Kieran Tierney is a better crosser of the ball than any of the current Arsenal left sided attackers. Given how insipid we've been down the left hand side I wouldn't be unhappy if they gave Tierney a go.
I completely disagree. There is no way kt should play over Martineeli or Trossard. Once again all kt has to do is sneeze and our fan base go crazy. Kt can do no wrong. He obviously can’t do much for us now that is why the only rumor attached to him now is a return to Celtic.
Lewis Skelly is like a weird hybrid version of Thomas Partey. Composed, great tackling, and can spot that through ball forward. What a player for our left side.
Sesko is not only more technically gifted than Gyokeres, but he's also more athletic, hits the ball cleaner, taller, faster, younger, cheaper and has a higher ceiling. He's improving with every season under his belt. People are blinded by Gyokeres scoring a ridiculous amount of goals, but he's never done it in the top 4 leagues. We saw how Saliba and Gabriel easily handled him and yes I agree they're top defenders, but there are levels to the game. At 6ft5, Sesko would be a nightmare to defend from set pieces. It will take the pressure off Gabriel with teams double teaming him from corners. We don't need a 20+ goal striker, we just need another offensive option up top, coupled with another option on the LW.
My favourite NLD ever. After the worst 7 days of the season, coming from behind to smother and beat Spurs comfortably, the emergence of MLS as a superstar in the making, Gabriel marshalling the defence and Rice covering every blafe of grass, we were sensational. Honourable mention for the stadium supporters, showing Kai the love he needed and the team the love they deserve.
I respect your opinion, but for me personally, this NLD doesn't even get near my top 5 favourite NLD's at all. I'm happy for Gabriel & MLS, they both had excellent performances, but to say that we won the game comfortably is a massive stretch. Our equaliser shouldn't have stood because it was a goal kick, not a corner - a poor refereeing decision went out way for once. In attack, our front 3 were poor for the most part. Apart from working hard to cover ground and Trossard scoring, I felt Havertz was poor and Sterling is just finished at the top level. We got the job done. It wasn't entirely convincing, but I celebrated beating the spuds nonetheless.
last night was the reason i love football and forgot the rubbish games. i have been going to the gooners since 1960 and i promise you both thats always been the same, great moments grab you back
I agree with James about Villa. There was a lot of energy spend last night so I am expecting heavy legs and relief saturday so it will be very difficult to say the least. There are so many games coming in two weeks, let's hope we managed to not lose much.
We've dominated teams like Newcastle and United. We've created plenty of great chances. Just one clinical finisher could make all the difference. With a better attack, I think it will also improve our defence.
Breaking news is that Trossard has been charged by the FA for violent conduct for what he did to Pedro Porro. We have to wait and see how many matches he will be banned for
@ I remember back in the day (before VAR) Eduardo dived to win a penalty and the screaming and crying from rivals about he should be banned in retrospective.
You could probably put MLS in the front line and get more goals. He is clearly a natural footballer and instinctively knows how to handle any position.
Hey Charles - once Trossard had sent Porro for milk, the ref did have to stop the game for a head injury - Porro's head is going to be messed up for years after that!
L’equipe are reporting that arsenal are now happy to pay the gyokores release clause so.. unless its for the summer and sesko is a loan until end of season.
Hey Charles, pretty sure you have seen it but we are linked with Norwegian wonder kid Sverre Nypan . I don't think he will be the type of player that can come in and instantly make an impact but Arsenal like to recruit young players and we also need to recruit top young players around the world just like Chelsea and Mancity does. He can be a player that can help us make a statement. A statement which means we are open to young players and can let them grow in the highest level. I'm not the biggest expert when it comes to Nypan but he does play a lot similar to Odegaard.
We need to get in Nico Williams and Sesko one in the Winter one in the Summer. With Zubimendi joining us in the summer as well we are going to be one of the best teams in Europe!!!
@@mrlionrocks 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Arteta is the only reason we are where we are. We had two of our main player gone for most of the season (Saka and Odegaard) and a lot of important rotation options. And are still the second best team in the league behind Liverpool, if you already lost faith in Arteta then I’m sorry but you might as well turn into an Madrid fan because in the prem it’s just not possible to win every year (but that what makes it great😉)
Hi Charles, I just watched your Extra Time video, and it was interesting to see how you and James agonised over our striker issue. We know how well our young Academy players, Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri, have transitioned into our first team and deserve all the plaudits that have come their way. My question is simple: We have a young striker on our bench, Nathan Butler-Oyedeji. With our current misfiring attack, surely giving minutes to Nathan can't be worse than what we are currently seeing, or is he just a bench warmer?
