Edu's Considering Transfer Targets: Summer 2022 🛒

[Rex Stone]

Anyone saying Zhegrova is a definite Pepe upgrade is just mental.

Pepe was arguably the best player in Ligue 1 outside of PSG when he left while Zhegrova just seems a decent player.

He could well be better but some of the Twitter freaks acting like Pepe is a Ryo Miyachi level player are ******.

 

[Heskey]

Always said with Pepe he's got all the skills needed to be great but he lacked composure a lot in the final third for us, I think he'd be great in a counter attacking team because he has more space to use his skill and speed. Often with us he'd get crowded out and was unsure of what to do.

Whilst I do think he had a decent shot it was by no means consistent either, Countless times he'd come inside on his left and fire the ball past the far post. More times than not I found him frustrating to watch only because the talent is there his brain is just a bit too slow in the final 3rd.

But composure can be gained over time. Was Salah always a clinical finisher for instance? Suddenly he bursts on to the scene like this.

I do not recognise him missing countless times when coming in for his left foot.

He doesn't, end of last season aside when he was trolling the few times he managed it was a goal or a shot on goal.

When he's waiting on the centre circle that's been some of his best moments in an Arsenal shirt too. There's a lot wrong with Pepe but @Heskey is right people just make up stuff now.

Hopefully he goes and the club brings in someone more suited and we can all put this behind us.

Exactly. His drive with the ball is something else really. He's shown it multiple times when he's gotten the chance.

By no means do I think he's flawless though.
But we've ruined him ourselves. He's had periods of great form that we stopped for whatever reason.

The slander he gets now is unsurprising as he's one of the last scapegoats. And the most expensive scapegoat to add insult to injury.

 

[ASAP Berg]

Would rather keep Pepe than get in another project player like Gakpo. Pepe has his faults but he is a good replacement of Saka is injured, good goal scoring winger especially if he gets a good run of games and can play LW too.

 

[SA Gunner]

I totally agree and that's why I desperately want Paqueta and he was on my wish list before the summer. 1 in 5 goals throughout his career, no other midfielder we have been linked with have those sort of numbers.

I pray that Zinchenko is the Tavares replacement and Paqueta is the starting LCM, realistically I'm not optimistic.

This is why I see Paqueta as an option for us, his versatility allows us to cover the LCM, RCM and RW roles in the team. Furthermore it gives our forward line more options to work with both in rotation and goal scoring ability.

I think that may be the last signing for us this window, unless we look to sure up our defensive line with a KWP profile player, with Tavares going on loan.

 

[samshere]

I wouldn't mind holding onto Pepe for another year. He's always been great against EL fodder, and it will be much easier to sell him after one year with his numbers better than what they are now.

 

[Hunta]

Zinchenko
Tielemans
Lingard

Jog him on. Lazy, inconsistent, one dimensional and no footballing IQ whatsoever.

He started with Tielemans which obviously got him massive interaction from Arsenal fans. Realised he had a way into the gimp world and now jumps on any Arsenal story.

Sane would be by far a better signing than Raphinha. That being said no reason he’d ever come here or leave Bayern

 

[OnlyOne]

Imagine being an away team and they’re walking into the tunnel and have to walk past Saka, Sane (long sleeved and gloved) and Jesus. You’d not bother turning up, gives me Henry, Manberg and Pires vibes.

Would be an absolute dream of a signing. and that's all it'll ever amount to, a dream.

Yea, I can only see the big 3 being able to pay his wages in La Liga. So a bit of an uninformed speculation by JB there. I don't see why he'd come here either. He's already on monster 320k a week

 

[dashsnow17]

Forget Sane, we should sign Neymar

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

No.

Look at the way this guy can finish Reminds me of Salah.

Worried now if we pass him up.

Think @Macho was saying the other day you’re rarely wrong and I’m noticing it as well…
