Squad Analysis 2020/21

[rednwhitearmy]

He, until Gabriel, was still our best defender. He just didn’t suit our style of play, and didn’t fulfil the Arsenal requirements to play out from the back.

He’d put his head in front of a bullet though.

I still think Turkey is not ambitious enough for him; he’d still be good in a (lower) mid-table-Premier League team.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Wow, no Cedric and Mari ?
Özil registered.

Can be changed till the 20th though

 

[HairSprayGooners]

If Cedric is just going to play cup games it makes no sense to register him in fairness.

Surprised Sokratis was registered ahead of Mari.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

If true, that tells you all you need to know. I don't even need to elaborate. I just thank God we made a decision that means we won't have to do worry about such nonsense anymore.

Not registering mari or Cedric but Sokratis Özil make no sense i think this is still same from season starts teams have until 20 of October to give thier final list

Marí and Soares are good decisions to leave out of the squad.
But it boggles the mind why we bought them in the first place. Keep in mind, they’re both new signings and we left them out of the squad shortly after signing them . What a **** show.

It makes perfect sense. Cedric is useless and not needed when we have Bellerin and AMN. He can play EL, where we play every week anyway. Same with Mari, competes with 7 CB's.

This is the price we're paying for Raul's criminal actions, thankfully he was sacked.

 

[krengon]

If that turns out to be true, let me just say it again: Thank god we got rid of Raul.

 

[berric]

Mari is not expected to feature this year anyway.

Cedric I'm baffled about.

 

[Ozil'sCloakOfInvisibility]

So it's not final yet.

@Rex Banter Remember out debate about Cedric? You won.

 

[gkoat]

We can swap players in/out of this list in a couple months, correct? Or something like that?

 

[gkoat]

PSG?
I doubt that's even a real link. Doubt they need a cb. Hopefully we can move him on to some country which has its window open

I'm confident papa will move out
No idea who else we can move out though.

Pretty sure papas agent was just using PSG to drive up wage expectations for all the teams competing for his signature

I just didn’t see the point tbh. It’s fine now obviously we’ve got cover beyond him for the position.

I’ve gone on about him but Bogle was the smart signing. He went for less than Cedric cost us and he’ll be sitting on Sheffield Utd’s bench most of the year anyway.

We could’ve used him in the cups and in two or three years if he hadn’t developed you’re looking at a 10M profit while with Cedric we all know he’ll be leaving on a free in 2024.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Sokratis to Portugal or Turkey? I guess Turkey would make sense.

The transfer window is shut now. No ins or outs except domestically with EFL teams. Only way Sokratis leaves is if he is willing to step down a league.

Also worth remembering the deadline to register players for UEFA competitions is today.

 

[American_Gooner]

 

[Maybe]

How is that a big decision?

 

[Jason Jace]

H

You probably haven't seen Mari play yet and you want to drop him out the entire squad. Mari is there behind Gabriel as LCB depth.

Has been injured for almost all the time he's been here, what's point of registering a player of you can't count on them to stay fit a d play football
