In your dreams maybe.His close control of the ball is awful,his legs go around like he is Eric Bailly of the attack.Better to avoid.

He plays right or left if im not mistaken.. Arsenal have Mkhi, Iwobi, and one of Auba or Lacazette to work the channels.
They REALLY need a defence. Its hilarious how mediocre every single player in their back 5 is, and then they have a loose central midfield on top.
Yes we should wait more. The RW position has been empty for a thousand year, another year will not make a difference.
How many teams have "agreed" with Pepe so far this window?
Give me Brunon Fernandes Woody please
Putting defence on a side, by looking at those names, they dont have shit on sides, Iwobi maybe and they probably rather see Auba or Laca as strikers instead playing wide.
Their wingers are Iwobi, Reiss Nelson, and Mkhitaryan. They’re not stocked in that position at all.
My only thinking is that we're 100% confident of landing Sancho next summer, even if we bring in Dybala (cant see it happening) he wont sort out our RW situation.
They won't play two up top to stay central, so one of lacka or Auba will work the flank (much like one of martial and Rashford would for us). The fact remains they have players capable of considerable chances and damage already, especially if Ozil gets going.
They lost Ramsey, Xakha is shite, they need to fix both full back positions and at least one centre back for Sokritis. They are far far more depleted in other areas of the pitch.
It's sort of like us spending our entire budget on a striker when we need a centre half. Nice buy, but makes little sense.
A defence that conceded less than us last season. I agree its awful but ours is probably only better now due to AWB. Them signing another attacker when they also score more goals than us is worrying and they are the team along with Spurs and Chelsea that we need to overtake to get top 4. Our main striker wants to leave also.
Our club just confuses me. Surely if our dream is Sancho we will need CL football next year. I would bet my house that we don't get top 4 unless we bring in some top players in next 12 days which I have little faith in happening. So what happens then?
One of the most ridiculous things I've seen posted for a while, you've outdone yourself.
Damn, that's big for Arsenal. Our attack looks a little mediocre, at the moment.
I'd rather wait for Messi as well to play #10. Neither is happening.
Jadon Sancho will never wear our shirt. When he leaves next summer, it'll be to a massively CURRENTLY successful club.
If you look at our goals conceded tally in the past 5 seasons youl find last season was a huge anomoly.
There's no need to panic and fill every hole now. These transitions take time. What if we buy Pepe, he's alright and not world class, we get top 4 and we want Sancho? Ed won't just buy another big signing and put Pepe on the bench. You might as well wait for the big signings when they're available and fill other big holes in the squad in the meantime.
It's infuriating but I agree that their defense is so laughable that it won't make much difference in terms of competing with them.
Who reported that Arsenal have a 40 million budget?
Ornstein dis iirc. Guess that flew out the window when they figured out they're in desperate need for some sort of investment. Or they've been bullshiting him from the start.
Plenty did.
They obviously changed that. They probably think Pepe is worth that, and not Zaha
Well, our defense is no better. Conversely, last season might have been an anomaly for our, normally decent, defense. But we're still in dire need of quality up front and there's two weeks left. Really awful planning from us if we're looking to add more players as, if they don't get going immediately, we'll be rolling in the "needs a pre-season" excuses.
Ornstein, this deal will be a chunk upfront and then installments.
People losing their shit over this transfer need to remember, you build a great team front the back, this will be the downfall of Arsenal this season and if they have the same budgets going forward, they'll be stuck in the same for the next couple of seasons.
If we get Maguire in addition to AWB in defence, we've gone the correct way of doing things, add James and Fernandes, that's a good enough summer for me. We have to be realistic in our expectations, those 4 signings would see us get top 3 and EL I'm sure.
Our right side is a big hole for me, the biggest along with CB in my opinion. Also our biggest problem is scoring goals if you look over same time period.
I'm all for winning games 4-3, 3-2 etc than hoping an average of less that two goals a game scored is enough to win us games. We only won 50% of our league games, that is abysmal to be fair.
I don't believe we are a better team overall than last year after losing Herrera and potentially Lukaku, despite our two new signings. Next season will be a huge struggle. I went against the general consensus on here last summer when I said we would not get top 4, this summer I am even more confident in us failing.
Ole touted the possibly of starting Greenwood against Chelsea. He was never looking for a RW on the market. He wants to give the kids a chance. Fine but can we get something to excite the fans?
Yeah, wasn't saying this one is wrong.
Instead of resorting to personal insults let's actually discuss what you disagree with. Anything?
The problem is that's a lot of ifs. It can all change quickly of course (Pepe to Arsenal being the topical example) but there seems to be feck all happening currently and there's less than two weeks left in the window. It doesn't really inspire confidence.
Unless Lingard or Mata are both injured I cannot see Greenwood starting despite what Ole said or says, we need nothing but three points opening day and his faves will always play. Also I'd wager the other youngsters will not even be on the bench if everyone fit.
This is starting to get depressing
Not fussed about Pepe. Good that Arsenal are spending 80M on him. I expected them to spend it on Zaha who is much less of a risk imo
Starting? If Arsenal get Pepe it won't even matter if we get Maguire, we'll be nowhere close.
Poor Zaha seems he’ll spend his peak years at Palace.
You simply can't put all the pressure on a kid by making him your starting right winger. Its just suicide. Should of got a quality right winger and ease the kids into the team. Absolutely disgraceful we haven't bought a right winger. Even more disgraceful if Ole put heaps of pressure on a kid like Mason Greenwood by making him our important starting right winger.
Pepe doesn't suddenly turn Arsenal into a much better side than us. Bit of an overreaction.
I think he will seriously push for a move at Everton now and Palace will have to sell for £50-£60 million at the most.
We'll end up getting Maguire, we haven't made bids to give up at this stage. Fernandes will be an easier one to get over the line as Sporting are evidently, open to selling.
Well they were ahead of us last season and are now improving their team. Not saying we don't stand a chance obviously but it won't be easy.
Guess we'll see next season. But Pepe, Tierney, and Ceballos are better than our players in the same position. And Arsenal finished above us last year.