Mika Biereth. Sold for 2m and now moved for 13 after scoring a lot of goals in austria. Obviously we expected this to happen because all his stats showed he would play like that. So can just assume they didn't think he was good enough to do it in the PL right now. But you look across young goalscorers round europe and he's up top!
Weirdly, left back may be a key purchase in the summer, despite all the options. Tierney goes for sure, Zinchenko and/or Kiwior likely too, and MLS needs to be played in his real position!
Badly. Considering so much of our play is focused on wingers and Trossard is the only scoring winger we have while Saka is out, plus Sterling is finished at the top level, a winger should be a must in Jan. Even a loan. Get someone!
in normal circumstances i wouldnt suggest Osimehn but i think he could be the best "low risk" signing. proven goalscorer in a good league . think u could still get a fair resale even after 18months if he doesnt work out. Sesko could be a Hojlund type sigining , so i worry how long it would take him to settle
Jonathan David has to be the obvious attacker brought in immediately, with just 6 months left on his contract, surely a £30m - £40m offer would suit Lille ? Also we've done business with them plenty of times before with Cygan, Gervinho, Pepe & Gabriel Magalhães. For me the Belgian who scored 37 goals in 88 games at Vitesse Arnhem, 21 in 42 at Lens & currently 38 in 70 at Red Bull Leipzig would be the realistic must striker summer signing but obviously the likes of Alexander Isak or Jhon Duran too depending on how all the clubs seasons end.
A lot of talented youth play in central midfield or attacking positions through academy days - because they're just so much better than their peers at that time - before moving into fullback positions as they mature. MLS could indeed be an inverting LB at maturity, or maybe a CDM. His body positioning would make him like busquets - turning players with his bum instead of a shimmy. I don't see him as an advanced 8 in this team, but i'm not the expert!
Arsenal signed Aubameyang and he couldn’t play in the Europa League, but Chelsea signed Giroud and he COULD play in the Champions League. 7 years on, I still haven’t been able to make it make sense
@ That just tells me that it’s one rule for one set of teams and another rule for the other set of teams. How’s that fair? How’s that not double standards?
I hate to pour cold water on the Sesko transfer, but Ornstein was on the Highbury Squad podcast about an hour ago and he told us that Sesko is almost not doable this month. Same with Isak, same with Vlahovic.
@@DrHankVentureI’m not naive to think RB will stick to their word. But I recall they promised Sisko to leave if a good offer came in. So perhaps he has a massive say. As for Vlahovic I think it’s also doable bec Juve signed a new striker (Muani) from PSG. So I think they’d be up for a loan move for the rest of the season. Especially if it’ll be with a small fee
@ Sesko, if I recall correctly, has a gentleman’s agreement for the summer if the price is right. We might need to overpay for him, and I don’t think the club is willing to do that with 2 weeks left in the window. I’m going to be really honest, I hope Vlahovic comes nowhere near us. He already proved he has no desire to be here. That said, he is possibly available and could be done, but he’s on big money according to Ornstein.
Sesko is going to be very tough in this January window. RB Leipzig may already be mathematically done in the Champions League this year, but they are in a close battle for Champions League spots for next year in the Bundesliga. Selling their main striker while they're in that battle wouldn't sit well with their fans . Plus, not sure if Klopp would want to help Arsenal catch Liverpool.
@@Nostradanus86 Fair enough. But as our own injury struggles have shown, every team knows they need depth for the second half of the season where ultimately everything is decided. Although seeing the reactions of Liverpool fans would be awesome if Klopp did us a favor. 🤣
I think the best cheap short term striker signing on the market is Johnathon David. Not perfect but he is in his prime and getting good numbers and has 6 months left on contract.
Most important position for this one will be Rice returning to 6. Roger’s rinsed Partey a lot in the reverse fixture. Got out of there with a win but can’t forget how much Partey struggles when we’re on the back foot. Rice, Merino, Odegaard for me.
