We definitely have a pretty big headache on our hand next summer potentially. If Quenda continues his development and has a great season whilst Estevão & Pedro Neto do here then I wonder what happens. What would be the pathway to first team game time for Quenda if we have two great RW? One of which has the potential to be the next Neymar.

He can fill in there in an emergency situation but he is not a winger. You want Pedro in and around the box causing havoc for defenses like we got a glimpse of against Palmeiras. I feel like we 100% need another player in who is more naturally comfortable out wide on the left. Because as of now it’s going to be either Gittens or playing someone out of position out there. What happens if Gittens doesn’t settle quickly or gets injured? We’re kind of screwed in that position.

Oh, he’ll score a bunch for sure. But I can’t see Haaland alien numbers or anything.

Villa selling their women’s team the other day apparently means they’re fine with PSR now reportedly. No chance to get Rogers this summer I would think.

So no Kudus for us then. Would’ve been a nice signing but a luxury. Not too bothered. Just hope that if someone else is brought in it’s anyone but Garnacho.

I think any of our fans still holding out hope for a new keeper coming in need to abandon that thought now. The ONLY reason there was a chance a few weeks ago is because we thought we could get Maignan for a steal of a price. But once Milan dug their heels in and we walked away I think that was the end of any keeper pursuit. The thinking was most certainly “if we can get some top class keeper for a bargain price we’ll do it. Otherwise, we’ll stick with what we have.” Sanchez will have until January to show whether he can stay. If he once again costs us points then we’ll finally do something.

Smart of Arse to get Gyokeres done before Madueke 🤣 Now their fans won’t be as mad when that signing hopefully gets done this coming week.

I do agree that Gyokeres is being overrated a bit. Everyone is so convinced that he’ll be a Haaland/RvP/Aguero level striker who’s going to score 30 PL goals but I don’t think he’ll get near that.

Don’t really see the point in them getting both Eze and Rodrygo. Both are the level of player that should be starting every match. Eze going from star boy who ran the show at Palace to squad player at Arse would be Grealish to City like. And Rodrygo would surely only go there if he’s assured of a starting role every week or else he’d be in the same situation as he is now at Madrid. Whatever happens, there are now ZERO excuses for Arteta and Arse not to win the league. Can’t keep finishing 2nd over and over again. With the sort of money spent and the few weak areas of their squad finally addressed he NEEDS to win it this year.

Arse’s probable front 4 will be Gyokeres up top, Eze LW, Saka RW, and Odegaard at #10. Rice and Zunimendi as the midfield 2. And then their elite back line. Annoying as hell to say that they’ll probably have the best XI in the league.

Arse, Liverpool, and City all having great windows. It’s going to take something special from us to finish above any of those 3 this season.

If a Madueke replacement comes and Kudus is off the table going to Spuds, I think I’d rather we go for another natural, touchline hugging winger to compete with Gittens on the left than Nweneri. Fofana I guess is the logical choice.

Says he’s prioritizing Spuds as well. Think he sees his path to being an every match starter more viable at Spuds than he does here so that makes sense.

Nobody is beating this super motivated PSG in form like this.

Kudus makes sense because he’s highly experienced and ready to step right in in a number of areas. As big of a talent as Nwaneri may be is he really the profile of player an already super young team needs? Keeping in mind that we ALSO have Quenda coming in as a winger next summer!

What sort of position does Nwaneri play predominantly? Not sure why we’d be interested if he’s a RW when we’ll have Neto and Estevão there. And centrally we have Palmer and now João Pedro.

The entire Arse fanbase will be on suicide watch if we actually swap Noni for Nwaneri. A winger not many of us really rate and would happily see the back of for their most talented and promising youngster. 🤣🤣🤣 Not saying I want Nwaneri, just that it would be hilarious. Arse fans would be in meltdown.

Madueke & Nkunku are the two we most urgently need to shift for good money before these other clubs come to their senses and realize they can do better. Get Madueke to the Emirates before they decide to go for Rodrygo instead.

Andrey Santos looked solid for someone who had to be unexpectedly thrown in last minute. Kept his passing simple and tidy, stayed calm in possession, and got stuck in to some crunching tackles here and there to win the ball back. Made a couple of positional mistakes that allowed Palmeiras to break past him but that’s perhaps why Maresca doesn’t view him as a holding midfielder but more of an advanced #8. Valuable experience for him overall and it’s good for him to show the manager that he can be trusted like this.

Levi being out means the CB situation against Fluminense is worrying. Even more so if Reece is out again. But at least Caicedo will be back and João Pedro’s first appearnece was very promising. As much as I don’t really have super high hopes for Gittens, it sucks that we didn’t pay up sooner and get him in before this tournament started. We desperately need a natural left winger.

Madueke makes the wrong decision every time. Gets into SO many dangerous situations and then fucks it at the last pass or action.

wtf happened to us? Dominated the first half and now look dead on our feet.

Completely asleep since half time. We have been just asking for it since the whistle.

We’re just begging them to have chances at our goal with all these stupid fouls. Cucu needs to calm down.

Why is Nkunku still playing for Chelsea? Offers absolutely NOTHING.
