Transfer Wishlist

Setting aside pens look at the sheer amount of shots he takes, he can score a banger but shot to shot he is not a good finisher

Seems better at shooting than all our lot tbf :sweat_smile:

I think as far as midfielders are concerned he’s a very good finisher.

Pirelt going off the eye test though watching him for club and country. Not sure if the stats say otherwise.

For me when you discount penalties it’s clear he isn’t

He’s taken a shit ton of shots (truly) since entering the league and the return without the pens is poor

He is capable of great goals but generally his finishing leaves much to be desired

Clear case of a stat footballer for me. He’s good obviously and I would take him as a false 9 as I said before (know you mentioned the finishing) but I don’t think he’s anywhere as near as elite as his numbers would suggest.

My dad is a manc and wants him gone, he appreciates the goals and assists he brings but doesn’t think he benefits the team overall. Personally I don’t think he massively suits any role other than SS which most teams don’t play these days, but I’d give him a try in our setup up top since that’s kind of similar at the moment.

They have plenty of players to shift before someone as productive as Bruno though.

Hojlund
Rashford
Shaw
Casemiro
Onana
Lindelof
Mount
Maybe Zirkzee

I think he should be one of the first to go personally if their priority is to cut down costs.

Should’ve done that the past summer before they renewed his deal. Bruno is too good(and expensive) to be part of this rebuild.
He’s wasting his last prime years there and they could’ve used whatever fee they could fetch for him and also get his wages off the bill.

I know United fans that are sick at the sight of him, he is an immensely frustrating player for them

An average finisher which is fine for a player like him

the left-8 position at Arsenal is basically a support striker at times

Yeah also true, but I want wirtz so Bruno would have to go up top :wink:

Ola Aina…thoughts?

An 8% conversion rate from over 500 shots is truly nasty stuff

As would him ever playing for us in any position IMO

As long as we’re talking about Wirtz with a ā€˜T’ then I’m with you on that one…he would be a transformational signing for us! :grinning:

Nah…

At 28 he aina pressing any buttons for me.

As a free agents, he does press buttons for me. He can be backup to Ben White and we don’t have to spend money on a left back.
But we have Tomiyasu who serves the same role. If Tomiyasu is not back to fitness, I would take Ola Aina as a free agent

Very good player, but we really do not need a new starting full back and he wouldn’t come here to sit on the bench.

Jonathan David on a free or Leroy Sane (less so) has piqued my interest though if it allows us to splash on an Isak, Leao or Wirtz.

Cherki x Ekitike

https://x.com/matolissob/status/1903205318156296700?s=46&t=eJpgg6uHWRsStnASv-OePg

If I didn’t know any better I’d think it was Scamacca.

Was this a highlights video for Hugo Ekitike or for Rayan Cherki?

Cherki is one to watch IMO and possibly one to add to the shortlist for the summer!
