I feel like it is not about how much you spend but where you spend it. They could spend another billion dollars if they must, but if they do not get a striker then they should realize that they are still missing it. I know that it is going to suck for a long time to see something like that but that doesn't mean that it is going to end up with a good result one way or another.

Just hope for the best and you should be getting a better player if you are lucky. Of course it is expensive these days to get these players, also there aren't all that many great pure strikers who score a lot, the number of them are dwindling due to wingers becoming more popular, but I believe if they can get one like that, they would be a lot better.

What Arsenal last season was great even though they did not have one specific target man to score goals in every match because they were playing collectively and many players could score goals.
Why people want them to sign a striker, maybe they want to have a target man who has a great skill to score goals in any opportunity, a striker that they did not have last year.
Reasonable enough if many people want it and it is good if they can sign a real striker with great skills but if they can have it this season, their gameplay should not be changed significantly because it is possible if they have 1 new great striker then they will be focused to pass the ball to the striker most of the time.

Sometimes it turns out that "tough" coaches who emphasize discipline and subordination achieve success in the first season, but in the second season the tension in the relationship already becomes unbearable and the team regresses. Let's see how Ten Hag manages to avoid this. As for the goals for the season, I will be happy if United will be in the top 4. There is no chance of moving the City.

I dont think Arsenal needs goals, right? Last year, they scored 88 goals, two behind Man City. I can see why many want a new striker, but I don't think it's necessary. Pay attention! Gabriel Jesus only scored 11 goals last season, but isnt it too early to worry? It takes time to adjust to a team's culture and find your position in it, and I think thats happening here. They've added Haverzt and Rice, which is promising. This area is not deserted. Just because the transfer market is chaotic, don't judge. As the saying goes, Rome wasnt built in a day.

I will understand the dissatisfaction of Arsenal fans who say this because you know that without winning a trophy last season they were under pressure and insisted on reaching the top of the Premier League standings until the end. So don't be surprised, even though I admit that Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah have done their best in the end it will always be considered lacking.

Arsenal is quite active in the transfer market and there is no other reason to complain next season. We see that as a challenger to Manchester City, Arsenal must appear perfect, not only as individuals but as a solid team.

Yes, Arsenal's attack line is still lacking. However, there is still a chance to bring in an attacker before the league starts. But overall, yesterday's game against Barcelona had a similar look to last season. Because almost 80% of the composition of the players in the first half was the same as last season, only minus Xhaka and Zichi. After several substitutions and entering the 2nd half, the line-up looks better than last season.

Hopefully, Arteta can strengthen the mentality of his players. Last season proved to be consistent. Arteta's mistake at the end of the season that dropped 11 players, that's all. Where layered players are inadequate and the mentality of the players goes down. now squad depth is good. if you don't get a trophy this season it will be a shame.

Yes indeed, after all, we also cannot expect a quick success from Erik ten Hag for Manchester United. Because after all, Pep Guardiola is basically a top coach but still, Pep Guardiola also spent a lot of time to be able to make Manchester City have the excellent performance and dominance as it is today. Therefore, with Erik ten Hag can make Manchester United compete well in the top four in his first season. For me, that is already a success and of course, it is worthy for Erik ten Hag to continue his development to make Manchester United can have good dominance as well later.

Arsenal have strengthen certain positions and overall, they have been been  scoring goals and creating chances together. They have definitely improved their team on paper, it's left to be seen whether the improvements will be transmitted into our performances this season though. I hope that the experience they gained challenging for the title last season will come in handy this season as mental strength is often an overlooked aspect of the game, Manchester City are still the favourites for the league with then & Manchester United being the strongest challengers for the titles.

I don't really know why some of arsenal fans are complaining about club to add one more striker to the two strikers we have already, but If may say I will just concluded that those fans complaining that Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah currently that they are not reliable just want the club to sign world class striker but they don't really know that it is not only striker can do it alone, not knowing that is the work of all squad.

Since Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah are both available right now, based on my observations of their respective striker performances from last season, I don't believe Arsenal needs any additional strikers right now. I can only say, however, that Arsenal needs alternatives for key players, including Saka, Gabriel Magalhaen, and the goal keeper. Others, in my opinion, have replacement choices for now.

The fact that the team used the majority of its key players last season, overworking them to the point of overexhaustion, I believe, hurt the squad's performance towards the end of the season that their not able to lift premier league trophy.

Of course they won't be lost and if that was the case, what do you think would Guardiola have done instead of letting them go? He would have told his bosses to take care of these two players and pay them whatever they want to not leave the club. Might be too hard in the case of Kyle Waker depending on where he goes, but they could have convinced Gundogan to stay if Guardiola had seen no other chance but to keep him in the team. The most important midfielder is still Kevin De Bruyne I think.
Gundogan played an unbelievable season, but De Bruyne is still a bit better than him in my opinion.

