Wilfried Zaha

Having said the above it would be ridiculously fun to have a front line of Zaha-Auba-Pepe.

We’d either lose the ball immediately or score.

I’d play Saka in Pepe’s place though. Right now I’m really not a big fan of Pepe.

 

[Burt Gold]

I mean I like Zaha as a player but is he really worth the money? His production just doesn't reflect a 50m+ player. He is fun to watch don't get me wrong but just not sure he is what Arsenal need.

He doesn't seem like a talisman on a big club. For 25m Id prob do it though.

Daily star ffs.

Zaha signing just doesn’t make sense for so many reasons.

 

[Penn_]

The only way we’d sign him is if they went for a player plus cash exchange we tried to tempt them with last year.

Only the price tag is the legitimate reason not to. I can think of too many reasons to sign him.

One immediately comes to mind, having him in our side ultimately boosts penalty decisions going our way for once

Selling laca would make sense buying Zaha but without selling laca we can't spend 40m on Zaha

Uhm, yes, we can. Guen, Torreira, Micki and Holding will get us around 60 mil or so.

Auba is a left winger in Arteta’s system. He’s played there even when Laca has been out, Nketiah plays CF ahead of Auba.

We’re not going to enter the market for a left winger unless the signing is opportunistic. Even if the signing was available, I feel like Arteta has bigger fish to fry.

 

[GDeep™]

Teams will be taken to the cleaners with Zaha, Auba, Pepe etc

Utd are crap, rubbish manager too, but Rashford, Greenwood, Martial with Bruno went on a run smashing mid table teams. Got them CL.

Not about price but about making space for him upfront

That's the least of the problems. He can rotate with Pepe, since he's mainly a RW, but since he's more or less comfortable all across the front 3, they can interchange between one another.

What about Arteta’s comments about wanting to build the side around Auba? Wouldn’t that suggest he wants him to be the focal point which would be a bit weird if continues to be out on the left?

Not sure the current system we're playing is what Arteta wants to keep with in the long term. That we will see as time goes on. But either way, we need another winger who creates. Besides something ridiculous like Dembele, I see Zaha as making too much sense.

At the end of the day, though, whoever Arteta green lights to get, then I support that - whether it's Zaha or not.

You can be the focal point on the left. Some would say it’s actually easier that way.

CR7 being the most obvious example.

 

[Hunta]

What does Arteta want though?

If we sell Lacazette is he planning on moving Aubameyang to ST and buying a LW or keeping Aubameyang at LW and buying a ST?

Need answers, preferably by 10pm tonight tbh.

 

[Trilly]

Has Arteta ever played Auba upfront? Even once?
