Hey Charles, What's your opinion about keeping Tierney for next year as a direct replacement (in terms of squad numbers) for Cedric. We all know how good of a player he is, he can play lb or lcb, plus he is a fan favorite and has elite mentality. We also have enough quality players at the back if he gets injured. I think that having a solid defensive player like Tierney also enables Arteta to maybe experiment with Zinchenko as a left sided 8, utilizing his penetrative passing and minimizing the damage due to his lapses in concentration. This would conclude business in defense, and Edu can then focus on getting proper quality in midfield and upfront. With the measly amount of 10 million doing the rounds in the news as the price, surely it makes more financial sense for Arsenal to keep him instead of spending another 30 million on a left sided defender like Hato who might take time to settle. Please let me know what you think!!
@@RichardStone-xk2px Wow how miserable and pathetic can you be you’ve got over 100 comments on this channel just talking shit about Arsenal lmao What kind of sad individual would go onto a football journalist’s channel who focuses on Arsenal just to leave hateful comments over 100 times lol
Really disappointed about not getting Sesko. Next year he will cost a lot more. I respect his decision because he wouldn't likely be a starter here guaranteed and may not even break into the team altogether. What now? Sesko was an unknown to me. Hopefully there is another young talent not on my radar who costs around 60m...Would there have been scope to buy him now and loan him back there for a year?
Hi Charles 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. Sad 😔 news about Sesko staying at RB Lepziq,but we have to look on the bright 🌞 side we still have Martin Obi . He is a young talent and will win 🏆 trophies 🏆 God willing. Have a good day Charles 😂. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😎.
I’m not disappointed in not getting Sesko, as I didn’t believe in any of the rumours in the first place. I come from the days of Benzema and Higuain rumours😅 Douglas Luiz on the other hand, we know, there has been concrete interest by Arsenal in previous windows- I really like this player, he might just be the final piece that completes our midfield.
I must agree, not massively fussed about sesko. A move too early in a players career rarely pays massive dividends. He needs to improve to become the main man. Kai is special. I am sure he will hammer in 20 from his wierd 10/9 position.
If I'm Arsenal now I target a wide forward as I don't see a realistic option to come in at centre forward for the right price as I'd spend my big money on that central midfielder. Do that and we could have the best defence and midfield in the league with an attack that still scored a lot of goals last year. It also means that Arsenal can then then prioritise a striker next year when the market might be more favourable, for instance Isak might be more attainable if they don't make the UCL again. Obviously there are risks here, but that's going to be the case however Arsenal approach this window.
Agent knows that its easier to get the price up next season with the bidding war and not moving or changing anything is probably easiest and most sensible step for player.
Go after a speedy winger and a 6/8 midfielder!! Question - is there a problem with our academy? Losing key players, not putting them on teams with loans that work, etc.
Hello Charles. Abbey from Uganda. I may be off topic but my concern is. When Edu was appointed, him coming from being a technical director of the Brazilian national team I thought we would ably compete for Brazilian talents but am a bit disappointed. Only Martineli, Marquinos so for. Jesus was already in de premier League. Now that we are linked with Bruno and Luiz let's hope the Brazilian magic works😂
Love your videos Charles been a big fan since day 1 and was with you everyday step of your way to 100k and will be here for every single one of your milestones to come. COYG
My gut feeling is Fergi if we can and Biereth if we can't. So important that we retain our homegrown talent. It is obvious that Nwaneri and Obi Martin can both join the first team next year.. Unless they set their play on fire, they will have to work hard and push their noses into the running. Both have the skill to perform at that level.
Hello Charles! Greetings from the former Rhodesia! Regarding the current squad and incomings, do you think that maybe the key to figuring out what direction to take in the transfer window is with Arteta's tactics? In your first episode with him, TNAT mentioned how ESR should've stayed a winger rather than be converted into a midfielder and whilst he's shone I'm the middle of the park maybe he has a point. What if Arteta was to follow that and revert ESR out wide and then have Trossard provide cover on the right for Saka whilst also shifting our view from a left 8 to a six because there's a certain player at Crystal Palace or Khephren Thuram maybe who can then come in instead of trying to draw out a long saga with the likes of Neves. Great show as always, keep up the sensational work.
Hey Charles, I'm from Chennai India, I won't be completely worried if we don't sign a striker . But this should mean we go big for a winger like Rashford or leao and Bruno or Neves as we'll have enough budget
Hey Charles, with Sesko out. Why are we not approaching Sancho for 40 mil? Number 9 is not our primary concern as we have Kai, Gabby and Leo who can all play there. All 3 offer different if not slightly dimensions in attack. Our draws and loses come from games especially when Saka underperformed due to fatigue. Sancho would solve both wings to rotate with GM11 and BS7. Leo performs best in number 9 anyways and can play LW so I feel like it makes a lot of sense and player fit profile. Not quite sure of his discipline off pitch but I'm sure nothing Teta cannot fix. Sancho for 40 mil and Douglas for 55 mil as reported would take this team to another level in terms of quality and depth. And some project signs to fill departures and to offer depth. That way, FFP would be less of a concern too. What do you think?
