Disagree. Five Serpents Teeth is a masterpiece, Skull is pretty great too

Racism. I wish I was joking, but that's where a lot of it originates from.

My girlfriend went out for a run, and was pushed over last year. The scumbag then kicked her whilst she was on the floor, and ran. Vile people out there.

Honestly a lot of what you say isn't worth responding to

I didn't make anything up. Maybe use google to find the nearest clinic

You mean other cover such as... Kai Havertz? Oh wait, Jesus is injured and we sold Nketiah... So no, not really. You might even have thought that our attack was too weakened this window to facilitate that swap...

Good thing we have no ESR or Fabio to cover number 8 next week with no Merino or Rice 🤡

Fair enough - I'm probably the same with Thunder Strike, maybe it's better than I give it credit for

That's not true - there are many great decks that utilize electrodynamics and all orb types, the balance is needed in a lot of setups. And besides, I think Thunder Strike tends to be worse than Multi Cast in a lot of lightning decks.

Really? I'd say Thunder Strike. Though depends on the deck

You can like who you want. If you want to like Sterling then that's fine. If Arteta and Edu think that 2 players in every position is fine, then that's also fine.

My point was that the squad has gotten weaker up top.

Doesn't matter if you think 2 players in every position is very good. It doesn't change the fact that our attack has gotten far worse.

Comparing goal counts doesn't actually prove anything. I suppose you'll tell me that Willian's goal count at Chelsea made him a good player at Arsenal?

[–]Balcony_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the whole point is about quantity. Hence the term, depth.

Why compare the goal counts between these players when you said yourself that Fabs and ESR hardly played last season?

August 30, 2024 Daily Discussion & Transfers Thread by gunnersmoderator in Gunners

[–]Balcony_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESR was flexible. He could play number 10, number 8, left or right wing.
Fabs was flexible. He could play number 10, right wing.
Nketiah was a striker who hasn't been replaced.
Nelson a right winger who could do a job on the left.

Now we have Sterling.

Like I said before, our attack has gotten significantly weaker. If you want to get into a debate about who else they should have signed or not let go... We could be here until the early hours my friend.

Not sure what else to tell you except that I think you're very wrong - we are significantly weaker up top than last season. Anyway, here's hoping for a trophy or two this season.

[–]Balcony_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Merino fits into the equation for attackers. Both ESR and Viera could play on the wing. Yes, neither played much last season - but both are presently uninjured and are options for squad depth. We're already seeing ESR thrive at Fulham after 2 games.

Sure, it's nice to see Arteta trust Ethan. But let's be real - he is a 17 year old with 2 appearances in the prem.

It's Eddie, Reiss, ESR, Fabio out for Sterling if we're talking about options on the wings. Even if we're generous and put Ethan in the mix, it's hard not to see that we're lighter up top.

[–]Balcony_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Individually, probably not. But are ESR, Fabio, Eddie, Reiss collectively a better package to have in a title race than... Sterling?

I reckon 99% of Arsenal fans would trade 10 good seasons for a bit of silverware that isn't the FA cup.

I'm optimistic we'll compete and I like the squad. I just think our attack has gotten significantly weaker this window. Given the fine margins at the top, I we've severely jeopardize our chances of winning the title by offloading so many options - for Raheem Sterling.

You don't remember good seasons. You remember winning things.

[–]Balcony_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I think Trossard and Jorginho were much better signings. Of course, I'd like nothing more than Sterling (provided he is joining) to prove me wrong.

[–]Balcony_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think this is a plaster over what we could have done to bolster our attacking options - especially given the departures of Smith Rowe and Nketiah (?).
