Not convinced Norgaard and Zubimendi for Jorginho and Partey makes us much better, pretty much a push for me.Quote:

So maybe the improvement we need must come from Arteta?
MA loves Martinelli (as do I) because he works his arse off tracking back as well as going forward. I fully expect both him and Odegaard to be back to their season before levels.Quote:

Sesko or Gyokeres....both?
Kepa, top draw reserve keeper for ?5m, bargain.
Eze or Rodrygo, don't mind either but would be the end of Trossard.
Pretty much agree with all of that. But I like Leo. He scored 17 in a season mostly from LW - like Anders in '91 and Overmas in '98. Don't think Bobby P ever broke 15 [though shedloads of assists as well.}Quote:

The issue with the midfield s going to be the gap between the first choice (Zubimendi and Rice) and the replaceents (Norgaard and Merino). That is quite a gap.....Quote:

Was thinking the other day, he hasn't actually signed a forward (let alone a striker) since Trossard. I know Havertz and Merino have both played up front but they were not signed to play there.
We will sign a striker. But I wouldn't be surprised if it is someone who hasn't been mentioned yet.....
The improvement needs to come from those players who underperformed last year, and from Arteta. We have to go back to looking to dominate games rather than destroy them.Quote:
