  • The rumour mill has officially begun; countless days of different names and various 'tier 1' sources; so how do we make sense of the 2024 summer transfer window for Arteta's Arsenal, attempting to supplant Man City at the summit of the Premier League table next season?
    With so many names being touted as possible in comings in the 2024 summer transfer window for Arsenal...Benjamin Sesko, Victor Osimhen, Marcus Rashford, Frenkie De Jong, Bruno Guimaraes, Amadou Onana, Youssouf Fofana, Alphonso Davies, Ousmanne Diomande, Patrick Dorgu, Alejandro Balde...it is difficult to know who or what Arsenal need in order to take them from Premier League runners up to 2024/25 champions? This video looks to discuss with as much detail as possible what Mikel Arteta is looking for in the market, as well as some potential names that will be expanded on in later videos.
    Sign a marquee forward or a marquee midfielder? Strengthen the squad's foundations or add the extra details lacked last season? These are the two key questions we will largely focus on in the video, using tactical analysis to explain the 'process' of Arsenal's summer window.
    Where do these signings leave the long term futures of players like Thomas Partey, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and Aaron Ramsdale?
    Where do these transfers for the Gunners rank in terms of priority? AFC also have other needs to address such as getting their wingers, including Bukayo Saka, closer to goal, maximizing talents like Emile Smith-Rowe and Fabio Vieira, filling potential holes with depth issues in the positions of William Saliba and Declan Rice, and much more.
    Many more videos on individuals and the content I could not include in today's video will be covered in the subsequent days, weeks, and months, as Arsenal transition from 23/24 to 2024/25. I am sure Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar will already have been hard at work.
    This channel covers the entire Premier League, including Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, Manchester United, Eric ten Hag, Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, Chelsea, Mauircio Pochettino and Enzo Maresca, Aston Villa, Unai Emery, Newcastle, Eddie Howe, Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot, Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton and Hove Albion, West Ham, David Moyes, Julen Lopetegui, Oliver Glasner and Crystal Palace, the Champions League final, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, and the whole of the world of football or soccer.

    Victor Osmihen’s output and injury record is not worth 120-130 million. If we’re talking about a superstar attacker, it’s better to get one more winger.

    the way I see it between choosing a midfield marquee signing or a forward of the same magnitude is basically choosing between making our team even more perfect (as we had been in 23/24) OR getting ourselves that finisher/gamebreaker that cancels out our dips in quality/variance in performance.
    ideally we do both in the next few windows

    • @harveygration
      @harveygration  Месяц назад +3

      Really like that. Think part of my thinking is you can buy game breakers across the pitch or but forwards with those specific qualities without always having to spend a maximum buck: Adeyemi, Neto, Nico Williams types for example

      when I talk about becoming ‘more perfect’ I’m talking about the systematic improvements that come with signings. However, the best attacking talent works outside of that - and it’s essentially how City won the league despite being marginally worse than us systematically, and how Liverpool stayed in the title race for so long when they’re barely a top 4 team without their starpower.
      I don’t mind which it is first, but ideally we complete both - we’d potentially become the best team itw.

    Martinelli is a superstar in the making. He needs time and support. A top LCM makes perfect sense to help him. But even Jesus as LCM can help. Timber as LB will be explosive. And if we can add Sesko, he improves our striker bench right away and potentially becomes the main man next season. Cant wait for next season.

    I think you hit the nail on the head @17:40. Plus, bringing another superstar attacker into the fray when you haven’t yet maximized the dynamics amongst your current crop of attackers seems like papering over the cracks. The transition in our midfield over the last couple of years means that midfield should be prioritized to “bulletproof our buildup” as you stated. Not to mention the array of buildup shapes and patters we have yet to see due to the unreliability in fitness of some of our key midfield generals whose qualities cannot be replicated in our current squad.

      Depends who the profiles are. Kiwior was kept wider and safer-away from the middle, but our other options are more touch heavy.
      But in theory, yes, they can. If one moves higher the other will most likely tuck into a back 3 or cover in some other way to counterbalance. Left defender does not need to invert by any means. An overlapper would rarely do that for example. The closest someone like Davies would go to the middle is left of a 3 in a 2-3-5

    Love your content Harvey! But question to you and any other fans reading
    Do you think pushing Saka & Martinelli further up and into the box will that be enough firepower to overcome mid blocks or the biggest teams? Especially away from home and in the Champions league
    I guess what I'm asking is does Arsenal have the patience to trust in Saka & Martinelli another year to become clinical (Salah & Mane) especially in the later stages of Champions league
    I know they are young but time will tell! Another trophy less season for this squad and players like Saliba will question especially if Madrid come calling...

    • @harveygration
      @harveygration  Месяц назад +1

      It’s a great question, and my answer would be this…
      I truly believe inside the penalty box Martinelli is our best finisher (can open up, strike cleanly off both feet, supreme potential in the air, movement etc). It’s just about making him our volume shooter, the finish point for our attacks.
      As for the UCL knockouts, I also agree with you. We need a moments player. Someone who can generate 1-3 per season in the crucial moments. But I don’t think this has to come exclusively in the forward line or for mega mega bucks (although it can and I’m not gonna complain if it does😂).
      I truly believe though platforming our wide men while adding incredible progressors to access then in our BUILD-UP is the best solution for this window. What do u think?

