Lenny Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Would be great to see someone of PEA's stature come in, however I would seriously question his desire too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 4 hours ago, Dr Jinx said: Wilson out for a month or more. There’s no way they sign a forward who won’t be available until mid February or whenever. Survival might be out of reach by that point. We’re within clawing distance of the others above us, we need wins and need them straight away. I agree with this but feel maybe we should be looking for someone in loan with view to but if we stay up and send Gayle it on loan for ready of season. If we stay up then sell Gayle but keep him if we go down a Wilson and Gayle is a brilliant set of strikers for championship imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And availability with afcon now, with Watford getting beat last night and then being it next game on 21st then we seriously need to beat them so get somebody in for then.

Be positive man It could work out that way, however his form and general lack of interest currently at Arsenal should undoubtedly be a consideration point. We absolutely cannot have anyone coming in and giving less than everything. At his age, with his accomplishments, money etc. would he really fancy that? Also, as Gawalls mentions above regarding AFCON; if he's off there then I'd rule him out tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guybrush Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 There's no doubt PEA is absolutely class, but we need more than just ability to have a chance of staying up. We need players with ability, AND mental strength AND something to prove AND if possible, experience. It's a massively tall order and there's probably only a handful of players that have that profile. We need to find them, pay over the odds to get them, and keep our fingers crossed we don't get relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly agree , however with recent events I disagree now it’s a massively tall order to stay up, we are halfway through the season , I like many others thought we’d be cut away and gone but we absolutely aren’t , string 2 wins together and the whole thing changes .The results have all gone for us , some 10 results or so have ALL gone our way giving us a good sniff to get out of this . The rest is down to NUFC now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpinho Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Has it been reported anywhere what PEA actually did to piss arteta off so much? Saw about the late back to training thing, but not much else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is down to NUFC now That's a fair point. With our bad start and our bad luck, I lean more towards us going down (but my expectations have been battered for the last 10+ years ) I hope we do get a couple of wins and build some momentum.

Dokko Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The perfect player is very rarely found and isn't coming to us in our situation. ASM & HBA were tagged the same, would you rather they never come here? PEA is a top class footballer. The only concern is AFCON. If we could persuade him not to go then i'd be all over it. If not then its not worth it. I wouldn't sign any African players now especially but in the future due to the competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) ASM and Hatem hadn't just received a £400k a week contract and weren't 32. I understand people are excited with the names being linked but imagine your captain being frozen out by your club and not being let to train, what kind of example would that set really? Auba isn't the same player he was a year or 2 ago. There's far better choices in the transfer market. We don't necessarily have to pick the easiest one every time now.

LRD Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 A PEA loan would probably be more acceptable but we will still be left without a striker for the one month plus that Wilson is out for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
