With the potential purchase of Raya, Arteta would’ve spent £601.11M. I’ll explain why arsenal will potentially only spend £120M-£150M this summer with a bunch of sales. Arsenal do have money but if you have basic understanding of the accounting side of football then you’ll understand what I mean. Arsenal’s 2year previous year losses come together at £97.6M only £7.4M from PSR breaching. In recent reports Reiss, ESR, & Nketiah have been put on for sale + Patino doesn’t want to play for arsenal next season and Biereth is unlikely to play so to calculate the fees we’ll get for them go to football observatory as it’s a website that judge’s players market value based on science. All of that combined comes roughly to £73M and thanks to Swiss ramble for Arsenal’s financial accounts you subtract the easiest form of profit of the players by 2 year’s total loss cause we want to know how much arsenal can spend split into amortization which is roughly £24.2M. Then multiple by 5 to get the budget cause most player contracts are 5 years which is £121M. In amortization you add the transfer fee + wage fee then divide by 5 to get the value Arsenal will put in their accounts. So if arsenal were to sign Isak they would not only go over the losses in the accounts but they’d be short of a CM & RW. There Arsenal need to be smart this window and also explains why they didn’t sign and haven’t signed Raya yet cause the financial year for football clubs end on June 30. £27M+(85,000*4*12[to get his yearly pay])=£31.08M/5= £6.216M which is £1.184M below PSR which is risky
RIP Super Kev. I was just watching the Kevin Campbell Show he used to do with Lee Judges on AFTV yesterday. I still can't believe he's no longer with us. Him and Wrighty is why I started supporting Arsenal
Xavi Simons on loan would be phenomenal but i think he stays at RB Leipzig for another year. Apparently he wants stability which is pretty important for a young player to be fair
I want Osimen Simons Onana. I think Simons will go utd. I don't think we'll go for osimen which makes no sense as he's the only true KILLER available .
Haaland signed for City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022 for a relatively low transfer fee of £51.2million.. other clubs want players that can’t even meet Haaland’s benchmark and their asking price are ridiculously jack up!! no wonder City is charge 115.. something is not right City should be punished more, greedy agents should be investigated and punished too..
So strong but not enough passing in that pivot. We are a team who wants to control games. We need a 6 that is at least able to make progressive passes. That is not onana or fofana.
@@omd0 Bruno kimmich De jong are all possible to get. If we can’t get those do Jaoa Gomes, he will become a very good to great mid very soon. Or Joao Neves, Wharton are both good young talents. Ideal is someone who can play both 8 and 6 so we can interchange depending on the game with rice. But passing abilities is a must.
Lovely well spoken words James on the loss of Kevin Campbell. Super Kev was definitely one special human being who really did embrace our fan base like no other. Super Kev will be sorely missed and many of us Gooners are really sad and hurting even though we never had the pleasure of meeting him in person. Just by watching Super Kev delivering content on our screens you felt like he was your friend, more so when he called your name out as if he was talking to you personally! A real gentleman who gave so much of his time to others. Rest in Peace Super Kev ❤🙏
Onana may not be a Partey or Jorghino interns of ball progression , but isn’t that why we have coaches? People forget that Onana is only 22 years old and he could clearly improve . If Declan Rice has improved why can’t Onana improve ? The whole idea of us needing a special midfielder is baffling , because surely coaches also do have a job to improve players . Remember our Captain when we signed him for 35 million , a lot of you were angry saying you wanted James Madison . Look at what proper coaching has done with Martin . I believe Onana and Rice would be the Great Wall of China . I believe good coaching would see him improve . Relax guys
I hope so. Ode clearly had the talent, just was a case of getting it out. Idk if Onana has enough of a baae to build upon, I feel hes kinda at his peak ability already
Well if he doesn’t have the best passing distribution you should’ve watched what he was doing at West ham and checked his statistics cause compare them to this PL season and the last it’s only marginally better. A DM’s job be isn’t finding space to pass that’s the job on a CM or AM. A DM’s is sweeping and preventing any attacks from passing through the midfield. If a DM has great passing distribution that’s the anomaly. Amadou Onana is a good ball winner like Rice but he’s ever worst at passing distribution than Rice check the statistics for all these things don’t just judge off eye test. Check the statistics for Rice at West Ham on his final season in the Pl and compare with the season that just pasted. It’s only a minor difference it’s suprising. If anyone is thinking of a Thomas Partey replacement these are the players arsenal should be looking at in this order(and this has been checked by statistics, price and availability):
@@ikilledzombie2140 there’s nothing to disagree on as aDM’s primary function is to be a ball winner in the midfield and that goes for any type of DM whether it’s a ball winning midfielder, Regista, Andor, Deep line playmaker, etc they just do it to a lesser degree depending on what type. Same thing for a striker primary function score goals
It's been unbelievable knowing Super Kev is no more with us. Rest in peace legend. Onana would be a good buy and Simons will shine in our team. He was unplayable against us in his days in PSV colours.
