There's no reason why they shouldn't. Young players like Saka, Odegaard and Martenelli should be even better and they have strengthened the squad. I think they'll be more balanced than last season, not start on fire then fall off a cliff City will win the league by 10+ points and despite sky telling us how exciting it is it'll never really be a race With the FFP stuff in the background I think the PL is in for a bad year where those who haven't already turn on city and the fact that their domination is absolute bollocks becomes even louder Edit - bold prediction, either carragher or Neville have called them out before Christmas in a passionate on air rant Edited July 1, 2023 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Just checked with Transfermarkt, and Arsenal now have the highest net spend on transfers of all clubs in Europe (last five years). It’s not all Arteta magic, The Kroenke’s have been spending like drunken sailors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason why they shouldn't. They've no good striker. Jesus is just average and when he's injured there's nobody to replace him. That's one of the main reasons they won't be challenging for a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Seems odd that they are selling Balogun. They don't have any backup striker to the injury prone Jesus. Maybe they think getting £40m for him is too good to turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balogun wants to leave / get consistent first team football as he is now the likely starting #9 for the USMNT. And getting all those games last year, probably wants to continue that amount of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I really can't wait until Arteta gets sacked. An absolute clearing in the woods Probably has more yellow cards as a manager than Roy Keane and Vinnie Jones got combined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyeddie Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 They have made a complete mess of their goalkeeping situation. Got rid of Emi and Leno, and ended up with Ramsdale, who shotstops like a hologram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Won't win the league with Arteta. Also dropping Ramsdale for Raya is bonkers. Edited November 4, 2023 by villan95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Pretenders. They lack a good spine. Goalkeeper and striker piss weak. They are going nowhere. Rice has been an underwhelming signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they strengthened what they needed to though. Xhaka for all his faults is a better footballer at controlling a game than Rice and no surprise his new team are flying high. They also needed a new striker which they didnt get, Jesus or Nketiah wont get 20 goals a season The keeper situation is a bit bizarre. I dont think Raya or Ramsdale are overall better than each other but it was a bad move to try to have 2 similar level keepers and was more Arteta thinking he was clever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Hilarious to see the "Arteta Out" crowd is starting to form. Arsenal fans really are the biggest crybabies in football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