@@Nostradanus86 Partey is an lssue defensively. Morgan rogers had the better of him last game, and we’re not as strong now. Partey is not the best defensive option at the club for 6. Any word otherwise is fraudulent ball knowledge. People don’t get merino. He isn’t pulling up trees but id trust him as the left 8 more than Partey at 6 against Villa.
I have seen sesko highlights he dribbles so much sometimes,if he come to arsenal he must know his work is to score only not dribbling we have enough dribblers so far something that is costing arsenal so much they dribble and forget that they need to shoot ,place the ball or look where the gkeeper is standing and doing what makes the fans happy.Generrally the squad must be improved where necessary ...players need to rest too.
What if Mikel is looking to play 4-4-2 next season with Zubi and Dec in the double pivot and Havertz and Sesko/Isak upfront, with Havertz dropping deep.
The 150 mill for Isaak I think would be better spent on Joa Pedro off Brighton and Bryan Mbeumo off Brentford I think it's going to take that type of money to get any forward out in Jan
@ricvin2986 We didn't breach. Everyone is saying we are in a good place with PSR . If Chelsea can spend a bill in two seasons and not breach, then surely we can open up the purse strings. Plus, it's the last piece we need in our team after that we don't need anything else. I'd rather we pushed the summer business to now and got no one in the summer
Im not listening to no transfer gossip until i hear a bid has been accepted.. all these rumours are similar to Fernando Torres, Yann Mvila, Julian Draxler.. linked with everyone but sign nothing.
But getting Sesko now rules out Isak in the summer! Sesko is a rough diamond and needs work where as Isak is the real deal and the finished article and still can improve. Why do we automatoclally think we cant get Isak? If we dont get him then Chelsea will!
Id like another but Not really , tomi, zinny, kiv, partey, jorg, so probs another versatile CB. 2nd gk, skelly will take one spot, as zubi, we'll get an attacking midfielder, tho think thats nwaneri, be nice to have another mid tho. Most important are the wings and up top. Depth n focal point. Have plenty of spaces to fill by next season so lot of work to do just hope they expand the squad. Up the arsenal
It has been reported many times in Spain that gyokeres is going to be Lewandowski replacement at Barca, apparently he has already agreed the deal, so I feel that's the reason why there isn't huge links to him from any other clubs. I think people need to forget it.
With a decent striker the game would have been over by half time,Arsenal left side needs new blood,badly.Gabriel should be captain,he's been player of season ,so far.
Spurs were VERY spursy 🤣🤣 They didn't turn up in the first half, we were on for 90% possession before they woke up 🤣🤣 Son ALWAYS seems to score against us, very poor to leave him unmarked from the corner. But great performances from us, with everyone giving the 150% they should in a NLD.
viktor gyökeres is the man not this German. viktor gyökeres stats speak for themselves 3 years in a row. Amazingly high! Plus he's been smashing it in the champions League. Plus he's got to be better than Kai.
In agreement here, Sesko has had one good complete season. That's not top level money for me. Up till Christmas, Kai has more goals than him even. If we had "will get" numbers for both players, and Gyokeres was £100M as a finished product, Sesko should be £60M by comparison. If he goes on a nice run, maybe split the difference in the summer. Edit: That said, Sesko is doing it in a proper league...
They are both about the same to be honest. sesko would score more if he was in Portuguese league and played the minutes gyok plays. Sesko higher ceiling since he is 21. Viktor is 26 yet there is hardly much btw them. Vicktor should have done better when he played us. Same for sesko should have done better but he was 20 and improved already since then.
Great shows guys. On the issue of Arsenal not shooting nearly enough, I don't think it's a "player" issue, I think it's a coaching instruction. Rice, Partey, Martinelli, Troussard are all players who have very good ball striking whether close or long range.
He is the type of player Arteta would love to have, and would be an immediate upgrade. Looks as though money is swaying him, as going from Serie A to Ligue 1 is a step down and shows a lack of ambition.
