Edu’s Transfer Targets: Summer 2023

[Yousif Arsenal]

And a good CB.

i'm open to put Tomi CB he better there anyway and buy RB. buying CB depend on Holding i hope we finally get rid of him he not suit our system at all.

Definitely would go for him, we need another direct attacker as we only really have Martinelli currently.

The problem we’re going to have though is any right winger that we potentially would want here instantly knows they’re holding the bench for the majority of the season.

Then you buy someone who can play both flanks. Diaby can play left and right. Any right winger we buy needs an additional position.

The other option is buying Kudus, who can play along the front 3 and in midfield.

Maddison would unseat Xhaka in that role very quickly. Imagine adding another 10+ PL goal midfielder to our XI. He’s missed 8 games in two years, I think we’re overdoing the fitness piece.

Xhaka is better going the other way. A team with both Ødegaard, Maddison and two attacking wingers is way too top heavy imo.

I think it allows flexibility for lower block teams as Xhaka lacks the creativity in that role. With Zinchenko inverting and Partey being positionally excellent, I think we would be able to have a more attacking player in that Xhaka role and be covered.

Let's not forget that we had to advance Xhaka to cover up some of his deficiencies going back. I agree though, I wouldn't pair Ødegaard and Maddison away at the Etihad for example.

I think upgrading Xhaka with a more shifty attacking midfielder is a good idea, but you need one with good defensive contribution like Bellingham, Kudus, MacAllister, Le Fée, etc.

 

[dashsnow17]

You want something in between Xhaka and Maddison, one doesn’t have attacking deft and other doesn’t have the physicality. Gundogan can score and assist but also harry opposition players in midfield. You want an all rounder like that. More like MacAllister or Bellingham.

And a good CB.

How many CB’s do you want? We have 5/6 options at CB.

After all these years we're finally going into a transfer window from a position of strength with no glaring holes

No glaring holes? We have no squad compare to the top teams. Once you go past first 13 players the quality drops big time

Uh he is exactly saing that we are in a position that we will strengthen the team to improve on positions and not to fix problems. If we buy a CM, that is because we want to upgrade on Xhaka. If we buy a LB, it is because we want to upgrade on Tierney. A new number 10 is because Vieira/ESR are not up to the task...

The first eleven is strong enough to compete for the title which puts us in a very nice position.

Riou advice for this window...

Buy quality players Arsenal!

Sapient Hawk's prediction : The "Goodbye" thread of @Riou will be outshined by the upcoming one yet to be established by @GDeep™ during the summer.

The whole Lokonga, Tavares and Vieira experiments have failed miserably. Both Mikel and Edu should be blamed.

Sometimes signings just don’t work out. Individually none were very expensive. The best recruitment departments make dud signings. Liverpool spent like 85 million on Keita and Ox.

But collectively, you have a difference maker.

If Kiwior doesn't start ahead of Holding then questions have to be asked there too. Don't give me this left foot, right foot nonsense.

Holding and Elneny should never be anywhere near the squad.

As long as you don't make big losses on selling them they're not really a failure.

I bet when you were writing that you forgot we have Edu negotiating for us.

 

[lomekian]

Didn't want him for Mudryk money, but for that I'd sign up tomorrow
