What is it with Arsenal and being terrified of strikers? 

 

The old 'Arsenal try to walk it in' meme has been around since the 90s. 

Arsenal splashed out sixty-odd million and a crazy two hundred grand a week for Havertz to play striker, right? They also got Jesus the summer before for forty-odd million.

 

That's over a hundred million on strikers in two summers! So it's bogus to say they haven't bought a striker. They did, but whether they're any good is besides the point. The money was spent.

Highly doubt they have room in that position for an elite signing their fans are clamouring for unless they offload one of Jesus or Kai.

Think arteta loves the false 9 shit.  Honestly think it doesn't work as well as an out and out striker. Pep agreed and brought in Haaland.

Neither Arsenal and Man City play a way where they need out and out strikers though. Haaland scores goals, but can't help but feel despite the goals his net contribution to the team is negative with his average 3.5 touches of the ball every game.

City were a better side without him imo.

Man U supposedly confident in getting Delap 

 

 

Someone I'd like here, as well as Cunha (not saying they'd both be the best use of our potential budget mind). So hope they don't win Europa in case it makes a difference to their targets

He'd start for both clubs, I'd imagine 

Probably, but if he's still developing as a player, and those two clubs will want/need for him to be the finished product right away because they're floundering.

 

A smarter move would be decent mid-table club, and use the advantage of his low price from the release clause to get another achievable release clause at his next club. If possible of course.

Surely we should be in on this. Napoli are a good side but still.

No harm in asking right? He'll say no but at least we tried. To have any chance we'd have to lie by telling him we're looking to play 2 upfront next season.

Perhaps, but ManU/Chelsea will offer him a lot more money than a mid-table side.

I agree completely. Chelsea I can half understand, but Man Utd, definitely not, they're done.

Absolutely, but, if he could wangle a decent release clause, then the money would come as long as he backs himself to succeed.

 

If he signs to Man Utd on big money, he's stuck there for a long time, potentially not playing or achieving much.

I also don't think it's a great move from Chelsea and Man Utd. They've both got young centre forwards that need to develop. They need a main man. Maybe it's unrealistic, but if Man Utd get Champions League, I think I'm right in saying Osimhen is a Man Utd supporter. Surely that's the sort of move they need to be making.

Five finals in five seasons. :lol: One match away from a European trophy and CL football.

 

"Done."

Agreed, but Osimhen will be far too expensive IMO. I think he's asking for obscene wages, and we won't do that anymore.