So much admiration...we were going down the same route as we have been ...so close to dropped points against a poor spurs side..I get there's being happy with the result, but don't push it to far
For two football people who claim to be supporters of this club saying Vlahovic is a waste of time is just beyond ridiculous! They mentioned we got 14 players available and got a game every 3 days yet a proven goal scorer in Vlahovic is a waste of time I can’t believe what I’m hearing
Arsenal had the chance to sign Isak when Newcastle went and got him, I always wondered about that. I know we had Jesus but he has never been proficient as a 9 even at Man City. Sometimes Arteta is so Wenger
Hey Charles, the only annoying thing if we get Sesko in Jan, is that surely we could have gotten him last summer and have missed him for half a season (which could result in narrowly missing out on trophies).
@@trevor3286 Because we were told he didn't come in summer because he wanted to stay for the development. If he now comes in Jan then that was a lie, it just means arsenal didn't make a good enough offer.
Don't be carried away by that victory arsenal was very poor, Tottenham were extremely poor, like united too arsenal needs to sort themselves out ASAP if they want to get anything out of this season, go sign top attacker like viktor gyökeres not sesko he can't help.
Sesko has everything Arsenal need, enough of the over thinking Footballers, Sesko is a Hitman, Arsenal have enough ballers, and Arteta letting City get a clear Run at Marmoush tells you everything about that Man, he thinks he is Smarter than he actually is, Marmoush can Run, Dribble, Shoot, Take Free Kicks and play all left, Right and Centre but Arteta is wasting Time on Nico Williams who he Can't get now, just an over inflated Ego
It doesn’t make sense to me that in one breath Isak is injury prone & then other he could revolutionise Arsenal? Make you mind people. You don’t think he would play all the games for Newcastle to the end of the season, then why would you want that for Arsenal?
Hi 👋 guys 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. I am happy 😀 Arsenal got the win thank God. North London is red..COYG to win the next match God willing. Have a good day guys 😂. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😀.
During wenger time, while we where fighting for top 4, we used to sign top players like Aubameyang, now at this stage, with better economic situation and fighting for the title. We must sign 1 0r 2 offensive players.
It's hard to get excited about zubimendi, didn't we buy rice for that position. We now have a scrillion left backs, next up a scrillion dm's? Can we take a look at the upper line of players please?
Any top quality players who want guaranteed medals, they'll always try to go to the giant teams of Italy, Germany, Spain and perhaps France. If you come to the English league, you earn every medal, and still might not get what you deserve. A lot of players aren't brave enough for that.
at 33 mins, Brainfreez Sterling did that a couple of times, just stopped play, slowed it down - BUT Havertz had a few of those as he often does. I really, really, really, don't want to dump on Havertz at this point in time, but as much as I squint, that guy just isn't good at football when the ball is at his feet. I would love for him as any Arsenal player to reach imaginable heights, but he either passes back or bundles his feet or just freezes. Either, he is simply not a good footballer (yeah, give me all the statistics, but then follow it with you eye-test) or the premiership doesn't suit him.
Hey Chaps! 😃 Villa have not been convincing, look at their last 10 matches, nothing to shout about. We should be beating them 3-0, 4-0, something like that. For the line-up I'd go with Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Jorginho, Merino, Havertz, Sterling, Trossard, Martinelli. Notes: Lewis-Skelly - deserves to start for being outstanding against Spuds Jorginho - needs minutes and can keep the game in our control and do good through balls, save Partey for CL Merino - Rice gets a rest ahead of CL, he looked shattered, can't afford to break him Havertz - good playing behind a striker like Trossard Trossard - he's been so good as a 9, he's better in front of goal than Havertz, so now he's got a great goal under his belt give him another go as a 9
Sesko did not join in the summer because he was told kai was No.1 striker. 29 is the worst signing ever. He cost way too much, gets paid way too much and has upset the whole structure of the side. A terrible signing and a poor decision again from Mikel.
Sesko isnt top level, look at his goal record, its not all that great, hes young so could improve but theres no garuntee, Gyokeres record speaks for itself but plays in a weak league.
Kieran Tierney is a better crosser of the ball than any of the current Arsenal left sided attackers. Given how insipid we've been down the left hand side I wouldn't be unhappy if they gave Tierney a go.
His cross to Oedegaard to set up that wide open chance was excellent. Can’t believe Oedegaard missed that.

I think the best cheap short term striker signing on the market is Johnathon David. Not perfect but he is in his prime and getting good numbers and has 6 months left on contract.
he was a target for us at one time too...
