![]() ![]() Then factor in that he’s trained with Arteta in a JdP system, which means the manager has seen him up close and personal and knows his character. Lavia is keeping company with great players – which is super interesting considering he’s a teenager. Retention under pressure is absolutely key for a #6 at Arsenal. The above graph shows why Arsenal are interested in the player. The 19-year-old went down with Southampton but drew sharp praise for his ability on the ball, his maneuvering in tight spaces, and his bravery in such a rubbish starting 11. Lavia COULD be that guy for us at LESS THAN HALF. You could spend half that money and get a player at 90% of the talent level. £120m is an outrageous fee for a player with 1 season of Premier League experience. Also, we’ve already been dealing with Leverkusen for the exit of Granit Xhaka.Īrsenal appears to be out of the race for Caicedo – Chelsea seems to be knee-deep in the deal. I’ve been told by people that know him that he’s a humble kind of guy, and all I’ve heard is good things from people that work in football.ĭo I think the rumor is real? Lquipe are no mugs – this is about the 14th £60m (made up) we’ve tried to sign – I don’t see a world where Reiss Nelson is our fallback. 10,000 minutes worth of play over 3 seasons to prove he’s robust. 97 g/a in 200 appearances in a side that has struggled at times. I get it, players like Jadon have poisoned the Bundesliga excitement well, but I see this with rose-tinted glasses. This is a weird transfer because absolutely no Arsenal fan is excited by it. But Lquipe are reporting Arsenal AND Newcastle are in for the player, but we’re ahead of them in the queue. I made up the price to make sure the post had order. OR – we are going to give ESR and actual chance this season? It also means there needs to be a back-up left-sided 8 in the system – unless Arteta think Sambi’s shocking loan move to Palace merits that role. I like it.īut it means Declan as an 8 isn’t a goer. The basic bitch clues are this: Arteta wants more goal output from his #8, which is why we were in for Mason Mount. Know this – if we’re spending this sort of cash, there simply has to be something in the data that is telling the analysts and scouts this guy can do something we’re not seeing. Additional height from corners, more deadly in front of goal, less physical limitations, and outrageous levels of technical prowess. You’re adding 6 inches in height but the same meekness in front of goal. But I don’t really see how we’re solving anything there. Now, this is a guess – he could be coming to be a tall-boy summer striker. Havertz is coming to play and the galaxy-brain move has to be #8. There’s simply no way we’re burning cash like that for some casual cover of Gabriel Jesus (£220k p/w) and Saka (£300k p/w). There’s only one spot that could be and that’s replacing Granit Xhaka as a left-sided 8. What does this sort of deal tell us? It says to me he’s coming into the starting 11. The numbers are eye-watering, some fans don’t like it, but I do… this is pure ambition. The Chelsea journos are reporting that Arsenal wants to strike a deal with Kai Havertz for £55m with a £250k p/w longterm deal. Which makes sense for a manager that gets addicted to starting 11s. ![]() ![]() I have literally not idea what the plan is for the first team next season outside adding more options. SECOND TOPLINE: Unpredictability seems to be the name of the game. Topline: Arsenal seems to be moving fast at getting the squad ready for DAY ONE of training. It’s been so extreme, we’ve just banged out our 4th podcast of the week. There has been LOTS of news on the transfer front over the past 24 hrs. But don’t worry, Pedro has given you permission to joy-scroll hot transfer gossip. Why are you up this late reading transfer rumors? Shouldn’t you be asleep? Don’t you have important things to be doing tomorrow? You do. KAI AS A LEFT SIDED #8 – LAVIA AND RICE THE #6 REBUILD – NEW MIDFIELD SHAPES UP ![]()
