Summer 23 winda

lorddulaarsenal

Nope. He’s better on the left too

lorddulaarsenal

Feels like we definitely need another top quality addition to the attack. It all becomes very laboured and disjointed as soon as guys like Nketiah, Vieira and Smith Rowe are involved.

I can sense quite a few movements out this week.

Hopefully Cedric, Tavares, Lokonga and Pepe find a way out the club. Then I would be open to Holding, Elneny and Jorginho departing. With Timber around we have enough cover for Rice and Partey.

Had completely forgotten about Pepe

Must be the worst signing in the club's history

Kel Varnsen

I think Smith Rowe can become an important player in this team. Not much to go on, but I think there has been some very positive signs this summer. He looks quick and sharp.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

We have 4 options there. One should be leaving. The other three are top class. Get a forward instead

Coombs

That just reads like bait.

lorddulaarsenal

Kel Varnsen yeah he shows hustle, and has end product, but his game isn’t sophisticated enough. He’s also a turnover machine.

He suits Newcastle

lorddulaarsenal

Twitter talk that we’ve opened talks with Ajax for Kudus. Seems a bit Jimmy Hill though

HomeSteak

So we will sign a new left back and keep Tierney? Or is it just talk from Arteta...

Don Pacifico

Nothing in the quotes I've read suggest we will sign a new LB.

HomeSteak

Don Pacifico

on if he is satisfied his defence is strong enough despite Jurrien’s injury:
We didn’t plan for this injury so we have to assess now what the options are and the best way to get the best out of the players. I cannot control anything that is not here. We are always open and we have to always be open to react if something happens, not only with an injury but with the market as well and that's what we are doing.

He said we are open to react if something happens with the market. I mean he can't really say more then that, can't come out and say he want a new lb and who....
I'm pretty sure if we do move Tierney we will get someone else in.

goon

I watched it. He basically just said that the markets still open and we have to be ready to react. Sounds like he wants some reinforcement.

As for Tierney, what else is he going to say? Especially when the chances of getting a good fee from his sale are starting to dwindle.

Don Pacifico

Fair do. I read it as anything is possible but will probably look at internal solutions. But yeah, not necessarily playing it entirely straight with the media.

Qwiss

I'd imagine if Tierney goes they'll get another defender and if he stays they wont. I think Tierney is in a weird inbetween space with Arteta where he'd be happy to upgrade but he's also fairly comfortable with keeping him. Probably mostly up to what the player wants.

Clrnc

There's nothing to read into Arteta press conference. He often lies and says cagey same stuffs.

But he's proven to be a man who will not stop improving the team till he get 2 top quality option in every position.

Clrnc

Oooooh Romano says we are considering Pavard. That will be a super smart move. Our defence options will be unreal

lorddulaarsenal

He’s a bit of a shot merchant but would be good yes.

Also hi from Rhodes everyone!

Clrnc

Just realised we definitely have to recruit as we are losing Partey, Elneny and Tomiyasu in January to their respective nations. Going to be very very short.

Qwiss

Clrnc Well we have Rice and Jorginho so hopefully they can make up for Parteys absence. Tomi is a big loss because we've already lost Timber, he wont be back fit by then.

samthegooner

Would love for us to go back in for Fresneda. Offers versatility in that he can play a straight forward RB role, looks like he could develop into an inverted RB and also has the size to deputize at CB if needed. He is so young and it really feels like this is the last summer that anyone will be able to get him for 20m or less.