Charles please share your thoughts on Ademola Lookmam
Most important position for this one will be Rice returning to 6. Roger’s rinsed Partey a lot in the reverse fixture. Got out of there with a win but can’t forget how much Partey struggles when we’re on the back foot. Rice, Merino, Odegaard for me.
Are you sure you want Merino to start?
@ yes. He gets too much hate. Have to back him. Defensively Rice and Merino is better than Partey in the midfield
You lost me after the last
" & " in your comment.
@@Nostradanus86 Partey is an lssue defensively. Morgan rogers had the better of him last game, and we’re not as strong now. Partey is not the best defensive option at the club for 6. Any word otherwise is fraudulent ball knowledge. People don’t get merino. He isn’t pulling up trees but id trust him as the left 8 more than Partey at 6 against Villa.
@DeejUSM ha. The lacking ball knowledge phrases... amateur hour...
Look rookie , Partey is no 8 not a 2.. he's a 6. Just incase your a stats guy.
In the league this season.

KT is a top left back, but mikel thinks he's not good enough to be on his team.
who is better in your opinion: Sesko or Gyukeres?
Hard to say , epl wise , Messi wasn't brave enough for that move.
I have seen sesko highlights he dribbles so much sometimes,if he come to arsenal he must know his work is to score only not dribbling we have enough dribblers so far something that is costing arsenal so much they dribble and forget that they need to shoot ,place the ball or look where the gkeeper is standing and doing what makes the fans happy.Generrally the squad must be improved where necessary ...players need to rest too.
What if Mikel is looking to play 4-4-2 next season with Zubi and Dec in the double pivot and Havertz and Sesko/Isak upfront, with Havertz dropping deep.
Is Ansu Fati a chance? I heard he was unhappy at Barca and wanted to leave this month.
HIGH WATTAGE ⚡⚡⚡
This really needs to be the name of the show!
Was there ever team so poor in front of the goal and still 2nd?
We've scored the 2nd highest amount goals and lo and behold we're 2nd, the table doesn't lie.
@@SirAntoniousBlock The table hasn't lied since 2004...
The 150 mill for Isaak I think would be better spent on Joa Pedro off Brighton and Bryan Mbeumo off Brentford I think it's going to take that type of money to get any forward out in Jan
We haven’t got that kind of money available!!!
@ricvin2986 if we don't, then we aren't getting anyone... Joshy Kronk needs to break out Daddies checkbook
@@scottkeating3625 FFP FFS!! 🤦♂️
@ricvin2986 We didn't breach. Everyone is saying we are in a good place with PSR . If Chelsea can spend a bill in two seasons and not breach, then surely we can open up the purse strings. Plus, it's the last piece we need in our team after that we don't need anything else. I'd rather we pushed the summer business to now and got no one in the summer
@@ricvin2986The question is, does he (Isak) worth that amount £150m
Im not listening to no transfer gossip until i hear a bid has been accepted.. all these rumours are similar to Fernando Torres, Yann Mvila, Julian Draxler.. linked with everyone but sign nothing.
Its ok, we're in talks with Gonzalo Higuain
Benzema next
But getting Sesko now rules out Isak in the summer! Sesko is a rough diamond and needs work where as Isak is the real deal and the finished article and still can improve. Why do we automatoclally think we cant get Isak? If we dont get him then Chelsea will!
I thought he had a buyout clause
Honestly don’t know why Jonathan David isn’t in the conversation.
Has been Top scorer in Ligue 1 consistently for years
If we let both Partey and Jorgi go in the summer, wouldn't that mean we would need to sign two midfielders?
Id like another but Not really , tomi, zinny, kiv, partey, jorg, so probs another versatile CB. 2nd gk, skelly will take one spot, as zubi, we'll get an attacking midfielder, tho think thats nwaneri, be nice to have another mid tho. Most important are the wings and up top. Depth n focal point. Have plenty of spaces to fill by next season so lot of work to do just hope they expand the squad. Up the arsenal
It has been reported many times in Spain that gyokeres is going to be Lewandowski replacement at Barca, apparently he has already agreed the deal, so I feel that's the reason why there isn't huge links to him from any other clubs. I think people need to forget it.
How will they afford him?
@@BeforeThisNovemberby selling De Jong
@ to who?