Hey Charles! Avi from Nepal … I really think we don’t need a no.9 right now what we really need is an out and out winger who can take on full backs and give us another dimension to our attack. To add on that we need a no. 8/10 who can create and share the burden with odegard. Finally a top cb … last season I alway feared what if one of our cb got injured.. ya we do have defenders who can play cb but an out and out cb is must if we are to win the league!!! We can always go for sesko next season!!!
Always had a feeling he would stay from his agent He was so open about everything and enjoyed photo ops at various stadiums The first thing we would have said to him is to stay quiet on that front if we was all really serious about the move...
Sesko decision is logical, and I respect that and want to sign him now even more :) I wonder what we do know. Will we go for Zirkzee? That might work out also very well.
Hi Charles, I’m interested to get your thoughts on this. It might be one for you and James. Having worked in LOI (league of Ireland) with both Waterford FC & Shelbourne as first team and academy level physio. In the LOI academy we have u13,u15,u17,u20 I feel once a player comes out of under 20s very few with if any are reddy for first team. The same can be said about the Arsenal underage set up. I think we be better off returning to old reserve league. That way we could use players in the first team that are getting no game time. Plus it’s easier to get a player to buy into playing for reserves rather then saying your with the 21s. Plus would bring the young players to a better level playing alongside first team players. Cheers
It would be nice if Sesko could have sign for Arsenal and then send him in loan back for 1-2 years. But I don't mind, he's doing what needs to be done, I respect his decision.
Its not a bad thing about Sesko, its a good idea for him to stay and develop a bit more in familiar surroundings before he gets a move to a huge club like The Arsenal. Being a front man at a club like ours is a big weight on the shoulders of a lad who is just barely just 21 year old. I wonder if we could have signed him and lent him straight back on loan for another season to continue where he is?? In another year or so, we could go back in for him if he's polished his skills enough to suit us, we'll have to wait and see.
Hi Charles, love the content! Now Sesko is out of the picture I think it would be wise for Arsenal to look at buying an inside forward like Rafael Leão from AC Milan. He is the perfect age profile at 25, can play across the front line, good stats and has said in the past that the Prem is a dream move for him! I think this would allow Bukayo and Gabi to rotate and not stop the development of Havertz, would love your thoughts? Best Harry
Hi Charles, With the way things are shaping up, it looks like Rambo will stay at the club, except something happens as it's a long window, that would be nice having someone like him at the club for another season. I think now Sesko has made his decision to stay in Germany, we should go for a winger to bolster the squad. What do you think of Fofana, he looks like a really good player and I still think we need a defender too. Sam.
Honestly I think it's probably best for him (sesko) to develop. That said arsenal need to get signings this year that make impacts. I'm don't want the club to think because as fans we're of the performances it's OK to take their foot off the gas. We need get better and lift silver this year!
Sesko staying is best for his development. I wanted Gyokeres over Sesko anyway. Our transfer targets should be this: Osimhen 95m plus Douglas Luiz 50m. Or ideally. Bruno g 85-90m plus gykores 85m. Maximum spend 175m. Guarantees 20+ goals a season plus unlocks Martinelli with that perfect left sided 8. We 100% need a killer number 9. Kai will be second choice, we can’t rely on him or Jesus to be clinical enough in those big games. Bayern away, Villa at home for example.
@@dovahnkil-hf5yv we easily can imo. Made around 100m from prem finish, champions league progress and tv etc. then there’s further investment from the owners. Then there is money from sales with I think could easily pass 150m
Hey Charles, did I miss something or did all the talk of Toney dry up out of nowhere? I swear just a few months ago it was a serious conversation and now no-one’s even mentioning him? Surely he’s not a bad idea?
Smart from Sesko from a developmental perspective.. he probably didn’t want to be Werner-esque .. we need a more seasoned striker for this project to yield a title
Any update on Arsenal targets for the Left back position? Rumours about Ferdi Kadioglu seem to have gone quiet. Also if Arsenal do sign a left back, do you think we could just move Zinchenko to be an option to cover/rotate in various midfeild roles? Also connected, any further rumours about Zinchenko leaving?
