What's your thoughts on this Lukaku to Inter potential deal breh?

:manny: If they are willing to pay then go for it, a 2 year loan though they can :camby: with that bullshyt.

Hearing they're trying to pay 62 mil for him this time around..hopefully we never do any transfer business with Inter Milan ever again, they tried mugging us off with Perisic :aicmon:

I know he is 28, but we need someone who can do better so if we drop off Lukaku and get Ben Yedder who has a first touch, it would be an upgrade cause Greenwood will be ready in a season or 2, Rashford and Martial are :patrice: we'll have to see what happens in the next few months:francis:

Especially if Pogba goes back to Juventus :stopitslime: "New challenge" C'mon breh :francis:

Anything over £50 million and it's one of the worst Arsenal signings of the last decade. He'll be 27 in November and he only scored 10 goals (excluding pens) last season.

Earlier in the summer, I saw Reiss Nelson name linked to go the other way, in any deal with Zaha. If that were to happen, doesn't make much sense, as Arsenal are still short of actual wingers.

Zaha and Cornet on the bench again. Smh. How do you start a Championship player (kodija) who only scored 9 goals in the Championship, as a striker, over a Premier League player (zaha) who had a 10 goal return as a winger. :gucci:

I really don't get why they don't have least Zaha on the LW. You can bring Cornet later on for fresh legs and pace.

Even better, run Zaha through the middle with Cornet and Pepe on the wings.

Kodija is an actual striker, the other 2 arent. While Kodija has played at the lower level, his size and hold up play is better to play off and get the midfield and Pepe involved more. I like Zaha, but he has poor decision making, when to pass and when to go on his runs. And when he does go on his runs, he more often ends up going nowhere and the defence has gotten back into position. Zaha and Cornet are better to bring on vs weary legs.

Gradel is better defensively. Why you think Big Scam and Woy put Zaha up in a roaming role, because he is awful when he has to track back out wide. Can get away with it vs the weaker countries, but not vs Morocco.

I still think you have Zaha as a false 9. You can bring on Cornet later on.

Kodija has more goals than Zaha at international level. :9 in 19 vs 2 in 13. And a better conversion rate than anyone else in the team :manny: You go with the player who knows how to score goals for the team at this level.

And just looking at the bench apart from Zaha and Cornet I don't really see much else that can change things from what they're already doing. So that is probably another factor as to why they don't both start.

I didn't forget Bony :ld: he is just whatever.
