Arteta’s Transfer Targets: Summer 2024

[Riou]

I reckon were signing good old Marcus!

I hated Trossard, Jorginho, Havertz and Rice before we signed them...and now all are my fav players here

Let's add big nose Marcus to it I guess, Arteta knows how to fix them up!

Just like Arteta knew Havertz was a midfielder when the whole world told him he was crazy

Branthwaite has high potential and he's also homegrown and a current England International. Everton are in financial breach so may be willing to cash in for a decent price. There's potential opportunity here. I can see Man U being all over this with their CB situation.

Can’t see us getting a young, English CB for less than 60m. Like I said in my previous post, he’d also want to start a select amount of minutes as he’s played nearly every game for Everton in the PL this season.

People go on about Gabriel’s mistakes but put the spotlight on Branthwaite in a CL QF tie or PL run in and I think he’ll show his inexperience by making a lot more mistakes than Gabriel.

We need another forward and central midfielder far more urgently than another defender.

Who would you think is available and would significantly improve our forward line? We've already matched our best ever 88 goal record and are on our way to beating that record this season if we score in the next 2 games. Who could we add to the squad to potentially add that extra 10-12 goals to hit the 100 goal barrier?

It doesn’t work like that. We have 88 goals. It doesn’t mean every season every player will score same amount of goals and new player goals will just be added

We failed to score in 6 games in all competitions. City only failed 3 and Liverpool 4. The problem with not having a great goal getter and relying on non consistent goal scorers is you risk having guys having season like Martinelli. A solid striker in this Arsenal team should get more than 12 league goals like havertz. He has done better than anyone expected because no one rated him. But I have no doubt guys like Watkins or Solanke would be on more than 12 goals leading our line

Doubt they’d be on more than 12 if they spent 60% of the season in midfield.

Ok people would you guys take Darwin Nunez?

When played as a 9 Havertz has a better none penalty goals per game over both of them. Better points per game too as a 9. Havertz has performed better against his xG compared to Solanke too.

I wouldn't object, although my current favourite is Vlahovic

I could be wrong, but I'd look at a Branthwaite signing as more an upgrade on the Kiwior spot than direct competition for Gabriel. He's an option at LB when we want to have the LB play more as a LCB in a back three, while also providing cover for both Saliba and Gabriel with his two footedness. He's the sort of versatile defender I could see Arteta liking a lot. His more advanced type of stats on % of tackles won and % of aerials won are also really good despite being only 21. With that said, TNAT did mention that Arsenal inquired into him as he's viewed in the industry as likley to move given Everton's financial position and there will be lots of competition, so I don't see a cut price coming on him.

I really like Hato's fit with his passing skills, but he is a bit raw at the moment and his tackling and aerial percentage stats are a bit concerning. If we sign Hato i'll be really excited but at the same time if he's our only defender signing this summer I would be a bit nervous about who fills in at CB in the case of a Gabriel/Saliba injury.

Watkins I don't believe would be available especially as it looks like Villa will be playing Champions League football next season. Solanke has had a good season yes, but he only scored 6 goals last season from 32 appearances. Might aswell keep Nketiah at that rate. He's a late bloomer, yes, but is he the answer to "significantly improve" our forward line?

Our forward line don’t need significant improvement. Slight improvement may be difference between being trophy less yet again or winning something

Solanke has probably just enjoyed a purple season. A one off season where he has scored a lot. Will probably return to being meh next season.

Watkins I think is good & would probably do ok here.

Exactly. A couple of additions would make a big difference.

A winger & a striker (level raising ones) Job done.

Isak & Williams would be nice. Isak might be difficult, esp if we also want Bruno.

Why spend a lot of money for only slight improvement? We do need to consider getting value for money and not just spending money frivolously.

[Sanchez11]

Why not, add sell on clauses.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Yeah because 60 m for those two is not enough...

 

[Nunowoolmez]

Probably bs but you take the money & run if it was legit.

Would prefer to keep ESR & give em Nelson, but hey ho
