WilmslowFox Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 So according to latest news reports (reliability far from guaranteed) half of Arsenal's players actively want to leave the club (including Lacazette and Aubameyang). https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-news-mikel-arteta-manager-aubameyang-transfer-latest-a9253511.html I suspect I know the answer, but is there anyone you would take from the current Arsenal squad, if you could get them at a discount in the January Sales?
Finnegan Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Nope. The only two that get in our 11 on footballing grounds are Laca and Auba and that's only as an RF and LF respectively, neither displace Vardy up front. That, for me, means playing Lacazette out of his natural position. Both realistically probably think they're too big for Leicester and would price themselves out of a move regardless, in the case of Auba I'm not convinced I'd want him here anyway. He's a bit of an odd fish, I'm fine with a player speaking up for themselves and being willing to express themselves without being overly concerned about the politics of the sport and always having to be polite. But he comes across as a right diva, to be honest, he's had spats with numerous people over social media that have just painted him as petulant and difficult to work with. One of the best things about our squad has always been the character of it and I don't know how thrilled I'd be with him in there.

Saying that though you can't deny Auba or Lacazette's talents. No way Arsenal would let them go anyway unless it was for a crazy amount. They are the only reason they're not fighting in the relegation zone.
Babylon Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Hang on I thought it was a given someone like Rodgers should leave a great setup to go there, because you know, they have loads of fans in Asian and Africa.
StanSP Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Martinelli seems like a very good player. Sounds mad but I'd only take Aubameyang if we were going to lose Vardy. I don't think they'd be a good partnership together so you'd just have 1 ending up on the bench; having said that it's a good alternative to Vardy! Went to see (how shit) their squad is on Wikipedia. Then noticed this
st albans fox Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 apart from the English youngsters, guendouzi is well worth a punt and martinelli as others have already said. players may be peed off at the moment but arteta will get them onside pretty quickly. those he wants rid of - we defo wouldn't want them
Jonezy Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Wow. These are unreal times. I am looking at the Arsenal squad and there is not a single player I would want.
Xen Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 I'd take Saliba, purely because he hasn't played for them yet.

Aubameyang surely. Good player and his goalscoring record is unreal, especially when you consider he doesn't play as the main forward.
KFS Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 1 hour ago, Xen said: I'd take Saliba, purely because he hasn't played for them yet. And the fact they’re claiming his greatness without even seeing him play. Don’t you love it.
Clever Fox Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Aubameyang would certainly improve our squad. He seems a hard working and dedicated type of player. Unlike many of the others in their Squad. I suspect the price would be too high though.
Leicesterpool Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 With the talk about Arteta going in there they actually think there going to be able lure high profile players in and more to point actually going to be given a decent budget buy players. January may to out to be frustating window for them, I mean top 4 is very unlikely a lot of high quality players will want more than midtable finish. I reckon the only reason they went for Arteta was because they wanted somebody to go in and improve the youth setup and look to improve gap between youth going in to the first team. I think there trying to copy Chelsea and seen what they have done since bringing Lampard. While if they had gone for Ancelotti he would have demanded a huge transfer kitty.
Tielemans63 Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Granit Xhaka. Superb midfielder and would be a great captain for us.

MC Prussian Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 I have to agree to a certain extent, when you look at Arsenal's regular starting eleven, I'd have a hard time choosing a player instantly that would fit in here. Main issue is mentality and attitude. Neither Aubameyang or Lacazette would come here on their own free will - and we wouldn't want them to upset our own apple cart. Pépé has just moved to London, so no chance there. Martinelli? I like the kid, but we already have youngsters aplenty on the wings. Their midfield is pretty rank. Torreira maybe, but then again, we already have Ndidi and Choudhury. Back four - a mixed bag. There's a part of me that likes Mustafi, but how would he be an improvement over Evans/Söyüncü? Sokratis is better than him. David Luiz always out of position, Chambers usually out of his depth. Tierney's had a terrible time adapting to the Premier League. Kolasinac... Hmmm. There's one. Bernd Leno another one, yeah. But at present, I don't see Schmeichel hanging up his boots anytime soon.
Lambert09 Posted 20 December 2019 Posted 20 December 2019 Do they still have Mahrez? How did he get on after his move their 👀👀
Stadt Posted 20 December 2019 Posted 20 December 2019 Martinelli leaves Arsenal for Barca or Real, not us haha.
lgfualol Posted 20 December 2019 Posted 20 December 2019 Wouldn't want any of them. Loser club with loser players.
mozartfox Posted 20 December 2019 Posted 20 December 2019 I would take Ozil to improve our marketing opportunities in China