Charles, he should have taken the opportunity to go to Arsenal, he would be under the right amount of pressure to perform at Arsenal, since he will not start off as the main man. He was naive, overly cautious , and I would understand. He is young and easily convincible . It’s business for his parent club, because if he chose to go to Arsenal he would have been carefully eased in to first team sports and would have be a great ground for him. If Arsenal gets another deal done , he will have to settle for another club and hope it goes well, because Arsenal is in a good place rn and will be for years to come
Hey Charles, thanks for the update. I’m not surprised with this move, I don’t think he’d want to play second fiddle to Havertz. I just don’t know what Arteta’s thought process is where a striker is concerned, I think we are falling back into the trap that Arsene Wenger fell into back in the day… we are not signing positions that we Need…
Nice video Charles. Tough break for us not getting Sesko, I'd always felt, as a transfer target, he made the most sense for us as a forward. For possible alternatives, I really don't see any. For me, given the best value for that position is off the table, we have to go big or go home. So, if we're not getting oshimen or Isak (which will probably cost us north of £100m), then I don't see any other realistic striker for us around because anything short of those two will not improve our team considerably. Evan Ferguson? Barring the injuries, not worth the £80m+ Brighton will ask for. Vlahovic, no thanks, I think that ship has sailed. Brobbey, Zirkzee, Toney, Solanke, Openda, Boniface, Mateta will all be dull and uninspiring. Arsenal are already a great team, we need level raisers not squad players who are "meh". Put differently, if any striker coming is not an improvement on Nketiah and higher or at the level of Jesus, why bother?
I think we'll sign a winger this window and possibly revisit Sesko or other 9's next summer. Not a huge market this season for strikers. I'd love Williams but would still take Mudryk ( Only at a cheap price like 30m) and I'd take Sancho for 40m if the wages weren't astronomical
Hi Charles, although it's not mentioned in this video, i just think it's worth noting that Ben White would have started every game for England at the euros this summer with the way things have worked out, I love Ben and respect his decision but i think its a case that he has stung himself a little bit here, he will have what he wanted ... Steve and Gareth will both be regretting disrespecting him and wishing he was their but from his own point of view, he could have introduced himself on the world stage as one of the best defenders in the world helped England in this tournament
Hi Charles, could you see Arsenal make a move for Serge Gnabry at BM. There was a chance of a move last year. He can play the wing or up front, proven goal scorer, champions league experience, still young, former gunner, still loves our club. Another possible swap deal for Zinchenko, aside from Kimmich. Thoughts?
If Martin-Obi wants to leave then fine, if he’s come through the academy and doesn’t want to stay let him go, he can sign a pro contract in November so it’s not like he’d have to wait ages. We want players who want to be here
If I was a young up and coming star at Arsenal I'd definitely go to a German club (or maybe Ajax) given the chance. They know how to develop players and manage to have an upgrade path to the first team, something that Arsenal and many other PL teams struggle with. When you mature then you can return to the PL if you're good enough.
Hi Charles, this is potentially a stupid question as I genuinely don’t know how these things work, but could a player hypothetically renegotiate their deal at any time? Kieran Tierney, for example, knows he’d struggle to find minutes at Arsenal and would want to go somewhere else, yet his injury record and wages prevents him from finding a good move. If he wanted to prioritize his playing time, could he try to get on lower wages to make him a more attractive signing for other clubs? I can understand wanting to get the most out of the contract signed as a player so this wouldnt normally be a good idea for them, but was just wondering if it was even possible for a player to do. Thanks! - Nadir
Cheers Charles I am for a left siide midfielder that can do the winger job too is there such a thing in the market???? Can we get a right side winger to cover saka and a strong defender that can cover many positions it should be enough if ramsdale goes I like the young italian goal keeper
Sesko only played on average 44 mins per game that he played… it’s a very grown up decision. Makes sense. I do like him though… scores equal amounts of goals with either foot. Don’t want osimen as he’s too expensive. Gorkoyres doesn’t interest me. Zurkies looks interesting. Obi is physically much bigger than the rest of the players in the league. Interesting to see how he goes playing against big boys.
As much as I wanted Sesko it’s the best move he could make. He’ll have champions league football still in a team surrounded by good players in a system he’s already familiar with and can grow and develop with starting minutes.
Hi Charles, now that Sesko is off the table I think we might go for a potential winger the likes of Rafinha or even Bowen (I can’t see Lopetgui sanctioning that to be fair) and when Eddie goes I might replace him with Bryan MBeumo. Proven premiership players would make sense as impactors when required.
Would love to see us go after another position of need aggressively note that we’re most likely not signing a striker. Someone like Eze or Xavi Simmons for the left 8 or even a Leao (doubtful) for a LW is what I’d like
We maybe able to deal one more season with Havertz playing up front. He had a fantastic second half of the season. Though if Arsenal do put more money on other positions, where would you consider Charles? Most people will probably answer a winger or No.6. I think we need a No.8 to support Odegaard more. Odegaard was in top form no doubt but i still miss his form in 22/23 when we was able to attack the goal more on his own. Isn't Arsenal interested in Sudakov from Shaktar? I think he would be a good signing to complement Odegaard.
im kinda suprised at the lack of interest in Ollie watkins tbh,, he is a proven premier league goalscorer,, great at holding up the ball,, good composure,, good workrate,, he is an arsenal fan so cintract wont be a problem,, need i say more?? although i do understand he is a bit "older" than what we're looking for he shouldnt even cost anything more the 80mil what are your thoughts on this?
