I won't let the urgency of signing a striker this window stop my excitement for this player. Good to see us being proactive. Seems like we're getting a good mix of Partey and Jorginho in Zubimendi which is great with at least one of them leaving. BTW for context we do have someone internally who's taken on Edu's job for the time being, but Arteta again as he usually does has gotten in the room with a player and convinced them to join our club over very attractive rivals. Love to see it 💪
A lot of copium in the comments from bitter Liverpool fans puzzled why he chose Arsenal, let me break it down for you. Caicedo, Lavia, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Zubimendi all can't be wrong, You just haven't got the pull your deluded fan base thinks it does. Martin Zubimendi probably thought his style of play suited Arsenal more and between Arne Slot and his Basque region companion Mikel Arteta, he simply chose his fellow spaniard. Stop crying about it and make sure you don't epically bottle the league for the second consecutive year, remember you lot were 11 clear at some point in late November and that gap will come down to 4 after Arsenal beat Spurs at The Emirates on wednesday night. Buckle up
Obvious upgrade to jorginho, yes. To partey, not so obvious. Partey has been our best midfielder since he joined. Only Rodri in the PL has been a better 6 imo. Yes he's getting on a bit now, but still been our best midfielder this season once again. It's the right time to switch to Zubi though.
If arsenal manage to sign a great striker and left winger we are definitely looking at a team that has the potential to alot of trophies! Havertz in the striker position is not good enough at all when it comes to finishing, and his confidence is way too fragile. When Havertz has a couple of bad games in a row his confidence hits rock bottom and he keep playing bad, most other players can bounce back and regain /not lose their confidence like that, but this guys confidence is way too fragile and fleeting to trust longterm! And Martinelli on the left is bang average, honestly i see him in a 10-15 place club! Get in someone like Isak/Gyokeres/Vlahovic and Kvaratskhelia/Leao/Lookman/Gordon on the left and this arsenal team will be set for success!
Good strategy. Buy a guy for 30 million who’s average just to get a player for his buy out clause. Arsenal really are great at transfers that 65 million for havertz instead of isak is looking great business aswell 😂
I think the meltdown in Arsenal base right now is purely based on result with Manchester United. All of us see that this season is not really going well for us: bad summer window, injuries, players fatiqued after two lost title races. We all knew that FA cup and Carabo cup could be something to hold on if we end up with slightly worst season. But Arteta made a lot of good decions during his years and it would be real shame to scratch it right now and start all over again. There could be some title winners in first seasons like Mourinho, Conte and maybe Slot? But the right aproach is going to be always buy and sell players proactively and not as a reaction when season go bad.
Of the 3 players I think would make Arsenal a title winning side, Zubimendi was one. The others being Kvaratskhelia and Sesko or Gyokeres. I still hold out hope for the others but it seems unlikely.
Didn't Zubimendi just reject Liverpool last summer, saying he decided he wanted to stay at Sociedad forever? Guess that was just bs, and it seemingly indicates, oddly enough, Arsenal's pull vs Liverpool. Neutral here btw.
Nah,real are shit which is why he’s leaving and it’s a transfer next season. Liverpool wanted him this season and he wanted to give another year to real. Liverpool haven’t gone back in for him as why would you want someone who doesn’t know what they want! He also rejected Arsenal when they first went for him. Good signing though just odd signing when a striker and a winger should be top priority.
A lot of misinformation & waffle in this vid: - You can find reports from August clearly stating Arteta asked Zubimendi to sit tight till next summer. It's not a case of everybody else went home & Arsenal went in. - Arsenal's position itl is because of injuries & Referees deciding that Rice tapping the ball, Trossard kicking it within 0.1 seconds & a head clash needs to be treated differently than other teams. This is without mentioning Saliba's red compared to Tosin and VDV and Ref blowing the whistle randomly when Arsenal were about to score against Liverpool. - Zubimendi is an Ødegaard replacement.
@themanmachine125 Never said otherwise. Just objectively pointed out why he was wrong on multiple occasions in this particular vid. Didn't disrespect him or anything.
All these vids if this doesn't happen in 6 months then boy (im confident it doesn't have 0 faith in our owners) Why has this news come out now when every arsenal fans is putting pressure on owners to get a STRIKER/LW. This news stinks of keeping the fans silent for 6 months to distract them from the real issues of their attack. As an Arsenal fan i will never put anything like this past the Kroenke ownership who are master manipulators
Actually, he might be bringing back the 4231 formation, with a traditional 10 and an overlapping left back( thats why we are linked with Davies from Bayern), i think
How is it strange? Did this transfer have a caveat with it saying “this is the only transfer and there will be no strikers” ? It’s obvious there’ll be bringing in a forward this window
Makes no sense - why would Zubamendi actually sign for Arsenal over Liverpool unless he thinks he’s not good enough. I get why he wouldn’t want to play second fiddle to Rhodri but Arsenal, seriously.
because some people can think of the big picture and see how they fit into an overall project. not everyone is a goldfish brained social media simpleton. just last season liverpool’s title challenge completely collapsed and they finished a distant 3rd, now you’re trying to act like they’re a million miles ahead of arsenal?
Did Liverpool drop all interest in Zubimendi? Or did he believe that he'd struggle getting into the Liverpool team every week? It seems odd that he'd choose Arsenal with many of their fans giving up on Arteta.
Zubimendi was their top target I'm sure he would not struggle to play if he joined Liverpool. I think he just wanted another season at Soceidad and Arteta was very persistent with him

