Merino Or Eze!? Who’s The 8 Arsenal NEED!? | In-Focus 

Even France doesn't value him

What are you talking about??? He's signed for Milan

@@LukeJohnson-tw5bono he hasn’t. He’s agreed personal terms with Milan. Same way Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Calafiori. Means nothing until both clubs agree on a fee.

I think he is on the list. Just probably as a 4th choice last resort

This. Unless ESR is pushing for a leave so he can be the main man somewhere else and try to get back into that england team.

Sell ESR. Get Eze.

Sell ESR. Get Eze. ✅

That’s about 200m. There’s absolute zero chance we buy 2 forwards. It’s either a versatile winger (someone LIKE Williams) or a versatile Striker (like Gyokeres) Plus Calafiori and a CM. 3 players. Don’t forget we also just bought Raya for 27m, which gets overlooked

My guy really thinks ESR is on Eze’s level 😂

Exactly, he's perfect for us

facts

He can get 16 G/A like Xhaka from that no. 8 role tho? 🤔

Yeah, let's neglect all the other positions we need strengthen

@@TheKh65​​⁠That’s not what Kelvin is saying is it? 🤦‍♂️

@@csandsoccer4660 did I say he did¿

I guess u won’t be excited this year. Cause we ain’t signing a striker. The signing of Merino will almost confirm the permanent move to ST for Havertz.

@csandsoccer4660 didn't say he did? Did I?

Eze a left winger and Spainish lad is a central midfielder 🤷‍♂️

Eze has what Arsenal is lacking and also a left wing option. Merino will unlock Martinelli and Havertz on left but I’d rather have someone more athletic

@@abhinavsingh619 Trossard can do all that and he was our man for the big moments

We’ll be playing very brave football

@@thabotsutsubi4032 don't think so I think it will be more defensive to concede less again

hes better as the 6

True

I am worried too. Its taking so long!

We do NOT need a striker.

@@Just-J2 i respect your opinion, but u probably the *ONLY* gooner who thinks that . Am gonna assume ur ideology is that if we can bring a wide player & a midfielder, along with what we already have now , that would be enough .. !! I respectfully disagree, as long as we don't solve the problem of that position, we won't get anywhere, to lack the efficiency in any position in the team, then immediately u r not a champion team who will get trophies .

@@zizoo8256 we do not have an issue with scoring goals. We broke our own goalscoring record 2 seasons in a row. Havertz is the most well rounded, top cf itw in his current age bracket. He gives us the tactical flexibility we want, being able to play long or from the back, and win duels in the box. Now, think about this. What strikers, in the current market, can replicate the havertz dynamics in the front 3, is a tall presence in the box (which Arteta MUST have), and is an upgrade on havertz profile wise? The only possible options are oshimen(costs too much) and Evan Ferguson (who’s still raw). You’re fixing problems we don’t have, you’re just creating your own problems. Oshimen is a superior havertz with the added ability of transitional threats, but is even WORSE at finishing. In other words, buying oshimen is like paying 100mil for pace, and that’s it. Ferguson is the only striker option that can replicate havertz profile and is a clear upgrade in the cf position but he’s simply too raw and too expensive as of now. Name me any other viable striking option, and if I have watched and known the player before, I can easily tell you why it’s not a good buy. There’s a few musts for arsenal this window. This window isn’t to upgrade the starting xi, rather like Arteta wants, to provide even better squad depth for every position. Arsenal need a defender that can cover lb (replicating Gvardiol role in city) and versatile in the back 4. Arsenal also need 2 midfielders, especially if partey leaves, which is almost certainly the case. A DM that can cover for rice and a high quality left 8 that can be starting most matches. For the forward options, arsenal won’t buy more than a winger, one that can play on both flanks and is a threat transition wise. Buying a striker, in the current market is simply idiocy. Sesko was the only real option, and it was cuz he was a market opportunity. Our fanbase are pure idiots, none of them understanding what Arteta and edu aim and strive for in the current squad, or how we even play at all. Clearly showcased by those who keep asking for a striker for no reason. Wait and see what happens by the time the window ends. Arteta vision is clear, just don’t be blind. He knows far more than any of you lot.

He really reminds of Edu - very similar all-rounder with a very similar stature.

@BB-ck7xe Agreed, similar build, height and left footed...

Because Saka is better and You don't bench Kudus

Olmo not an 8 we need an 8

😂😂😂😂

We are not going to sign him. We wont be willing to pay the 10M difference

Still haggling over his price. Foreign clubs take a piss by overpricing their players when dealing with EPL clubs.

You don't pay £50m for a bench player when your starting 11 isn't complete

(I’m not saying James is forcing this btw)

Players like Fofana or Onana were more suitable replacements for a Partey but they’ve agreed moves elsewhere. So Thomas is staying. & we will still get a Merino to play no. 8 tho. Like Xhaka & Rice have done in this system.

Musaila is not for sale

Yet you got the answer wrong 😭🤡☠️

The best available left footed 8. Will bring more balance to that left side.

@@bradleyc3218 absolutely agree with that!