Morning Charles! Gutted about Sesko, but onto the next rumour I guess 😅 I’ve just seen an update from Romano that Newcastle may let Almiron leave this window to help with PSR - do you reckon this is a worthwhile target? Can play in both an attacking mid role and as competition for Saka on the right wing, premier league proven. However looking at his age (30) and stats, I have perhaps just talked myself out of this as he’s perhaps not as prolific as I initially thought! Your thoughts anyway? Also sad to see that Szczesny looks set to go to Saudi, also according to Fab - what a whirlwind this pre-transfer window has been 😂 Sam
Need match winners type of players, players who can win you game single-handedly. Bowen, Kudus, Mitoma, Toney all fall into this category. We have enough bench warmers Vieira, Nelson, Nketiah all of whom are decent players but none who will win you games and be decisive at key moments. With Havertz doing well and in form, few strikers wants to come sit on three bench knowing Arteta doesn’t rotate much. Zirkzee is an exciting prospect who will sit about Eddie in the pecking order, but it’s hard to get him to sit on the bench if he signs.
Tough season last year has put people off him. Still has lots of quality and would be a great addition however price point is probably another draw back
as an Englishman, I agree, however the back end of last season he struggled, with form and whatnot, but he's still only a youngster but the major problem is gonna be his asking price I suspect.
@@johncooney4681 give him time, he's still only 19, plus (although I might be wrong) but I don't think he's a regular starter so he's obviously got some work to do, but he's definitely promising. But really I think it's a moot point as I don't see Arsenal signing him this summer.
Hi Charles, congrats on 100k. Been here from the start, just wondering how that Sesko stays at Leipzig whether you think we’ll stick to the younger model of striker or look for someone with PL experience now? Watkins a big shout for me if you can prize him away from villa, cheers.
Havertz should be the main striker- he is getting smarter and is very reliable with injury The hard investing should be done for top quality winger and defensive midfielder.
I dont mind Sesko staying at his club its a good development for him for a move later on… I actually want gyokores or BONIFACE!!! Those r the gunmen we need in the team, presence, power & finishing all elements we need up front. I would also add a Chiesa if juve are actually selling him thats 2 strong players there & when we get rid of some players from our squad we can fill in the gaps in defence & CDM/CAM
Havertz was always going to open the season as the starter. Bringing in a striker meant you can sell players like Jesus/Nketiah. So the plan does not change, there are options out there like Solanke, Osimhen and Toney etc. But I wouldn't offer them insane amounts of money. On the flip side, just increase the creative side and spend 60m on Eze to play the Foden/Smith Rowe role.
Ngl, was gutted Sesko didn’t sign for us. But tbh with Havertz current form, Sesko’s a big name signing we all hoped for not really needed. However if do want him next season he won’t come cheap
We cannot wait for next season to sign Sesko. We need to move on, but I'm not sure if there are strikers out there whom we can go for who are in the same level and age bracket as Sesko. If we can't find one, we might as well go for a right winger. Toney and Osimhen are a No-No for me.
Hi Charles “You keep say “chidi” cause you want to give me That shirt..😂😂 For chido I hope he stays. Arsenal should start keeping their young ones. Look at Barca and their young ones. …. I heard you say “chidi” again… that shirt is mine🎉🎉🎉 Chidi from Houston
Definitely not upset with Sesko decision to stay as i agree with you Charles he still in my opinion he needs to develop and he at a good club to develop further.
Good morning Charles I think Arsenal will push Barcelona for Rafinha as it’s A player Arsenal has always wanted great cover for Saka and he can also play on the right and maybe even central.
I'm disappointed for Arsenal, but for Sesko, assuming he doesn't care about the club he ends up at, it makes sense. In my opinion, he's most likely to end up at Bayern Munich now as a Kane replacement in a year or two. A lot of big clubs already have strikers, and those who don't won't wait around.
Not sure if there was a deal possible where we sign Sesko and loan him back out to RB Leipzig for this season, similar to what we did with Saliba. That would make much more sense to me from Sesko's prespective, he would get the minutes he needed with Leipzig, but still have his future set with a big club.
I feel like Arsenal acting like we don't need a new number 9 is odd. We might sell Nketiah who is not great for us either way, Bayern are poaching Obi Martin, Jesus is injury prone and we use Havertz in both attack and midfield. We don't have options in that position and depth is always our kryptonite. I'm also disappointed we didn't land Sesko but we should still add in that position instead of being worse off than last season.
I am not really that super concerned about the Sesko's decision. What breaks my heart more is the Chido Obi Martin's story to Bayern, really believe this boy can become a very good striker for Arsenal. Not a good day for us. Let's just focus on chasing that quality wide player then. Any chance that we might be looking for Takefusa Kubo?
Indeed a little disappointed not getting Šeško.. saw that Gyokeres has better numbers than him - so we shd go for him with full force - pay the £80m to get him.
Good news in regards to the Sesko situation tbh. Arsenal are finally in a position where we are competing for the top trophies. Going for the easy option and signing an affordable young project striker wouldn't have got us over the line TBH. Sign a player who gets us over the line.
