3 Midfielders Arsenal Should Sign In January...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- It’s no secret that Arsenal have struggled to find the right balance in the 23/24 season and despite being on course for more points than last season, Arsenal aren’t playing the same kind of fluid football as last season. A big part of that has been the shake up to midfield, with Thomas Partey struggling with injuries this season and Arsenal selling Granit Xhaka meaning they’re only playing one of the regular midfield three that took them to 2nd in the Premier League. Whilst Partey has largely been replaced by Declan Rice, Xhaka’s number 8 role is still up for grabs so today we’re going to take a look at the kind of profile that Arsenal could look to recruit.

I disagree on Kai's defensive output, he is a presence defending both in the air and in the tackle.
Yes he's better at defending than I thought and I think they played this slow football due to fatigue and I hope they keep on playing this type of football untill feb-
Absolutely, he's 2nd or 3rd in most of the defensive stats if anyone doesn't wanna acknowledge the obvious eye test of him winning duels left, right and center.
Also, what these constant videos always fail to understand is that we don't want to replace Xhaka with Xhaka2 or a regen Xhaka! One of the reasons Granit played like that is because he had certain attributes we wanted to bolden and certain shortcomings we wanted to not get into. Havertz is an extremely different player and he's learning to play one of the most complicated positions in our set up. You're missing the whole point if you want us to revert back to another Xhaka, as brilliant as he was for his final year of his 7 year spell here.
Weird how "Statman" Dave didn't see the stats on Havertz defensive numbers
For people who are confused with Kai’s defensive output. His defensive stats in that Newcastle game were more higher then Declan Rice. Tackles won, headers won, challenges won.
You are right. He recovers 2.3 ball per game. Xhaka recovered 0.5 per game last season.
Sofascore.
I think Arsenal needs more of 6/8 than a 8/10 or flat 8. As great as Rice is receiving from the CBs and evading the press isn’t his strongest suit. Martin on occasion had to be deep to receive or Zinny. We need a 6 that is press resistant that can also carry the ball creating space in the midfield for Martin and Saka, and a good ball winner (typing this out makes me realize how many things Partey does).
Zubimendi is good at. Whatever happens i think arteta will have to get rid of Elneny, Partey and Jorginho this summer and replace them with reliable and younger players. Zubimendi, Palinha, Onana...those..it will allow Rice to play n8
Except he is terrible at in the physio room
@@briansmith975 who ?
so you're saying we need to replace Rice?
@@thespizz5074 no. He's saying Rice is at the moment playing everything competition, everything role (6,8), and if hes injured our team will sink, as City sink without Rodri. Partey is not reliable, too injury prone. Elneny doesnt have the level and Jorginho cant handle the off ball part.
With Palinha and Douglas luiz, or any very good n6 and n8, Arsenal would have a top midfield for all competitions. Right now the situation is risky..but lets hope Rice is like Rodri, never injured...
Bernardo Silva is the real deal and a dream for any manager to have in their midfield.
City wont sell him to us.
The skillset required is basically Havertz
Zubimendi anyday - but if not available will go for koopmeiners.
Gundogan would’ve been perfect in the summer
Doubt city would wanna sell players to us again for a while now that we're title rivals
@@warrengrant2992what?? gundo at barca now 😂
@donj1 Exactly, that's a La Liga team so ain't a PL title threat last time I checked 🤷🏽♂️😂🤔
@@warrengrant2992 shit sorry i misinterpreted op comment lol
@@warrengrant2992 he was out of contract
Zubimendi should be perfect 👌🏽
Javier Guerra would be a good option too.
Vieira will need a loan for sure and still not sure about smith Rowe as he is injured too often for us to assess. We can’t be living off of a 1 season wonder.
Top scoring midfielders in best European leagues league.... Err Jude Bellingham surely has more goals
In defense Havertz has the same numbers Xhaka had
Havertz’s off the ball work rate has been immense and he’s just beginning to click with those around him. If Arsenal do sign a midfielder, it’ll be a replacement for Thomas Partey. Btw, he would fit right in at Man United, you know. All yours for £25m.
Kai Havertz Gabriel Jesus Gabriel Maghales Gabriel Martinell combination Rice Viera and the defenders Tierney White and Soares would do a Liverpool trick
As an avid fm player I’ve heard good things about vermeeren BUT AFTER SAMBI LOKONGA I DONT WANNA HEAR ABOUT BELGIUM WONDERKIDS
Has to be Zubimendi.
