Of course he improved them man, come on. 

He hasn't though, they were a much better team without him. Arsenal a couple seasons ago looked generally brilliant.

 

I'm not saying that's his fault, but it's a consequence of what they did in the market and that includes buying Rice for £100m.

 

Bruno and Tonali are not worth that either, it's only a handful of clubs who can afford to pay it, a team like Villa would be insane to spend that on either of them for example.

Just seen this. :lol: 

 

Arteta copping load of flak for signing too many defensive players and not strengthening the attack... another £50m DM will do the trick. :lol: 


I wonder if they might try and upgrade their wings and buy a striker at a lower rate e.g Gyokores or Watkins/Vlahovic while having a bit of a clear out. An Isak purchase basically ruins them PSR wise and means that’s probably all they can improve position wise.

I'm explaining myself poorly here and it reads harsher on Rice than it needs to be. Rice is a great player, it's his price and their spendin in general that's the issue. They seem to have fucked their squad up during a time they could have spent wisely and kicked on.

The best striker for Arsenal at the minute would unironically be Chris Wood.

 

If his name was Kristiano Treeze they’d be all over him.

Probably Arsenal fans/Merson mostly. Gotta get him in that shop window.

I think Tonali will be a better player too. Bruno's a different kind of midfielder, has some obvious weaknesses, and isn't as 'complete', but Tonali can pretty much be directly compared. If offered now I wouldn't swap either for him.

 

Agree. I rate Rice, but wouldn't swap him for Tonali. There's talk that with Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton we have the best midfield in the PL, and that's coming from outsiders not Newcastle fans. I think it's a stretch to include Joelinton as an elite midfielder, but combined with the other two, it must be pretty formidable to come up against.

I see Joelinton as a horses for courses player. In games where we face a low block, we should be replacing him with someone with more technical ability.

Agree, but not sure if we have someone in the squad who is capable. Willock would have been the obvious choice, but he's a bit loose with possession to be described as an upgrade technically.

Miley is the closest right now.

He wouldn't be able to pull wide left like Joelinton does. Miley strikes me as more of a Bruno replacement.