Onana is like a Partey 2.0. Big, powerful and can almost dominate the midfield on his own. He's caused us problems every time we've played Everton. But I can't see Simon's moving this year. *#COYGsince66*
@@theach84 But he's only 21. Partey's 30. So he's got a lot of catching up. If we get him, he'll be good. Look how much better Rice was with Arsenal over West Ham. Same with Trosard, White and Havertz.
Have u seen kante ytdy. Not tryna judge but from both matches ytdy I cnt see onana having that kante energy+vision+iq to be everywhere every time . Sorry but I do hope we have an upgrade on the cm/DM position because midfield is the key to win a champion I believe .
Arsenal like Onana but I think they will go for Fofana as he is 30m cheaper unless Everton drop down to around 40m. I'd be happy with either but Fofana has more ability on the ball while Onana has more presence, Stronger and is an aireal threat.
Throw in Fofana as well and there is still change from the cost of Pepe! I especially like the idea of buying Fofana + Onana. Play 3 out of 4 with Rice and Odergaard. Better still, 4 out 5 with Saka playing more centrally as well. That would be the strength in depth we need.
Yea. Effing. Right. 😂😂😂😂.... there's no way the league lets us get away with that kind of deal. Certain clubs would rather overspend on that package than let us get our hands on it. Rival fans will burn down their stadiums if their clubs don't outbid us.
If It comes to money I think Yosef Fofana of Monaco might be a better option over Onana, cheaper andI think he is more skillful than Onana but it is only my opinion and of course this is subject to availability. Simmons on loan would be great if we could but if he stays in the bundesliga then perhaps Desire Doue could come in as a replacement? Fingers crossed that we have a god transfer window and I believe in Arteta's Project whoever he brings in!
I just watched Belgium lose to Slovakia. According to the line-up Onana was playing. Question: playing what? I don't want that guy anywhere near my football club
He was ordinary. His man got away and got the shot off that the keeper palmed into the scorers path, while he was flat footed standing watching. Another time his man easy got away for a nice cross that nearly lead to another goal. He was just to slow.
I watched the highlight of Adam Wharton from CP official channel yesterday and I was amazed by how good this kid is. Wharton feels like an upgraded version of Shaka. I would love to have him playing alongside Rice. But I know it is not happening...
Sell Nketiah, Reiss, Partey, Zinchenko and possibly ESR to raise funds for Fofana, Kudus and Solanke/Gyokeres and we have a better chance next season. We have to go big again!
Zero arsenal journalists have reported anything about Onana, funny it all came out the day after man utd made a very lowball bid for Braithweight knowing Everton need money quick. In my mind, Everton has briefed Liverpool reporters that big bids are coming in for their other players. Onana is at the euros and braithweight is not feel like this is part of that negotiation. I really do not see Arsenal going for Onana he doesn't suit a possession based team. this story smells of bs
I really think Sandro Tonali should be a real target. Consider: Newcastle have to sell but they desperately don't want to sell Guimaraes or Isak. Sandro Tonali is a better tackler than both Guimaraes & Zubimendi. He's a better passer than Onana & Luiz. He's equally as good passer as Zubimendi and equally tough as Luiz. He has better football intelligence than Onana and doesn't make blunders. He would do well to have one season where he trains alongside Jorginho. And with Paqueta facing a LIFETIME ban and his own missing a whole season, I think Sandro Tonali is very likely 100% rehabilitated. Finally, that one month he did play for Newcastle in the Premier League -- he looked AWESOME. There will not be any need for adjustment or cultural assimilation going from Newcastle to London. His ceiling as a great player is higher than David Luiz and Zubimendi. He can be physical like Onana and Guimaraes. He can even play box-to-box or #6 switching throughout the game with Rice. For me, this is an easy decision: Newcastle need money and we can get Sandro Tonali for, what, 50 million'ish?! What am I missing?!