@@BeforeThisNovember Bayern
@BeforeThisNovember Harry Kane was €95m , Hernandez was €80m.. DeLigt €67m. Even Olise was €53m.
Doesn't the kolo move to juve mean we might get vlahovic
He's available for a move
Not necessarily with it only being a loan
@@ochiramoses7821 they need to make it happen
With a decent striker the game would have been over by half time,Arsenal left side needs new blood,badly.Gabriel should be captain,he's been player of season ,so far.
Transfer window closes Monday Feb 3rd( 11pm)
why has Sesko only played 1200 minutes? Injuries?
Spurs were VERY spursy 🤣🤣 They didn't turn up in the first half, we were on for 90% possession before they woke up 🤣🤣 Son ALWAYS seems to score against us, very poor to leave him unmarked from the corner. But great performances from us, with everyone giving the 150% they should in a NLD.
Semenyo! Always rated him even before the screamer he scored this week
Disappointed graham… seems like a confidence problem from board level to striker position at arsenal right now
viktor gyökeres is the man not this German. viktor gyökeres stats speak for themselves 3 years in a row. Amazingly high! Plus he's been smashing it in the champions League. Plus he's got to be better than Kai.
In agreement here, Sesko has had one good complete season. That's not top level money for me. Up till Christmas, Kai has more goals than him even.
If we had "will get" numbers for both players, and Gyokeres was £100M as a finished product, Sesko should be £60M by comparison. If he goes on a nice run, maybe split the difference in the summer.
Edit: That said, Sesko is doing it in a proper league...
Sesko isn’t German …
They are both about the same to be honest. sesko would score more if he was in Portuguese league and played the minutes gyok plays. Sesko higher ceiling since he is 21. Viktor is 26 yet there is hardly much btw them. Vicktor should have done better when he played us. Same for sesko should have done better but he was 20 and improved already since then.
@@theach84 XBox or Playstation?
My loved people sesko is good but victor is the good sticker according to he's possiblity and the momentum he's having in the pitch
I dont think Gyokores is available and I am 100% the Newcastle arent selling Isak, so Sesko isnt a plan B, hes the best available target.
Liverpool aren't winning convincingly enough to win the title, I think they will drop plenty of points and give us the opportunity to catch them up.
I've been saying it for a long time, we're winning the league on GD
Why not J David - he’s perfect and can play across the front 3
Great shows guys. On the issue of Arsenal not shooting nearly enough, I don't think it's a "player" issue, I think it's a coaching instruction. Rice, Partey, Martinelli, Troussard are all players who have very good ball striking whether close or long range.
You think ? So you don’t know then !
We should have been in for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Another potential upgrade missed out on.....
He is the type of player Arteta would love to have, and would be an immediate upgrade. Looks as though money is swaying him, as going from Serie A to Ligue 1 is a step down and shows a lack of ambition.
Buy Sesko and try to get a loan for RM's Gular
Any striker that is world class or is a blue chip prospect no in between
So much admiration...we were going down the same route as we have been ...so close to dropped points against a poor spurs side..I get there's being happy with the result, but don't push it to far
For two football people who claim to be supporters of this club saying Vlahovic is a waste of time is just beyond ridiculous! They mentioned we got 14 players available and got a game every 3 days yet a proven goal scorer in Vlahovic is a waste of time I can’t believe what I’m hearing
Vlahovic is useless
You are crazy to thank Saka will be back. He shouldn’t even be a consideration. If you rush him back he will get injured again
Arsenal had the chance to sign Isak when Newcastle went and got him, I always wondered about that. I know we had Jesus but he has never been proficient as a 9 even at Man City. Sometimes Arteta is so Wenger
Hey Charles, the only annoying thing if we get Sesko in Jan, is that surely we could have gotten him last summer and have missed him for half a season (which could result in narrowly missing out on trophies).
How do you work that out when he signed a new contract & said he will by staying in Germany ?
@@trevor3286 Because we were told he didn't come in summer because he wanted to stay for the development. If he now comes in Jan then that was a lie, it just means arsenal didn't make a good enough offer.
Charles I think Sesko is simply click bait, the oracle Ornstein believes this deal isn’t doable this month !
