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.
Even though we made what so far look like some decent signings in the Summer (* with the exception of the fat ex-cheaty & ex-chav Fat wife beatingCunt sterling) I think the large majority of peeps on here are of the same opinion that we should have signed a Striker in the Summer window.
Various names were mentioned, but during last season and (again) in the opening weeks to this season I have noticed just how good the Brentford player Bryan Mbeumo is. To the best of my knowledge he isn't played as an out & out striker, but I think he would definitely fit in well with our style of playing; he has pace, is strong and can finish really well. I think he would be a far better option than Jesus and is only 25 and he cost Brentford £5.5 million (ish) four years ago, he is proven in the Prem and his contract with the Bees is due to end next Summer.
And if we can tempt him away with higher wages etc I think he could be a viable option as a striker/forward through the middle of the field. He's a very good header of the ball, can hold-up the ball and can strike/finish really well.
Lo and behold..... (Oct 22nd 2024) some 3 weeks later:
BBC:
"Arsenal are plotting a move for Brentford's 25-year-old Cameroon forward Bryan Mbeumo after his impressive start to the season"
Arsenal are weighing up a bid to sign Brentford's 25-year-old Cameroon forward Bryan Mbeumo
Arsenal's pursuit of Alexander Isak could be boosted by Newcastle's desire to bring in Gabriel Jesus as a replacement for the Swede.
