Let's get cooking.

If we sign a new cb it’s over for me Cumberbatch

Arteta could sign 3 CBs and you will still love him. Who you kidding

I will probably put money on Arteta and Edu signing another LCB/LB hybrid and a keeper next season.

I would, too, because I think we'll ditch Kiwior and Zinchenko, and Neto is a loanee.

100%. Kiwi and Zinch will go and Gabriel's future is a bit in balance due to his contract situation, maybe even Saliba's so Arteta will want to integrate one more defender 100%.

My money is on Branthwaite because he fits Teta's "tall, technical, LCB/LB, and white" requirements. His last name also ends with "white" so that's a plus as well.

We'll probably go for that Spaniard as well between the sticks.

Ehh? Timber doesn’t fit that description. Tomiyasu doesn't either. Bit of a stretch. It's really just Calafiori and White that fit it among his signings. Maybe Kiwior as well but he's not particularly technical.

Inaki has Edu in a ball gag and gimp suit until he gets his Spanish keeper. We won't see Edu at work until the last week of the January window.

-thwaite actually comes from Old English meaning sloping meadow/farmland, similar to -tveit in Norwegian.

Basically another summer Arteta spend big on his defence. I definitely can see him move Gabriel on just to scratch that itch for new defender. Good luck getting anyone as dominant on set pieces as Gabriel. Guhei is not great in the air

Kiwior, Rice, Havertz, Merino, White, Calafiori. Tall, technical duel monsters.

Thanks! You learn something new every day. It was a tongue-in-cheek joke btw. Both this and the comment above due to claims Arteta has animosity towards certain type of players... cough.

Too cerebral a post for AM. You're really wasted on this lot, brother

Sveit in Icelandic.

I'll balance it out with some ****posting in the future, don't worry!

According to Austrian painter Japanese is a pure race as well so he probably fits too.

Viktor Gyökeres with 9 goals and 3 assists in 7 games already. We might have missed our shot this summer window. Hard to judge with portugese league though

Our biggest need is not a prolific goalscorer, it's a creative midfielder who can deputize for Ødegaard and be another option on the wing.

It's becoming more and more obvious to me that we should've targeted the likes of Doue, Eze, etc. That creative attacking mid/winger hybrid profile. The need became even more obvious after we let ESR and Vieira go.

Elite option is Kvaratskhelia, Musiala, Wirtz
Realistic option is Eze

Is there a reason why we can't compete salary wise with clubs like Chelsea, Man U etc. Arsenal is the biggest and most successful club in London, the largest and most wealthy city in England.

Are we will haunted by moving to the new stadium 20 years ago by paying off the debt?

I agree. But I still want a great striker. Been soo long since we had one.

It's nice to talk about other things than our bigliest need

Williams Kvaratskelia or Musiala for me. Pay them what they want within reason.

If you can’t sign those, then start looking at Eze. But he doesn’t really solve our gaping problem at LW.

 

[Red London]

If we are gonna continue to not really build up on the left hand side maybe it’s better to sign a LW/AM hybrid and play him there.

However you would hope we want to actually build up there so we don’t rely just on Saka and Ødegaard all the time. If that’s the case, an Eze wouldn’t work, we need a player who pushes up onto the touch line if needed. Some 1on1 pace and explosiveness. Williams ideal, Kvarat and Musiala have enough.
