Winta winda 23/24

QuincyAbeyie okay. So yes. Spurs did recoup the Kane money. But even they as a modest club still spent £160m the year before on Richarlison, Romero, Bissouma, Udogie, Spence etc. The point is all these clubs are spending tons of cash. It’s table stakes.

lorddulaarsenal

Spurs are spending lorry loads despite having recently built a new stadium and emerging from a pandemic

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal yes. Under these circumstances, you need to spend the money to belong at high table. You just need to spend money. Have a clear plan, buy the best possible players. Coach them well and have some injury luck.

Burnwinter Second best by squad valuation which is what I was talking about. Think it is important to grasp that although players such as Allison, Van Dijk, Salah etc are highly revered and of course brilliant in their roles, that's also because these are players that have won something.

TBF age plays a huge role in that squad valuation. For instance Salah is valued at a lower price than Martinelli but we don't think Marti is better than Salah.

QuincyAbeyie

Qwiss Yup. Same with Raya who's valued at more than Alisson and Vicario.

Claudius

Qwiss exactly. Our squad is well constituted in that it has a lot of really good players who are just before their prime.

But I would happily trade away anyone not named Saliba or Saka so that I could have a player of the Salah or KDB level right now. And both Pool and t have s couple of these guys right now.

Loving the links to Ait-Nouri

Asterix

Links to Xavi Simons from PSG, and also suggestions we want Bruno G from Newcastle. But not this window.

We recalled him so he can go and play at higher lvl. Don't know if the Austrian league is better then the Scottish league.
The boy has been scoring, in 14 games(11 as a starter) he has 6 goals and 5 assists. He is injury prone, so I assume the plan is too loan him again, get him scoring and sell in the summer

Marseille thinks of a return of Nuno Tavares - lequipe

After the departure of Renan Lodi and the arrival of Ulisses Garcia, the Marseille leaders are looking for a second left-back and are thinking about a return of Nuno Tavares, currently loaned to Nottingham Forest by Arsenal, after spending last season at OM.

He was good on all the Rice news last summer and a bunch of other West Ham related news.
A loan is the only way he will get more then 5 minutes per game. Loan, raise his value and sell in the summer, no point in keeping him, Arteta will never ever play him.

Don Pacifico

The Biereth situation is a bit odd. Feels a sideways move, which given things are going Mother-well north of the border seems a weird decision. I think he has good potential, not sure if it's Arsenal-level potential but could see him potentially taking Nketiah's spot once Eddie gets demoted to 3rd choice in the summer (assuming a starting striker is bought.

Clrnc

West Ham made it difficult for us, we need to make it difficult for them.

Exchange for Paqueta

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Clrnc I hate them as much as I hate our usual rivals right now. Fuck them royally and don't give them anything.

Burnwinter

Offer them Vieira, eh. Apparently we refused to loan them Nelson. In any case, a half season with Moyes wouldn't do any of that trio any harm.

Qwiss

Already knocked back. Get fucked West Ham. Boys about to go mental.

goon

Big change in tone from Arteta too. From putting the onus on ESR to prove he deserves mins, to putting the onus on himself to give him the mins:

On if Smith Rowe looks ready to make a big impact now

“No change. Emile is Emile. He’s got incredible qualities and we really happy to have him. What he needs now is chances to put all the qualities that he has on the pitch. In order to do that we have to give him minutes.”

lorddulaarsenal

Not the time to get rid. Tis his moment. Need to see those half turns, direct runs, give and goes, and daisy cutter shots. The team structure has evolved again to an extent which suits his play again.

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal big fan of this guy’s. Hope we can get him in and liven up the left side of attack a bit. We have always been a right-biased team in the age of Saka, but this season has become too lopsided. He is the kind of player who flow between left 8 and left wing with ease, allowing Martinelli better inside positions. All of Martinelli, Jesus and Odegaard need to get their shots and accuracy up this second half of the season.

Claudius

We are said to be close to Hato. Another big Dutch defensive talent. Thanks to Brexit though, would only be able to register April. Fingers crossed. If 4 or 5 years hopefully he is forming into a top centre back.

lorddulaarsenal

Not so sure on that - he’s rumoured to be close to signing a deal with Ajax