Hey im steve from Kenya,i can say without fear of contradiction..your analysis on arsenal stuff is amazing,honest and sensible from taactical videos, reactions after gamesjust superb
Dont forget too many signings slow development of other players and upset the dressing room. In saying that id be happy if these 2 were the only we bought
If Partey leaves this summer, then Onana would be a great fit; I don't see Xavi coming, to be honest. We need a proper LB, Zichenko in midfield, and Kiwior as a backup LCB. This position caused us problems last season.

@@nabeel426 Rice isn’t good enough at passing to play as the 6 at Arsenal that’s why he was moved to the 8 and if he is not good enough at passing then Onana is definitely not good enough at passing to be our 6
@@Kovacs901 well that’s the managers on job to get the best out of the players he has. There’s 1 manager and 11 first team players playing on the field. If a manager can’t do that simply then he won’t get to the top as fast as others. For example when Ancelotti was the manager of Parma he had Stoichkov and Zola however coming from a playing style of Sacchi, he played a 4-4-2 that didn’t use a second striker so he sold him and also was linked with Baggio but rejected him as well due to the same reasons. Baggio then joined Bologna and was amazing; after that Ancelotti changed his playing style and seen now as the manager we know him as today. If Arteta doesn’t do this it will stall his career in the long run. Anyways I agree with the way Arteta plays with a deep line playmaker as a DM by Onana ain’t that player at all. Check the stats for Rice, Partey and Onana
The reality is bringing in Simons and Onana for 45-50m ticks two glaring boxes everybody has for Arsenal and leaves us plenty of ammo. Simons is 21 Onana is 22, but both are at the high end of the potential scale. Onana is a physical beast, not just tall 6'4, but seriously, he is intimidating. We will finally have our Patrick Vieira replacement. But seriously considering some of the absolute pussies we used as CDM over the years. Imagine this guy playing a triangle with Gabriel and Saliba....OUCH 😂❤ And Simons is just class but more importantly he's repped by David Dein. If there's anyone who would love to see Xavi Simons play for Arsenal it's him.
They have lime a 50m budget...that is how far they have fallen. Ineos are an absolute joke as well as zglaxers, they should to Jaddimm and been word powers. But hopefully we can get rid of our clown owners soon enough. This window.has already shown Arsenal owners have zero ambition to win anything Arteta hasnt even commited
After watching the Belgium game,my first thoughts were proved right, Onana is inconsistent. Gave away the ball far too often, I don’t he’s the “game changer” but we need consistency.
Bruno Guimares + Xavi Simmons on loan that's all We don't need much signing Timber can play LB and Thomas partey can be sold, nketia can be sold, reiss nelson can be sold All other players should be retained
I absolutely think Arsenal should drop £100m on Bruno G. Football is a midfield game at the moment and he would take our midfield to another level. Odegaard, Rice and Bruno would be a top 2-3 midfield in world football. Onana wouldn’t improve us immediately, perhaps he will grow into a world class player, he’s a project. I’m not even sure a striker is needed, Havertz’s confidence is coming back with a bang! You can see his strength and confidence returning, even for Germany he looks imposing. He’s a new man and new player.
