Reddish-Blue 2,503 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 2 minutes ago, Vesper said: I think Arse was crazy to not go for Gapko over Mudryk, as Gapko can play CF as well. If I was them, I would make a move for Arnaut Danjuma (similar to Gapko in terms of flexibility, and even more comfortable as a CF) Also, surely a target must be Yéremy Pino, and I assume they still want Thuram perhaps. I was always puzzled why they wanted a pure LWer (Mudryk) when they have a potential superstar there already in Martinelli. Neither likes to play on the right, and they have Saka as RWer already (no clue why T-Markt lists Saka as RMF, as if you look at games where they play a 4 2 3 1, he is always at the same spot, but sometimes they call him a RMF, and others a RW, even though the formation and play are the exact same) He sure seems a RWer to me, BUT can play as a LWB too (maybe RWB as well) Mudryk is almost ambipedal, he has no issues with shooting with his left foot (his loog passing off his left is not, atm, as good as with his right, BUT his crosses are fine with his left), so he seems like he could play on the RW more so than Martinelli. Interesting point....as apparently Danjuma has been allowed to fly to London to speak to PL clubs about a loan to permanent type of transfer... People on twitter were mentioning Arsenal/Villa (Emery connection)/Spurs (squad depth for Conte) as options Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Pizy 18,903 Posted January 15, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted January 15, 2023 With 2 new attacking players now in with Felix and Mudryk we should not even be thinking about Thuram any longer. Or anyone else in attack. Focus 100% of any remaining business on areas of genuine need. And if possible try to get a head start on outgoings. kexik, Vesper, Johnnyeye and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly has some strong upsides, not least being very two footed, but he is fast and brave. He is essentially a Timo replacement I guess - fast, direct, dangerous when there is space to attack. If he can be more clinical than Timo then he will be loved here, because Timo was actually key for us in an attacking sense he just was simultaneously frustratingly wasteful.

Pulisic we should have sold without giving a minute in January, with the benefit of hindsight... After his WC, value was high and a lot of clubs would be interested in the hope this was a turning point. I think we should give him some subs minutes towards the end of the season to showcase he "can play and is fit" and then sell him asap in summer before he gets another injury.

What a talent that lad is.. he will end up at Madrid/City in the end. I feel like we should just be systematically poaching a decent % the players that clubs like Benfica and the RB teams buy. Probably relies on us having the multi-club model in place though. Some of these clubs have unquestionably proven they can repeatedly buy good, undervalued and highly promising players.
