Martinelli
Trossard

RW:
Saka
Madueke

Almost every reporter being briefed by Arsenal has said they will sign a left-winger if Trossard leaves.

There are some good ones still on the market - Lookman and Rodrygo, so I wouldn't give up hope just yet.

You were convinved in Jan that we would buy a striker

And they tried to sign Watkins. So what's your point?

we should go for Lookman, but we still need to sell

Still can't believe our answer to last season was Madueke.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't even put that on Arteta. It's obviously some sort of agreement in place by KSE and Clearlake when it comes to buying Chelsea duds
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Arteta was very much pushing for the signing according to reports

If we do buy anyone, it has to be Semenyo, if he is available

Thats a fail for Jason Ayto and he no longer works for Arsenal.

why would we sign Semenyo when he just signed a new contract until 2030, plus he's a RW? We've already bought Madueke

Regardless, they didn't sign a striker, eventhough both our main strikers were out for the season.

There is no 'regardless'. Arsenal did try to buy a striker. So Arteta was not blind to the situation. The club told Ayto to find one, so KSE weren't refusing Arteta's wish. The fact he failed is the main reason why he did not keep his interim Sporting director job.

Lol

We didn't buy a striker. Full stop.

So what? It has absolutely no bearing to how we will proceed if Trossard does not sign his new contract and leaves!

But how are we with the UEFA FFp stuff, that is why we have to sell before buying right?

ffp is to do with wages. We have 5 players into their last season. Hein, Trossard, Nelson, Zinchenko, Sambi. They don't want to leave because prospective clubs aren't willing to match the wages they are on, and they all want a huge payday on a free. The best we can hope for is a loan fee and some wages paid off.

I reckon the only players we will get any significant money for is Vieira and Kiwior.

My question is more about can we sign another player and still be compliant with UEFA if we don't sell?

That's a closely guarded secret, pp. No one quite knows till accounts are released. But if we get rid of those 5 I don't see why Arsenal we won't be able to pay the wages of even a Rodrygo level player.

we will sell about 2 of those, the rest loaned

Loaning means the same thing as selling when the player is in his last season.

Inter Milan exploring other options after their failure to conclude deal for Ademola Lookman.

We understand one of those they have enquired about is Arsenal's Leandro Trossard.

we might as well get Lookman then

so we have spent the same amount on Mudwanke as Spurs are about to on Eze.

investigate Arsenal ASAP

Madueke younger and with a higher ceiling
