I think you live in fantasy world. Do you want us to buy Martinez and spend 60-70 million on him and he won’t even be the main goal threat and is gonna play deeper to creat?

Inter play 3-5-2 with 3 central midfielders behind Martinez and lukaku. I assume we will play 4 at the back 2 dm/cm and attacking midfielder, Martinez and saka one side Auba/pepe other side

wouldn’t the attacking midfielder and Martinez be on each other’s toes when you want Martinez to play deeper? Auba out wide is waste. Saka/pepe ain’t mane and Salah so they won’t score much. You managed to make us less dangerous going forward

//////////////Martinez
Saka/Pepe-ESR-Saka/Pepe


Seems a simple formula to me. ESR doesn't just sit in the hole so no AM clash, if he's going to expand his game then it should be by getting beyond the striker and scoring goals. It would just be superior version of the Laca ESR relationship.

We were talking to Inter about him and they seem to be open to sell for below what we thought they would ask for which means we're now interested.

Would be unreal.

just cant see one of the English big boys not being tempted if he is on the market... three need a striker

need to act super quick

I’m not sure he’s at their level yet, and they want the finished article. Martinez for me is no better than Gabriel Jesus for example.

Cool. Though he seems desperate for Spain.

Would be a big signing. Guy is bit of an animal, gives us another dimension.

But do we actually need him?

There are better areas in the squad the money should be spent on. Another CF is the least of our problems.

True but I still think signing a striker is priority for us tbh especially as Auba has been permanently shifted outwide by Arteta.


Some of the chances missed there are unacceptable.

Not even going to entertain this. Our board and negotiation team are not competent enough and Martinez would garner a lot of interest.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

No you say every signing is fantastic and bring
up how they're amazing and gonna win us the league. Or was that your brother?

I mean you can try and find a quote where I say this, because I don't at all. Think you're living in Lala land.

He's an Arteta type of striker imo. Presses from the front and can "unlock" wing forwards as well. More comfortable playing false 9 than Lacazette as well.

Won't get our hopes up. Our squad is too bloated atm.

 

[truth_hurts]

Ah, **** it.

Marinez and Auba up front supported by Saka or Pepe. We're winning the league...

 

[Henry boi]

You can always bet on arsenal having an elite striker no matter how **** the rest of the team is lol

Always laugh when I hear Arteta type of player. Like he is an established manager with clear philosophy. Just the other day we were linked with Tammy. Start of last season he wanted to play nketiah ahead of laca until the former stunk the place.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

You've gotta think this guy would cost £60M, Ramsdale seems to still be a target at like £25M. So that would be £160M spent with no midfielder signed aside from Lokonga

Imagine going into a summer needed midfielders, spending £160M and not signing a midfielder. Still sure we'll get someone like Ødegaard if we do get Lautaro.

What are you on about? We know how Arteta wants to play, there is a clear philosophy. Tammy would do a similar job in the sense that he's pretty good at linking people into the play. But we've seen that we work best when Lacazette is our striker due to him fitting the system perfectly. Surely even you can see this?

Some bad misses but 1:27, that Willian effort

People arguing that Martinez is too good for Arsenal need to have a word to themselves. He has put up average to good numbers for a dominant team in the Italian league. He is definitely gettable if we can pay the fee.

Although he's not the finished article I think he would be a very good Laca replacement. Looks like the all round striker we should be targeting as a different profile to Auba and has a bit of everything to his game. Would be very happy with this, as long as we bring in an AM as well.

I think it's more down to his reputation. He was getting linked to Barca and Madrid over the last year or two. To go from that to Arsenal is a massive step down for him.

The move is definitely dependent on Lacazette and probably Nketiah going as well.
