Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

Rice isn’t going anywhere, he just needs to be played as defensive midfielder where he excels at things like tackling, interceptions and snuffing out danger. He is not the all-action Steven Gerrard type that Arteta seems to think he is.

Should the Zubimendi transfer happen that will be a step in the right direction. I would also like us to sign a player like Morgan Rogers who can help with transitioning defence to attack quickly but also provide a physical presence.

As much as the forward areas need strengthening, we are also going to be very light in midfield if Partey and Jorginho leave as expected.

Major summer ahead that will probably define the remainder of Arteta’s time here.

I'd also like a player in the mold of Rogers at the club, I think he's a fantastic player.

In fact we came close to doing that when we were linked with Kudus, but you know who changed his mind at the last moment and Kudus begrudgingly joined the Hammers.

Well be fair, we needed to buy another defender
