@HandofArsenal 100% agree. Hate how Berta has approached this window as if he just wants to play the market and it doesn’t matter who we get. Figure out our number 1 targets and go get them.
Important to ensure discussions are not labelled as crash outs. I dont have the privilege of recording a video so Im just going to explain my fair and honest thoughts thus far.
Fans are not angry at Monga going to City its more so the laid back approach of trying to outsmart a market where money talks.
Losing out on a talent who badly wanted Arsenal over £3/4 million is not being “disciplined”its just dithering and stubbornness. He would have gone on loan, a club would have covered his wages and you could have flipped for profit but Andrea took too long and City should have never even had a chance. Its just the truth.
Not paying ungodly amounts to Tonali’s agents is fair and the same can be said about his wages and £100m fee. I find it hard to believe fans would have been angry at signing Fernandes for £85m if that who YOU really want. The market has shifted and we need adapt. Lowballing Newcastle for a midfielder who improves us massively is just a piss take. Make a serious offer and get it done if HE is the ONE. That is what fans are saying.
Villa have told us £130m for Morgan. If YOU believe that is way too much, make a FAIR offer and lets see how they react. Barcola is not any cheaper so just make your mind up.
Rice, Saliba, Timber and Saka are struggling and we need to ensure they are taken care of while having adequate cover to begin our title defence.
Mikel always calls for fair critique and as a fan its fair to express concerns. I personally dont need transfer dopamine but im just asking to move correct and that is based on information I have. Im sure the club will make moves, lets get a move on.
We are Premier League Champions, move like it.
@198_ace@Rory_Talks_Ball Then go get him. We are the PL champions. Look at City with Anderson. Rogers and Barcola are completely different profiles and yet we view Barcola as an alternative? Same as last year with Gyok and Sesko.
@EBL2017 I know it’s early, but I hate our approach to the window so far. Feels like we have no genuine priority targets. Understand the need to take advantage of market opportunities but you also need to identify the correct profiles and go get them (eg City/Anderson).
@HarveyDiamonds Are you worried at all we will miss having Odegaard in the build up? Going forward rogers is a clear upgrade because of his direct approach, but a little concerned we will lack control
@nonewthing I think it’s worth holding on to him for one more year. Highly doubt his market value would go down, and his ability to fill in at LB is also valuable. Good rotation option.
Arsenal have real interest in Bradley Barcola.
I will update soon on the situation. There are things to explain about his situation that need clarifying.
