Yes please to Lee Kang-In and Nico Williams.

Bring them both in and ease the pressure on the summer.

samthegooner

Panda We need more ruthless ball strikers across the team and Lee Kang-In really showed me something in our game against them. I haven't watched enough of him to know his total game but he can definitely put his foot through the ball.

lorddulaarsenal

samthegooner talking of ball strikers, do you recon Arteta would love a prime Podolski in our team?

lorddulaarsenal

Also being linked to Damsgaard

Appalling hair but decent playmaker - could play a Rosicky or Benayoun type role for us

samthegooner

lorddulaarsenal I don't know if Arteta would but I sure would! To me, our lack of great ball striking across the squad is the biggest difference between us and teams like City in past years (Rodri, KDB, Mahrez, Gundogan) and current Liverpool (Salah, Gakpo, Mac Allister, TAA, Szoboszlai). That ability allows them to pull something out of nothing time and time again and I'd love to have a few players outside of Saka who are willing and able to take a crack at net from distance or odd angles.

Qwiss

HomeSteak Mainoo would be stupid to move to Chelsea now. Should stay at United for now.

MistaT

Qwiss -- I think he'd be decent for us at left 8

naz

Is Williams going to fix our scoring situation. I'm not convinced

lorddulaarsenal

He’ll score enough here but he’ll make us a threat on both sides of the attack.

HomeSteak

Good thing Mudryk got suspended or you just know we would have been all over that.

They need that 100% profit

How is Leao?

Claudius

United’s situation is what you get when you spend like a drunk sailor even when you’re the richest. It’s such a farce. We should take Mainoo off them.

Qwiss

Claudius why would we want Mainoo? What can he offer us right now that we don't have? He's a promising player but far from what we need.

Claudius

Qwiss he wouldn’t be my priority in January but if he is still around in the summer and we need to replace to CMs, yeah.
For now, you know my main priority

Qwiss

Claudius he's looking for 200k from United. He'd be a back up here, can't be doing deals like that.

HomeSteak

It always works like this, after we lose a few games, or fail in our target of winning, the league, top 4 etc what ever it is. On point, the articles about us going huge in the summer come out lol. Then comes the summer, we fail to get in our main targets and life goes on.

Claudius

Qwiss he’s asking £200k from United because he knows they’re beyond daft. Nobody else pays near that

samthegooner

Personally I think we need to be moving Odegaard deeper to dictate buildup and bring in a more output oriented CM that will score goals. I don't think Odegaard is the next KDB but rather the next Bernardo Silva and we need someone like Wirtz to come in and complete the midfield. Wirtz or Musiala would be the dream of course but even someone like Eze or Gibbs-White would be a good fit for me. I just don't think Odegaard scores enough and is enough of a threat in and around the box and adding a more output focused and athletic midfielder would really help us in settled game states and in transition.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Question, if we don’t sign anyone this Jan have we effectively sacrificed our season?

lorddulaarsenal

Would love Araujo - class player

samthegooner

lorddulaarsenal If we sign another defender before addressing the attack at all, this fanbase will collectively lose it. Araujo is class for sure but we have much larger needs.

Qwiss

lorddulaarsenal would be a completely stupid signing at this point in time. Wouldn't even start for us anyway.

JazzG

Sicario2 - Tier 1 3 years ago he turned us down, we tried hard but he wasn't interested. Since then he's had a serious injury and since joining Juve his highest goal tally is 16 in the league, I'm not convinced this guy is going to elevate us. What we really need is a wide player this window and then go all out in the summer for a CF if needed.

lorddulaarsenal The Arsenal fanbase would go nuclear if we signed a defensive player this window over an attacker 😆

MistaT

In hindsight missing out on Vlahavoic seems like a big mistake. There's enough smoke about him moving (now or in the summer) that we should be all over that.

Honestly, I'm as concerned about Top 4 as I am about winning the league, and FA/CL would be the cherry on top.

Trossard -- Vlahovic (Havertz) -- Martinelli (Nwaneri)

I also think we really need to spring Odegaard back into life. I'm left wondering if Partey and Rice, or Partey and Jorginho could play as a flat two, and let Odegaard play as a "true" 10. He's stalled out in his right 8 role, and I think he'd actually enjoy the central space more with Vlahovic and Martinelli nearby.

Qwiss

MistaT In hindsight missing out on Vlahavoic seems like a big mistake.

Hardly a mistake. They tried to get him and he only wanted Juve, not much we could do about it. Especially at the time without CL football, etc The real mistake was signing Jesus instead of Isak who was actually attainable.

If we can get Vlahovic now I'd take him though.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Vlahovic I would still take with open arms. We should have got him 3 January’s ago.
