Nah, the guy isn’t just showing the energy levels and the passion. The technical of the lad is unreal.
Luis Enrique was right to single him out last time and the lad showed up today again.
Ounahi has fantastic technical ability but he isn’t consistent. He’s been great the last two games but I thought he was hit and miss during the groups.
Surely Amrabat gets a move now? I reckon Fiorentina will want to cash in too. I’m waiting for him to score in this WC btw. Put a cheeky bet on him to do so today against Portugal, the odds were crazy.
Guess I’m in the minority who thinks that Rice has been good? England’s best cm last night.
Regarding our midfield, we need another option in there ASAP. Lokonga isn’t good enough.
In the summer, Bellingham is out of our reach now and appears to be set to join Liverpool. Wonder if we make a play for DeJong. Rabiot looks good in this tournament but is too slow. I really like Sangare from PSV but sure if he has elite potential. Danilo will do for now but he will need blooding on.
Depay and Felix both fit our system but both are too good to bench. Ivan Toney would have been perfect but he’s heading for a lengthy ban. He’s a different type of forward but it’s no secret who I’d like as our forward options.
January - Danilo 25m, Depay (loan) and Zaha 25m.
Summer outs: Soares, Holding, Lokonga, El Nenny, AMN, Pepe and Nelson. 35-40m
Felix and Mudryk the bare minimum if we hope to maintain the overall momentum for 2023.
Jesus injury is a hammer blow if we opt against buying a solution. Nketiah isn’t ready to play every minute of the remainder of the season. Whether it’s Felix, Vlahovic, Depay… we need a spear head for Arteta’s system to function properly.
Martinelli and Saka can’t carry the flag for the rest of the season either. They will run out of steam without some serious support especially with ESR out. Mudryk is exactly the type that can provide that.
Partey’s fitness and potential legal situation is always hanging by a thread also. It would be ideal to bolster the depth in the 6 position. Amrabat would be a dream the way he’s been playing.
The club have to decide whether they want to carry out the ambition of winning this league or just settle for a Champions League place. It will take a lot more money than they would have ideally liked but this is the best chance Arsenal could get for a long time. They’re in a great position to attract the right players now. Lets pray they manage to do it.
