Matt Turner, the back up GK from MLS might be the only signing when the transfer window closes.
Now that most deals have fallen through.
Would have been an earful to hear what Stan/KSE and Arteta discussed at or before-after that hockey game.

At least you would have some options |

I am absolutely stunned that Guimares is happy to go to Newcastle. I thought he would laugh them out of town despite the prospect of big wages. I thought he would want a higher profile club in a better league position but it seems money does talk and maybe an indication that they will be able to attract top class players after all. We should be all over Guimares at the money quoted but looks like we are not biting. Desperately need a midfielder and striker. |

Sadly I don’t think they will as I expect it to be Watford, Burnley and Norwich. |

If we exit the window without bringing anyone in what will it mean for us ? I suppose we will have players back soon so we won’t be down to the bare bones still. Probably we will be poorly equipped for a top 4 finish but top 6 sure and with several players leaving the wage bill this summer we can rebuild further. This season to me feels to me as usual Christmas has totally derailed us. I guess it’s the usual pragmatic approach is required with Arsenal When those players like Lacazette, el nenny and possibly Aubameyang leave the club this summer wengers shadow over the club will have gone and my feeling will be the club can then be judged entirely from its new position. |

A few striker names picked up from those arsenal fans online who take scouting and stats seriously….Scamacca from Sassulo and Cabral from Basel, Fiorentina have bid £14m for the later as their Vlahovic replacement Scamacca is 6ft 5, looks like he’s part of a drugs cartel but has some decent skills and pace for a man of that size. |

By all accounts Pépé had a very good AFCON tournament. Ivory Coast were KO by Egypt on pens tonight. Would be great for Pépé to have a strong end to the season for us. With our lack of strikers we might end up in a 4-6-0 formation. Guardiola style |

Irrespective of signings one of the most important thing for us is getting Partey and Xhaka playing every game together. They’ve only started 7 games together this season, won 5 of them and scored 20 goals. |

Reports about Victor Osimhen although I doubt Napoli would want to let him go at this stage of the season given they're in the hunt for the title. Seems to have a lots of good attributes and would fit into Arteta's style of play but would also likely cost around €70m+ https://totalfootballanalysis.com/playe ... is-tactics |

I'm curious how French clubs seem to keep getting the cream of the crop when it comes to young talent before turning them into the next big thing and offloading for huge fees. Is it simply a matter of being able to make them seem like world beaters in a weaker league which is much harder than for young potential in the PL? |

Bit hard to fire laser accurate forward passes when there's no-one to pass it to. I know the hard arses from back in the day would have tried it but I personally wouldn't want to try hitting a bull in the arse from three passes with a handful of wheat. and for those who may be mystified by the recurrence of some good Aussie slang, here's a guide to a few sayings... a few of which I will see if I can slot into my next boring meeting. https://www.theland.com.au/story/512202 ... sie-slang/ |

Few rumours linking us to Douglas Luiz from Villa. He only has 18 months left on his contract. He’s clearly not as glamorous as other names we’ve been linked with but after the summer when nearly all the players we bought were less glamorous than other names maybe we need to trust the club if it happens |

The guy Edu should be signing is this 15 year old Brazilian kid Endrick. Touted to be the next big thing. Sadly, it looks like Madrid are at the front of the queue. Why is Edu not snapping up young brazilian and south american talent. I thought his experience and contacts in Brazil was going to give up the edge in this market. |

Would be a big step up moving to Arsenal, but he is proven in the league and probably wouldn't need much time to adapt. |

To be honest I can’t really dig the guy out about anything. Apparently he wanted to sign Neto and Emerson but arteta wanted Ramsdale and Tommy. Can’t argue with that Decision. I think the inclusion of white and Ramsdale has added focus and determination to the side. I think it helps that there’s now quite a few British based players in the squad so it means there’s more of a cost to losing. If he wanted to sign that Brazilian fella from Lyon though I wouldn’t complain. |

I don’t think many Brazilian or other Sth American youth would dream of playing for Arsenal. Very similar culture in Spain would also make the transition for a young player much much easier. Martinelli I think is a bit of an exception. |

He was substitute in my Drought Years team: "At one time there were lots of Mc’s at Arsenal and one of my favourites was Billy McCullough from Woodburn, Northern Ireland. He was the sort of attacking left-back fans love, often seen way beyond the halfway line looking for something he rarely found. It made for great adventure. Billy was not the best defender Arsenal ever had but he was fun. How we enjoyed the aggression in him too. ‘He won’t eat you’ was a commonplace phrase of my youth. In Billy’s case a winger could not be sure of the truth of the statement. The McCullough was a man of strength. His crooked nose was indisputable evidence of how he was willing to put himself in harm’s way. Acres of power lay within his robust body, and it may not be myth that the north wind was tattooed on his chest."
