If Nketiah is the answer to Arsenal's current needs, I'm sure Arteta won't bother looking into a centre-forward option as a replacement for Gabriel Jesus who is ruled out through injury. as you said, Arsenal could have taken an internal solution by relying on Eddie Nketiah as the main striker. or, rotating Martinelli as a centre-forward. what is certain, Arteta can explore the potential of the available players.

It's just that, since the target is two championship trophies at once. like it or not, Arteta has to bring in several newcomers in the upcoming January transfer window. not only for the Gunners' front line, Arteta also seems to be hunting for several other players to strengthen his squad. the reason is, if Arteta doesn't do it in this winter transfer window. I'm not sure, Arsenal will be able to win one of the championship trophies. be it the Premier League, or the Europa League.

Without looking at other things, actually new players will be very good. Actually there are still several players who can be pulled forward apart from Nketiah because Martineli can still do it but of course this is still a bit risky because this will affect when the all-round players can be pulled forward but the position is abandoned it will obviously be a risk and there will definitely be a bit the difference if not a pure striker made an option there.
bringing in new players at this time is a set price for Arsenal and they are already prepared for this although they are still not in a rush to look.

It's strange, then how do you explain that all the big matches of the season (Real, Bayern x2, Inter x2) are lost? I think it's too early to talk about the strength of Barcelona at the moment, because when they play against top clubs, their results are reset. Now they are showing great results against small clubs, but this is not enough to take titles.

@Oneandpure even before this injury crisis Arsenal were always planning to spend in the January transfer window, because after quiet a while Arsenal have a shot at winning the premier league and possibly the Europa league too under Arteta management. However Arsenal board will have to pay a premium to recruit player’s in the January transfer window, hence it’ll be really interesting to see how much will they spend or will they totally abandon their plans to buy player’s in the January transfer window.

Missing Gabriel Jesus who was injured while strengthening the Brazilian national team at the 2022 World Cup was quite vital loss for Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus have been important player for Arsenal after his transfer from Manchester City and always dominance in starting eleven team not only at domestic league but also in Europe League.

Have enough time with UEFA Europe League begin middle February next year, Arsenal have activate with emergency new recruitment actually with center forward position, not many option with reserve player, I think Arsenal have spent much money to sign center forward have the same level with Gabriel Jesus if want have opportunity in Europe League.

Arsenal need to think fast to decide which players they will target after their flagship player is injured. Losing a player will be risky if they don't have good options for players who will replace the position left behind. Now they are on a good track, don't let problems like this become the reason they can't keep on the track they should be. Their opportunities in the transfer window will be very wide open, they must make the most of the opportunities that are in front of them very well.

Arsenal need to activate an emergency option due to the injury that befell Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal must consider its transfer policy to recruit new players who play in the center forward position. Arsenal could have taken an internal solution by relying on Eddie Nketiah as the main striker to prevent the club's spending budget from swelling.

But Eddie Nketiah has a history of being prone to knee injuries, making Arteta in a dilemma with this condition. Arsenal management must immediately take action to solve problems in the attack line, Arteta needs to speed up plans to recruit strikers if Eddie Nketiah cannot be relied upon to replace Jesus.

Arsenal has been trying to get some names as a backup for him. That's why eddie nketiah being chosen by arsenal as a back up for jesus. Arsenal was also still monitoring pulisic. There are some clubs that have been interested with pulisic. Losing gabriel jesus was a big lose by arsenal and that's why arsenal must get a replacement for him. The fact that if arsenal was also trying to do something better like get more names that potentially replacing jesus too. The match for europa league was still very far and i thought that arsenal will get a potential player to play when jesus was injured.

Compared to Barcelona's performances in the last two seasons, Barcelona are much more organized and strong this season. They now have the ability to perform well against any team and win. However, their performance is not stable enough. To win the Europa League or La League title, Barcelona must be more stable and perform consistently. If the performance is not consistent, it is impossible to become champions. Barcelona's main weakness right now is their defence. If Xavi can strengthen his defense I think he can win the Europa League and La Liga title.

Well, I wouldn't really say that Barcelona pass, because I know how Manchester plays, although for now they have a slight advantage over Barcelona because CR7 after his statements did make everything move, and both the managers and the entire team are for sale I think these things shake a team from its roots, these things usually happen when problems are allowed to progress and are not solved immediately, they become that glass of water that overflowed and nothing more could be done.

The Glazer brothers did not know how to lead the team to better progress, many things that the other cklubes advanced, they preferred to profit before betting more on improvement, and these types of teams are like companies, where you should always invest.


