Not 100% confirmed but this video sounds more reasonable than the previous osimhen vid. That was totally unnecessary.

[ricomiller]

Bring in Zubimendi, Havert can be our go to plan B Striker.

[markharriot]

AFTV turning into Sky Sports rapidly 🤦‍♂️

[kundaimalvern]

Saka was a LB at first but changed. What about Zinny? I think Zinny can play midfield in the future. Arsenal shud sign a quality LB then play Zinny in the midfield

[razbusari]

We need to sell Cedric Soares, Elneny, Nelson, Lokonga, Vieira and Tavares. They are not playing that much, we will save wages, and hopefully we'll raise enough to get a solid defensive midfielder and striker in.

[leemcmahon]

Much better than Robbie just reading the news papers out loud.

Zubimendi is good midfielder, potential to be great. I’ve been watching him (cause like other football fans, I watch over leagues) for 4 years and I don’t really see the hype. It’s only this season he’s improved his game but even at that, like Cecil said he is just an upgraded Jorginho. Check his stats and watch him he’s just above average. Even his passing that people applaud him for ain’t it cause his passing style is different to a Jorginho. Pythagoras in boots did a great analysis on him and I wasn’t surprised by the things he said. I’d prefer Onana simply due to this physicality, long range passes, aggressiveness, and defensive contributions + he’s younger (Onana still has a lot to learn too). My opinion, zubimendi should stay in Spain or go to Germany. Honestly I’d actually want Arsenal to be ambitious and try and convince Goreztka or/and(if they really want the best) Barella

E.Fernandez can also look at the way he plays similar to M. Zubimendi or you can look at Atalanta player T. Koopmeiner. With a cheaper price than Zubimendi with FFP. Could be an alternative. Then I hope that Gimenez can be brought to the Emirates as soon as possible on loan next season with the option of permanent status.

[shannonmorton]

Anyone else here not that excited about his guy or just me?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[ReZN_i_Addikt]

Arsenal are only in competition to sign the b list players. No top players want to come to this joke of a club

[ThePundit]

You forget about Elneny, we dont have to sell Jorginho in the summer. We can move on Elneny and Partey to accommodate Zubi and Onana.

[jfedererj]

Sounds like a good bet for better covering Partey. Loved the stat on his defensive work. Zuba-Rice-Øde mid? With Kai, ESR and Onana as options? I like.

[tokroy]

With the FFP rules and Arsenal's current shortage, it could be said that they have to complete the squad so they can raise the level in terms of scoring goals, with the lack of a less than optimal supply of forward passes, especially the midfield, which could be a problem for the remainder of the competition. Currently, Arsenal's attack points are always on the right and left wing lines so that opponents can read Arsenal's game so far. Nothing visible from any line that could endanger the opponent in front of the goal. T. Koopmeiner, E. Fernandez could be a good buying option at a cheaper price than Zubimendi. Then with the remaining finances making it possible to bring in a striker on loan is the perfect alternative. S. Gimenez who I feel is the most perfect candidate among Arsenal's current targets. Gimenez is a complete striker physically, tall, strong, heading, kicking and has very good vision so this striker character is what Arsenal currently needs, supported by a midfield with deadly passing accuracy and wingers like Martinelli, Saka, Jesus, Trossard . If the players Gimenez and T. Koopmeiner can be brought in, I think it can raise Arsenal's level of play. The midfield combination of D. RICE - T. KOOPMEINER - ODEGAARD ​​is very good and complements each other. On the front line G. JESUS ​​- S. GIMENEZ - B. SAKA will be a deadly and frightening trident for the opponent.

[phantomsixthman]

I think we're massively not using fabio vieira properly due to the system arteta plays. If he was to play as a 10 with little to no defensive duties like ozil had, i believe he would flourish and dang weve seen his quality and vision, he could be a 15-assist type of player if used properly.

[soothinglycool]

How bout Zubi & Monaco's Fofana instead of onana?

[kanekikenn]

00:07 that's all I needed to hear FFS .bye

[christiancamacho]

I think the move is to let Cedric and Elneny move on, Sell Partey, Tavares, Lokonga and Tierney. Buy Zubimendi ($50mil), Toney ($65mil) and a RB.

[theomatthew]

Zubimendi fits the bill as a replacement for Partey by ensuring that we retain not only a ball winning capacity in our defensive midfielder but also the passing attributes to immediately turn defense into attack as the Ghanaian is so skilled at doing.

That his recruitment would then permit Rice to showcase that we ain't seen nothing yet given that now as the dedicated box to box midfielder I'd expect him to surpass the exploits of Xhaka's best season, whilst the degree of playmaking the Spaniard would bring from deep also works to once again unleash Odegaard further forward and be more focused on his creative and goalscoring aspects.

If we were also to secure the services of Onana as well as Zubimendi in exchange for the departures of Partey, Jorginho and Elneny from our midfield, not only would we at last have a

[aniqanas]

January:
Cedric wage lifted, £10Mil for Tavares and £2Mil for Elneny — spend £18Mil for Kyle Walker-Peters

Summer:
Zubimendi in for £54Mil, Osimhen in for £120Mil

[MH-soyq]

You win and lose games in midfield. Most important position on the pitch in my eyes. If that’s capable throughout the season you always have a chance.
