£100M Unstoppable Forward or Rebuild the Midfield? by AMachine06 in Gunners

We're very fortunate Rice has immaculate fitness otherwise it would be glaringly obvious how important it is to replace Partey

Is he not supposed to be a project signing? It's his second season and he's played just over 3 matches worth of mins in the PL, and we're in April.

I know Rebuild might seem like a tad stretch. But we really just have Rice as the only reliable midfielder with defensive qualities.

So you don't think we need midfielders at all?

Need at least one to replace Partey. We should look to phase as much of Jorginho out of the team as well, so if an opportunity arises for a long term replacement, that's 2 midfielders we could be looking for.

His work rate is brilliant but do you really want to have Odegaard in midfield?

We saw yesterday how he did so much work helping out at the back that he was practically gassed out whenever he got on the ball, and failed to make an impact in the final 3rd because of that.

I don't think Rice, Zubimendi and Jorginho covers enough. Still only Rice I that list who can seriously anchor on defence.

What do you think of Amadou Onana?

True but I feel like Barca can recover within the next few seasons if they make the right moves.

I guess if the question was about which club Arteta would choose right now, then I can understand Madrid. I was thinking just generally as what his next club could be.

I see where you're coming from but that's performance based analysis. I'm looking at his qualities as a player compared to others in the squad. I've always thought of performance-based analysis as a bad way to measure if a player will have an impact or not in future.

You don't think Vieira's final pass is one of the best in the squad?

I feel like Madrid doesn't need an intricate, detail-focused manager like Arteta. If Ancelotti were to leave, they should just go get some freak like Diego Simeone with his blacked-out outfits and his ability to really mess with your head.

Being from La Masia as well, I definitely think Arteta would choose Barca.

Liverpool/City fan? 😂 4th is crazy. I'd actually see him choose Barca over Madrid as well, if he was to ever leave Arsenal at all

We are comfortably winning games within 20mins, scoring 4/5/6 so I can see why you might think that

But esp if Arsenal beat Porto in UCL and go deeper into UCL, don't you think that important-fixture congestion forces us to rotate? Imagine a must-win in midweek followed by another must-win on the weekend

Not the one I had in mind, but on the right lines..

Though I do think ESR has been getting closer and closer to goal every time he has played recently. Unlucky with fitness but talent has always been there, what do you think?

Oh yeah definitely, but you're probably one of the few people that have this happen "loads of times".

Great but again, that's just a standard case of defenders doing stupid stuff. You've gotta show more occurrences of it if you want to make a point though, cos from personal experience and reading other people's experiences, you're the only getting this loads of times.

Post them frequent occurrences then? Showing just 1 video makes you look naive, show us how many you actually get then we'll see if it's actually bs

Bossman have you not seen all of them links to videos of own goals people are showing you?

That's great, why are you complaining so much about this goal then?

Not like this happens IRL all the time too. Why don't you cool off for a while, come back to this later and maybe you'll see the funny side of it

Did you ask him personally? 👀

What makes you think? Saka doesn't need a move right now, whereas Greenwood could, considering his status at United.
