I instantly loved the signing. We desperately needed a bigman in the front ranks, our forwards are all around 175cms and havertz is 190+. This is the target man we have been begging for. He clearly brings something we dont have. Players of that height that are good on the ball is very rare. He can play false 9 and he can play the ødegaard role so that solves the ødegaard needs rest problem.

[@skip2mylew170]

As an Arsenal fan I've honestly said that I didn't like his lack of aggression as a forward but he's very technically gifted and extremely unselfish which suits us well. And even though I feel as if he'd be far more influential in a system like ours, I'm still sceptical because he doesn't have a killer instinct. He had some howlers in front of goal over the years and would randomly have a clumsy moment or two which I know will frustrate me when we trying to build up play. But I'll just have to wait and see how he adapts to a system that fits his playing style. Should be seemeless I guess...

Tom (The Gooner Talk) described before how we’re not looking for a replacement to xhaka or whatever leaving player applies.

One thing I've noticed in artetas pattern of signing players is he likes players who have faced adversity week in week out Look at ramsdale. Relegated twice then joins arsenal and now hes rated as on one of the best keepers in world. Haverts has a few terrible seasons with Chelsea and hasn't been able to become the player he is. He's faced the adversity and now he's joining arsenal a new challenge a new leaf Artetas ball knowledge is up there with Pep he's a young manager he can get the best out of any player.

[@thierryhenry674]

Adding more technicality and skills into our team will only do us good. We have to build around Jesus Trossard Havertz Zinchenko and Saliba. Havertz is a massive upgrade on Xhaka. Especially when he is pushed up to form the front five in possession. Xhaka is not silky enough to tiki taka pass, dribble, or to control the ball to create in the half spaces against a low block.

[@iainabshier]

We should not be building our team around anyone except Saka, Odegaard, Saliba, and Ramsdale. Everyone else is replaceable/upgradable.

[@thierryhenry674]

@@iainabshier Saka and Odegaard are replaceable. Take odegaard as an example. He is only able to score that many because of our system. Jesus playing false 9, constantly interchanging position, dragging defenders away, meaning that Jesus is an AM/LW/RW in the attacking phase. Therefore, the ST spaces can be occupied by Xhaka Odegaard Martinelli or Saka. Zinchenko and White inverted into the CM position. Meaning that Odegaard and Xhaka can push further forward to become the AM/ST in the attacking phase. Odegaard is assigned to take up those ST spaces constantly, left open by Jesus. For example, look at the very moment Xhaka scored his first goal against Wolves. Jesus is occupying the RW spaces. Xhaka and Saka are occupying the ST spaces. They are taking turns to play the striker role. This is the first year we play this possession, false 9, inverted fullback system. No coincidence that Xhaka and Odegaard has performed well. Because this system will make your CMs looks great. Ask yourself, why did Xhaka never performed like this in previous seasons. Why did odegaard never scored this many goals in the previous seasons? Because the current system allows them to become the ST. I’m not saying odegaard is a bad player at all. I’m just saying a lot of the praise that Odegaard gets, and a lot of the criticism that Jesus gets, are actually exaggerated.

Kai is not a typical match winner type player so 65mil is too much to pay our rivals.

[@TheOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

My main concern is if this was really the signing we needed. Especially for £65 mil. Apparently we are trying to sell Partey in this window too. I can see Rice fitting in the cdm role and Havertz in Xhaka's. Its just difficult to imagine that this money couldn't have been better spent elsewhere. If Tierney is leaving, we need a backup LB as well unless we expect Kiwior to fill that role. It is difficult to see Caicedo go to Chelsea. I believe we have suffered a lot over the years because we never had a good DM until we got Partey. We are also taking it for granted that we will get Rice. There are no guarantees.

[@rj_4mp100]

Your thumbnail game is improving lol. Regarding Havertz, I’m a bit worried about how we would cope off the ball if he starts as a midfielder/second striker. Xhaka was a crucial element of that 442 mid-block, I’m not sure how I feel about Havertz or Odegaard in that double pivot.

