Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

Couldn't you convince her to go on a diet?

I wouldn't say I don't want Isak (at least it would really piss off the Geordies) but I definitely wouldn't spend 200m or anything close to that on a striker, especially since we are just another version of Citeh and we've seen how Haaland has been neutered a bit this season.

We're not that bad that any decent striker below 80m wouldn't do a good enough job. TBH I think we should try and buy 2 strikers anyway.

I also still think we need to worry about a proper alternative to Odegaard (thats if this stubborn coach is still in charge and continues to not see Nwanerri as that option) and someone on the left who is obviously better than Trossard & Martnelli.

But lets see.

I think I agree with you. If we bought 2 'lesser' strikers who can give us 15 goals a season, I'd prefer this to breaking the bank for an Isak or similar in his price bracket.

We won't though. We will go for a 'lesser' striker and a winger and that will be our lot in the Summer.

The irony with Arteta is that he let ESR and Vieira go supposedly to give Nwaneri a chance as Odegard's understudy. The further irony is that we can't even try to develop Nwaneri as an 8 because we have noone else to play 7.

It's worse than you think. Talk now is we should let Saliba go so we can fund a big name striker. Music to the Kroenkes. That would be so Arsenal. Fix the defence while the attack goes to shit. Fix the attack by gutting the defence. Apparently White can play there. Also, supposedly, it will be very hard to say no if somebody comes in with a big bid for Saliba. Nobody has explained why that's the case, it's just the latest common wisdom I suppose.
