There’s definitely improvements we can make, but this squad is actually quite good. We should all be happy.
We need to actually sign Lavia first lol, not convinced by that one. Also Jorginho
You’re right, Jorginho should be in there rather than Lavia.
Thank god, i thought I’d missed some news
Arteta buying Havertz for the left 8 makes me think ESR will do well as rotation there. Late runs and attacking threat is his bread and butter.
I have a feeling that Emile will end up really giving Arteta a headache. Especially if this talk about special 8 training sessions are to be believed.
Hopefully he can stay fit and bring back his form from 21/22
Somehow (somehow = splashing 200m) we’ve managed to get better AND younger! Think the next steps should be offloading before we get anyone else in.
Sadly if we want money we have to offload to another PL club, it’s hard to get good deals in other leagues
I imagine we will be selling during the pre-season tour and then right before the season starts we’ll probably pick up a couple of players that will be rotation. Getting the starters in before pre-season is massive. Looks like the plan is bring starters in early -> sell deadwood -> look for opportune pick ups. My hope is that there is room for one more big signing out of nowhere.
I think what will be really important is the quality of depth we have. A couple of injuries last season and things went downhill fast. Now we’ve got CL, so there’ll be a lot more need for rotation.
That’s the one thing that worries me. Does Arteta know how to rotate?
He didn’t really demonstrate it last season, there was a clear A team and B team and the B team looked really poor.
Still looking pretty weak in midfield and up front for a real title push. Jorginho is a big miss from midfield, think he will important with depth. Havertz could play up front but that takes away from midfield depth.
Looking good at the back.
