April 21, 20251 yr 7 minutes ago, Sexyfootball said:The red flag is surely that United, with his previous manager floundering and devoid of any decent options up front, aren't seemingly in for him ... so why is Amorim not all over this transfer ??Probably because the player is in his peak and wants to go to a club that can realistically challenge for the league/champions league.

Make him play week in week out against a far higher quality of defending and i fear he will flop. Can easily see him being the next Jackson. I'd rather we looked elsewhere.

People like to mention Nunez but Gyorkeres literally dwarfs Nunez’s numbers. He’ll honestly be the difference in Arsenal winning the league next season.

If we had good squad options and his fee wasn't inflated I'd be less concerned but whoever we buy needs to deliver as the alternatives are sh*te. It's a big transfer fee gamble and f**k me have we blown some crazy money these past few years.

April 23, 20251 yr Also I couldn't think of a Swedish Chelsea player other than Magnus Hedman, who never made an appearance for us. How can that be?We should have signed Zlatan all those years ago like @loz wanted.

April 23, 20251 yr It will be interesting to see how he does in the PL. He looks the real deal. I think he would complete Arsenal. Strangely, the one thing he needs to work on in his game is his heading ability. For such a big guy, he rarely scores headed goals and you think that is something he could work on. Haaland before he joined City was not great in the air too, however since moving to City, has improved this part of his game massively. I think if Arsenal want him, that will be his first choice tbh. No shame in admitting that.

May 10, 20251 yr I really hope we challenge Arsenal for this transfer. He takes us to the next level.
May 11, 20251 yr Absolutely no excuses now. We need someone competent upfront with a goal threat.Bring him in. Don't let him go to Arsenal unchallenged.