Nice presentation!
Douglas Luiz
Martin Zubimendi
Gabriel Moscardo
Statman Dave is everything that is wrong with football analysis nowadays hides behind stats that doesn’t really prove anything of you watch football properly
We don’t need one. Havertz is doing very well.
Need some one who is good with ball. Rice lacks that passing ability.
Don’t see arsenal spending so much money in January
Dont. Sign. KoopMeiners Arteta I would SHIT myself that would be a bigger signing than Declan ngl
I bet none of the players he mentioned move anywhere
Surely Dave you are getting this (Thomas) Partey started? ..... I'll get my coat!
Sure, let's use one of the best playermakers of last season and convert him to an 8, so that we can adjust the system to a 17.y.o. from Schalke. That's totally gonna happen. (btw. one could argue we could do that with Fabio Vieira...)
Utter nonsense of a video.
We need a striker
You haven't been watching Arsenal play this season if you think that Havertz is a defensive liability
I have watched Arsenal throughout this season and Havertz has worked hard and been effective in the games he has played in. I do acknowledge that he has been nervous in front of goal but I am hopeful that issue has been dealt with.
Havertz also seems popular with his team mates .
He didn't say that.
He said defensive awareness, I slightly agree with that, and it will improve with game time
Defence is what Havertz does best: he is intelligent, anticipates his opponent's passings and movements well. Perhaps not so talented in tackling, but he always reads the game well and makes the right decisions. (edit:typo)
kai did place left back
We could sign rodri and bernado silva when city get relegated?
Can’t say I agree on Arsenal needing midfielders. You don’t want a glut of players in one position on the team sheet. And unless you can pay phenomenal money to a player with no ambition (ozil) you won’t get top players sitting on the bench. Arsenal lack the clinical side of their game. Sell Nketiah and buy a world class striker and let Jesus sweat. That’s my suggestion.
Barella is everything we need
You aren't getting barella
Wouldn't Fofana from Monaco be a good option for a 6? That can help Rice play on the 8.
Only proper option dave gave in the video is zubamendi which Arsenal have already expressed intrest. Looking to replace havertz in lcm which he discussed majority of the video is useless, not a solution to a pblm we have. Making me question a man utd fan making video about arsenal, intentions.
We may need to sign two midfielders if we're losing partey,jorginho and elneny in the near future we'll be lacking serious depth otherwise.. won't be cheap but I'd love both zubimendi and luiz!.
third of the 3 would be Patino/MLS/Nwaneri then i recon?
@@flobodeluxe3531potinho will be excellent but he needs to improve his strength and positioning
Zubimendi, Douglas Luiz and Palinha. One of those...
Either Zubimendi or Luiz and a youngster like Moscardo or Vermeeren will do
@@flobodeluxe3531 none of these are at the level of Douglas luiz, palinha, ...
Might as well get Pascal Gross. Goal scoring 8 is fine if Trossard is considered a candidate.
Sudakov, Gabriel Moscardo, Andre Trindade, Fofana if we want to be smart and relatively cheap options
If we want to spend big wirtz
Koopmeiners would be my pick of the litter, but you've nearly sold me on Sancet, feels like he would offer a chance to get a new Xhaka but develop him from a much younger age and get a much higher ceiling. I'd prioritise signing both (or two CM's in general) over a 9 and sell Partey. Partey really needs to be sold (for his own sake as much as the team) he could have an amazing later career in a less physical league with a lower risk of injuries.
Surely zubimendi should be the target, have a few academy forward midfielders incoming.
Kai can make that no:8 his. The only think he needs to work on is his finish and higher intensity
Which comes with time. He’s 24. He will get better at that role with more game time.
jack wilshere would have excelled in this side
Douglas Luiz would be a quality sugning but he is very important to Aston Villa. My Dad is a Villa fan and I watch a fair amount of Villa games, Dougie is integral to their gameplan.
ive always wanted koopmiere at arsenal loved his style of play for the longest and believe he will do wonders at arsenal
How about Aurélien Tchouaméni as a Thomas Partey replacement?
Real Madrid won't sell him though, same as Frank De Jong, Barca won't sell
In my opinion would be best to put rice in the no 8 position and sign a new cdm, zubamendi would be perfect.
Just need partey fit or replaced by someone of his level.
WE DONT NEED ANYONE WE RE TOP
explaining the profile and i see mikels vision w kai
Douglas luiz from arsenal....
it’s gonna be zubimendi
How about andre
We just need 1 midfielder to be back-up/ replace Partey in the long-term due to fitness and injuries.