      Obviously totally subjective and depends on your definition of project (i take it as a collaborative and calculated estimate towards long term success)…but…

      2. City (if no charges)
      3. Chelsea (under Maresca: lots of good principles, club need to fully commit though and just ALLOW THE SQUAD TO DEVELOP)
      4. Liverpool, Spurs, United.
      It’s all totally dependent on so many factors though. INEOS just have to give United a capable structure on and off pitch, Ange has definitely T3 potential for league position, and for Slot at Pool it’s how his passing game is allowed to translate over a series of years. Edwards back is a big boost. Let’s see if Liverpool take a full JDP and approach
      All sides have potential to be at the top of the league. It’s the most competitive in years.

      An inverted CB creates the same axis but through one of the L/RCB’s stepping into midfield alongside the 6, pushing an 8 BTL, and the L/RB’s tucking into the back three with the other CB in the middle.

    If we want to win the prem and fight for ucl we have to sign at least nine players in my honest opinion sell (ramdale tavares teirney zinni kiwior lakingo partey veira smith odegaard niles nketia jesus patinho beireth Marquinhos) all these players for at least 450m£ sign ( a good goalkeeper diamonde hato the turkinsh left back I don’t know his name Anderson from atlanta fofana Monaco xavi Simons kudos isak/sesko) these 9 players will improve us massively the most shock sale is our captain I believe ode as good as he is he is holding saka back bcs of his lef footed play he can’t interchange or overlap with saka they both lefties it’s they both wanna occupy the same position Xavi Simons will improve saka so much saka can become like salah goal scoring winger who go inside and score more goals he doesn’t have to be wasted out wide all the time and Simons is so good in transition can dribble carry the ball so good.

    I do think we need a couple of forwards (St and LW) in addition to a LCM and a athletic LB option. Ideally, Sesko, Frenkie De Jong and Hato which could cost about 100 mill total but the winger option is a bit tricky. We need a game changing striker, when the going gets tough, someone to occupy defenders and be a bit more instinctive and Sesko is that guy and 50 mill is a huge opportunity instead of spending a 120 mill on Oshimen, since they solve similar problems in this team. As well we need pace in the wing positions because without Martinelli playing we struggle a bit to transition, unpopular opinion but id be very happy going back in for Mudryk for anything less than 50 mill (very unpopular, i know), but on his day, he has frightening pace, he has better dribbling than Martinelli on the Left, can take on two men at a time and he has great ball striking, he can be our fear factor and game changer, like how Sane was able to weave past multiple players against us and caused all kinds of problems, all he needs is a better coach and confidence, and he'll get both with us. A LCM obviously is needed and De Jong is a progression machine both on the carry and passing, and he has always been incredible at finding wingers in behind, also has showed an ability to make runs in behind and get on the end of crosses particularly before he had so much progression responsibility at Barca and he is an underrated duel winner. And the athletic LB role, Hato is ideal, I know he plays as a CB but his athleticism, pace, carries his passing ability and his left footedness makes him a very interesting option to both invert and overlap as a LB in a way no one in the team can at the moment, he is still defensively outstanding and he will allow the LW closer to goal. And it allows Tomiyasu to serve as cover for Saliba and Timber as an option to cover both full back positions depending on the game. That's just my opinion, what do you think Prof? And who would be your ideal signing in midfield for anything less than 85 million?

    • @cwkjr2625
      @cwkjr2625 Месяц назад

      @@Josh890_0 Firstly I dont think i mentioned Martinelli being a bad player. I just don't think he'll reach his potential on the left wing. Secondly, yes it's not totally his fault but he does do things that make him hard to combine with him when facing a low block. He dribbles with his head down, in a straight line, so he either ends up losing the ball or having to cross with his weaker foot. Sometimes when he has the Chance to cut in with the ball, he hesitates, again he looks down too much so even when Havertz played at LCM and would make those inverted runs in behind, Martinelli wouldn't be able to make the pass and Sometimes he holds onto the ball too long, there's a reason why Trossard performed better in the same role, the role isn't the problem, Martinelli isnt a bad player either, Martinelli just doesn't fit it anymore. Mudryk for all his problems, fits that role, he has his head up when dribbling so he can make good passes in behind, he is more unpredictable when dribbling (he can cut inside with the ball without an overlapping fullback and can go on the outside as well) and can get past multiple players at a time. So imo, Martinelli's long term future is as a Striker. I mean, what are his biggest strengths?? His pace, his runs in behind, movements and his finishing. That's literally a Striker's profile, the previous season, he was good at LW because he didn't have to 2 players on in him at a time and he had more space, right now, with how teams play against us...this isn't the case anymore. Obviously he should still play there because he can improve and Mudryk in my opinion would be competition for him not someone to bench Martinelli...but the performances would decide that.

    Fofana is just as good as bruno guimaraes or douglas luiz. it's just that he's never played in the prem. 1 good season in the prem and these midfielders who was worth £30-£50m are now suddenly worth £100m😂
    Sesko is another player arsenal could save money at £55m. Considering how well havertz has played as a striker we can start havertz and have sesko as backup for now. In 1 or 2 seasons with arteta he could be a top striker. I would expect havertz to score 15-20 prem goals if he started 30 games as striker. That's without any penalties which is elite.

    For wingers, Eze would be perfect for us.
    Eze is skillful and tricky on the ball. I’m not saying he is on the same level, but he can do skill moves, just like Ronaldinho, Neymar, Figo, Mahrez or Hleb could do skill moves.
    What amazing about Eze is that he can also be wide playmaker at the same time, similar to BernardoSilva, Foden, ColePalmer or DavidSilva. Again, I’m not saying he is on the same level, but he can be that type of player.
    Martinelli and Saka need space to run into. Against a low block, they lack Ronaldinho/Neymar magic to dribble through tight spaces. And I don’t think they are Spanish enough to be a wide playmaker.
    The fact that Eze could do both, with good decision making, strength, pace and defensive contribution, is extremely incredible.