Man city showed how important it is to have 2 great goalkeepers last season. Even Scot Carson is decent as number 3. Hope Ramsdale stays and gets silverwares with Arsenal!
Don’t gass up that kid too much you realise his playing with boys so much smaller than him, once he reaches first team it will level out mark my word, just remember what Eddie used to do in academy not just Eddie even balagun
If the striker market isn’t right for Arsenal this summer I can see us waiting. As you say Charles, investing heavily in a wide forward could be the best play. If Zirkzee joins Milan like the rumours suggest, I could see us going in for Leao. What’s your thoughts?
Despite the Sesko news, I trust Arteta and Edu to know what they need to do in the market, Mudryk v Trossard comes to mind. The past few transfer windows have been spot on from Arsenal, way more hits than misses, so, it's easy to trust them :)
Thanks for the great work Charles

Sesko decision is logical, and I respect that and want to sign him now even more :) I wonder what we do know. Will we go for Zirkzee? That might work out also very well.
Hi Charles,
I’m interested to get your thoughts on this.
It might be one for you and James.
Having worked in LOI (league of Ireland) with both Waterford FC & Shelbourne as first team and academy level physio.
In the LOI academy we have u13,u15,u17,u20
I feel once a player comes out of under 20s very few with if any are reddy for first team.
The same can be said about the Arsenal underage set up.
I think we be better off returning to old reserve league.
That way we could use players in the first team that are getting no game time. Plus it’s easier to get a player to buy into playing for reserves rather then saying your with the 21s.
Plus would bring the young players to a better level playing alongside first team players.
Cheers
Hi Charles. I promise Leandro Trossard will do what he has been doing in the league there in the EUROS. That's my Arsenal star for this tournament
It would be nice if Sesko could have sign for Arsenal and then send him in loan back for 1-2 years. But I don't mind, he's doing what needs to be done, I respect his decision.
Its not a bad thing about Sesko, its a good idea for him to stay and develop a bit more in familiar surroundings before he gets a move to a huge club like The Arsenal. Being a front man at a club like ours is a big weight on the shoulders of a lad who is just barely just 21 year old.
I wonder if we could have signed him and lent him straight back on loan for another season to continue where he is?? In another year or so, we could go back in for him if he's polished his skills enough to suit us, we'll have to wait and see.
Hi Charles, love the content! Now Sesko is out of the picture I think it would be wise for Arsenal to look at buying an inside forward like Rafael Leão from AC Milan. He is the perfect age profile at 25, can play across the front line, good stats and has said in the past that the Prem is a dream move for him! I think this would allow Bukayo and Gabi to rotate and not stop the development of Havertz, would love your thoughts? Best Harry
Hi Charles,
With the way things are shaping up, it looks like Rambo will stay at the club, except something happens as it's a long window, that would be nice having someone like him at the club for another season.
I think now Sesko has made his decision to stay in Germany, we should go for a winger to bolster the squad.
What do you think of Fofana, he looks like a really good player and I still think we need a defender too.
Sam.
Leao would be amazing
@@makei89 Leao would be a dream signing under Arteta.
Fofana is not a winger
@@Sdrawkcab_mi Yeah, he's a midfielder.
Why would you keep Ramsdale 😂😂 so his value drops even more. Guy makes a howler every game he plays.
Honestly I think it's probably best for him (sesko) to develop. That said arsenal need to get signings this year that make impacts. I'm don't want the club to think because as fans we're of the performances it's OK to take their foot off the gas. We need get better and lift silver this year!
Sesko staying is best for his development. I wanted Gyokeres over Sesko anyway. Our transfer targets should be this:
Osimhen 95m plus Douglas Luiz 50m.
Or ideally. Bruno g 85-90m plus gykores 85m. Maximum spend 175m. Guarantees 20+ goals a season plus unlocks Martinelli with that perfect left sided 8.
We 100% need a killer number 9. Kai will be second choice, we can’t rely on him or Jesus to be clinical enough in those big games. Bayern away, Villa at home for example.
I dont think we can spend 100mil plus in consecutive seasons.
@@dovahnkil-hf5yv we easily can imo.
Made around 100m from prem finish, champions league progress and tv etc. then there’s further investment from the owners. Then there is money from sales with I think could easily pass 150m
@@jellybelly100jellyvision7 With our ownership i dont think they'll wanna do it for back to back seasons. But i do think there's a little chance.
Thank you Charles !!!
Hey Charles, did I miss something or did all the talk of Toney dry up out of nowhere? I swear just a few months ago it was a serious conversation and now no-one’s even mentioning him? Surely he’s not a bad idea?
He didnt really light up the prem after coming back from the ban. Besides, i think his age might be a factor in him not coming to us.
Smart from Sesko from a developmental perspective.. he probably didn’t want to be Werner-esque .. we need a more seasoned striker for this project to yield a title
@@RichardStone-xk2pxYour mum's fat.
