Edu’s Relentless Transfer Targets: January 2023

[ragnarock]

Memphis would make sense, if Arty is not looking to complement the squad with a striker of a different profile.

Idk about Eddie. Guess we’ll know soon enough how highly he is rated by the club. If he is not trusted in this situation might as well sell him in the summer.

We are our best chance of a title in years - we need to be serious about who we sign, if anyone. Now is not the time to take a punt.

Ronaldo is not fit for what we are trying to do. In short, if ETH cant get him working in their system, then I doubt he'll work here.

But I think the bigger blocker for CR7 is that we are not in the CL. There is no way he comes here when Messi plays Champions League.

We need a cf either way imo

What's Grant Holt up to these days?

 

[Hunta]

No panic buys.

Mudryk and Depay on loan if possible.

Depay loan would be good business. Prepare to be frustrated if it happens though. Might be the most hit-or-miss type of player I’ve ever seen.

Yeah not a big fan really but I’d prefer that than signing somebody who’ll we’ll be stuck with for years and who we didn’t really want.

I trust Teta and Edu lately with transfers though so we’ll see.

Need a winger/CF who knows where the net is and won't be expensive?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Well they met last January and nothing happen. Hopefully this time different specially the Jesus injury mess things up they need get serious

I actually took a look at him cos of your months long psy-op, some good technique on shots but I’d also say he reminds me of how Gakpo is playing but Gakpo looks a bit better. So if you want that sort of player why not just Gakpo?

I like both, Terrier is just a lot cheaper than Gakpo, probably less wages etc maybe an easier deal to do.

Title is on the line this time around, your guy wants it.

If you want someone who can slot in at CF you dont get Gakpo

 

[ArsenesCoatMaker]

Can Joao Felix play the Jesus role?

 

[Maybe]

Can Joao Felix play the Jesus role?

no, he would score some goals but doesn't offer anything similar to Jesus. Tbh, very few CFs can do what Jesus is doing for us, so nothing against Felix

 

[Sparrahork]

I still think we recall balogun if we can, if we cannot and mudryk is as nailed on as we all hope then there could be silver linings.

Eddie gets a chance to prove himself, martinelli can switch inside and show us there is a world class CF in there. Esr has a spot to come back into (possibly false number 9 if not on left), and mudryk has more chance to adapt in with potential chances on the left, but also proving back up for Saka (together with Reiss and Vieira).

If the injury to jesus is as feared it is far from great, the timing of it however means we are not as exposed as we would be a couple of months earlier. Panic buys should not be considered and hopefully we had the forethought to be able to recall balogun for such an eventuality.

 

[dashsnow17]

With Jesus out our entire attack is 23 or younger

Martinelli- 21
Saka- 21
Nketiah-23
ESR- 22
Nelson- 23(soon)
Marquinhos-19

Makes me reluctant to continue the pursuit of Mudryk tbh. With Jesus I envisioned Mudryk as a bit of a wildcard we could throw on late in games and disrupt with his pace, now it just feels a bit naive.

Not to go all Alan Hansen but I don’t think you can sustain the current pace in the PL with an attack that young.

 

[Penn_]

We’re not signing a striker just because Jesus is out for two months.

At a push Felix or Vlahovic as they’re obtainable due to their situations. But talks of Depay or Ronaldo are pure fiction.
