It would appear Arsenal aren’t quite as broke as we’d initially thought. The news dropping the loudest of rumbles at the moment is that we’re going in for Denis Suarez for £14m. However you feel about the player, it’s hard to disagree that he’s 1) Young (24) 2) Technically superior to Iwobi 3) Capable of hitting higher levels.
Most of his success came at Villareal in 2015-16 when he dropped his best numbers with 12 assists and 5 goals in 48 appearances. He also played under Emery in his last season at Sevilla where he racked up an impressive 5 assists, 6 goals, in 46 appearances. Also notable that he was signed by City way back when!
His numbers at Barca look, well, decidedly Iwobi-ish if I’m honest. I think he’s cut from a similar cloth. A little bit faster, but the type of player who stitches midfield and attack together with cute intricate play. I know it’s a basic, but just having someone out on the left who you can rely on to always have a good touch is where the bar is set at the moment.
He’s an upgrade. I just hope he’s not a £150k a week upgrade. Worth remembering that when he was a teenager, he was compared to players like David Silva. If he fulfils here, then we’ve unlocked a lot of potential value. (read here for an interesting scouting report).
Today we take on Blackpool in the FA Cup. I’m excited to see Saka land a heavily mooted start. I think we need to see more of these kids and they need to land pitch time. If they don’t, they might as well be out on loan. From the sounds of it, the manager is going to heavily rotate, hoping to inject some much-needed energy into the legs of players that have been drained over the past two months.
Short one today, have a great day!
Gambon,
There’s a few on that list I like, problem being is the cost.
If we are screwed financially as is being made out, most of them aren’t cheap.
Which is why there looking at Suarez.
Unless Maureen emery is a coaching God, and we are going down the project youth route again to save cash.
gambon
Lichsteiner was a good gamble. It was a one year deal at 90k weekly for a Juventus veteran winner who was suppposed to give us grit.
It’s obviously turned out to be a contained bust but it was a risk worth taking.
There’s always a problem with availability in the January window, you only have so little to consider.
This is one of the risks I think are worth taking in January. We aren’t they only ones looking at him. You obviously disagree.
Dissenter
Some people are acting like January money is some kind of bonus money that disappears if we dont spend it.
If we spend £20m on Suarez now, thats £20m less we have in the summer, another squad player clogging up the wage bill and getting in the way of a better player coming in.
Unless we are adding high quality, I’d rather we didnt bother to sign anyone.
It feels like we’re only even talking to Suarez because we couldnt find anyone else available.
Either get him on loan, or recall Nelson.
the Conte, Mancini, And Pellegrini examples are false.
Because they have unlimted funds(Chelsea and Man city)
Or man -is on a very tight budget, makes his job so much harder.
Their english is clearly superior, anyway.
if Raul wanted Spanish -surely Benetez or Arteta were better candidates,
Now we are buying more Spanish (Suraez)- Why?
Surely we can do better?
Emery only got the Arsenal job because of an interview with Gazidas
how bleeding pathetic!
Not one fan wanted Emery ( not one)
The sooner Emery & Raul are gone- the better and only then CAN we move forward.
Suarez doesn’t turn 25 till the summer.
He can have his 2-3 seasons if he’s that good on Iwobi- level wages.If he’s a bust he can be shipped out in 1-2 seasons.
It all depends on what the transfer fee is.
£10 million on Iwobi wages——-good acquisition worthy of a risk.
Anything above that…….
Don’t really know about the Suarez deal..
Was he one of our earlier targets? Is this a let’s take what’s affordable scenario?
I do know we need more bodies though and a player who has been on the books of respectable Spanish clubs and been coached by Emery before.. I see some sense in the deal.
Barca fans don’t think he was given enough chances to succeed with them. 25 is not old man age in football, we can get three seasons out of him and if he does fulfill his earlier promised potential we can get a decent fee.
Dissenter
He turns 25 today.
He wont be on Iwobi wages. He plays for the team with the biggest wage bill in world sport.
£18m seems to be the figure quoted.
I havent seen much of him, but he looks like an excellent footballer. An excellent footballer who doesnt really do anything. All technique, no end product.
gambon
I get your point but if we are trying to rebuild a squad then sometimes we have to take a punt on the market.
You take what you canfrom the market in January and then retool for the summer..
The approach you’re suggesting if “keep the money till the summer” is tantamount to dithering – that’s how we got to stashing £150 million in the ban bank and a piss poor squad.
Suarez is well known to 2/3rds of the Raul-Sven-Emery triumvirate, that’s got to count for something.
I got Suarez birth date wrong. He’s 25 y/o today like gambon stayed.
What else is available in January,?
That’s why managers hate the January window.