All we need to give Erik ten Hag is just time,  with time I know Manchester United will win Premier league.  Ten Hag is gradually improving Manchester United which we can see it from his performance since he became the coach of Manchester United. Manchester United has really gain success it doesn't necessarily mean it must be to win Premier league first, the performance of style of how the players play the  game is success and the position they were able to achieve is success.  From the energy seen from ten Hag and his performance more success is yet to come from Manchester United .

Yeah Ten Hag was called successful in its first season although not as a winner but in 3rd place is a good achievement, Pep Guardiola in his first season also finished in 3rd place then in season 2 they could win the title so surprises could happen in the 2nd season, who knows. Ten Hag still has plenty of time until 2025 to build a Manchester United squad if he continues to be consistent I believe their chances are closer to the title. For this season Manchester United still need a new striker figure because with the current squad their strength is still difficult to compete with Manchester City, we know Manchester City is a complete team so to compete it takes a complete team as well.

Maybe I reversed your opinion and I think Arsenal have more than enough to spend this summer. They are very good with the current squad depth and don't need to transfer players anymore because almost every line has a suitable coating. Now for Arsenal is to solidify their squad in terms of attack or defense so they can get consistent results in every game. Apart from that, it's just a matter of adjusting to all the competitions they will take part in next season because obviously that will drain more energy.

One season is not to be taken as an achievement but with the club changing for the better Erik Ten Hag has done that during his first season.
I don't think it will take a while to surpass Man City, but with what they're doing they might just materialize as title contenders one day. They have big ambitions, quality players, and the coach.
Man United are eyeing Atalanta striker (Rasmus Højlund), that's what's in the news today, previously Man United were linked with Kane but that news didn't appear again.

You literally took the thoughts off my head and put it in writing. Lol. I like that Marcus Rashford picked up form and has been playing exceptionally well since Erik Ten Hag took over the team's management. He like became the club's best player. Over the course of the season, I watched as he became more discipline thereby setting higher standards for others. Although other people may think otherwise but I think that letting CR7 go was one of the best decisions that Erik Ten Hag took at that time immediately he saw that he wasn't making any positive impact on the team and it was becoming detrimental to the teams progress. Part of his transformational strategy was signing Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, and Casemiro. It was nothing short of brilliant making them beat some of the strongest teams in the championships.

In my opinion, Ten Hag has provided something quite positive. Even though it couldn't be said to be perfect, but what Ten Hag did could bring Man United to good progress. It is indeed quite difficult to shift Man City's dominance in the Premier League but that doesn't mean that Man United doesn't have the chance to make it happen. If Man United can get a world-class striker, I think they will make good achievements this season.

I understand that many people will start doubting Manchester United's performance in the coming season after seeing Manchester United's defeat by Real Madrid in the pre-season match. Even Manchester United's defense really looked fragile at the start of the game. Andre Onana also made his debut as Manchester United goalkeeper in that match. And his reputation suffered a bit after he conceded 1 goals in the 6th minute by J. Bellingham and 1 gol in the 89th minute by Joselu. But I personally don't blame Onana in that fight. Because the real fault lies with the Manchester United defender. And in that position, Onana did not really benefit. And I believe Erik Ten Heg hasn't shown the real strategy he has prepared for the coming season. So I still hope that Manchester United will be one of the strong candidates in the title race. But if I have to compare between Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United. So of course I also think that Manchester City is still top in terms of performance at the moment. And I think it is Liverpool who will be the closest this time around to compete with Manchester City. Recently, Chelsea has also been a little surprising because their performance in pre-season matches was considered quite positive and exceeded people's expectations of the club. But I still doubt Chelsea will be able to recover quickly.

After his arrival, I saw that now Manchester United has changed quite significantly. Although he hasn't been here for a long time, the change thanks to his combination is very obvious. On the other hand, this is not the first time he has made a good contribution to the progress of a team, we can see before when he was at Ajax he had a good reputation, he was able to achieve success there, and now he is successful again for Manchester United and also not forget that Ten Hag is a coach who applies strict discipline to all his players.

The maneuvers that have been put in place in the transfer market will be the first step towards even better results next season, with some great signings including several returning from loan spells. With all the improvement steps that have been taken by Ten Hag, I think it is true that next season it is very likely that they will show an unusual performance, Manchester United will be one of the clubs that will provide quite a tough fight for Manchester City and Arsenal. Ten Hag will not make the match easy for his opponent.

Without doubt, Arsenal's visible area of lack of quality is their attacking line and I expect the club management to invest more in their attack before the end of the summer transfer window.
Gabriel Jesus is a phenomenal striker but they need a better back up than Nketiah. If Arsenal can successfully get few more attacking players that can work together with Declan Rice and Martin Odeegard, they'll be a team to beat come next season

That's true. I have the same feeling regarding Gabriel Jesus and I do believe he can do much better than last season and score important goals or at least be a consistent one when you can count on him on every game because last season he clearly had ups and downs.

Maybe Arteta has another plans for Arsenal strikers and he will pull out a "false 9" like Pep tried for a couple of years until he transfer Haaland because I have faith in Arsenal that they can achieve the League Title this year and also have a good run in Champions League as Arsenal fans kinda missed this competition.