Any update on Arsenal targets for the Left back position? Rumours about Ferdi Kadioglu seem to have gone quiet. Also if Arsenal do sign a left back, do you think we could just move Zinchenko to be an option to cover/rotate in various midfeild roles? Also connected, any further rumours about Zinchenko leaving?
Charles, he should have taken the opportunity to go to Arsenal, he would be under the right amount of pressure to perform at Arsenal, since he will not start off as the main man.
He was naive, overly cautious , and I would understand. He is young and easily convincible . It’s business for his parent club, because if he chose to go to Arsenal he would have been carefully eased in to first team sports and would have be a great ground for him.
If Arsenal gets another deal done , he will have to settle for another club and hope it goes well, because Arsenal is in a good place rn and will be for years to come
Hey Charles, thanks for the update. I’m not surprised with this move, I don’t think he’d want to play second fiddle to Havertz. I just don’t know what Arteta’s thought process is where a striker is concerned, I think we are falling back into the trap that Arsene Wenger fell into back in the day… we are not signing positions that we Need…
Nice video Charles. Tough break for us not getting Sesko, I'd always felt, as a transfer target, he made the most sense for us as a forward. For possible alternatives, I really don't see any. For me, given the best value for that position is off the table, we have to go big or go home. So, if we're not getting oshimen or Isak (which will probably cost us north of £100m), then I don't see any other realistic striker for us around because anything short of those two will not improve our team considerably. Evan Ferguson? Barring the injuries, not worth the £80m+ Brighton will ask for. Vlahovic, no thanks, I think that ship has sailed. Brobbey, Zirkzee, Toney, Solanke, Openda, Boniface, Mateta will all be dull and uninspiring. Arsenal are already a great team, we need level raisers not squad players who are "meh". Put differently, if any striker coming is not an improvement on Nketiah and higher or at the level of Jesus, why bother?
I think we'll sign a winger this window and possibly revisit Sesko or other 9's next summer. Not a huge market this season for strikers. I'd love Williams but would still take Mudryk ( Only at a cheap price like 30m) and I'd take Sancho for 40m if the wages weren't astronomical
Don’t get a different striker. Be patient. Invest heavily in midfield and in a wide forward now. We have 3-4 players who can play at the 9
@@RichardStone-xk2px spurs are forever in our shadow
Nketiah, Jesus, Trossard are all dog shit at 9
Viktor Gykores please
Hi Charles, although it's not mentioned in this video, i just think it's worth noting that Ben White would have started every game for England at the euros this summer with the way things have worked out, I love Ben and respect his decision but i think its a case that he has stung himself a little bit here, he will have what he wanted ... Steve and Gareth will both be regretting disrespecting him and wishing he was their but from his own point of view, he could have introduced himself on the world stage as one of the best defenders in the world helped England in this tournament
Hi Charles, could you see Arsenal make a move for Serge Gnabry at BM. There was a chance of a move last year. He can play the wing or up front, proven goal scorer, champions league experience, still young, former gunner, still loves our club. Another possible swap deal for Zinchenko, aside from Kimmich. Thoughts?
If Martin-Obi wants to leave then fine, if he’s come through the academy and doesn’t want to stay let him go, he can sign a pro contract in November so it’s not like he’d have to wait ages. We want players who want to be here
If I was a young up and coming star at Arsenal I'd definitely go to a German club (or maybe Ajax) given the chance. They know how to develop players and manage to have an upgrade path to the first team, something that Arsenal and many other PL teams struggle with.
When you mature then you can return to the PL if you're good enough.
Curious what you think of donyell malen. He’s played at striker and out on the right as well. Think he could be worth looking at
Hi Charles, this is potentially a stupid question as I genuinely don’t know how these things work, but could a player hypothetically renegotiate their deal at any time?
Kieran Tierney, for example, knows he’d struggle to find minutes at Arsenal and would want to go somewhere else, yet his injury record and wages prevents him from finding a good move. If he wanted to prioritize his playing time, could he try to get on lower wages to make him a more attractive signing for other clubs?
I can understand wanting to get the most out of the contract signed as a player so this wouldnt normally be a good idea for them, but was just wondering if it was even possible for a player to do.
Thanks! - Nadir
And I’ve been singing Sesko Sesko to the tune of Pedro Pedro for weeks for nothing!
Cheers Charles I am for a left siide midfielder that can do the winger job too is there such a thing in the market???? Can we get a right side winger to cover saka and a strong defender that can cover many positions it should be enough if ramsdale goes I like the young italian goal keeper
I think waiting to see how Sesko develops over the next 2 years is in our best interest let's see if he can consistently prove himself.
I don't think it is.. If he becomes really good, the competition will be stiffer and chances are he will be at City or Madrid or Chelsea
Once sgain the players we are linked with has fallen away ...we need a big striker ...
We need to keep looking .
Sesko only played on average 44 mins per game that he played… it’s a very grown up decision. Makes sense.
I do like him though… scores equal amounts of goals with either foot.
Don’t want osimen as he’s too expensive. Gorkoyres doesn’t interest me. Zurkies looks interesting.