Yup, we down to 4 points
Honestly Liverpool should be further ahead given how much we've been stumbling
Liverpool were 5 points clear last season not 11
This was choreographed dude. Merino goes and then he goes. Spanish coach. That article in the Athletic is damning of Hughes and FSG.
As an Arsenal fan what I like is they've done this early no fkng about.
Good signing. An obvious upgrade to Partey & Jorginho. A striker is needed and hopefully that comes about soon.

rice zubi odegaard midfield goes crazy
I don’t know who told you to stop making arsenal content but please keep it up!!!
😂 your thumbnail was missing the Sociedad sporting director who will be joining as well. Kroenke might as well buy Sociedad
Mikel went to get Merino with full intention of getting Zubimendi.

@@BonitaUzABumisak twice that money, Newcastle paid 62m already keep your havettz bias from isak
I believe its james (garlick?) whos in edus job til the summer and i think zubimendi is the partey replacement and certifies rice as an box to box 8

Im buzzing with the signing but quite puzzled how weve managed to change his mind with the way we are playing
Because players and agents have big picture view of things unlike fans. Imagine people made decisions based on a few games
I suspect merino could have spoken to him about London life...
Arteta and London probably as well as having former teammates there like Odegaard and Merino and other Spanish speaking players
Good signing, he’ll fit nicely
If they trigger his release clause now surely he'd move January
We need a striker and a winger right now soooooo…. Let’s get a 6 in the summer 😖
Didn't Zubimendi just reject Liverpool last summer, saying he decided he wanted to stay at Sociedad forever? Guess that was just bs, and it seemingly indicates, oddly enough, Arsenal's pull vs Liverpool. Neutral here btw.
It's the London factor.

Didn’t you just make that up?
@DeeDeeDanone maybe you can google search it yourself first
@@DeeDeeDanoneyes he did
I think Zubimendi leads to a different role for Odegaard. This would mean that Odegaard would be used as a 10 which he doesn't excel in.
It’s clear why this is happening. When Partey gets charged with sexual assault at the end of the season and goes to jail we’ll need a new DM
It was always zubimendi....finally...im t truly excited in spite of our failings this season
Arsenal will get players in every position, but attack😂. Get a striker, Havertz aint it. Jesus is injured. GET A STRIKER

as a fellow arsenal fan, there's really no need to be this touchy and defensive. laurence is a good analyst
@themanmachine125 Never said otherwise. Just objectively pointed out why he was wrong on multiple occasions in this particular vid. Didn't disrespect him or anything.
I think he’s replacing Jorginho. Since he likely leaving at the end of the season
A dm is a am replacement? 😂 you haven’t got a clue no wonder you support Arsenal.
An odegaard replacement? Brudda do you understand football?
🙏🏿👊🏿
Appreciate these comments 🙌
It’s a waste of time if they don’t buy a striker. Always thought Merino was the ultimate meh player.
Always thought it, or from the point you realized he existed?
Merino has actually been quite good the last few weeks. He does a lot of small things that you don't notice if you don't focus on him

Tchouameni❌️ Bellingham❌️ lavia❌️ caicedo ❌️ zubimendi❌️..... but we have a new stand and the AXA.....
FSG OUT enough is enough
So, Arteta wants a back 4 of CBs, a midfield of CMs & a front 3 of wingers 🤔
Actually, he might be bringing back the 4231 formation, with a traditional 10 and an overlapping left back( thats why we are linked with Davies from Bayern), i think
He hasn't gone there yet. He has a habit of changing his mind when it comes to leaving San Sebastian
You sound hopeful more than anything.
Nope he has agreed and gave his words to Mikel greenlight
👍
😮
Bring the Real crew togther and get Isak next year.
The pull of Next season FC stronger than “loyalty” I see. Strange move because they are so clearly in need of a striker.
don’t be bitter mate
How is it strange? Did this transfer have a caveat with it saying “this is the only transfer and there will be no strikers” ?
It’s obvious there’ll be bringing in a forward this window
And also a cdm as Jorginho and Partey will be gone. Can’t believe this needs explained.
It’s probably more to do with the fact that he doesn’t wanna live in the shit hole that is Liverpool…. Trent’s bailing out of the slums for Madrid.
Did you even watch the video
He’s gone from playing for a club that never win anything, to playing for a club that might win something one day (maybe) 😂
Nothing of the sort has happened yet.
They’re welcome to him. Wait till he tries to get past Endo. Good luck with that.