Bruno Guimares + xavi Simmons (on loan) Is all we need We don't need much Timber can play LB Next season we can sign a new Striker and jorginho replacement (probably Zubimendi) or Fofanna (if he's still available)
Simons - a firm no. Skillful but lacks penetration and pace and is nowhere near as good as other candidates such as Chiesa, Kudus or Olise. It's another Fabio Vieira scenario - looks good but doesn't have the physicality to deliver at the top level. I like Onana - physical, great engine and good on the ball - but would much prefer Fofana
Xavi Simons is absolutely someone we need. The way Nagelsmann set Germany up in possession has me thinking about the things we can do. My window would be: Veerman Simons Onana Theo Hernandez/Miguel Gutierrez Diomande/De Ligt
Nah, this is too much of a clickbait. Firstly, Onana himself according to sources will cost 50-60m, so where does that exactly get you that you could get both? You will buy Onana for that money, not both. And for your information, even a loan deal usually costs some millions (maybe 5-10m in loan fee and you'd have to pay salaries for a season for Simons), so saying that u could get both for that money is just a lie and clickbait, which doesn't suit you when you're usually quite professional, James, sorry to say. This is something we'd expect to read on Sportsbible as a clickbait. Also, why would Arsenal even make a loan deal without buy out option? Arsenal is back being a top club, we shouldn't be nurturing PSG's talents and making them better, more experienced and more expensive and then not get anything out of it, that's just ridiculous. If we make a loan deal, it should be with the option to buy him for a fair price, so we at lease have the opportunity if we're satisfied with him. Why would be play PSG's talent over our own when their guy is not one for the future at Arsenal? Doesn't make sense. I hope you get the message, James, and that next time you don't make another video like that.. getting both for 50m? give me a break, and stop the clickbait, as I said, it doesn't suit you as a professional, and last time I checked you weren't working for Sportsbible.
If we’re going for Onana we really need to keep Partey as a starter when he’s fit. Onana is not on Arsenal level yet and to replace a Partey with Onana would weaken us
Simons is a baller!! I think he would work his way into the starting XI eventually. At the very least he brings excellent competition to multiple players and would force them to be at their best week in and week out. He’s a game changer to me. If we get him on loan he’ll fall in love and stay similar to odegaard. We can’t miss out on him. Massive talent. Has unique 1v1 ability
James clearly doesn't know about football. Onana doesn't have the technicality and lack of consistency for Arsenal. Arsenal best sign Joas Neves, not Isak. Arsenal scored 113 goals last season.
@TheGoonerverse My thought process is, we need to start selling players while they still have value, rather than only selliing deadweight like Holding. Martinelli is one of our more valuable players, and a good opportunity for us to begin shifting our reputation when it comes to selling. We need to be ruthless, and I just don't think he's good enough for a team looking to progress to that Real/Bayern/Inter tier 1 of elite clubs
Would you bring these two in for £50m?
these 2 for 50 is a STEAL
💯 no doubt.
I read everton want 50 for Onana..?
For 50m I’ll donate to the cause

His ceiling as a great player is higher than David Luiz and Zubimendi. He can be physical like Onana and Guimaraes. He can even play box-to-box or #6 switching throughout the game with Rice. For me, this is an easy decision: Newcastle need money and we can get Sandro Tonali for, what, 50 million'ish?!
What am I missing?!
I would love Tonali in all honesty bro you're cooking
Hey im steve from Kenya,i can say without fear of contradiction..your analysis on arsenal stuff is amazing,honest and sensible from taactical videos, reactions after gamesjust superb
Hi Steve, thank you so so much! I really appreciate the support 🫶💪
Loans wo option to buy don’t allow planning for the future and arsenal are not short term thinkers
Sorry but Onana will not strengthen our midfield.
At best, a squad player.
Can only hope Arteta watched Belgium's Euro-game yesterday
Dont forget too many signings slow development of other players and upset the dressing room. In saying that id be happy if these 2 were the only we bought
Make it happen 💪🏿
What do you like about Amadou Onana
You do both if at that price
Onana is not a a number 6 by the way I hope we all realise that
If Partey leaves this summer, then Onana would be a great fit; I don't see Xavi coming, to be honest. We need a proper LB, Zichenko in midfield, and Kiwior as a backup LCB. This position caused us problems last season.