Well, a few weeks ago I would have said that Barcelona was not so good, but compared to some teams like Man United, Juventus, even Roma itself, I think that Barcelona is much better than them, honestly with the problem that there is now in the Manchester this is one of the most controversial things, where I wonder, will they still leave Ten Hag? won't they take it out? This is something that seems very strange to me, however, I do not understand how they continue to allow it to remain there despite all the criticism they received, but each club and each manager are the ones who decide their own future and know how they will act.

West Ham: Moyes can form excellent duo with Gerson and Rice

Barcelona have showed a good level of improvement so far although they fell short of expectations in the champions league but they have showed a different performance level in the league which is very impressive. Good thing the Europa league gave them second chance to redeem their season in European competitions this season but can they defeat Manchester United to stay in the competition?

Gabriel Jesus is one of arsenal best players this season,  he has been performing very well for arsenal.  Arteta needs good substitutes that can Replace key players whenever their is emergency.  Arsenal needs to do everything to remain in the top.

I also think there is  much more significant difference and improvement in the team's performance this season. It was a disaster in the previous season, thanks to Xavi who has managed to revive the team's performance and put them at a better performance level this season. If they can defeat Manchester United in the Europa league playoffs it will be a massive boost to the team's confidence going further.

Last year they were pretty good as well, beat Real Madrid 4-0 when they faced after Xavi took over, and just a bit later lost to Frankfurt, that should be good enough reason to think that just because you are doing good in the league, doesn't mean that you will do great in europa or UCL, look at City and PSG, they dominated the league and then lost, look at Bayern and how they lost last year, all in all just because you are doing great in the league doesn't mean other competitions would be great.

All in all I am expecting them to be doing fine, but not going to guarantee anything for them neither, it is going to be easy enough to tell if they will be good or not.

Arsenal want to make double this season actually. They are aiming the Premier League and Europa League titles both now. Because their run in the Premier League also has been very impressive. They just need to keep this motivation level for the rest of the season as well. Their team performance has been really fascinating in both tournaments.

Jesus' injury is a big hit to them maybe but hopefully they will handle the situation well anyway. The team chemistry should stay high and this would still be enough for them to continue winning most of their games one by one.

Barcelona must first beat Manchester United in the play-offs before they advance to the last 16. Their task is very difficult to beat Manchester United. Likewise with Manchester United, they will be very difficult to beat Barcelona in this round. Moreover, we must first see their performance after returning from the World Cup.
Arsenal are promising, but it won't be that easy to win in the end. Moreover, maybe there will be many surprises that we will see from the clubs that compete here. Usually the big teams in the European League often lose to clubs that are not the favourites.

Arsenal's aim this season is to win the Europa league.They lost just one in the last concluded group stage,and came out ontop of their group.Indeed Mikel Arteta is is building a team capable of winning trophies,and they are proving to everyone that they are capable of winning the league.Arsenal is ontop of the premier league table,topping Manchester city that are in second place  with five points clear.
The Arsenal young lads who are determined to remain ontop of the table will be without their key striker Gabriel Jesus as they resume game by December 26,as they take on West Ham.Nketiah will deputise for him,and hopefully Arsenal wins that game.It won't be bad if Arsenal win both the Europa league and the Premier league.

Each club has the opportunity to win the Europa League this season and regardless of the big name of the club, there will definitely be those who are eliminated later. So arsenal, barcelona, Manchester united and juventus all don't necessarily win this European league title. There are names like Sevilla, Ajax, As Roma and PSV that should be watched out for in this title race, so it's still a long way to go and it's still difficult to determine who will win the European league later.

That's the point, no matter how strong they are in coaching they are good enough now when Xavi is there it will still feel in vain when they fail in the Champions League group phase for 2 seasons in a row.
We have to realize that the benchmark is for them apart from La Liga there is the Champions League because this is like something that is mandatory for them so when they fail in the champions League and if they come back to number 2 in La Liga still this can be said not to go well good for Barcelona.

Remember that there is another drawing to be made to determine the last 16 match and everything is still possible including Barcelona vs Arsenal if indeed Barcelona can qualify from the playoff round against Manchester United. Now predicting who will win the title is very difficult because the Europa League is still very far from the final, so it may be true that it is still early enough to determine which team will win the title.

All teams will be very focused on winning matches, so no one should underestimate anyone there. Barcelona and Manchester United will fight to qualify, but I support Barcelona to get into the last 16.
