Little better but not quite there - 2020 Summer Transfer Thread

Bit of a pipe dream that many players

Fraser could be a good squad player wide left, maybe martinelli gets more game time as a st if auba leaves? I think we may see more swap deals for players as money is tight

I think Mari can be excellent. Per did not need pace and was effective, he just has to read the game right

 

Transfermarkt slashed the value of every player born before 1998 by 20% and every player born after by 10%. They aren't gospel, but when Arsenal are trying to cut payroll by 12.5%, they probably aren't too far off. There will be a lot of clubs desperate for cash and looking to cut payroll. There could be bargains available to any club that is willing to spend.

Of course, the easiest way for Arsenal to cut payroll would be to unload high earners like Aubameyang, Ozil or Mkhitaryan.

Selling Aubameyang probably won't bring in the same cash that we thought he would a few weeks ago, but whatever he does generate may be stretched further.

 

Its crazy that I still forgot El Neny and Mikhi were just loans and not fully gone smh..

I think the biggest needs are CB,CM and LW with ST being a swap deal or move Martinelli or Eddie to ST.

CB: Luiz, Sokartis must be gone. I believe will most likely keep Mustafi he did find good form aka Mustafi 2.0 under the boss. Mavropanos is still young and did well in Nuremberg. Holding is constantly injured but having Saliba and hopefully Disasi is a good pairing. Mustafi and Holding as backup??

CM- huge need our MF at times was like Swiss cheese no cover for the defense it was very sad to see. Xhaka or LT one of them is gone imo.. Dani might be gone so who do we have Guzzy? Other than Partey at DM any other prospects out there at CM for us? Shouldve kept Iowbi lol

LW: not worried too much in this department we can have Saka hold this down or Martinelli.

 

Weaknesses "none" lol

Nice video somebody was quick in putting highlights up because I checked yesterday and found none. This video kinda confirms what the scouting report i posted yesterday said. Big strong, good tackler, good concentration. Seems like a sweeper CB. Not a ball playing CB or the best with the ball in his feet but that can improve..

Are we out of the running or not looking at Mykola Matviyenko?

 

Re Kurzawa: from the Express. Like all rumors this may or may not be true, but the same can be said for the reported offer of a five year contract.

His passing range appears to be pretty good. Per whoscored.com he completed 50% of his long passes this season. A number that was only topped by Mustafi among Arsenal’s center backs.

 

You forgot to add a loaf of bread, butter, and 100 rolls of toilet paper.

Then it will happen.

 

I think it has something to do with Arsenal Texan 3's return..

 

Reading about Kurzawa and seeing him play a little he seems like not a good fit. He is injury prone, is a poor defender, prone to errors and doesn't track back much. He is a good attacker but as a fullback is quite weak. PSG I'm under the impression would love to offload him hence the free transfer.

 

I like Gueya very impressive DM, and Partey of course. I don't see Tolisso really being available to us and I'll pass on any Longstaff lol

 

Well better than we have currently so I wouldn't be against it , depending on the price and who we could offload and generate transfer funds from. He seems to have recovered well from his injury so it would be a great addition in CM. He would be a starter no doubt. Fingers crossed.

 

Yup I heard that. I assume attack means AM/10 most likely Ozil is on the way out or will be gone after next year to the MLS or Turkey so we need to fill that. Willock won't cut it and nobody else really fits that definition right now on this team. I think W especially LW is a need and ST we should get definently with an Auba deal. I heard the PL wants to start in May and wrap up by June 30th hopefully that is true.

 

He is a superb talent..a true pure CM with very good attacking skills and can defend and be an excellent DM when played there. A very good Dribbler in tight spaces, composed passer, has intelligent movement His talent has never been questioned its his attitude, behavior and his temper. He has been described as a petulant child and there is a reason he left PSG for free and will leave Juve for free. His agent aka as his mother is notoriously tough and hard headed to deal with. Doesn't help that teammates haven't liked him and he is very immature. If Arteta can get him to grow the hell up I'm all for it.
