I'm not an ITK card".

 

[Rex Stone]

Don’t think CB is that bad. If Arteta wants to transition to four at the back long term and gets a midfield that can press and handle being pressed I think there’ll be some decent improvement.

You’d hope that there’s a workable situation out of the CBs that we have.

Mari has barely played for us so we don’t know how he’ll do yet, Saliba is very young but has been a starter in a top 5 league, Calum looked great before his injury and Mustafi has arguably been our best defender this year.

Luiz is probably acceptable in emergency situations and we could hopefully move on Holding and Sokratis.

I’ve felt for the defence at times because it’s been a shooting gallery with how invisible our midfield has been all year. Teams running through it for fun, if we can beef it up with some energy and a bit of creativity it’ll benefit the whole team.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

If we want to play 4 at the back and I'm sure Arteta will want to play that next season then A good center back to partner either Mari or Saliba is important we saw Luiz can't play in 4 neither Holding and Mustafi they can't be trusted the only one had bit of success playing in 4 was Chambers and you can't trust him because he injury prone.

I think we'll make 4 signings CB 2 CM and wide forward the other signings depends if Laca Auba leave selling one of fullbacks kola hopefully gk if Leno Martinez left.
