Winter Transfer Speculation

[I am invisible]

My boss is a season ticket holder at Ipswich and he said this guy is a cut above, he said he is clearly going to do well somewhere, be it arsenal or another premier league club, said he clearly has it. Better than the last Arsenal cast off they had, Jay Emmanuel thomas, who he said seemed very talented, but "the laziest player I have ever watched"

I've not really followed him in any great detail, but every time I hear him mentioned, someone is singing his praises. If his loan manager is happy, then that usually means he's acting like a professional - that's the first thing I look for when we send these kids out for these things.

Lot of promising young attackers waiting for their chance at the moment - Maitland-Niles, Toral, Zelalam and Reine-Adelaide are all sounding like they've got a decent future. Given how Campbell and Iwobi have come straight into the team and immediately impressed, I'd be looking over my shoulder quite nervously if I were some of these senior players...

Out of the names you mentioned, I only expect Iwobi and maybe Uncle Jeff to push through.

And Maitland-Niles.


Zelalem looks like he could be a deep lying playmaker but apparently Rangers are using him as an 8 and he is struggling. Toral is 22. Not sure about him. Same for Crowley and a few others.

Bennecer (sp?) has apparently been really good too.


Theo and Ox are probably done here although I really think Ox just needs instructions on what to do and not do on the pitch and Wumger doesn't do that.

Iwobi and Akpom are the future

It's a big problem because he thinks he is a creator and not a finisher. Alexis should be out center forward but he has that Ramsey-must do everything complex.

People are over the moon of him playing right but he should be doing he same on the left but he drops too deep and wants to create.

He is a tactical problem.

Still think he's a tactical problem? We forget he's more familiar playing as RW. It's another good game for him without Giroud on the pitch. We'll see if he can keep things going.

Key elements for our attack imo - a quick striker that's mobile. A CM that distributes the ball well, smart positioning and keeps the ball moving. If neither player has those key components to their game, we're going to struggle to break teams down.

I'd be surprised if any of them have a significant impact on the senior team besides Crowley and of course Iwobi...

Looks like we're in for Lukaku...

Arsene takes the cut price option shocker.

Is this the Stats robot again? If so, fine. It's done a much better job than Wenger and our blind scouts. But if Wenger is driving this as another one of his bargain bucket adventures then fuck right off.

I know it's from the Metro but to be fair we probably will be looking at getting in a young left back if Gibbs moves on in the summer.

Classic Wenger

You can just imagine it when we sign him...

Wenger "Look...everybody tell me to buy Lukaku and I buy Jordan Lukaku and you still reproach me" "I like Romalu Lukaku but we are not in the market for strikers, we have 3 world class strikers, I have Welbeck, Giroud & Walcott, where would I put Romalu Lakuku?"