Obi is physically much bigger than the rest of the players in the league. Interesting to see how he goes playing against big boys.
Fair enough but Gyo is a baller man. Im portuguese and so have watched him consistently and he's really something special
Bro the defenders in the Portuguese league are disabled@@andrwgoonr
As much as I wanted Sesko it’s the best move he could make. He’ll have champions league football still in a team surrounded by good players in a system he’s already familiar with and can grow and develop with starting minutes.
Hi Charles, now that Sesko is off the table I think we might go for a potential winger the likes of Rafinha or even Bowen (I can’t see Lopetgui sanctioning that to be fair) and when Eddie goes I might replace him with Bryan MBeumo. Proven premiership players would make sense as impactors when required.
Would love to see us go after another position of need aggressively note that we’re most likely not signing a striker. Someone like Eze or Xavi Simmons for the left 8 or even a Leao (doubtful) for a LW is what I’d like
We maybe able to deal one more season with Havertz playing up front. He had a fantastic second half of the season. Though if Arsenal do put more money on other positions, where would you consider Charles? Most people will probably answer a winger or No.6. I think we need a No.8 to support Odegaard more. Odegaard was in top form no doubt but i still miss his form in 22/23 when we was able to attack the goal more on his own. Isn't Arsenal interested in Sudakov from Shaktar? I think he would be a good signing to complement Odegaard.
Isnt Sudakov the lad with 100mil release clause?
im kinda suprised at the lack of interest in Ollie watkins tbh,, he is a proven premier league goalscorer,, great at holding up the ball,, good composure,, good workrate,, he is an arsenal fan so cintract wont be a problem,, need i say more??
although i do understand he is a bit "older" than what we're looking for he shouldnt even cost anything more the 80mil
what are your thoughts on this?
Morning Charles!
Gutted about Sesko, but onto the next rumour I guess 😅
I’ve just seen an update from Romano that Newcastle may let Almiron leave this window to help with PSR - do you reckon this is a worthwhile target? Can play in both an attacking mid role and as competition for Saka on the right wing, premier league proven. However looking at his age (30) and stats, I have perhaps just talked myself out of this as he’s perhaps not as prolific as I initially thought! Your thoughts anyway?
Also sad to see that Szczesny looks set to go to Saudi, also according to Fab - what a whirlwind this pre-transfer window has been 😂
Sam
Need match winners type of players, players who can win you game single-handedly. Bowen, Kudus, Mitoma, Toney all fall into this category. We have enough bench warmers Vieira, Nelson, Nketiah all of whom are decent players but none who will win you games and be decisive at key moments. With Havertz doing well and in form, few strikers wants to come sit on three bench knowing Arteta doesn’t rotate much. Zirkzee is an exciting prospect who will sit about Eddie in the pecking order, but it’s hard to get him to sit on the bench if he signs.
Hey Charles do you think Nico Williams would be a great option for Arsenal considering that he plays both wings?
As an Irish man, I'd love to see Ferguson here.
Tough season last year has put people off him. Still has lots of quality and would be a great addition however price point is probably another draw back
as an Englishman, I agree, however the back end of last season he struggled, with form and whatnot, but he's still only a youngster but the major problem is gonna be his asking price I suspect.
As an Irishman I’d love to see Ferguson play for Arsenal in my heart but I don’t believe he’s an elite player that would make the difference
@@johncooney4681 give him time, he's still only 19, plus (although I might be wrong) but I don't think he's a regular starter so he's obviously got some work to do, but he's definitely promising. But really I think it's a moot point as I don't see Arsenal signing him this summer.
Hi Charles, congrats on 100k. Been here from the start, just wondering how that Sesko stays at Leipzig whether you think we’ll stick to the younger model of striker or look for someone with PL experience now? Watkins a big shout for me if you can prize him away from villa, cheers.
Havertz should be the main striker- he is getting smarter and is very reliable with injury
The hard investing should be done for top quality winger and defensive midfielder.
I dont mind Sesko staying at his club its a good development for him for a move later on…
I actually want gyokores or BONIFACE!!! Those r the gunmen we need in the team, presence, power & finishing all elements we need up front. I would also add a Chiesa if juve are actually selling him thats 2 strong players there & when we get rid of some players from our squad we can fill in the gaps in defence & CDM/CAM
Boniface will be away for AFCON every 2 years.
@@ZPSBestProfileName so what?
Havertz was always going to open the season as the starter.
Bringing in a striker meant you can sell players like Jesus/Nketiah.
So the plan does not change, there are options out there like Solanke, Osimhen and Toney etc. But I wouldn't offer them insane amounts of money.
On the flip side, just increase the creative side and spend 60m on Eze to play the Foden/Smith Rowe role.
Ngl, was gutted Sesko didn’t sign for us. But tbh with Havertz current form, Sesko’s a big name signing we all hoped for not really needed. However if do want him next season he won’t come cheap
We cannot wait for next season to sign Sesko. We need to move on, but I'm not sure if there are strikers out there whom we can go for who are in the same level and age bracket as Sesko. If we can't find one, we might as well go for a right winger. Toney and Osimhen are a No-No for me.
