Anyways linked with Porto winger Pepe - looks a better bet than Yeremy Pina

Is it the 25 year old winger who hasn't gotten a cap for Brazil yet and scores less than Martinelli in a way worse league? Or have I got the wrong one, I just tried to look for him on Wiki.

It’s the one that looks a better bet than Yeremy Pina mate.

QuincyAbeyie

I'll take that as a yes. No thanks to the lesser Pepe.

he looks electric, mane vibes there

Electric is a good word to describe him, but Mané was a stone cold killer in front of goal, and also had movement in the box like an elite striker. I don't see that in this guy's game.

young mane, I should say. before the klopp stimulus packge

Tielemans would probably be taking Ode’s spot at right central midfield.

TambourineMan

That's where he tends to operate for Leicester. Actually, watching them play I've always been more drawn to Deswsbury-Hall than Tielemans in that midfield. He's gone a little under the radar since he broke through but I have a feeling this will be his break-out season and by the end of it he'll be a £50m+ asset for Leicester.

Diaby is who we need. That said someone with Pepe’s characteristics is what we need to compliment the squad.

You do know we need more than one player who can operate out on the left effectively right?

lorddulaarsenal

Anyways not convinced by Martinelli.

Pepe is extremely ineffective frustrating and 25 already. Would be among the worst crimes against futbol yet by Arteta to replace Nico with this guy

Would much rather get a RB and CM than winger, anyone coming in would take playing time away from the kids and I thought that was the whole point of the project.

But if we're ditching that idea again Diaby is great, would be one of the best wingers in the league immediately.

Ray

Links to Tonali.

banduan

No way is Tonali happening.

Lamptey would be a shrewd move - an alternative to Tomiyasu and would provide cover for the wings

martinelli has growing to do, and esr is crock adjacent. a crack winger wouldn't go amiss, but only if they're elite or close to it. sick of the scum dining out on their front 3 and everyone lauding them while we still have chode energy up front

He's looked very ordinary recently dules , don't think he will be a good option now

Hand hovers over zipper

Bosscielny

Definitely a winger short at the moment. Saka, Smith Rowe and Martinelli to cover three positions is a bit light, especially considering the injury issues two of the three have had since they broke through. Would hope that it is someone who can contribute straight away.

If they do bring someone in there’s no reason not to be confident that they’ll make the right decision, considering their record so far. Assuming it’s not a free transfer.

Bosscielny

Don’t want another Pepe. Heard good things about Pino, don’t particularly want another 19 year old for out there, though. We’re still gambling on Martinelli and ESR taking another step.

lorddulaarsenal

Would you guys take Caicedo and Gakpo to close the window?

Think I would

Doc

Probably time to just sit back and wait till the end of the window. Feels like this one is going to be massive and I'm sure there are going to be a lot of opportunities that pop up. I trust Arteta and Edu to get the right men in although have a feeling it's going to be one signing

lorddulaarsenal

Yep I think they know we need a bit more depth and perhaps more telling class to help us move up a level