Onana cant build up play like Partey
Zinny is not a midfielder
Well if he doesn’t have the best passing distribution you should’ve watched what he was doing at West ham and checked his statistics cause compare them to this PL season and the last it’s only marginally better. A DM’s job be isn’t finding space to pass that’s the job on a CM or AM. A DM’s is sweeping and preventing any attacks from passing through the midfield. If a DM has great passing distribution that’s the anomaly. Amadou Onana is a good ball winner like Rice but he’s ever worst at passing distribution than Rice check the statistics for all these things don’t just judge off eye test. Check the statistics for Rice at West Ham on his final season in the Pl and compare with the season that just pasted. It’s only a minor difference it’s suprising. If anyone is thinking of a Thomas Partey replacement these are the players arsenal should be looking at in this order(and this has been checked by statistics, price and availability):
@@nabeel426 Rice isn’t good enough at passing to play as the 6 at Arsenal that’s why he was moved to the 8 and if he is not good enough at passing then Onana is definitely not good enough at passing to be our 6
@@Kovacs901 well that’s the managers on job to get the best out of the players he has. There’s 1 manager and 11 first team players playing on the field. If a manager can’t do that simply then he won’t get to the top as fast as others. For example when Ancelotti was the manager of Parma he had Stoichkov and Zola however coming from a playing style of Sacchi, he played a 4-4-2 that didn’t use a second striker so he sold him and also was linked with Baggio but rejected him as well due to the same reasons. Baggio then joined Bologna and was amazing; after that Ancelotti changed his playing style and seen now as the manager we know him as today. If Arteta doesn’t do this it will stall his career in the long run. Anyways I agree with the way Arteta plays with a deep line playmaker as a DM by Onana ain’t that player at all. Check the stats for Rice, Partey and Onana
Does this mean Arsenal see Rice as an 8 rather than a 6?
Bro PSG won’t sell Xavi and maybe he stays another season on loan at RB.
Where's tielemanns 😂😂😂
I don’t see either happening
The reality is bringing in Simons and Onana for 45-50m ticks two glaring boxes everybody has for Arsenal and leaves us plenty of ammo.
Simons is 21 Onana is 22, but both are at the high end of the potential scale.
Onana is a physical beast, not just tall 6'4, but seriously, he is intimidating. We will finally have our Patrick Vieira replacement.
But seriously considering some of the absolute pussies we used as CDM over the years. Imagine this guy playing a triangle with Gabriel and Saliba....OUCH 😂❤
And Simons is just class but more importantly he's repped by David Dein. If there's anyone who would love to see Xavi Simons play for Arsenal it's him.
They have lime a 50m budget...that is how far they have fallen.
Ineos are an absolute joke as well as zglaxers, they should to Jaddimm and been word powers.
But hopefully we can get rid of our clown owners soon enough.
This window.has already shown Arsenal owners have zero ambition to win anything
Arteta hasnt even commited
After watching the Belgium game,my first thoughts were proved right, Onana is inconsistent. Gave away the ball far too often, I don’t he’s the “game changer” but we need consistency.
Bruno Guimares + Xavi Simmons on loan that's all
We don't need much signing
Timber can play LB and Thomas partey can be sold, nketia can be sold, reiss nelson can be sold
All other players should be retained
I absolutely think Arsenal should drop £100m on Bruno G. Football is a midfield game at the moment and he would take our midfield to another level. Odegaard, Rice and Bruno would be a top 2-3 midfield in world football. Onana wouldn’t improve us immediately, perhaps he will grow into a world class player, he’s a project.
I’m not even sure a striker is needed, Havertz’s confidence is coming back with a bang! You can see his strength and confidence returning, even for Germany he looks imposing. He’s a new man and new player.
No way. There are far more reasonably priced players on the market who are nearly as good like Fofana.
Bruno Guimares + xavi Simmons (on loan)
Is all we need
We don't need much
Timber can play LB
Next season we can sign a new Striker and jorginho replacement (probably Zubimendi) or Fofanna (if he's still available)
Lollllllll 50m for both…. Maybe if Simmons the shithouse is just Loan
Thought Xavi Simmons was underwhelming against Poland yesterday.
yes, of course, judge him off one game in a team he doesn't play regularly in.
@@patrickstewart5482 Top rank players shine in their national teams as well as their regular league teams
Yep, he was poor with and without the ball. Steer clear (not just based on this one game)
Simons - a firm no. Skillful but lacks penetration and pace and is nowhere near as good as other candidates such as Chiesa, Kudus or Olise. It's another Fabio Vieira scenario - looks good but doesn't have the physicality to deliver at the top level.