Dissenter Its not dithering, its waiting for players that can improve us. When Liverpool couldnt get Southampton to the table for VVD in the summer 2017, they didnt go and spend £50m on some useless CB just to get a warm body into their defence. The £20m we would have to spend on Suarez would be £20m less for a LB, CB, RB, DM, AM, Winger that we need in the summer. I would have no issue signing these type of players if we had a world class team, and just needed to build out the squad. The fact is… Read more »
I don’t see Suarez improving us either. Just read yesterday how Cesc was terrible for Barca – 10 goals, 10 assist on the average per season just in La Liga. Then you see D Suarez… Another non scoring, non assisting attacking player? So we’re going to get him because he’s cheap? Well guess why is that?! Much better to take a punt on a talented youngling or save money for a serious player in the summer. I doubted Sanllehi and Mislintat before. The Mikki signing in addition to Ozil renewal was a big mistake. Should have sold Lacazette and keep… Read more »
Gambon alot if not all of those targets you listed above are almost certainly unavailable mid season and Timo Werner while being a great shout is likely to go for closer to a 100 million when he leaves Leipzig. I’m underwelming by the Suarez signing too but we need bodies this January and it’s not like there’s a lot available. One thing I will say I’m surprised that we aren’t trying for Thorgan Hazard but I suppose they’re fighting for Champions league now. Marseille are struggling maybe Thauvin who’s still scoring?
gambon
Nothing stops us from getting Dennis Suarez in January and then Pepe in the summer.
Cash in the bank is just …cash in the bank. That’s how we got into this messs.
There’s going to be an upheaving squad reorganization. In the summer, not just the starting eleven.
Liverpool in January 2018 may not be a good example. They could afford to wait for VVD and then Allisson because they were the LAST missing pieces of their squad rebuild. We are not in that stage of development yet.
Could have had Auba, kept Giroud, sold Lacazette and Ramsey and have 80m pounds. Add 10m to that or the money we spent on Sokratis and you get both Maguire and Nicolas Pepe.
Much, much more balanced squad without spending a dime more. And that’s not even counting the fk up they did with Mikki and Ozil.
Are we still on this sell lacazette keep Giroud thing??
Denis Suarez can run with the ball if he gets some space but most of his runs amount to very little. We are hoarding too many utility players at a time when we need a couple of talented players who can take us to next level.
raptora
‘Could have had Auba, kept Giroud, sold Lacazette and Ramsey and have 80m pounds. Add 10m to that or the money we spent on Sokratis and you get both Maguire and Nicolas Pepe’
With all due respect, that’s unrealistic and may be more gratifying when you’re playing football manager.
Not to say we haven’t made mistakes in the past year.
We have a renown scout and a proper football man in charge of our deals.
I really think they have a plan…I could be wrong.
Whatever anyone thinks of our attacking options ,in my opinion they have delivered in spite of Emery, not because of Emery .. It makes no difference now good ,bad or average Saurez is as he won’t improve us defensively….. Our priority must be in defensive areas ….our full backs, kolasinac, Bellerin and AMN are not good enough defensively.. Our central defenders are dragged out of position too easily and tend to dive in and commit themselves far too often. Emery must find a system that works defensively , we are still as weak as ever in that area ….I’m not… Read more »
Pierre
‘The signing of Saurez basically confirms that defence is not a priority for Emery so we may as well get used to it ’
I think Emery hinted we are looking to get a central defender as well.
Emery’s teams have always scored goals, guess that has happened in spite of him not because of him in a career spanning a decade and more.
Mbappe says Emery encouraged him to get in the box and try to score more but let’s listen to Pierre. Emery destroys attacking players
“‘Could have had Auba, kept Giroud, sold Lacazette and Ramsey and have 80m pounds. Add 10m to that or the money we spent on Sokratis and you get both Maguire and Nicolas Pepe’” Outside of any finance issues the simple reason the above is wrong is for a simple reason. Dortmund only agreed to sell us PEA on condition that they had a replacement who they identified as Batshuayi, Chelsea would only sell if they got a replacement and they wanted Giroud. To make the deal work any other way would have taken more cash – not something we had… Read more »
I have no idea how Suarez will do but we could be looking at a replacement for Ramsey – don’t necessarily believe the stories about Emery wanting to keep him till the summer it could be a smoke screen.
If we get a fee for Ramsey now say £8 million we would have a replacement on a long term contract for a net outlay of £6 million. We sell Suarez in a couple of years for £10 million and we’re better off than just losing Ramsey on a free in the summer.
“It makes no difference now good ,bad or average Saurez is as he won’t improve us defensively…..”
Actually having a player who can beat players from wide positions would put opposing teams on the back foot and be more cautious in there approach so in a strange way he could improve us defensively.
Yes MARC.
We are really bad at our transfer business.
James
Not sure which of my comments you are referring to but I’d say we were awful, I think the new team are showing signs of significant improvement.