Should go after Gyokores now. His style of play and physicality suits the premier league.
I hope sesko turns into a mudryk lol
Hi Charles
“You keep say “chidi” cause you want to give me
That shirt..😂😂
For chido I hope he stays. Arsenal should start keeping their young ones. Look at Barca and their young ones. …. I heard you say “chidi” again… that shirt is mine🎉🎉🎉
Chidi from Houston
My Arsenal Euro standouts will be Trossard, Havertz and Odegaard
Nusa, Oscar Bobb, Haaland, Øda not playing Euro though, enjoy! 🙂
Definitely not upset with Sesko decision to stay as i agree with you Charles he still in my opinion he needs to develop and he at a good club to develop further.
Good morning Charles I think Arsenal will push Barcelona for Rafinha as it’s A player Arsenal has always wanted great cover for Saka and he can also play on the right and maybe even central.
I'm disappointed for Arsenal, but for Sesko, assuming he doesn't care about the club he ends up at, it makes sense. In my opinion, he's most likely to end up at Bayern Munich now as a Kane replacement in a year or two. A lot of big clubs already have strikers, and those who don't won't wait around.
Havertz misses clear cut opportunities which an out and out no9 would score
I knew he would. I never got excited for this one i knew he was going to stat just like szoboszlai when we wanted him.
Isiak is tailor made for Arsenal. I have said this over and over again. Get him and Zubimendi. You will see Arsenal dominate City
Is Gyokeres still in the cards?
We don't have a striker problem, sign a marquee midfielder, competition for saka, left back and another keeper if ramsdale go
Not sure if there was a deal possible where we sign Sesko and loan him back out to RB Leipzig for this season, similar to what we did with Saliba. That would make much more sense to me from Sesko's prespective, he would get the minutes he needed with Leipzig, but still have his future set with a big club.
Leipzig just wanted to get rid of his release clause so next season he goes for 90 odd million instead of 56 million
I'm a bit disappointed that we still unsure what to do with our GK and C Forward positions for the new season
Do you think there's any chance Rodrygo will be available now Real Madrid have signed Mbappe?
Not bothered about Sesko tbh but what about the shirt competition Charles? 😜
We were never going to get Sesko. The issue with us is that we make a hell lot of noise.
Sesko I’m upset but the right move for the youngster he’ll cost us a lot of money later
Big up from Denmark🇩🇰
Elsker dig Kim din dejlige dreng
I feel like Arsenal acting like we don't need a new number 9 is odd. We might sell Nketiah who is not great for us either way, Bayern are poaching Obi Martin, Jesus is injury prone and we use Havertz in both attack and midfield. We don't have options in that position and depth is always our kryptonite.
I'm also disappointed we didn't land Sesko but we should still add in that position instead of being worse off than last season.
Risky in my opinion… Hopefully it works out for him. I also hope we still sign a 9, but I don’t think we absolutely need one.
I thought he would stay. The premier league was a season too soon. He only got into the first team start of the year.
I am not really that super concerned about the Sesko's decision. What breaks my heart more is the Chido Obi Martin's story to Bayern, really believe this boy can become a very good striker for Arsenal. Not a good day for us. Let's just focus on chasing that quality wide player then. Any chance that we might be looking for Takefusa Kubo?
Sesko didn’t want to come to the club with the most toxic fan base …
Indeed a little disappointed not getting Šeško.. saw that Gyokeres has better numbers than him - so we shd go for him with full force - pay the £80m to get him.
Good news in regards to the Sesko situation tbh. Arsenal are finally in a position where we are competing for the top trophies. Going for the easy option and signing an affordable young project striker wouldn't have got us over the line TBH. Sign a player who gets us over the line.
VERY WELL SAID 👏
Ok…names???
@@waynemarshall8836 Isak is the one and only
Osimen will win us wat we need .
Man city showed how important it is to have 2 great goalkeepers last season. Even Scot Carson is decent as number 3.
Hope Ramsdale stays and gets silverwares with Arsenal!
ESR won’t be heading to Villa since they’ve already signed Ross Barkley for a cut price deal too.
But why obi going to Bayarn ,sent on loan to is even Better, because is promised properly for Arsenal
Don’t gass up that kid too much you realise his playing with boys so much smaller than him, once he reaches first team it will level out mark my word, just remember what Eddie used to do in academy not just Eddie even balagun
It always looked like agent talk to grt a new contract
If the striker market isn’t right for Arsenal this summer I can see us waiting. As you say Charles, investing heavily in a wide forward could be the best play. If Zirkzee joins Milan like the rumours suggest, I could see us going in for Leao. What’s your thoughts?
Leao is too expensive, so i dont think so. Maybe Ansu Fati on loan is doable?
Leao is so overrated
@@Clarke-n9d I don’t think so, had a look recently and has put up similar numbers to saka this year. Not just goals and assists.
