Doubt it mate, I don't think we have been linked to anyone as yet.
Jesus is not a very good finisher, but he is really good at everything else. I believe he was a big reason as to why Saka, Martinelli and Odegaard in particular all had huge break-out seasons. Jesus drops back, links-up, dribbles, is unselfish and is really strong over the ball. He really suited the style we played and had a nice synergy forming with the other three.
I'd be happy for him to continue to be our number one option. Personally I hope we sell Eddie and use Balogun and Trossard as backup forwards.
Arsenal pushing all the chips to the centre of the table with Arteta. They have pretty much everything they need to mount major challenges for all 4 trophies on offer now.
Making some good signings.
If Arsenal intend to play him as a right back, I think they will be very disappointed. Timber played there, but never shone there. He doesn't really have the pace, dynanism, crossing abilities that is needed at right back. Good CB though. Martinez is better.
We could do with replacing some out dead wood with him then back there.
Arsenal looking quite strong next season.
It looks like they will tuck in their fullbacks and act as midfielders. Rather than traditional bombing up and down the flank.
£50m in January as well. Pressure is on them to mount a serious title challenge at the very least.
Arsenal were already stronger than us and are making some cracking signings. We're heading for a disappointing season I think unless we pull some surprises out of the hat.
Stop the count!!
He will suit them perfectly.
Next year they will have CL money. Also, if I'm not wrong, their debts (especially stadium) are manageable now and their owners also willing to invest more.
Don't see any reality where we finish above them. Mount and rumoured signings of Onana, Hojlund and Amrabat don't move us any closer to the title. They are signings to stay in top 4 at best.
Not just Arse, Liverpool, Newcastle and (though it's a bit hectic) Chelsea are all strengthening and we've lost a goalkeeper but gained a decent midfielder. Still nothing to suggest we'll even get a striker now that GK is our default priority.
Our bloated wage situation has been rectified too, which was a huge hindrance. I understand the club had to get that in order before the Kreonke's were willing to invest.
No we don't. We are still lacking in CM quality and depth. Xhaka will leave and maybe Partey also.
So I guess they're going for three players (Saliba, White, Timber) covering two spots (RCB and RB) between them?
Wow arsenal not messing about!
Ah, thanks for the insight. If that is the case, he might be very well suited for the role.
It really all depends on of Partey is leaving. If not, then our depth is on par with where it was last season. Ideally we'd sign someone else, or convince Patino to stay (can cover both midfield roles).
But if Partey leaves then we absolutely have to sign someone. No excuses if we don't.
Tomiyasu has shown he can cover all defensive positions, he is very versatile. He's another option too.
Can’t help but feel gutted about this. Thought him joining as a RB/CB option with Maguire leaving was a formality.
We move on.
We move on.
Arsenal are looking strong for next season.
Didn’t we get quoted 50% more than that last season? Has his value just dropped that much?
Agreed. Our rivals are not sitting idle.
We are linked with players that fit our system. Mount and Onana improve our starting 11, are top players and fit ETH system perfectly. The next big gap in our squad is the striker, and whoever we sign is going to be better than what we had this season. Ideally, we would also move some squad players and replace them with better players. Amrabat fits that role if he replaces Fred.
Yup. It’s the hope that kills you.
It would have been fine if the Glazers said the sale process could take 12 months but instead they dangled the carrot of Q1.
Detrimental to the club to the end.
Good on Arsenal, they look really strong now. So I expect them to be even closer than last season because of the quality of their additions. It seems like they are literally throwing the chequebook at the transfer market to try and win that title. This Timber can be a very important player for their defence, especially if Saliba gets injured.
I wonder if this is it now for transfer moves?. Do Arsenal need any more strengthening?

Yes, he has a poor season as did Ajax in its entirety. Plus his contract has run down by a year.
Ajax also have increased expenditure and need to balance.
Love to see it. The lean years towards the end of Wenger was sad to see.
Come on Gunners, Come on Gunners!
Do they? Towards the end of the season the goals dried up and Saliba was absent. They've not done anything to address that in my eyes.
I imagine if Partey goes they'll get another midfielder for depth. With Xhaka going as well, they'll be reliant on Rice not getting an injury.
They are serious.
Why not match the bid?
We have Martinez. Timber is a little guy too, it would genuinely be an issue.
What do you mean?
Timber is signed to solve the Saliba point.
Havertz has signed to help with more goals from midfield. We also have ESR back who was our top scorer 2 seasons ago and didn't play any part last season really.
Arteta now at 600m spending since he joined with 70m only in outgoings.
If things stay as is, looks like we will be finishing behind Arsenal again.
