Incredible
Liverpool have failed to register a shot on target in a Premier League match at Anfield for the first time ever. 🤯⛔️ [@Millar_Colin]
The hate for #Wolverine is incredibly forced, I’m loving it so far! People just nit pick, there’s nothing glaringly bad about this game unless you really really want to find it
Even a Rashford loan would be worth a bit of joy right now cos it does seem we’re banking on 0 injuries across our front line
Fast forward 1 month
Merino Havertz Gyokeres front 3
We have to be getting someone then
🚨 Ethan Nwaneri flying to do medical & join Borussia Dortmund from Arsenal. Straight season-long loan for 19yo #AFC attacker agreed verbally. #BVB moved after Konstantelias injury + deemed right step for regular minutes @TheAthleticFC post @FabrizioRomano nytimes.com/athletic/7554126…
Personally still think we should go for Ndiaye, he definitely provides more of a quality option to support Tzolis as a winger option. Tzolis and potentially Fofana for a season is a bit oo er for me
I’d argue only Trossard out of these had much impact last year so I don’t really agree with this. The other two were bodies, offered very little otherwise
Arsenal’s attacking depth looks thin after so many departures, is a surprise signing now needed? 🚨
#TransferDaily
Think market opportunity is a good way to phrase it. High ceiling but if it fails should still be able to move him on at a profit after a few years of PL and doesn’t block a blockbuster signing in the future. Smart move I think…
🚨 Arsenal weighing up move to sign Malick Fofana from Lyon before transfer window closes. 21yo winger on #AFC list + spoken to Mikel Arteta. Belgium int’l regarded as market opportunity after #OlympiqueLyonnais CL exit. @TheAthleticFC post @FabriceHawkins nytimes.com/athletic/7552809…
I’d imagine we’ll see more of the following names as potential deadline day swoops:
Rashford, Schade, Fofana, Bahoya
None particular excite me but we’re definitely light, I’d probs go Rashford tbh. Hopefully a big push for Kroupi in January then 🤞
I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s Zubimendi who does go, as the big outgoing. I think we’re trying for it to be Martinelli but firstly there’s no market for him and secondly I don’t think he wants to go.
I’d imagine the same applies for Jesus. Would expect Nelson and Vieira to go
I’m ok with us keeping our powder dry and getting Kroupi next summer tbh
🚨 Arsenal didn’t move for Morgan Rogers or - as yet - Bradley Barcola, because they don’t feel they were quite worth the £110m-plus prices quoted. The value is viewed as that crucial difference between a player that will bolster you & one that will really elevate you.
Arsenal’s internal analytics show that Gabriel Martinelli is as effective as many of the targets in the £80m-£100m bracket. Arsenal would probably move for Eli Junior Kroupi had he not been injured, while Barcola could still appeal depending on the price. 🕵️♂️ [@MiguelDelaney]
Rate that, would hate him to go
Exc: Arsenal decide to prioritise loan offers for Ethan Nwaneri ahead of transfer deadline. Acknowledgement teenager can leave to play regular football but club want to avoid losing 19 y/o permanently. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…
I really like Yildiz, but I’d be worried on the similarity to Tzolis. I think ideally you’d want one pacey winger on either side and don’t think either are blessed on that front…
Pretty sure this is Gyokeres over Sesko
Arsenal have sought to improve their squad’s physicality over recent years to the extent that when opting NOT to pursue one prominent target last summer, sources say a senior executive explained the decision internally by claiming that; ‘We would break him’.
Mikel Arteta is one of the most demanding managers in the modern game & durability is high on the list of characteristics Arsenal look for in potential signings these days. The club went on to acquire a different player in that position more in line with this profile. ❌🕵️♂️ [@JamesOlley]
I tell you who I’m not selling Nwaneri to, the people consistently not selling to us and asking for donkey dollars
