Yes. Yes this seems like a perfect example of MY poor reading comprehension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to play as a 9 and also as a wide player would be perfect for our system. He's said he doesn't want to be a 9, wants to be a wide man Edit - that said if he does sign for arsenal and their choice of striker on day one is Jesus, Eddie or balogun then good luck to him getting his way on that Edited June 11, 2022 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 12 hours ago, HalfTimePost said: Yarmolenko and Michail Antonio are not better than Watkins and Ings. I'd concede that Antonio suits their style of play more than our strikers fit ours though. Antonio scored 10 goals in each of the last 3 seasons (in 36, 26 and 24 games). Yarmolenko scored 1 goal last season in 19 games (no points for guessing who against). Bowen and Benrahma don't play as strikers so leaving those out of it, thoughi like both players If antonio was younger id take him over both watkins and ings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Brentford apparently make £18m bid for Hickey. I thought he was off to Arsenal? We should be trying to sign him if there’s a chance he’ll go to Brentford. Could challenge for both full-back positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the problem with trying to sign Hickey is that he probably doesn't want to be challenging for his place. Yes he would be a nice addition but our Polish goal scorer and Digne will be first choice FBs imo and it will be tough to displace them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mazrim Posted June 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2022 I think some of us are underrating Watkins a lot. Yes, we might need somebody more clinical or decisive but he's still a very important asset to this squad. If he gets his decision making sorted, which is coachable to a degree, he could be lethal. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
