Erikse Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) It seems like Howe likes to play a more defensive minded left back, given that Trippier is attacking from the other side. Cucurella would fit that profile. But as others pointed out I can't really see it with those wages. It's funny if it's true that Chelsea didn't want to sell to us because they saw us as a "top 4 rival" in january, and then they finished 12th.

Aye, because he was on the bench and came on because of Timbers injury as their defensive options were limited. Had Tierney been on the bench, undoubtedly he would’ve come on instead.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Sounds like Timber might be out for a while. And didn't know Zinchenko was injured and had missed pre season, so sounds like Tierney will likely be staying. Arsenal supporting mate reckons Kiwior and potentially Tomiyasu would start LB ahead of Tierney, though. Which is weird. Edit: This has all already been discussed.

Tsunami Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Is it only me that thinks Cucurella is pretty poor defensively and flatters to deceive going forward? He also seems to get caught out of position far too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Yeah, yeah ffp and all that jazz but considering we spent 35m on a back up Rb, I do hope we go all-in on a worldie left-back. Edited August 14, 2023 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I'm not a "if he's linked, it's not happening" person as it's not true, but the fact Edwards and Downie are first to run with this makes me think it's a non-starter (see Barella).

AJ9 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Would really like Tierney here. But definitely not for an obligation to buy. Cucurella I remember standing out in that Brighton side. Could add another dimension from an attacking sense but he’s been truly an abomination at Chelsea. Still think there’s a player there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) The conspiracy theorist in me wants to believe that Arsenal will see benefit in loaning Tierney to Newcastle as it would improve us and hurt the chance of Chelsea or Liverpool getting Champions League football next year. Arsenal know the damage that missing out on the CL for consecutive seasons can do to a club…. Well, we can dream can’t we?

Nucasol Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Will be piss funny if Chelsea get knocked out in both cups early so you’ve got 32 players vying to play in only 40 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
