lorddulaarsenal can't see Arteta wanting someone like Rabiot around.
Winta winda 23/24
Seems to like big physical players at the mo.
I’d rather we move for someone like Barella
Siuuuu!!
Despite the apparent desires of the fanbase, I think it would be nice to acquire our second right winger before we acquire our fifth center forward.
We only have 2 centre forwards.
Jesus, Nketiah, Trossard and Havertz have all played at center forward in the Premier League at a creditable level.

Damn, our squad is massive if every player counts as 1 x number of positions they can play in.
DiabyKungFu don’t you mean 7th right winger as Saka, Nelson, Martinelli, Trossard, Jesus and Vieira can play there
QuincyAbeyie Damn, our squad is massive if every player counts 1 x number pf positions they can play in.
Well, we've suffered a number of key injuries already this season and the baseline expectation from a lot of the fans is that we should still curbstomp every opponent we face. I think that's a good indication of our level of depth. The notable exception is at right wing where if our right winger gets a boo-boo and needs to walk it off for a minute, you have people ready to write the season off. I don't think I'm really saying anything here that people haven't already internalized, consciously or subconsciously.

Nelson, Martinelli and Trossard don't really play there for us. Don't see why they would count at all. Vieira has played there but is a bad stylistic fit. I wouldn't really count him as a legit option. Jesus is probably our best bet but he's also our best center forward so it's not the best second option. Basically, if any one of Jesus, Nketiah, Trossard or Havertz played at center forward against City, I wouldn't really think anything of it. If anyone of the people you named outside of Saka or Jesus played at right wing against City, I'd think "Oh fuck".
That’s why we need that 7th right winger bra

It's confusing that you make it sound like you don't agree with those fans, but at the same time still think it's indicative of our depth..?
Linked with Quentin Timber - would be a good signing. Versatile, excellent technique.

I think we're really, really good. I think the folks who seem to want us to put up 3 xG every game are being a bit silly.
lorddulaarsenal there's another Timber??
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert it's his twin brother.
QuincyAbeyie nice. Need to check him out.
Neto and Toney will be excellent, but we need to ship people out
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert yep add to basket
lorddulaarsenal if only Black Friday was in Jan.
Neto is a must this January
Toney maybe less so if Havertz can give us that different option up top.
