He was 45M because he had 1 year left. He is easily an £80M player. Especially in this market.

He got a goal every 187 minutes in the league last year btw. Pretty good. More so when you add his assists. Something like 18G + 10A if he was healthy all season.

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.

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.

We aren’t gonna sell Partey. He’ll come in with no minutes in his legs for the UCL knockout stages and the league run-in.

Emile has been available for every game but the last 2, no? And he should be back soon.

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.

I mostly agree with the article:

The issue for me is that Arsenal are a trusted forward short.

There are have 4 and there needs to be 5. Arteta’s hoping Eddie, Reiss or both can be that, but Eddie isn’t hitting the levels and Reiss is barely playing.

A big man seems most logical, but I don’t think we need one. We probably would’ve won the league with Martinelli, Jesus, Saka if we had better depth last year and we’ve seen City and Liverpool perform at record breaking levels without a classic, target man striker

We should get a monster dribbler who can get to the byline and play on the right and left a la Douglas Costa or Ousmane Dembele. This will allow us to play Trossard through the middle more.
