Tbh he’s the big regret of the season for me. I just wish we would’ve played him as our out and out CF sooner. Think we’d be clear if we had

He's doing the business for sure. Arteta said he was good in three positions and that sometimes the player finds their own position. He certainly has.

Yep, but tbf to Arteta, he had Partey and Vieira injured for most of the season and Jorginho has been playing with injuries.

Yep. At least some (e.g. @OnlyOne) admit to it rather than pretending it never happened.
I don't get it though. Being right on some forum isn't that important. For a neutral like Dokaka I'd get it somewhat, no stakes in what Arsenal does, but for an Arsenal fan I don't get it.

The Havertz decision process is being made easier because of the other options available on the market not being top.
If there was a 25+goal a season level raiser striker that was get-able on the market or young player with Kane/benzema/Lewa potential and we turned that down because we had Havertz that would be a bad mistake that we would regret but i just don't see that player.
Osimhen is better than Havertz but is he 120m+ level player which forces you to make decisions on other positions? i don't think so.
I think the options available is making the decision for us, keep Havertz bring in a young potential CF that you hope can be developed into a player better than Havertz long term and use other funds for a top level midfielder and winger.

Disagree. Giroud's lack of goalscoring cost us a lot of stuff, but he's improved greatly on that end since. Arsenal Giroud wouldn't be good enough, but I'd take a younger version of Milan Giroud any day of the week.
A more mobile Giroud that can score around 15 goals a season is the perfect #9 for this team, not a Haaland or Osimhen type that scores a lot but has no link up play. If Havertz can become that player, and I think he is becoming that player, he should be our CF going forward.
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
Even if he is, our concerns are LF and LCM, we could definitely do with Havertz and Jesus for the next few years

I have given up on jesus personally, him and Havertz is not enough for the CF position.
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
It's not about whether it's enough or not, there are other priorities far more urgent than the CF position

Anyone is available if you tap them up. Agent Ødegaard needs to get on the case.

Isak isn't really any more injury prone than Haaland and when he's fit, he scores.

He'd cost a bomb though, don't think we'll go for both him and Bruno

I don't really want Guimares here. He's not getting away with his nonsense in an Arsenal shirt. Anyone who improves us is going to cost a lot. We're trying to take down City and complete with the likes of Madrid in the CL. We're past the stage of penny pinching.

Player:White
Guimares doesn’t take us up a level.
Isak does.
It’s that simple for me really. He’s the only striker out there rn that I’d go big on.
Guimares improves us but doesn’t elevate us.
Country: England
What elevation is left in this squad atm? I think it’s tiny margins now.

Exactly. I would say after Isak, Rodrygo is the other player who would fit that description but his availability is a real doubt.

For the premier league I’d agree, all we need is small margins as what counts there is consistency and application.
But to blow past the big teams in the CL you need some je ne sais quois which we don’t have rn.
That’s what we need to elevate to. Remember I’ve seen us lift the PL 3 times (technically 5 but I don’t remember the first 2).
What I want, what I crave is the CL. Like at least just once before I depart these fair shores you know?
Brother, I don't think we will never taste that sweet CL cream.
