The Prophet Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 You'd have though Ornstein would have been all over this if it was a goer. He has excellent contacts at Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Nketiah is a decent 3rd option behind Wilson and Wood imo. Would hope we could get a better CB than Burn in, but at least he will improve what we have. If we get Bruno in together with those two on top of Trippier and Wood I'd say it's been a very pleasant transfer window and that Howe has gotten the support he needs to keep us up.

sixx Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Dan Burn and Eddie Nketiah are very much Bournemouth type signings. Not very inspiring but will probably do a job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you could describe it as an underwhelming window, or you could equally describe it as quite a shrewd one. Hopefully enough to keep us up while keeping our powder dry for the summer.

Bada Bing Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Not sold on Nketiah but he's a different option compared to Wilson and Wood. He's out of contract so I think it would be a decent low-risk addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe does like an England under 21 prospect. Similar idea behind the Solanke move from what I recall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying I mean...Nketiah is more exciting and pleasing on the eye, but he is 22 and has 5 PL goals in his career while Wood as his senior has scored more than that in every season he's played, so that would be my assumption unless Nketiah has a break through moment.

et tu brute Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Just wait until Monday and see what happens. Edwards posted Lingard deal is dead and within 15 minutes a Times reporter contradicted this. He was also one of the last reporters to pick up with the report on the Bruno deal being complete yesterday.

KaKa Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Eddie can also play in the wide positions, which is always handy. And unlike our other wide players, he will make runs in behind from those positions. Useful , versatile young player with a decent amount of experience of the league to bring in. Solid move IMO.

Lush Vlad Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 After the names we have been linked with, Nketiah seems a bit ‘meh’. However, he would offer that in behind FRET. Arguably even more so than Wilson with his pace. Just won’t be as reliable with his finishing. It’s mainly been against lower league opposition. But his goals in the League Cup have often been down to good movement and anticipation. If we get him. Then file under shrewd signing, as opposed to a statement or massively exciting one. I think Wilson might be out for what? 7-8 weeks yet? All seemed a bit up in the air with his recovery and he can’t be relied upon to stay fit. I doubt he’ll just be ready to go and play 90 once or twice a week the minute he is back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Don't really rate Nketiah based on what I've seen and heard from my Arsenal-supporting mate who thinks he's total shit, but any backup striker is a bonus at this point and at least it would keep Wood on his toes whilst Wilson is out. Gives us an option from the bench too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
