Arteta was so good when the media tried to get him to bite about not signing an attacker.
He looked confident.
We have enough for now.
Players coming back from injury.
I’m sure we’re working on a big attacking signing in January.
@SophieSoccer71@HaroldRamo63814 Exactly, Anderson deal for 116m was being negotiated during the World Cup… how much sooner could we have acted?
We had agreement with Rogers, he was ready to join.
City’s deal for Anderson prompted Villa to ask for more.
@SophieSoccer71@tickets2arsenal Until there’s a trophy for winning the transfer window I’ll take a backseat on the meltdown train.
Big priority was cover for Saliba and Timber ✅
We’ve got serious versatility in midfield by adding Bruno ✅
We got rid of a chunk of wages ✅
We move.
January isn’t far off.
The criticism about our record sale never sat well with me.
If we want to break records in sales we put Saka or Saliba on the market - is that what you want? If that’s the case I can recommend a team in London that plays in blue.
Our left side attack is Eze and Tzolis, if we want speed Madueke switches.
This is great for Eze because he was at risk of serious bench time given Odegaard is back to his best.
However, the recall clause for Nwaneri in Jan is telling.
The powder being kept dry for a big move.
@billycarpy@kimmoFC Agree that it’s weaker, not weak.
It would have been ideal to sign the ‘stardust’ player this window. But if we’re serious about the CL we should still make it happen in January.
Our transfer window is a 7/10.
Tzolis, Bruno G and Konsa are good additions but the left sided attacker upgrade stalled. But as @billycarpy says in his must read blog post ‘ if Álvarez cant happen now, a strong push for Kroupi in January makes a lot of sense.
