Gyokeres is an absolute no-brainer when it comes to the profile up top that Alex says we're missing. The guy can score every type of goal, runs both channels and he has always been available, be that for Coventry last season or for Sporting.

He does look very good, but there is a risk to him, doing it in Portugal and the Championship is very different to competing for champions leagues and prems which is the level we would require. Not saying he can’t do it. But there is always that risk that it’s too high a level for him and for 80m I’m not sure I’m comfortable with that risk, but if he’s the guy arteta wants then I trust he is the right guy!

I watched some videos on Gyokeres. What actually impressed me is that he actually made a lot of his goals with his own skills. He can score with both feet. He has the ability to turn and shoot. He isnt just a positional player that is in the right place at the right time. That makes him dangerous in the Salah, messi, Mbappe style. He would need to migrate those skills to the PL. How much of what he does is confidence based, I dont know, but I think it is a big factor which might be an issue if he struggles. On Ferguson, Im Irish and Ive seen a lot of Ferguson and hes been touted as our great hope. He has shown less than Nicols Jackson. I wouldnt touch him. £80m is nuts for him. Walk away.

I watched both Isak's and Ferguson's goals for 22/23 and I'm with Bhavs on this one. Ferguson has less variety about his game than Isak who would fit the Arsenal system better. Of course Brighton might be playing Evan as a 'tap in' striker but I want to see more of his work from midfield, which Isak clearly shows. To be honest, Mitoma was the player who stood out most in the Brighton clips...

@Advoc8te4Truth 2 ай бұрын

Isak reminds me of Jackson Martinez they're really similar. Very athletic fast operates better in behind or in space outside of the box. For a club like Arsenal, our forwards are never given space in behind or outside the box. To be effective for Arsenal, the number one attribute for our strikers are distribution. Conditioning/fitness/strength/speed and agility etc require world-class athletes. Very simply, Thierry Henry is our archetypal striker for a reason. Patrick Vieira is our archetypal defensive midfielder for a reason. And Sol Campbell us our archetypal defender for a reason. ❤😂

Arteta is going to spend major money this summer on a left 8. There will be a forward, but it would be one who can play across the front three. Rice will settle at 6. Ødegaard is firm at right 8. A left 8 with ball security, running with the ball ability, and an eye for line-breaking passes will be the major expenditure.

We know there's a transfer shortlist Edu and Arteta have for every position/role. And its obvious from Raya's signing, that the shortlist doesn't get wiped clean even if we sign someone else. So the question is, where does Isak come on that shortlist? And who else is on that list for that role?

I think Gyokeres would do better under Arteta than Isak. He has a lot to prove and would be willing to learn. He provides more and better assists than Isak which would be important for Arteta. It wouldn’t be an issue for him to start on the bench until he proves himself whereas Isak would be expected to start right away. The one big downside is his price tag could be too much of a risk.

@joshuasee2860 2 ай бұрын

Btw for me our priority still in the midfield. Our gameplay needs us to dominate midfield with strength energy n technical ability . As per arteta we need dominance. We have Mika bierieth doing well I think he be challenging hojlund in three years time for that Denmark striker berth

For me, Gyökeres is the no brainer option. He’s explosive, smart and extremely clinical. He has a presence in the penalty that is just superb and he’s unselfish when the opportunity presents itself. Isak is probably cleaner on the ball technically speaking, but his injury record is extremely worrying which makes me cautious even tho he’s a top quality striker too, potentially.

I personally wouldn't take isak, hes talented yes, but his he what we need? We need a target man, a physical presence in the opposition box, not someone that would get on martinelli's way. Isak likes to run from behind, like how aubameyang used to do with lacazette, but he started going downhill when he was moved centrally to accommodate martinelli, going for that model wouldn't get the best from martinelli or our attack in general, its not a coincidence our form is great whilst we have havertz, a physical presence upfront

Isak is great but wasnt it Alex who was worrying about Gabi Jesus' availability, well Isak is just as bad in that regard, plus as much as i like Isak i think his ball striking needs work, hes very inconsistent when it comes to scoring goals, doesnt mean hes overall an inconsistent player but if we're complaining about Jesus doing everything other than finishing and being injury prone, we'll find ourselves having the same discussions about Isak within the next season if we do sign him. I prefer Gyokeres or even Vlahovic, i think those two have more consistent ball striking and can fit our system well.

You can see Arteta’s system emerging and how an Isak or any CF fits into it Against teams we should be dominating, Havertz goes into midfield with Rice and Ø. In more even games, Rice goes into Havertz role and a DLP sits in front of the back line. With someone like Isak, I’d be interested to see him shift out to the left in those more even matches with Havertz up front for the duels

Oh yeah, Newcastle will likely be a force to be reckoned with in a few (4-6) years time, but as the previous commenter alluded to, they’ve got FFP limitations to meet *now* and should they get dangerously close to failing those limitations then they will have to sell off some high value assets which is something we can exploit in the short term while we build a squad. The way FFP now helps club determine which players they need to sell to meet the limitations is fascinating to see. Chelsea are learning the hard way that it’s tough to need to balance the books. They might need to sell say Broja for 40 million when there’s nobody on the market that would reasonably meet that fee. It’s a tough spot to be in.
