    I hear you. But I'm still not sure that simply buying a striker will work. Arteta's teams are complex mechanisms, and we have seen how taking out one part can effect the whole. Like I said, we saw with Citeh how they took time to adjust to Haaland, and our players are not as good as theirs. I'm not sure that the fact we create chances now necessarily translates if we alter a key component. I may be wrong, but I worry that the solution isn't quite as simple as people suppose.

    we're being linked with Isak again - if we could get him I'm for it, from what i've seen i think he would certainly meaningfully add to our goal threat (though that's not saying much atm )

    Hearing somewhere that Newcastle have to sell to meet their FFP obligations. I’d rather take Guimares off them even if he is an atavistic brute

    I see some reports today that we are close to extending Arteta's contract again.....

    NY resolutions are not going well so far.

    Hope they don't, it's not justified while he continues to make so many mistakes
