Honestly, I was thinking about this, and it might just be that Football has actually changed since then. The top clubs have so much money that they basically don't need to search the depths for signings, they'll all play for well known clubs. additionally, because their players are so expensive they can only sell to each other. Arsenal don't need to sign Sangare, Forest have the money to do so instead. It might be more interesting if they made videos for smaller clubs, but we all know the incentives aren't there to do that.

Not sure I've liked the choices of teams for sensible transfers as both Arsenal and Manchester United haven't got money to spend for this window. Personally I'd prefer focus on teams in an interesting position to build on or improve upon IN January, or with money to spend. Surely if the focus for these teams is the summer transfer window maybe save it for then.

Kubo could be a nice option tho and could be a good Saka alternative if his injured or tired. Also both of them would push each other to perform at their max. I also think Kubo could play 2-3 position in our system.

Thanks for inviting us to add suggestions. I’d like to suggest that Arsenal use Martin Odegaard - their best passer but not the most clinical - in a deeper progressive role to unpick defences. Fabio Vieira, Emile Smtih-Rowe and Kai Havertz are all capable of playing the more dynamic advanced midfield role.

The real problem here is that Arsenal spent big on Raya, Havertz and Timber, none of whom were for real positions of need. Raya is an improvement over Ramsdale but not a £40m improvement, Havertz was an overspend and doesn't seem to have solved any problems. Timber will be excellent I expect but their existed central defence partnership was already a point of strength. Given FFP rules it becomes much more important to spend efficiently and Arsenal just didn't in the summer.

I feel like I'm the only one who is quite happy with Reiss Nelson as a backup for Saka. Definitely want a world class 9 though, even if that's the last signing we make this year. A new LB wouldn't hurt too (although I'd be stoked if they just brought Tierney back).

Saka replacement will not only depend on the quality of the player but also on his sync with Odegaard and Ben White. Quite simply, a Saka replacement will come along with some huge change in Arteta's tactics and might not really happen that easily.

Love this series, top work chaps!

I would question both the Neto and Osimhen suggestions. Osimhen has been pretty bad this season, stats may be decent but if you've watched him, you'll know he's missed some quite clear chances. Which wouldn't help our goal scoring issues that we currently have. I also think for a 25 year old, he's still very raw, good at hold up play and decent ball control but still a bit raw. Neto's injury history concerns me, as someone who is supposed to be a backup for Saka, ideally that person would be reliable. Arsenal have enough injury prone players I don't think we should add Neto into the mix. My favorite picks are; Solanke or Toney Torres De Jong

My suggestion for Arsenal: 3-4-1-2 GK: Raya RCB: Saliba | White/Timber CB: Gabriel | Saliba LCB: Kiwior | Gabriel RW: White | Tomiyasu/Timber RCM: Odegaard | Vieira LCM: Rice | Zinchenko LW: Timber | Kiwior/Tomiyasu CAM: Havertz | Smith Rowe RF: Saka | Jesus LF: Martinelli | Trossard Timber and White to invert on either flank. with a back three to help maintain defensive structure during these forward forays. For this, I would like to see Arsenal make a move for Joao Cancelo, who doesn't seem to be wanted over at Man City. Him and Timber are both capable of playing on both flanks, which cause problems for the opposition should they switch mid-match. White would then return to being the designated RCB in my back three, though this does relegate either Kiwior or Gabriel to the bench. Odegaard would play in a deeper position to help unpick defences with his passing and vision, while Havertz operates as the raumdeuter with his height and skills. He may not have the best finishing, but having two forwards around him to play off to should help alleviate the goalscoring burden.

Great video guys

Don’t really get the problem with the rebrand? Wasn’t Tifo IRL always part of The Athletic?

Why is it not tifo irl anymore

Frenkie De Jong, yes! Him and Declan in midfield would be mad. That technicality and athleticism. 🔥

Can we make The Athletic see this? As an Arsenal fan, these are my SENSIBLE transfers: ST: Taiwo Awoniyi: Tall, strong, pretty young, reliable, proven, stays central, dominant in the box, and can create chances by linking up with wingers. LB: Ferland Mendy: RM looking to move him on, very rapid, tall, in his prime, SO SKILFUL, world-class defender, and can go forward. Could become the next Ashely Cole or like Arsenal's Kyle Walker RW: (This would have been the Ghanaian Messi, Mohammed Kudus) Alejandro Garnacho: I think this could be viable, especially in Man U's FFP situation. Right or Left. You could also go for Tella, Pelestri, or Bakayoko. On the more permanent side, Rodrygo could compete and maybe overtake Martinelli. CM: A lot of options here, Paulinia, Onana, and Curtis Jones, all good options. Jobe Bellingham is also there but not a starter yet. RB: Jeremy Frimpong: How do you solve your RB depth and your RW problem? Someone who can play both. Fast, very good going forward and coukd provide a great, quick overlap for Saka and can invert. The overlapping pace of Frimpong and Mendy would give us the league EASILY.

Guys the sensible transfer segment used to be options where attributes, feasibility and price were included. Suggesting FdJ and Osimhen, i mean, come on

loved the old style but this works really well

Florian Wirtz is the guy Arteta thought Havertz is.

FDJ is the player I want the most. Eze high up my radar. FDJ-Eze/Neto and Schlotterbeck could mean we don’t even need a ST since Havertz can backup ST.

Tifo irl turning into athletic fc just like seeing your old team changing their logo and onwership.
