    Fully agree with everything in the article. We have a new 6 in Rice, so probably we should go for a good left 8 now and some cover at 6/8

      I doubt another 8 will come in with MØ, Vieira, Havertz, ESR already here. Plus Rice. And Zinchenko in an emergency.

      Only signing we can probably justify is a 6 that can play with Rice and instead of Rice. Maybe Locatelli or someone similar.

        Unfortunately Viera and Havertz are flops and are not good enough at left 8 and Smith-Rowe is always injured. That’s why we had to move Rice there even though it’s not his preferred position.

        Havertz at right 8 looked a little bit better, maybe if he improved there and Odegaard would be fine with moving to left 8? If not then we’re left with a big hole in left 8 and Arteta needs to swallow his pride, admit that Havertz and Viera are flops and bring in someone who can actually do the job

          He’s not even had half a season yet you’re ludicrous thinking that makes him a flop

          Lmfao. Havertz a flop after 17 games. You’re out of touch.

          I get where you’re coming from though. We definitely need more from the left 8 position. It’ll have to be an internal solution though. We’ve invested in Havertz, ESR and Vieira. You should support them…since they play for us.

            When Odegaard comes back Havertz goes back on the bench, because Arteta has enough of his bullshit. You spent £65m on a bench player, and you don’t think this transfer is a flop?

              If he played at this level for 100 games he would definitely be a flop, but not after 20 games.

              Hopefully he finds his confidence and can contribute more on offense. We will have a monster player in this case.

                Just to let you know, he has played at this shit level for around 150 games since leaving Leverkusen. This is no longer a confidence issue, he’s just bad.

            He said it himself in an interview he prefers to play at 6 and you can see in his game he’s a natural destroyer and his attacking side is not as strong
