Arteta - one more year and that’s it

Don Pacifico

RocktheCasbah watched that over the weekend. Was interesting, particularly the suggestion that it opens up more ways of playing (potentially shifting the balance of our midfield to something a bit more offensive etc.).

Sicario2

Come on Mikel!

Don Pacifico

Sicario2 Twitter summary is not an accurate reflection of what he actually says (specifically the bit about Rodrygo) but it's all spot on (and in line with what Arteta has been expressing for a while).

"We have to add goals, we have to add numbers and we have to add creativity and that will be in a number of positions" sounds very positive. At least 2 attackers then.

Qwiss "We have to add goals, we have to add numbers and we have to add creativity and that will be in a number of positions"

May even mean a keeper who is even better on the ball than Raya. Or another ballplaying defender because like @Claudius used to say, our playmaking is hugely dependent on our backline.

This post was made with my tongue firmly in cheek. However with Tet, you can never assume.

Qwiss

Big Willie I was thinking when he says more creativity he might mean Zubi

Claudius

Big Willie whole team contributes to creativity, including the GK and CBs. Calafiori last weekend was an extreme example, appearing at left wing and right 8 at various points.
flobaba, if we’ve learned anything this season, it’s that we need more depth. Not less. Martinelli plus Rodrygo sounds better than one or the other

This is exactly what I (somewhat jokingly) meant when I said you can not be certain what Arteta will do to sign multiple players to solve our creativity issue.

Claudius Martinelli plus Rodrygo sounds better than one or the other

Agreed, that's my preference as well.

Claudius

Big Willie btw. Calafiori will be like Weenger’s proverbial new signing if he’s fit next year. The guy is cavalier talent and swagger

USArsenal

Would we prefer Rodrygo + Martinelli..... or Williams + Martinelli?

Qwiss

USArsenal Martinelli + Williams for me. Think Williams has the higher ceiling.

Coombs

I'm leaning Rodrygo

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Rodrygo if we keep Martinelli, Williams if we sell him.

Rodrygo and Trossard would make me a bit anxious.

JazzG

Williams probably more what we need, if not him I really like Gittens. Been watching a bit of him and he really looks like someone who will really explode soon. Less developed but think he has a really high ceiling, we need an aggressive LW player who is gonna to after the full back and has pace.

Claudius

want to take time to do some comparisons on Williams, Gittens, Rodrygo and Martinelli. See what each of them give versus the others.

Gazza M

Claudius add leao to your scouting data as well pls. 😆

HomeSteak

Claudius it will say, Rodrygo is a baller and we need to get him, even if it means we still deal with Havertz as a striker. He is that good

Coombs

Watching the goals Rodrygo has scored has really turned me on.

JazzG

Coombs I don't even want to know what compilation you've been watching!

flobaba

He's on point technically. That right foot curler is sweet.

Just feels like he's going to be a tad soft for the premier league. One v one, full backs at the top level are beasts. Think Timber, Hakimi. How does Rodrygo help us against a player like this?

Coombs

flobaba by drifting inside and playing in Yoki.
