@J__Kaz@YankeeGunner 3 managers at Man Utd started Sesko 11 games because he's mentally fragile. Sesko might come good. But if we had Sesko we wouldn't win PL given the level of pressure our players were under.
@StatyBlogger Arteta told Berta he doesn't want Gaby anymore. The reports are it's Berta who's offering him to Turkish clubs without talking to him. That's where it's going wrong as selling a player is normal, no longer using a player also normal.
@scottjwillis bomb squad means you are forced to train with under 21s, kept away from first team players. That's not close to what happened here. With a 8 days to go before the window, we can't afford an injury to a player we want to sell.
@JayAtwood5@Rory_Talks_Ball So, did you forget Man City game? Arsenal fans have seen him throughout preseason. Sure, it's early, but he's standing out among all the attackers at the club.
@JBendon177@AJ__SR7 Haaland is the only wc attacking player in PL. The players you mention are excellent, but not WC. And Arsenal also have similar level of attackers in their team.
@iamsamafc@YankeeGunner Maybe we have already signed that PSG style player, Tzolis. Fans don't count him because he didn't cost 100m. I haven't gone deep into PSG signings. But fans don't see wages, agent fees. So sometimes cheap signings are expensive. Haaland is most expensive player despite 65m fee.
@kvng_baff Fans obsess over transfer fees, but the real expense is the wages. Haaland on paper cost 65m, which even a club like Brighton can pay, but not really. So-called free Kylian only 2 or 3 clubs can afford him.
@YankeeGunner It's not about inflation, something shady going on. And I also think these sus dealings have been happening longer than we thought, and people are only recently caught on to it. Sadly, Arsenal aren't that insider trader club.
@GNTVilla134@timstillman_ No club can allow a 28-year-old defender, who's decent, not world class, to walk out of the club when 50m plus on the table, not even mighty Real or Barca or Bayern.
@876sensation@YankeeGunner Is it a short term problem? We can count 2 out of Saliba, Timber and White to be injured. I didn't mention even big Gaby, at this stage of his career, is starting to pick up injuries.
@AFC_Brown@themagic_tophat Our business is fine. We added 2 starters in our team Tzolis and Bruno. You don't want to change too much more in a winning team. Look at Liverpool bc no guarantee you'll can get better, but you can always get worse. A CB is needed bc of Saliba injury.
@tet_tey@CarlBovis_AFC Gaby has been a mega hit given what we paid for him. The other 2 players you mentioned. Did they have 50 goal contribution seasons like Tzolis. All they had was potential, no actual numbers to back it up.
@chalk9919877@YankeeGunner I remember Elliott freaking out over Zeni's defensive work. He was very big on Tzolis. So, their first impression is often good. On the other hand, Zeni transformed us. Zubi is the big reason why we won PL.
@im_goomba@clivepafc Lokonga was youngster with zero body of work behind him. A punt because Kompny recommended him. Christos numbers were amazing, so no surprises here.
@TimurSurmeli@YankeeGunner@EduardoHagn It doesn't. I watched Liverpool, and VVD played all their games when fit. It is a myth Arsenal's fans have created, no one rotates their defense. No one even rests their best players. Messi and CR7 played all their games for 20 years.
@YankeeGunner 100% With Bruno and Christos, we are adding 2 starting 11 players. Do we really need any more changes? Even last year's signings haven't bedded fully. Vik, Eze, even Zubi have room to integrate more.
@afcadame@YankeeGunner My point we aren't going to do the same things. Our first choice left winger is new. People thought Eze was bought to play on the left. Time to test that as so crowded in the middle. Even buying Bruno changes how we attack and play.
@afcadame@YankeeGunner Not the same thing. If we had Marino or Kai fit for the entire season, that changes our attack. When Marino played we played our best football. Plus, we can try Eze on the left as it's so crowded in the midfield. Plus, Max a year older. Plus, Saka could be fit. Plus, Christo.
