Summer Transfer Window 22/23

Arteta perhaps falling into Wenger's trap of collecting too many attacking midfielders/wide forwards:

Saka
Pepe
Vieira
Odegaard
ESR
Martinelli
Marquinhos
Bid for Raphinha (if true)

Not sure how you fit all these boys in the side, I would have thought a Patrick Vieira replacement or striker should still be the priority.

They’ll be looking to get shot of Pepe
 
I really don’t want us spending £55m on Raphinha. It’s just not a priority position for us atm and that money could be far better used elsewhere.

Plus, I don’t like being second choice. If he really wants to go to Barca or play in the CL, he’ll be coming under duress and I’ll question whether or not his hearts really in it.

Which again will almost certainly not be paid in one go. As of their last set of accounts, Arsenal owe over £130m in installments to other clubs for old transfers.

It's incredibly rare for clubs to pay 100% of a transfer fee in one go. As of the time of Arsenal's accounts being published, 14 of the 20 PL clubs owed other clubs over £50m with 6 clubs owing over £100m.

Out of all the clubs willing to pay upfront though, wouldn’t City be top of the list?

And?? 8 of them were as a sub and 2 he was playing wide right not in the centre.

His stats show when he starts his goal return is pretty good

Half of the hate is because its arsenal buying him lets be real. At end of the day hes scored goals in the prem and has a good record in europe

At least its not a gamble unlike liverpool spending big on an unproven talent in the prem

Anyone who signs for us is instantly dismissed as rubbish, it’s standard.

To be fair, theres a reason for that :p

Just kidding but in all honesty when was the last time Arsenal signed a top quality player that was in high demand. They keep buying decent players for decent money to go with your alright manager. Its not a recipe for excitement or a return to the top for Arsenal.

So how many of these are rubbish?

Partey
Martinelli
Gabriel
Ramsdale
Tomiyasu
Tierney
White (overpriced I know, but Utd fans can’t say **** about overpriced defenders)

He didn’t say they sign rubbish, just that they’re decent and nothing to really write home about.
Martinelli is the only one there that I’d say has the potential to be top drawer.

Yeah but Utd fans say it like they sign world beaters. Ronaldo came back for the money and nostalgia but it looks like he’s already had enough.

City and Liverpool, and maybe Chelsea, are the only sides who sign the worlds best these days. The rest of us have to do whatever we can.

If jesus wants to play out wide then id be happy to have martinelli in the middle as i wanted arteta to try him through the middle last season

Martinelli/saka/jesus/nketiah/raphinha theres stacks of options to mix and match any of those 3 from game to game

You forgot ESR.

Anyway, bit surprised at the news that Ziyech is likely to leave Chelsea, probably for AC Milan. Thought he was easily one of Chelsea’s better performers last season.

Oh, and Bale to Los Angeles FC is pretty much done.