Marko
Maybe they meant exposed himself in a University grounds.
Pierre
You know precisely what I meant – having a wide player who can dribble (something we don’t have currently) will give us an outlet. I’m not suggesting he’ll be making dozens of last ditch tackles.
Offensive/creative players not good enough:
Ozil, Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, Ramsey
I’d say buying offensive players was a priority.

One thing i disagree with is that no attackers will improve our defence.
If we had higher calibre attacking players, our defenders could focus more on defending.
High quality attackers can dramatically improve a defence, and vice versa.
Guardiola dramatically improved Citys attack by spending £200m on defenders, which allowed the whole team to play higher up and in a more attacking manner.
I have to be totally honest here folks, but over these past few weeks my feelings towards Emery and his general methods and philosophies have started to ebb and flow a little bit too much for my liking. Doubts about his tactical prowess and team/player structures started to surface a while back, even during our unbeaten run. I know it’s still early days, but being so desperate for change should not blind us to the fact that Emery may not necessarily be the long term solution to our problems. If Emery took the job because he felt comfortable working under… Read more »
Saurez looks a decent player ,good technically but whether he is strong enough on the ball to provide an outlet is debatable….
Marko I disagree that we just need bodies in there. We already have a whole squad full of squad level players. In the AM positions we already have squad players. Iwobi & Mykhitaryan. We need better quality players that will mean they only play a squad role. I dont even think teams like Everton would be interested in Suarez. In his best season at Villareal, he contributed less than 4 attacking actions per game (Shot, Key Pass or Dribble). Thats well below even Iwobi levels. Buying Suarez will mean our summer budget is £20m lower, with less room to manouvre… Read more »
gambon
Suarez is way better than Iwobi. You make great arguments with stats, but sometimes you need to watch a player. Barcelona would never in a million years be interested in an Alex Iwobi and for good reason. None of which is to say that Suarez is the bees’ knees or “the answer”; but he’s a good player and he could provide us with exactly the kind of CAM play we need.
Dilettante.
Graham “the fact that Emery may not necessarily be the long term solution to our problems” I too see some issues with Emery. However, his task is to get us back into the CL, not to win the league. If he doesn’t get us top four this season, then we can re-think in the summer. If he has moved us in the right direction and we think he’ll secure CL in his second year, maybe we keep him. If we don’t see him doing this, we should sign a smarter manager. But I don’t get the sky-is-falling-Emery-is-not-the-guy-we-are-in-a-world-of-shit narrative that some… Read more »
Pierre That’s a funny question for you to ask given that you’ve been arguing that one of the reasons we lose control of games and put pressure on our defense is our lack of quality in midfield and our inability to control possession. While Denis Suarez my not be the apple of everyone here’s eye, he is a quick, technical and tidy player and can definitely help us keep possession (both in the middle of the field and in the attacking third). It seems to me you should be one of the first to say that improving our midfield will… Read more »
Bamford Im not sure how 2 goals and 3 assists per season is the kind of CAM play we need.

