Edu’s Transfer Targets: Summer 2023

[Rasmi]

We have so many DM’s you wonder if Arteta might see them as options in defense if there’s no other option.

One would almost forget Elneny is here.

The theme this season. Patch things up playing players out of position. The squad is weirdly built and unbalanced

@A_G right now

Party time for him right now.

Another year of his favourite player.

I think this season is a write off.

Keep our prowder dry and go big for defender and striker next summer.

 

[King87]

Still not convinced of our defense tbh, if Saliba goes down again you fear that's the end of the season yet again, could also say the same for Saka maybe that's a discussion for another day

 

[King87]

There are just so many players in that defense you can't rely on...Zinchenko,Tomiyasu, jury is out on Kiwior.

We have the best depth in the league in DM

write off? We spent over 200 million on a team that finished second. If we don’t get closer than thec5 points we finished behind city it’s been a waste of money

With Saka I’d feel somewhat comfortable with putting Jesus RW and having Eddie or Trossard up top. Unless it’s a season long injury for Saka, we would be fine.

However I do agree with the opinion on Saliba. I don’t think we’re set up to cope with an injury to him. Tomi or Partey are the options at right back if he is injured.

Simikan or Todibo would be nice to cover that right side. But it’s so so late in the day and we still haven’t shifted enough players to register another.

Dont cry in Jan when we have no back up.

That's actually the perfect time to cry.

Youre right could be over by then, damn!!

We need to do what city did last season, just try and still be in the title picture at the tail end of the season, if the unlikely opportunity of them slipping up happens we are there to pounce. Not too much to ask for looking at the absolute poverty level of the quality of the league

 

[Ljonin]

All our rivals are trying to strengthen these last few days of the window. Meanwhile we lost a key player and seemingly have decided to do nothing.

Hope it won’t come back and bite us when Saliba, Ben White or Saka goes down.

Well interestingly I’d say City had a thinner squad than us last season, but managed to go wild in all comps. Issue is the quality is better. They have 15/16 players who are capable of all playing to a really high standard in the starting 11.

We can’t do anything until the bozo crew have left. Cedric, Holding, Lokonga and Pepe are still here taking up squad space.

They were also incredibly lucky with injuries last season, I'm not sure any of their first team players sustained any serious injury compared to us

 

[irishgunnerz]

AG had posters of Mari and Cedric in his bedroom

Pretty certain AG *is* Mari

Explains why AG was a bit absent on AM when Mari got stabbed in Italy.

Correct.

And suddenly now they’ve got a serious injury to a key squad player. It may hurt them more in the medium term when we get to December/Jan.

 

[SupersoakerArsene]

Guehi or Simakan as CB options. Simakan eventually an option on RB aswell. Or Arnau Martinez from Girona as RB...

Can't see Teta sign another attacker, despite lacking a good sub for Saka or a player who could compete with him, keep him sharp.
