summer '22 transfer craziness and stupidity

[Mac76]

Zinchenko's a good hire but my excitement at the signings is a bit tempered by not just Xhaka but also Cedric not being talked about as likely to go - it's looking like Arteta sees them as part of the future, at least for the time being.

Until we get rid of that kind of banter trash player we're going nowhere

Before we start selling, especially defender's, we need to look at replacing Tommy. He is injured yet again and is pretty shit anyway.

It’s ok, we have cover there. Ben White, Cedric…we don’t need another right back, especially with Hyphen-Hyphen coming through

He's one of our best defenders, but if it's true re injury then it's a worry

When fit Tommy is one of our best defenders and one of the best right backs in PL IMO. Problem is he is always injured. I think this season we will get away with having White or to a lesser extent Cedric cover him. Another season of Tommy's injuries and we need to dip into the market for solid competition similar to what we have done with Zinchenko for Tierney.

I really like Tommy but I don't see how anyone can suggest he's anywhere close to being one of the best RBs in the league. He's genuinely clueless in a attacking sense, which is a huge part of fullbacks games now.

We've watched him have simple forward balls to play but he almost always opts to play it inside or backwards. It's really not good enough for a modern fullback, tbh.

Not sure i agree tbh, my memory of him going forward is pretty positive but it feels like a small sample ATM, we just need him to stay fit and he can iron out any issues, the point is he has potential to be a legend whereas Suarez is just banter