Who do we take out of our team, and replace Suarez with, to see any improvement? We are at a 5 year low for both shots and goals conceded. The reason is we arent creating enough chances, and we are allowing too many shots on our goal.… Read more »

“In his best season at Villareal, he contributed less than 4 attacking actions per game (Shot, Key Pass or Dribble).”
Numbers mean fuck all.
I’m sure Ozil’s numbers had you drooling at the prospect of signing him.
Di Maria’s numbers would have foxed you into signing this tool too.
Suarez has to be better than Iwobi, who is gash imo. We should not be so quick to sneer at new players. Sometimes a new environment just clicks and makes a player thrive. No one at Liverpool knew what they were getting when they bought Salah 2 seasons ago. He was supposed to be a squad player. Look now. Either way we need better options than what we have, No playmaker in the team, 1 useful DM, we need players, or watch us drop to 6th and stay there
Emery, like Sarri and Claude Puel are good coaches.
BUT are clearly suited to their respective (Spanish/Italian and French leagues)
Puels omission of Vardy today was scandalous – once again proves my theory that unless a foreign coach has unlimited funds (City/Chelsea type) or exceptional like Klopp – better go British!
Suarez will be an improvement in our team. Suarez or nothing? Clearly Suarez will help with our attack, offer options in the wide areas and can cut inside as well without losing the ball all the time like the rest of our attackers bar Laca He will bring some pace as well. Add Banega and we have steel, and experience. There has been too many occasions this season and last, where we had little attacking ideas and created not much. A team like ours should never be devoid of creating. Suarez will def help in that department. We cannot always… Read more »

I appreciate it will take time, but when you enter a new environment where the defensive unit has forgotten how to defend, wouldn’t the most logical change be to get them to learn to defend based on the basic principles and then work on adapting things.
Getting players to adapt to a new and, if I’m totally honest, rather dangerous
defensive system, is sort of ludicrous. The players say they have bought into Emery’s philosophies, but watching them you have to seriously wonder if this is really the case.

I see your point. Anyone pretending Liverpool knew they were buying a forty goal a season player is making things up. He was a good player who went up three notches at Liverpool, they even complained they over paid after the deal if I remember correctly
If he was so good why would Roma allow his contract to run down..?. Who else came in for him? Did he win awards in SerieA?. Some people will argue the number of days in a week
Bamford As I said earlier , it doesn’t matter how many defenders or players like Saurez we sign…if the defence doesn’t defend as a unit then nothing will change… In a back 4 , our full backs are way too advanced . The only option is to play the wing back system then it allows Kolasinac and Bellerin to play to their strengths. I can never and I mean never see us look solid as team if we play a back 4 under Emery unless he completely changed his philosophy. Let’s hope that Saurez is all you hope him to… Read more »
All you need to do is to not judge Emery in the backdrop of what happened under Wenger and you can see he is not the man to take us forward.
This Suarez thing does not look good at all, except it is a Loan. We need natural wingers, at least 2. If Emery plans on signing him permanently to play as a winger, then I have no words!
Joe
I believe in climate change. I just don’t agree that it’s man made. It’s a con to charge idiots more money for cars and rubbish removal and all sorts of other shit and to levy additional taxes.
Helps the piggies at the trough.
Gambon I agree with you and I’d hope that we could bring forward potential summer targets to this month as is the need but it’s not looking likely any potential targets are likely at big clubs playing regularly and aren’t likely available this month. So we have some very tough decisions to make THIS month

But he is top quality comedy that for sure. He’s keeps the world laughing. Including most world leaders.
Suarez is like a well rounded Ozil, who scores 2 goals and assists 3 per season on average.
Receeding
Who played better than Salah in the 2016-2017 season?
Like I said, Juventus sucks the oxygen out of Serie A and dominate everything.
Anyone who’s followed Salah at Roma would have seen him scoring some of the most unbelievable goals, a la Messi. He got better with Klopp’s approach no doubt but he was almost untouchable at Roma skewering good Serie A defenses like knife on butter.
Victorious
You are literally the least credible poster this website has ever seen, and there have been some whoppers.
It has nothing to do with Suarez’ price tag, and everything to do with the fact he has scored 9 goals in his last 4 seasons.
Unless he literally quadruples his productivity, he will be seen as a failure.
How many players get to 25, then quadruple their productivity overnight?
Is Suarez a striker?? Why is he being judged on goals?
Cazorla scored 25 for us in 6
Yet he’s hailed as a magician by arsenal fans.