Don't be carried away by that victory arsenal was very poor, Tottenham were extremely poor, like united too arsenal needs to sort themselves out ASAP if they want to get anything out of this season, go sign top attacker like viktor gyökeres not sesko he can't help.
Sesko has everything Arsenal need, enough of the over thinking Footballers, Sesko is a Hitman, Arsenal have enough ballers, and Arteta letting City get a clear Run at Marmoush tells you everything about that Man, he thinks he is Smarter than he actually is, Marmoush can Run, Dribble, Shoot, Take Free Kicks and play all left, Right and Centre but Arteta is wasting Time on Nico Williams who he Can't get now, just an over inflated Ego
It doesn’t make sense to me that in one breath Isak is injury prone & then other he could revolutionise Arsenal?
Make you mind people.
You don’t think he would play all the games for Newcastle to the end of the season, then why would you want that for Arsenal?
Hi 👋 guys 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. I am happy 😀 Arsenal got the win thank God. North London is red..COYG to win the next match God willing. Have a good day guys 😂. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😀.
Sterling bottled it.
During wenger time, while we where fighting for top 4, we used to sign top players like Aubameyang, now at this stage, with better economic situation and fighting for the title. We must sign 1 0r 2 offensive players.
Because everyone is trying to get offensive players.
And I don't think we want to pay over the odds on their wages.
It's hard to get excited about zubimendi, didn't we buy rice for that position. We now have a scrillion left backs, next up a scrillion dm's? Can we take a look at the upper line of players please?
Please tell me what Strikers would refuse a move to Arsenal
@@cenky3 any that believe they can do better then us
Any top quality players who want guaranteed medals, they'll always try to go to the giant teams of Italy, Germany, Spain and perhaps France.
If you come to the English league, you earn every medal, and still might not get what you deserve. A lot of players aren't brave enough for that.
Why so many lies
at 33 mins, Brainfreez Sterling did that a couple of times, just stopped play, slowed it down - BUT Havertz had a few of those as he often does. I really, really, really, don't want to dump on Havertz at this point in time, but as much as I squint, that guy just isn't good at football when the ball is at his feet. I would love for him as any Arsenal player to reach imaginable heights, but he either passes back or bundles his feet or just freezes.
Either, he is simply not a good footballer (yeah, give me all the statistics, but then follow it with you eye-test) or the premiership doesn't suit him.
Hey Chaps! 😃
Villa have not been convincing, look at their last 10 matches, nothing to shout about. We should be beating them 3-0, 4-0, something like that.
For the line-up I'd go with Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Jorginho, Merino, Havertz, Sterling, Trossard, Martinelli.
Notes:
Lewis-Skelly - deserves to start for being outstanding against Spuds
Jorginho - needs minutes and can keep the game in our control and do good through balls, save Partey for CL
Merino - Rice gets a rest ahead of CL, he looked shattered, can't afford to break him
Havertz - good playing behind a striker like Trossard
Trossard - he's been so good as a 9, he's better in front of goal than Havertz, so now he's got a great goal under his belt give him another go as a 9
Jesus contract ends 2027 on over 1million a month
The spuds were scared. fans and players 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sesko did not join in the summer because he was told kai was No.1 striker.
29 is the worst signing ever.
He cost way too much, gets paid way too much and has upset the whole structure of the side.
A terrible signing and a poor decision again from Mikel.
Sesko isnt top level, look at his goal record, its not all that great, hes young so could improve but theres no garuntee, Gyokeres record speaks for itself but plays in a weak league.
Vivitch said no to edu and arsenal so can go away
These guys are funny. Just pay 10 million more to get sesko 😂 that money has to be borrowed . Guys have no idea how football finances work
As a fan it's not your concern how football finances work, it's your concern about how the team is performing.
Do elaborate so
I believe we are signing a stiker because we are already cooked with or without Havertz
Northlondon derby didn’t do much to cheer you up then? 😂
Wow
@lewisreynolds5283 What is wrong in wanting a striker when the attack line is stripped to bones. Winning the NLD has nothing to do with it.
Had to stop watching because of the background noise. Amateur hour.
Arsenal choosing Sesko over Gyokeres is Diabolical super lack of ambition
One of the worse episode takes by James. Quite arrogant and deluded. Choose some better to do these episodes please, Charles.
Not a chance .. JB is a good listen.
