January Transfer Thread - it couldn't open and close any quicker

Kane playing as a 10 behind Belotti reduces Kane's effectiveness in my view. His link up play is very good, but I think reducing the impact of our one world class player in order to get Belotti into the team would be odd IMO
Not really
It’s exactly how he plays with son in a 2
It’s Kane assisting son mainly
And belotti can play as a lone strike
But we haven’t been linked with him much lately
 
What scenario would you play 2 big hold up players with limited pace? If we are dominating possession and bombarding the box, maybe. But I think it's quite rare you'd want to try with no direct outlet to complement a big man. Kane and llorente never worked as a pair, except for that final 10 minute bombardment

Your biggest mistake is that you see Kane and Vlahovic as nothing more than hold up players, which I find quite surprising. Sure he is no Mbappe, but then he is no Llorente, he looks mobile enough to me. I think this guy could easily play with Kane:

He has a great turn of pace
Very deceptive and it wins his so many chances as it’s over the first 10 yards
He also is bloody calm when he gets the ball
He would be IMO at the outstanding signing and I’ve said that now for 18 months as it was clear. But to get quality you sometimes have to pay top prices
 
Di Marzio now saying Vlahovic agents prefer spurs, Emirates Marketing Project and man utd. And no to arsenal.
No name player is going to Arsenal
They need to get back into the CL even with more money being spent first
Arteta isn’t a draw
But they can progress with lesser names who fit the plan… if they have a plan
 
@Gutter Boy bottom line, I think it would be complex stupidity if the reason we failed to sign him was because of his speed/mobility

I'd certainly sign him as Kane's short-to-medium term successor. I just wouldn't play them together because I think they are too similar. But as succession planning - fantastic.

They remind me of spurs in 2014. A couple of players from a very good team.

But the media really need to be asking if it is fair smith rowe and saka have never played champs league.
 
Need a better manager first
What I will say is there beating the teams they should beat

Arteta will/would be a good manager, but going to arsenal just now was a mistake.
Like man United they are a club trading on past glories with a board who do not know what to do or the balls to do it.

I agree
He needed a stepping stone first
And he does remind me of Poch TBH…

He's worked under some of the finest managers around, advocaat, wenger, pep.
He has always struck me as astute, willing to learn and with a good temperament.
He could be a really good coach, but that squad is a mess and their signings appear to be more board led than coach led.
 
That as well . That’s the thing what do we address first? Midfield in my view.
Midfield is fine if the forwards do their jobs
The amounts of times lately that’s sons touch has been very very poor has been scary but we have no one else. That’s affects us much more than midfield
We created loads of chances but they needed better finishing for a start

Son has always been like that . He’s streaky. Still argue for a CM first. SB or Gil or Moura could do a job instead of Son
