hi eds do u see us signing any1 before the window shuts if so who do you think could come in thabks for all your hard work.
{Ed025's Note - i think you have to stephen, its clear that new faces are needed and at least a forward and a defender are a priority, i can see the mustafi deal being pushed on but the striker issue it a toss up for me mate..

Thanks for the reply hopefully a striker to holding did OK yesterday a few mistakes but he is only young.

I think we should learn from Chambers regards Holding and not get carried away thinking he's premier league ready, we've all got a downer on Chambers simply because he couldn't sustain his early form and looked ever so poor at times but if he'd been eased in rather than rushed in who knows.

Ed i know u said striker is a coin toss but who would even be our options in striker?
{Ed025's Note - well lacazette is still available apex for 1, and im sure if the money was right there would be loads more mate..

Holding has huge potential and is already light years ahead of Chambers. Chambers hasn't shown anything to show he could make it as a top level CB or RB and it would probably be best if we cut our loses on him.
If we were going to make only 1 signing this window it has to be a striker, our lack of movement up front is massively worrying. We've got far too many people who stand still and want the ball playing into their feet instead of making runs and chasing balls passed into space.
{Ed025's Note - its the passing for passings sake that annoy,s me sforza..

Ed i honestly believe defoe and Daniel sturridge would be great options.

Yeah it's always 1 pass too many in the final third, gets frustrating quickly.
Sanchez was a big disappointment playing upfront, lack of intelligent movement and not enough when he had the ball at his feet. Ox looked like a bright spark in parts but too much taking people on in non threatening areas, we need players to drive past the full backs and takes shots or put dangerous balls into the box.
How many times did we get into good positions to then go back or to the side?
I'm the biggest Arsene fan you'll find but right now I'd be more than happy to let someone new takeover. as long as it's Tuchel :)

Apex I appreciate what you're saying but injury prone Sturridge or a player who wasn't even good enough for Spurs. Thank the Arsenal gods you are not in charge haha.

But before can get 20goals in the league especially defoe, he only needs 2 chances.

Defoe* not before lol.