Imo the only other signing we could do with is a top class striker like Osimhen and we'll be a favourite in all comps with this current squad.
Arsenal didn't need Osihme because of his age, forget his football age he is a old man. Arsenal need Juventus striker or Ivan Tony not Osihme.
@@lilian3962 Osimhen is 3 years younger than Toney 😑
@@stunnerofagunner na football age be that we all knows how African players lies about the real age Osihme is more than 30 years. Arsenal need a good striker that his age recorded from the day he was born and someone who can hit the ground running.
@lilian3962 Victor Osimhen literally the best striker rn after Mbappe fr
@@lilian3962 he is 24, born in Lagos, Wenger approached him when he was 17 - I think I'll leave it to the club to decide on that matter
As per sofascore, Xhaka averaged 0.5 possession won per game. That’s one in 2 games…. That’s one in 164 minutes (he averaged 82 mins per game)
How is that a strong defensive presence?
7 assists, that’s one assist about every 445 minutes…
This is not hate, these are facts.
We don’t need an 8 we already have several options to cover that position like ESR, Vieira, Rice, Trossard and even Jesus can cover there, we desperately need another 6 for cover and a striker who can actually score so we can get rid of Eddie
Arsenal need to let Smith Rowe, Nelson, Viera, Eddie go they are all average players and can't improve Arsenal team to win trophies, none of them can play for any of the big teams in England, Spain, Germany, or Italy.
Pretty sure the shadows on the thumbnail are Bruno Guimaraes and Declan Rice, anyone else agree, or disagree?
I think Timber could perhaps become a 6, he better on the ball than most defenders and has power forwards. Rice at 8.
Bro just listing fm24 wonderkids😂😂
shouldve sign Milinkovic Savic
Thoughts on Quinten Timber?
I really wished we got Kudus….
I think we need a cam maybe Dani olmo
Zielinski and berella
Charlie Patino.
Bilal El Khannouss!
Douglas Luiz is going nowhere in January
And if he did move it would probably be to
man city that's where he come from
We have Patino
Koopmeiners really good option for Xhaka role but I want a see Mikel Merino or Rabiot in Arsenal.
Artera out!!!!!
Did you mention Gabriel Moscardo as well? He is also a worthy addition
Teun Koopmeiners is the obvious choice here. He is left footed and he has all the qualities needed for that box-to box role. His contract is also expiring in 2025 and I think we could realistically get him in january.
Love these vids, but would be nice if you also considered/mentioned academy options when discussing internal options.
Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri as well as Patino are all potential options (granted Patino unlikely until the summer)
Again with the Bahvss14 thumbnail.. this is not right
And ive no idea why u keep poppin up in my recommendations
Douglass Luis and Koopmeiners are the options imo. Sancet, never heard of him, ill take a look at him also, looks solid
We need a Thomas Partey Replacement, Rice is the Xhaka replacement. Rice is more suited for the 8 Role
Fofana as the new 6 for me.
We need kephran Thuram please 🙏🏿
You overthink man
We need strikers ffs
Super Video.
Arsenal should go for Eze as #8. Premier league proven with excellent skills! He won't be cheap but will be worth it.
douglus luiz can do it too if arsenal have the budget
I think Goretzka is the perfect midfielder that Arsenal must sign. He has got everything that Arsenal need. He is the perfect box-to-box midfielder and he has a goal threat in his arsenal as well. I mean you see what Goretzka can do for Bayern, his goal involvements are superb, I think it’s actually better than Xhaka’s goal involvements so this is the midfielder that Arteta needs to balance the midfield. A box-to-box, a primary playmaker and a number 6 in Declan Rice. He also got some defensive awareness as well since he is now playing as a centre back for Bayern. He might cost a lot but it’s worth it for Arsenal’s system and if Arsenal signed him, he will be better than Xhaka and they will sign one of the best box-to-box midfielder in this generation
Arsenal are struggling with ffp so they need to sell someone to get one of these listed signing so goretzka is a bit of a stretch
@@greyfoss9304 ok but if there one player they need to sell, who would be and what player do you recommend Arsenal to sign instead of Goretzka
@@wancina30 sell partey to juve and it should all work
Youssef Fofana is the best
who was that fella in the middle for brentford?
Dasilva?
Norgard
Statman Dave 🔥⚽️👍🏽
We don't need no more damn midfielders we need center forward
Thomas souchek would be a good squad player
