The only side for me that has a perfectly balanced squad is City.

As I say if there were these one or two players out there that I’d say would unquestionably improve what we’ve already got I might agree but I don’t think there necessarily is.

Well ok but that suggests that there are no players better than Martinelli & Trossard on the LW - and the general concensus is that they are both not good enough :shrug:

����Following the injury of Kai, The Gunners are reportedly going back to the market to scout for another attacking option��️!

Nicolas Jackson is among the targets , understand Arsenal have excellent relationship with Chelsea as far transfer is concerned

Arsenal have identified Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson as a potential signing before the summer transfer window closes on September 1, sources have told TEAMtalk, with Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta also considering another Premier League star following the injury to Kai Havertz.

I cannot take this club seriously if this happens :banghead::fury::censored::ilt:

I think we'll be ok, as Goku has a pretty impressive injury record (another huge plus for the signing) and we have Merino if needed. I also liked that young kid we had pre-season and probably he'll get an opportunity.

If any more money is made available for this transfer window, IMO the priority still has to be getting someone else to take the load off our misfiring captain....spending money on anything else is a waste IMO.

BTW, I wonder who tackled him, I hope it's not Gabby again :lol:

If Havertz is cooked long term then we need another forward. Jesus won’t be back until the winter which means we’re a Gyokeres injury away from a really bad situation again.

I wouldn’t bank on his past fitness reliability at all. That seems to change for every player once they put on our shirt. :lol:

Forrest just signed Douglas Luiz, pretty impressive deal for them, especially if they can get him back to his Villa form

It won't.

This will actually cause a riot.

But I do not like absolutes, because I have learnt that nothing in the world is black and white, and the intention of my posts has been to argue against those (not necessarily you) who are not willing to see the other side of the Arteta argument.

We essentially want the same thing - like most Gooners - so your right best to leave it there.

I apologise if I upset you as I actually didn't mean to.

What I wanted to do was contrast clearly where our differences are and get to why going on about recruitment and transfer spends would be futile as we're both coming from opposite ends.

I hope me clearing this up helps so you understand that my post was in no way meant to paint you as some sort of absolutist or apologist.

Well if most of you think this way that means a Nicholas Jackson loan move is quite probable.

Not upset at all mate - and you said nothing untoward - just exeggerated a bit. Understand the contrast point :good:

Yeah, I've read it again, and I will hold up my hands that I did exaggerate your stances on a few things....another reason why I don't like to keep particular lines of arguments going on for too long.

Again, I'll take the blame for it, but I do respect your views , just don't agree with some of them (which I should have just said earlier).

Would we be heading to hell if we put in a cheeky bid for Wissa :shrug:

Edit: just realised, he's pretty good on playing on the left too
