Arteta’s Transfer Targets: Summer 2024

[A_G]

The filter is pretty narrow. There aren’t many top players who are proven that can comfortably cover both out wide and as a striker - could be another Kai situation where we try to be too smart rather than getting one for each position as I think we need both regardless. I would have said Isak but @A_G mentioned two pages back that Ornstein said it’s not happening. Mind you, I would have been pretty content with him.

Possible options that fit the profile, some wish list stuff in fairness:

Rashford
Kolo Muani
Oyarzabal
Malen
Thuram (Inter apparently not opposed to selling for a big fee)
En-Nesyri (played out wide a handful of times)

Giving me Europa vibes I don’t even know why we’re looking to cut corners.

Four signings would be perfect. LB, LCM, RW/LW + CF. Pretty realistic to do in one window if we get players out of the club.

Can't wait to read @Ash10 posting the following on their player threads:

Rashbum
Kolo Bumami
Oyarzabum
Bumen
Thubum
Bum-Nesyri.

What a depressing list. But its not illogical since Teta tend to sign useless búms.

Very reminiscent of Gabriel two years ago. Not quite as dominant in the air but physically strong as an ox, great left foot, very hard to beat 1v1 etc

Between you posting the above and the Kolo Muani ratings I was feeling like this

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Kolo Miami can't even do it in Ligue 1. Cunha is very similar to G.Jesus. Rashford are you serious ffs. Oyarzbal don't know much him Malen could be good backup for Saka

Ngl Gordon has impressed but you’re right that is pretty unrealistic, same goes for Cunha. Really like the look of him but not sure where he’d fit in our system. I guess he’s another unrealistic one since Wolves spent 50m on him last summer and I can’t see them letting go of him that easily:


Giving me Moussa Dembele at Sp**s vibes.

Yeah everytime I’ve watched Cunha I’ve thought this attacking midfielder is amazing. Didn’t realise he was a striker/forward.

He’s defo one to watch for another season, been super impressive. Debut PL season as well right?

Tbf most players with the correct attributes will improve if they come here, but yeah nothing in that list excites me.

cc @Trilly

Isak has to be the answer, I dont see any profile like him available, other than say Leao. Gordon is a good shout, but I dont think Newcastle would let him go so quickly.

Rashford? Nah, not seeing it man. His workrate off the ball has never been great, even at the best of times.

Check their stats

He’s been at Wolves for a year and a half. Initially signed for them on loan, I think.

Oyarzabal isn’t the answer. For a Villa, Brighton, West Ham etc sure but I don’t think he’s good enough for us. Neither is Zubimendi.

The latter is a bit of a steady eddie and doesn’t really move the needle imo.

 

[Paperino]

Teta has not improved Havertz btw. In terms of points he is still behind his best season at Chelsea. The truth is that Havertz has had temporary periods where he has contributed with a few goals/assists but overall he has been a big waste of money. Next season there should not be a place for him in the starting eleven as he isnt very good at any position at all.

Kolo Miami

 

[CannonBals]

We need starting quality of these 4 positions. Thats atleast 250m there.

Plus we need a GK (to replace Ramsdale)
And also the Raya deal will also happen in 24. So around 300m.
Possible if we manage to sell everyone we want.

 

[Sanchez11]

Im over it already tbh, Galaxy brain aint doing it.

Thuram is quality.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Besides Rashford who else even fits that profile. Gordon has played upfront a few times but his stock is way too high. Are the signs pointing to Isak again?

Think MR10 could do decent in an Arteta team but all the baggage attached would make it a nightmare signing. Also not been too impressed with him this season, even allowing for United being a shambles.

Isak.

Although it makes no sense, we need a winger who can cover/compete on both wings, not one who is a striker that can play wide.

 

[OnlyOne]

Think I need to drop the OnlyOne summer transfer list. Some of the absolute trash being posted in this thread on the last few pages.

Got me rolling in my grave.

 

[Rasmi]

Isak.

Nico Williams. New striker depends on Jesus. Until we actually remove some first teams. I don’t see where the space is. If you gonna spend 60-70 million on a striker. Jesus gotta be moved on.

Yep, agree.
