Edu's Transfer Targets: Summer Holidays 2021

[Ash10]

Hearing rumours that our replacement for Xhaka is 6'1" 98-cap international captain at a peak age who was man of the match against France at the Euros? Anyone have any other details?

Is he also the one who has cost his team the most amount of points in his five years in the PL? & also is he also the one only Hertha ever wanted & now Roma are refusing to pay anything near 20m for?

 

[El Duderino]

True that, he's on the Raspberry Mojito's - we've all been there. You can't even taste the rum after the third one...

By the 5th one I reckon you get some snake bites going to line the stomach properly...

 

[TornadoTed]

Well they could've NOT signed Willian in the first place. Also, Xhaka could've left to Hertha last year for 25 million pounds and now Roma's offering us a plate of quattro stagioni for the guy.

Willian was a big mistake. I'm not convinced that Hertha bid was real, think it was just paper talk.

 

[TornadoTed]

It's a shame then we're keeping a manager who can't deliver unless he has the players that fit his so called "style of play" rather than fit the Style of play to the players he has, aye!

Absolutely, if he was a half decent coach he would get the best out of the squad he has and quit whining all the time.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Our strikers score on par with the chances we create. Our issue is chance creation. End of.

That's why Laca, Auba and even Saka missed golden chances last season. We need more.

Could definitely imagine Parlour chugging through pints of Snakey B ("aka Diesel") with Merse back in the day

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Are we gonna get some actual quality in our team or are we just gonna keep buying back up?

How the summers likely to finish based on todays news -

Leno, Ramsdale
Chambers, Bellerin, Cedric
White, Holding
Gabriel, Mari
Tierney, Tavares
Partey, Lokonga, Azeez
Xhaka, Elneny, Torreira
Pepe, Willian
New AM, ESR
Saka, Martinelli
Auba, Laca, Balogun

5 new signings. Only two first team signings, might not be a bad thing to unsettle things so much. Probably spending £160M if its Maddison who's the AM. £160M spent and two improvements to the starting 11 isn't amazing.

Hoping we do the striker as well.

Im not usually as positive as you but I'm not far off it, but would be disappointed if that's the summer business.

7/8 positions in one summer was always gonna be very tough.

Hold up, we're keeping that midget Torreira?

 

[El Duderino]

Hold up, we're keeping that midget Torreira?

Not a single club after him, Arteta was bigging him up a couple days ago...

Not unsettling will lead us to 8th. That is basically exactly the same first 11 that got us an 8th place finish.

 

[krengon]

This window is going worse than even I expected. How does Arsenal keep outdoing themselves.

Same manager as well

Elneny 2025 next, blimey!

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Don't think he'll be easy to ship out.

 

[El Duderino]

Another one getting renewed, you reckon?

 

[IstraBalagina]

We'll need a versatile AM who can play on the wings

 

[The_Playmaker]

Same manager as well

Watching pre season, it's the same style of football. 2 3 5 in possession. 442 mid to deep block. Press in a 3 4 1 2 which will leave us massively exposed if its Xhaka. So we probably wont press even though we have one game a week. It's all we should be doing.

I can see us loaning Ødegaard out of desperation which will force ESR to the wing.
Auba willcbe unhappy. Laca willcstill be here, with no game time for Balogun. Xhaka will keep Lokonga out till African cup of nations.

We will probably concede so many set pieces. I have no confidence.

Lautauro Martinez, Bruno G, a RB are the only things that would make me positive.

Arteta thinks very highly of himself if he thinks he can squeeze more out of this squad. Especially after losing Luiz, his primary leader.
