Yup but buying right wingers .... despite their best forwards (Saka) being a right winger !
Jesus was Brazil centre forward in about 2018 but decided he preferred playing as a right winger since then - same change at Man City.
So might not be a great plan to push him back into centre if they don't have a back up striker (which they don't). Risk is they end up with their 3 best forwards all being right wingers - Saka, Jesus and if they sign Raphael that's his position too.
Be funny if that's what they end up doing of course !
Great suggestion, Newcastle seem to be chasing him but he is not interested. Has France/Mali dual citizenship, maybe Bissouma can have a word.
The fact that we seem to be looking at Richarlison and Raphinha does give me some confidence that we appear to be moving away from the "back up" signing, and more looking at players to actually compete with our current front 3.
I've got nothing but love for Son, Kane, and Deki, but a big reason why they're undroppable is because we've got nobody to bring on instead.
Not to say we're currently in the same league as City or Pool but both clubs do show that you can have multiple extremely talented players fighting over the same position. Without attempting to do that we'll always struggle to consistently finish top 4 while also aiming for silverware.
Looks underwhelming to me. Dribbles into 3 guys loses ball. Lucas.
Not suprised......... Evidently passes the bell-end audition:
Yeah, definitely has potential to be a star player. Not too many who move so quick and have such good technique in shooting and the final pass. €55-60m is risky on a young lad with only the one very productive season in Bundesliga though.
I don’t get what they are trying to do?
Raphinha plays RW the same position as their best player. Jesus best position is possibly RW too and not an out an out goal scorer, although a good player imo. I don’t know much about vieria tbh but from what I’ve read he seems like a no 10 lightweight passer type, which they already have smith Rowe and odegaard
Saka is very good LW, Raphina too. Jesus is very good at most things a centre forward is required to do, he's just iffy at finishing. They're signing good players to be fair, and are targeting an excellent player in L. Martinez, and apparently another midfielder on top of that. They're heading in a pretty good direction, PL teams have no excuse not to really, given the financial advantage it has over other leagues.
Yeah if they get Jesus & Raphinha then they've got some serious firepower with plenty of creators behind them. Can't really comment on some of the players they've been linked to/signed as I haven't seem them play, but they're highly rated players by all accounts.
If the roles were reversed most on here would be excited. Saliba seems to be coming back off a good season too & made the French NT.
Our 3 signings so far are also excellent & Conte is miles clear of Arteta so they don't particularly worry me, but if they get all their targets they should be well in for top four.
Come on you don’t even believe that. Jesus is absolute garbage. He was a backup striker at a team with no striker while scoring 8 goals in the most creative team in the league. Saka is extremely overrated. Martinez is like 5’6”. You just make yourself look silly trying to be “unbias”
Haha. Jesus has averaged 30 apps per season for a team who's won the league title in four of the last five seasons. He's played LW, RW and striker, 86 goal contributions in 160 or so PL games. You're an idiot if you think he's absolutely garbage.
Saka is very good. Martinez is around 5'10 and an excellent player, I'd be delighted if we signed him for lcb.
I’ve got to disagree I think they are spending their budget on good players in the positions their squad doesn’t need. They could end up playing their best players out their best positions while having glaring issues in a number of of other positions

At who's expense? ....Us? .....Chavs?
This assumes that a) those around them will stand still at last year's level and b) all their new guys are a hit.
(Not to mention their back-half are dubiously reliant upon the biscuit-based duo of Partey & Tierney.... It's classic Arse..... Recruitment purely focused on the sexy end of the pitch.)
......We improve simply on the basis that we gave them a head start last season with the Nuno phase. Then imagine us having a full 21/22 with Kulu & Bentancur. + Both our new first XI signings improve us and we're not finished yet.
Hope we get the Spence deal wrapped up asap and move on
Well if as intimated Danny boy is doing this one, I suspect , he is focusing on what gift card to attach , all the while the shop is selling out of wrapping paper , sellotape and ribbons. Seen this movie before , but ultimately I think this one probably gets done
Such a typical gooner player.
WTF? We signed Perisic
He thinks he’s a right wing back
