Would you guys take this for summer activity
Sign Gyokeres, Zubimendi, Mbeumo, Garcia, and a wildcard youngster
lorddulaarsenal that would be an insane summer
lorddulaarsenal add a solid (not injury prone) defender and that would be a very good window
lorddulaarsenal No to Gyokeres but 100% yes to the others. Like Sicario says we probably need a defender as well
lorddulaarsenal I'd take it but I think Mbuemo would be a square peg because he's best on the right. For the same money I think you can get someone who's a better fit.
Think Garcia is a waste of money too if he's €30m or more.
I don't think we'll get Garcia anyway. He looks like a generational keeper and every club wants him now. Last summer was the time to get him.
Pepe LeFrits we were ahead of the pack on Garcia and couldn’t execute. Now 4 or 5 big teams want him. I’m sure Arteta is annoyed
Claudius we were ahead of the pack on Garcia and couldn’t execute. Now 4 or 5 big teams want him. I’m sure Inaki is annoyed
Fixed that for ya.
Striker market is so depressing, hoping Havertz can take another step next season...
HomeSteak don't know why people still talk to Ornstein he blatantly has no fucking clue about anything. Everything he says these days is basically repeating what's in the news lol
jones he's always been like that though. He is good after the summer to find out a bit of detail on what did and didn't happen but he never has a clue in advance of things.
Qwiss which is normal. Wirtz got mad with Bayern because he and his family felt that too much info was getting into the press - especially threats of letting him run down his contract if the £120m fee wasn’t reduced
Qwiss he used to be fed stuff from Gazidis back in the day, usually pretty late so it was final confirmation mostly but there was some inside track at least. These days he reads the Beeb like everyone else and people still treat him like he's in the know
Bummer.. Xavi Simons would be next in line for me, negotiate a double deal with him and Sesko.
Not that bothered tbh, there are many options for that position. I think someone like Nico Williams and Gittens could play there for nearly half the money and have a massive impact for us.
The CF position is far more complicated in my mind.
JazzG Was such a bizarre saga, as if we expected them to change their mind about a bid they'd already said no to and then were surprised when they didn't and had to go for Neto after he was already cup-tied.
jones no one at the Athletic knows anything about Arsenal. James is just a blogger, about as ITK are most of us and half as interesting and knowledgable. Amy Lawrence is good but she doesn't dirty herself with transfer rumours. I like Adrian Clarke a lot but again he doesn't do transfer bullshit.
Qwiss I don’t know if this industry is so much about sharing truth as it is about driving engagement. That’s what these guys are solving for. Anything shared is better than nothing because it gets us excited or angry. Nobody ever goes back and shows a scoreboard of ITKs when the summer ends. So there is zero incentive to be conservative and report only the verified facts.
Qwiss James a massive bellend, no idea how anyone can listen to him.
Claudius yeah and its why Ornstein is shite since he's gone to the Athletic. At the BBC he'd give you hard facts, they might be late but they were true. Now he's wafting along like everyone else with the "Arsenal like insert any good player you can think of" "Arsenal after a striker, here's a list they may like" or just rewording stuff Mobkels already said. Its clearly an instruction by the Athletic to drive traffic and the idiots still go with "the ornacle has spoken", "he's dropped and Ornbomb", etc