[@chiefnkosi7705]

@@rj_4mp100 and the second balls are Granit Xhaka specialty. Defensively, Arsenal were heavily dependent on him in winning those. Another thing Arsenal are losing is physicality in those defensive duels. Also, in that 4-4-2 deep block structure, Xhaka helped look after Zinchenko if someone was looking to cut inside or when Zinchenko (who is a defensive liability) stepped out, Xhaka handled underlapping runs at times.

[@lilliangorbett4052]

I was not sold at first, but havertz really is extremely versatile as an attacker. Chelsea had no real identity last season, and I think most creative High iq players would not shine in a team like that. Arsenal has a VERY defined identity and similar players around havertz, albeit less versatile. To me he will allow everyone else to fully focus on their role by being a link up, target, and creative player who will naturally allow other players to embrace other roles and be in different positions since he can create from anywhere and with different angles and ideas.

Havertz playing the Xhaka/Gundogan role makes sense going forward, because of how brilliant he is, and I strongly feel he could be the next Bergkamp/Thomas Muller in the right environment I just don't know if the defensive set up is strong enough with him in the side if we find the press broken and have to sit a little deeper - he doesn't have to be exceptional at this to be fair, Xhaka's limitations in this regard were often mocked before this season, but I just don't think he's that sort of profile to drop back into midfield like that. I think not being able to win defensive duels in the middle third makes it very difficult to play in the current set up, or really any set up unless a more defensive player than Zinchenko holds down the LB spot and one of the CBs plays way further up the pitch

If he has signed for other clubs,ppl will call it great signing bh it's Arsenal so you know what to expect. Chelsea paid 75m when he was 21yrs . One reason I'm happy is that this deal is being done in the early stages of the transfer season so it's something planned already not panic buying...

Spending 60 mill.for a cast off from Chelsea isn't really smart. But it's ok. Continue justifying

[@mohamadsaiful8950]

the way havertz play reminds me of muller under pep

[@edgarpeter2724]

This is the same manager who thought Willian would be a game changer.....hope it works out this time

[@KaiSaeren]

I do like Kai but I wouldnt sign him at this price, he will probably be okay to good in general but for 65mil pounds I think we could do better, or even take few risks instead, its not like he is a sure thing.

This best explaination I've seen on KZbin. 👏

[@DiffKnock]

Wow, thanks!

Balogun is there. He is the answer... If we let Balogun go, we are absolutely nuts. This will almost certainly be one of the more stupid things we have done in our history. We need a no-nonsense, direct forward, and this was evident during the late season stutter - teams shut down our play and we were too stubborn to pay directly (which when we did were actually quite successful) with balls into the forward position to collapse the press that they had deployed on us. He might not be the most technically gifted player, but he is intelligent with his play and his decision-making is very good. Doesn't have second thoughts, very reactive and instinctive. He is less mechanical and lumbering in his play in the final third than Eddie (all due respect, but his ceiling is for a mid/lower-premier league team, scoring 10-15 goals season). That freeness of movement and fluidity is a little reminiscent of Mbappe (obviously not at the same level). This is from the little I've seen of him. But great players have come from the league and he has a lot of physical development to come yet.

[@commentarytalk1446]

That's where I'd tend to think Arsenal need as another option up front as well.

[@chomalen]

@@commentarytalk1446 as long as they don't let Balogun go. Rotate him through the competitions if need be. Should allow Eddie a loan instead.

[@commentarytalk1446]

@@chomalen Balogun is motioning for a sale as he does not want to be loaned again and only has 2 years left on his contract so Arsenal need to make a decision... Agree loan Eddie and try Balogun in the 1st squad perhaps? Or sell with buy-back clause if possible to another EPL club? Be surprised if Arsenal would agree to ManU taking him or a direct rival.
