ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

But what we most definitely DO NOT need is a proper goal scoring striker. No sir, definitely not. What we need is right backs and lots of 'em.

How 'bout that bloke Porro at the scum? He's a useful right back......don't tell Mantis. :lol: :wink:

I dont doubt that for a minute buddy, but the problem is that the c.unt is after signing or is on verge of signing a new contract, so el basque see's him as a key part of our future :roll: :banghead: :banghead:

Its not about RBs,it about us being weak defensively atm ,timber out,Tomiyasu out,Zinchenko being poor full stop, our weakest links are the back 4 ,especially the full backs ,according to some we should have kept Tierney who never ever got injured, Tomiyasu is a huge loss

Very worried, particularly about Zinchenko.
If we score in the first 15 mins and don't concede in that time, we'll get something from the game, if they score first, we're fucked and could lose 3-0.

Our weakest position without doubt is the number 9 position without a doubt, and neither martinelli nor saka are playing anywhere near the heights of last season (then again who is ?). Buy another full back and by the seasons end we will have nearly a dozen full backs in the squad and still no proper number 9 striker - where is the logic in that ? If he sold a few of them to buy better full backs then that would be ok, but to buy more and hoarde them is ridiculous

It is an absolute disgrace that on the victims match thread we are reading so many comments about the need to get tommy back to replace zinchenko - for starters tommy is off to asian cup in January and will be gone for a month, but secondly he is a right back and is meant to be the answer at left back ?? I understand why a lot of Gooners had written off Tierney cos of his injuries, but you simply dont get rid of two left backs in one transfer window unless you are bringing in another left back is better. Please dont sicken my arse with shit about Timber being brought in cos again, Timber is a right back or right sided centre back who can fill in at left back but ISNT A LEFT BACK. Rank bad squad management by the gormless basque clown and edu

Timber can play left back, but looks so comfortable on the ball that inverting from right back ( if inverting is what we are constantly going to do now) gives us an alternative to using Zinchencko in that role and potentially playing Kiwor as an orthodox defensive left back, he looks stronger and more switched on defensively that Zinchencko that’s for sure.

BBC:

Fulham will demand a fee of up to £60m in January for 28-year-old Portugal midfielder Joao Palhinha, who has been linked with Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Arsenal.



Arsenal have added Sao Paulo's 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder Pablo Maia to their list of potential January targets


Arsenal have contacted Ivan Toney's representatives as they consider making a firm offer to Brentford for the 27-year-old England forward.

Who genuinely believes our weak spots will be sorted with new signings in January.
No serious team can play without a top full-back.
Zinchenko needs replaced.
