‘A GOOD WINDOW!?’ Do Arsenal need to sign a back-up striker after Nketiah’s departure? | ESPN FC

edian ktia is on his way to Crystal Palace for 25 million rising to 30 million Jules does this mean that Arsenal's Reserve Center forwards are Gabrielle Jus and Gabrielle Martinelli Martinelli is not doing a day job of of playing down uh out in the wing no I mean you can playar as well as a as another Winger yeah yeah but as a different different option I guess but yeah I think the the ENA transfer pays for the Marino's arrival basically this is why it is they they would not have been able to get Marino without letting someone go unfortunately and and for Ana I think this is a player who went through the academy and as we know in terms of PSR is straight in your straight in your books St your accounts this is good there might be more uh leaving as well before the end of the season the end of the transfer window sorry and then that would be I think that would be a good window from an Arsenal point of view so unfortunately has to go and then for Crystal Palace is another option for glasner with Mata and with oton Juventus sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry Jo Jo Jo let me finish here because I'm gonna disagree with you on in Keta sorry I I know you're trying to shut me up no no no sorry I didn't hear you talking just kidding um I don't really I'm not convinced here just for one simple reason and you know like you I'm not a big edian ketya guy but he played a lot last season I think he started 10 10 League games just going for memory made a lot of appearances he ate up a lot of minutes often you know in second part of the season coming off the bench um I do wonder you know you've covered all your vases you've covered most positions I do wonder if if they maybe needed to do another move or maybe are still plotting some move even some sort of lowc cost move for the simple reason that Gabriel Jesus at Center forward I don't think satisfies anybody uh and he is he lot of injuries uh if you can move trossard there but then tards your backup um in several other positions you don't want to have a situation where a couple injuries to key men really derail your season and it happened at the back a few years ago when caliba got injured that is my big concern so I'm wondering if he might not have something up his sleeve in the final hours of the transfer window I alone something like that I don't know just speculating not a seaman not a seaman somebody else Juventus be Verona 3-0 away on Monday night gap for the second straight game they got a goal from a debutants yes it was um bangula uh who comes from their next gen team to the their bside essentially uh in week one and then it was this guy Savona uh on Monday night you know people who unless you follow the third division um you wouldn't be familiar with uh I I I I thought they played they played really well vavic looks well up for it um scored a great goal um they couldn't have imagined a better start to the season I think and uh it really builds the confidence in in Chago MOA sticking with ju the T coat miners deal is finally done they have new Wingers and nicoo Gonzalez and Francisco conal the youngsters are looking great Canan yielders has been playing well too and he's been starting Jo does M the shock therapy like I said working very nicely how good can they actually be this season no I think they could be really good I think they would challenge inter how far I'm not so sure but they certainly look like already the two best teams in in the country you top of the table of course perfect start like you said I think the the we maybe didn't expect them to be so good in the transer window which they finance by letting go some of their young Talent next gen talent but to have Douglas L signing CP miners signing um as you said Francis Cesar for 20 million EUR I think this is a great signing Nico Gonzalez too that's the Wingers that M wanted really good on One V one there's a bit of everything everywhere there even even defensively is good they when they lost Chesney and rabio who one left as a free agent the other one got his contract um I don't know how you say rescinded rescinded exactly but they covered them quite well really smart recruitment I think and tago Mota already looks where he belongs kind of thing on the bench like that so I'm I'm really excited to see how far you go this season and how well he gets them to play and we haven't even mentioned the Midfield I mean brand new tram and kfam and yeah and Douglas Luise and the Alternatives there are are locatelli and foli who you know are still Italian Internationals um that's not a bad place to be that's a really good squad J conel has joined alh for around $28 million gab you're a big fan of you start to see him go well I'll still be watching him I'll be you know I watch Aila very very closely no um again it seems to me a victim of football of modern times of I just find it's kind of depressing I I think he could he can help many teams and but he has a big contract obviously guarda hasn't made many mistakes um in his time at Manchester City yeah I think giving Canelo a new deal when he had no plan to use him ever again uh and then you know misjudging that so badly that's going to be one of them along with Cole Palmer uh obviously um oh and uh Calvin Phillips up of course yeah um but there aren't too many you know he's got most things right uh look he made a deal to get money I think it's a great deal for for Manchester City because I don't think anybody else was going to give you that kind of money for Canelo at this stage he's been burned in Europe at this stage and so he moves on I still think he's a unique talent uh in his role and I think he could have helped many teams yeah and that's Jo Canelo not his brother Jose I don't know why I called him Jose in the question but yeah that's because because when I wrote the script it autocorrected to Jose so it's not your fault Joel kingy Kuman wants to leave Bayern Jules why is he leaving it so late what are his plans yeah you're right I mean this it's really strange why he left it so late I'm not really sure why uh I think Bayern have always said listen if you want to go you're welcome huge wages um ois arriving Musa is there gabri is there I think they were qu keen on letting him go and I think maybe he took him time to to make his mind up really between staying and and going the thing is like you said now it's really late and the the only Club right now that he has is in Saudi Arabia so yesterday there were few conflicting reports I was I was told that I didn't want to go others reported that he accepted the deal to go to aliad I think it is I'm I'm not sure but I'd be disappointed to see him go over there I think there's enough Talent there for a European club to go and get him that might mean for him taking a uh like a less money and and you know decrease his his wages but he can do that he's he's already a very very rich man so I'm really curious to see what's next for him I'd be disappointed if that was Saudi Arabia I'll tell you what on uh on on Kanan um I mean obviously the market in saudi's open uh longer so he doesn't need to be in rush but why doesn't he come to Arsenal un loan and he can back up Kai HS and give you a different dimension he can play center forward he's done it before right uh don't remember him playing Center forward oh he's did he did it at U it's not really it's not that different yes he's done it not particularly well but I prefer Gabriel Jesus as a nine than le as a nine all right okay all right think there's a few clubs who could do with somebody like him it's just yeah it's a bit late now to try to make that whatever move happen really after two disappointing games Milana scrambling at the end of the transfer window the St of cacus plus cash for Tam Abraham AR Roma and they're looking at another midfielder rabio maybe Manu K Aur Milan was supposed to be big meth deal planners on the transfer market Gap what's happening yeah this is weird right because they're the smartest guys in the room and they plan and the youngsters and the analytics and and monata I think this is pretty uncharacteristic to how this nework I think it shows you that some of the decision makers at the club have changed you know slat not saying this oh it's because of slatan but you know slaton's obviously much more involved he's going to be part of whether being un season is is Judge a success um you know okay so yic didn't play well uh when when he's been on the pitch so like oh look you know Tammy Abraham I sure uh but you knew yic wasn't very good you saw him all of last season right I mean the Salam makers Tommy Abraham deal I think is the kind of deal that could help both clubs fine um but you could made this deal at the start of the summer right um and again in Midfield it's not a mystery rabio was maybe you wait on him because the best possible deal manuk con feels a little agent driven to me frankly because you know when you have a guy from abroad who who gets linked to a different Italian Club this happens all the time different Italian Club every week you know that there's somebody in Italy who has the mandate to sell them um but you know we had manuk Con in our uh draft of young players a couple years ago remember his name way a little bit but there's there's talent in there I just hope these aren't knee-jerk reactions I I think mean's done well being methodical with their planning and obviously some of their signings this summer like fana and Pablo reflect this um this one a little bit less so [Music]
