Edu’s Relentless Transfer Targets: January 2023

[jones]

we have enough young players in the team to develop. The people who are into developing young players constantly jump on to the next young players. It’s a never ending cycle. Lokonga isn’t doing it anymore as he is 23. Let’s move on to the next younger player. It’s actually boring now. Last 15 years Arsenal fans have talked about the future

We're not talking about a 16 year old who could do a job in a couple years, he's dominated in WC KO ties. Ran 15km vs Spain and put in another MOTM performance three days later against a team many saw reaching the final.

I like Sambi but don't see him doing much here, we've handled him poorly and that big ACL injury before he came was worse than assumed.

Another yute though, so we shouldn’t invest stocks in to his project

Can’t see us adding a French speaker tbh. Anyone know if he speaks Portuguese?

Seven years since we last played CL is unreal to think about, horrendous for a club our size. Last time the CL anthem played at the Emirates Moscow17 and Peckham were still calm ffs

The last time we were playing in the CL…dabbing and doing that mannequin challenge was still a thing

We’ve been some tired club for a while now.

I believe the word you're looking for lies somewhere in the game below

Catastrophic stretch really, not nearly enough heads rolled for this imo.

Last time we played on Tuesday nights people were posting Vines from their brandnew iPhone 7

I bet you had this on repeat back then:

Better goal scorer? What’s the most league goals nketiah got in one season? Depay got 22 in Dutch league and 20 in Ligue 1.

That's when he used to run. Also he started every game..Nketiah really hasn't had many starts. No doubt Depay is more versatile and better technically, but the guy walks a LOT.

Nketiah is 23 and has not had one good season at any senior level. Forgive me for not having faith in him

I **** with 67 heavy but funnily enough early on I liked Brikky more than Hillside, hella kwengins was my ****. Switched quickly afterwards though lol

2016 had so many classic releases, Harlem, 785, M17 etc unreal times, great time for music in general. Best UK Drill song/album from that year (and probably all time) has to be this tho

It's not Nketiah or another striker.
We have 16-19 games in 3 months and not one player can start them all

Our last game in the CL was just after Trump had been inaugurated ffs

After our last CL game Sunderland were still playing PL football

That's like 3 games every 2 weeks.
Is that so much of a problem?
I would hope the majority of our starters are starting all those games.
Do you think we'll be resting Saka, Saliba, Ødegaard, Partey, etc. in any of those games?

We have nothing to go on really in those years other than a run of 8 starts last year.
TBH, in that run he was excellent.
I suspect we will now find out if he can maintain a starting role for longer.
Keep in mind he's only played around 4500 minutes of senior level football which is not much more than a season of effort in which he's scored 26 senior goals.
It's a goal every 172 minutes - or just better than 1 in 2 games.
Given the stop start nature of his playing time, that's actually very good.

@OnlyOne was still 2 years from doing his GCSEs, mad when you think about it

 

[razörist]

@A__G are there any serious rumours about a replacement for Gabriel Jesus?

Nothing serious yet. Expect the European market to start heating up after the WC.