I like Onana - physical, great engine and good on the ball - but would much prefer Fofana
"Bringing in two players for £50m" is wildly disingenuous when one of them is in loan and the other is £50m.
Not really, if that’s the truth.
Xavi Simons is absolutely someone we need. The way Nagelsmann set Germany up in possession has me thinking about the things we can do. My window would be:
Veerman
Simons
Onana
Theo Hernandez/Miguel Gutierrez
Diomande/De Ligt
Onana average at best, bit simons is not good enough stop looking at youtube comps actually watch the players live then conclude.
Onana moves like two Lego bricks
The guy is probably the most agile 6ft4 holding midfielder you’ll see lol
@@incognitoHoncho Underwhelming. Don't tell me . .. he's the latest in a long line of 'new Vieiras'
He completely bodied Partey in gameweek 38, I take onana all day long rn.
Nah, this is too much of a clickbait.
Firstly, Onana himself according to sources will cost 50-60m, so where does that exactly get you that you could get both? You will buy Onana for that money, not both. And for your information, even a loan deal usually costs some millions (maybe 5-10m in loan fee and you'd have to pay salaries for a season for Simons), so saying that u could get both for that money is just a lie and clickbait, which doesn't suit you when you're usually quite professional, James, sorry to say. This is something we'd expect to read on Sportsbible as a clickbait.
Also, why would Arsenal even make a loan deal without buy out option? Arsenal is back being a top club, we shouldn't be nurturing PSG's talents and making them better, more experienced and more expensive and then not get anything out of it, that's just ridiculous. If we make a loan deal, it should be with the option to buy him for a fair price, so we at lease have the opportunity if we're satisfied with him. Why would be play PSG's talent over our own when their guy is not one for the future at Arsenal? Doesn't make sense.
I hope you get the message, James, and that next time you don't make another video like that.. getting both for 50m? give me a break, and stop the clickbait, as I said, it doesn't suit you as a professional, and last time I checked you weren't working for Sportsbible.
I'll rather have a one-legged Partey than Onana
Who is the most reliable Arsenal transfer youtube channel? Charles Watts for me do like James opinions though
Xavi Simons at LCM would be incredible!
If we’re going for Onana we really need to keep Partey as a starter when he’s fit. Onana is not on Arsenal level yet and to replace a Partey with Onana would weaken us
Reiss has done nothing but impress. It’s not his fault that Martinelli and Saka are never injured. Sad to see him go
LOL
@@kunimitsune177 k
Simons yes, Onana I'm not too sure. If Arsenal really want to do bargains then Guirassy(15m),Fofana(20m) and Simons(loan fee) is the way to go.
Please we don't want Onana after what I've seen today.
Fofana > Onana
They are both Shit James, watched both there games in detail
At the Euros. So give it a rest mate!
Simons is a baller!! I think he would work his way into the starting XI eventually. At the very least he brings excellent competition to multiple players and would force them to be at their best week in and week out. He’s a game changer to me. If we get him on loan he’ll fall in love and stay similar to odegaard. We can’t miss out on him. Massive talent. Has unique 1v1 ability
I don't want Onana
Onana is average we need Wharton
James clearly doesn't know about football. Onana doesn't have the technicality and lack of consistency for Arsenal. Arsenal best sign Joas Neves, not Isak. Arsenal scored 113 goals last season.
Partey is better then Onana ????
Day 7 of commenting about selling injury prone Martinelli and buying Kvara or Leao
We need a good offer to come in rather than putting him up for sale.
This is not football manager you put a player on sale and he goes
I’d want to sign a LW and keep Martinelli
@TheGoonerverse My thought process is, we need to start selling players while they still have value, rather than only selliing deadweight like Holding. Martinelli is one of our more valuable players, and a good opportunity for us to begin shifting our reputation when it comes to selling. We need to be ruthless, and I just don't think he's good enough for a team looking to progress to that Real/Bayern/Inter tier 1 of elite clubs
@@innisfreeTF2 you're deluded
Onana is terrible on the ball distribution is not arsenal level
Onana is not good
Onana is rubbish
