In the end, it was a frustrating transfer window for Arsenal fans, who were desperate by the club to carry at least a new attacker.
They looked, with more intensity in Ollie WatkinsBut in the end they kept their powder dry and chose to wait in the summer, instead of moving for someone who wasn’t too convinced.
Only time will say if this will end up being a sensitive call, but it is a great move from the club.
They stayed with attack options when they entered the window after the injury of Bukayo Saka, but now they are even shorter because Gabriel Jesús was left out due to the knee injury he suffered in It makes it a cup.
So they trust to collect more injuries between now and the end of the season. If they do, they will have real problems. Especially if they lose Kai Hartz for any period of time.
It is basically the only option they have when playing at the center. Leandro Trosard can play with a push, but now it is almost a bust or bust until May and this will make huge demands, both mentally and physically.
Mikel Arteta does not really have an option to give it a breath and I think it’s a real problem. A great player is asked to have begun to show signs of tiredness in recent weeks.
I am sure that Arteta will defend the club’s lack of activity in the transfer market and some of its reasoning to keep your hands in your pockets are understandable.
Now they are the worst of their congestion and the hope is that Saka will return in March. They also believe that Ethan Nwaneri has appeared as a real Getter goal this season.
And there was a fear that whatever they do now could seriously affect their summer plans, when their main goals will be easier to secure.
But still, Arteta must be disappointed in the failure of strengthening. He has not made a secret of the fact that he believes that his workforce has needed help. He has constantly said that throughout his press conferences in January.
He has now been with the attack options limited to the season, knowing that he will have to try to squeeze almost every last drop of energy. Is far from an ideal situation
How close to Arsenal until January of the transfer of window sheets?
In my understanding, they were never so close to signing an attacker in January. There was A real interest in Watkins late in the windowBut never really at the price Aston Villa would have been looking for.
If the town returned to the table for the past two days, I think Arsenal would have tried to do something closer to its rate of 40 million pound Sold Jhon Duran.
There were many talks about Mathys Tel, but I was told that he never got out of the ground. There were some conversations given its obvious availability, but Arsenal focused more on exploring movements for a striker outside and out, instead of a striker who can play centrally but prefer to play left , since they already believed that they are well provided in this area.
