Edu’s Transfer Targets: Summer 2023

[ChefMan21]

If they’re as close to Bellingham as the Madrid media thinks, I wonder if Camavinga is expendable.

Doubt it - too many players beating retirement.

Mac Allister is just a Buendia regen.

Except he’s not though is he. Completely different players. Mac Allister was one of Argentina’s best performers at the World Cup while Buendia can’t even make the squad. Mac Allister has also performed consistently well in the PL whilst the jury is still out on Buendia.

If Rice's name was Arroz everyone would want him.

Yes probably because if his name was Arroz he'd cost closer to 12m than 120m.

Right, like Tchouameni, Enzo, Mudryk, Nunez and Rodri.

Great comparisons to very similar players all with the exact same circumstances around their transfers. Proper Arroz post this

I think its sometimes being aware that it's not black and white with players. They aren't good or bad. A lot is dependent on their system and who they are surrounded by.

We can see it with our own players. Martinelli looks better when Trossard or Jesus play CF. Jorginho looks extremely comfortable in our set up.

Rice has Creswell at left back, Soucek in midfield and Antonio up front. I listened to a podcast about Trossard from a Brighton perspective before we signed him. Apparently he struggled at false 9. His ball control wasn't good enough. He was just a good finisher and if he didn't score he struggled to impact the game. Is that the case with us?

Rice next to Partey, Zinchenko, Ødegaard and so on will go up levels instantly. He plays to a high level inspite of West Ham being poor. Honestly, you'd think we have learnt from White and Ramsdale by now. People still turning their noses up.

This never ceases to amaze me. I fell in love with Arsenal because the team back then had a certain English quality to it & the aggression/physicality was a draw for me as it mirrored my own style of play.

Football is global but Arsenal is an English club & should strive to have the best players of all nationalities but with a decidedly excellent British core.

Rice, West Ham's best player by a considerable distance, will grow exponentially with coaching under Tets.

I haven't seen any indication so far that Arteta is willing to part ways with Xhaka. Not that I don't agree with you, but might be the case we are not gonna invest in CM as many expect here

Valverde has played half of his games as a RW this season according to Transfermarkt.

Camavinga has a long contract so I doubt they will get rid. It's Real Madrid anyway, they are bound to have great depth.

People are irrational sometimes - they want a great English core but won't sign the best English players of the day because <insert feelpinion here>. Don't try to make sense of it...

For me Brandt is the player Arsenal fans hope ESR becomes. Similar styles with Brandt being a clear upgrade when it comes to staying involved in the build up.

ESR scored more goals last season than Brandt has in any season in his career. Brandt is good, but not worth buying now we have Trossard unless we are giving up on ESR. Brandt also goes missing when the going gets tough

You have to wonder what our playstyle, and an possible title win could do for ability to recruit.

Real Madrid are after him apparently

Real Madrid willing to offer €25 million plus Castilla player to sign La Liga prodigy

Gabri Veiga has been one of the rising stars in La Liga this season. At the age of just 20, the youngster has racked up eight goals and three assists this term, playing a central role in Celta Vigo’s season so far. The midfielder’s performances have not gone unnoticed either. According to Foot...

Wonder how the denizens of Redcafe will spin this one in their favor?

Youtube finally perfected Tast-O-Vision & this is the first video you go to? Brother, you need to get your culinary priorities in order.

Caicedo ridiculous again tonight. I wonder if we go back in the summer.

I think he’s bit more suited to Artetaball than the big plumber from Canning town.
