Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League with only three goals conceded this season. For a rival, it’s terrifying: the work done is incredible and the team seems different, free of any “bottlers mentality”. Even with injuries — Ødegaard, Saka, Saliba – there is no drop in level, thanks to recruits who have brought an elite squad depth.
A man stands out: Andrea Berta. He could be Arsenal’s best decision in years. His recruitment vision is not to build a simple type eleven, but to build depth, to balance the structure, like the best versions of Manchester City. Arsenal can take an injury in almost every position and stay competitive.
* Wingers: Saka/Madawake; if one is out, the other takes over.
* Attacking midfielders: “Hadtz”/”Yarez”, with the versatility of “Ez”.
* Defensive midfielder: “Sub Mendai” arrives as an upgrade of Thomas Party; “Norard” can be seen as an upgrade of Georgino.
* Defense: if Saliba is out, Mascara enters; if Calafiori is out, “Hip” or Louis Skelly are there.
* Attack: the idea is to be interchangeable, sustainable, unpredictable.
**Observation**: Arsenal has almost two complete teams. The only area to be completed remains the left wing: “Ez” can play there but seems better in 10; Martin Ellie and Trosa are there, but we can still improve.
Arsenal are now winning games that they would have drawn last season. Led 1-0 at Newcastle, the club wins 2-1 at the last minute; against low blocks (West Ham, Nuno), the domination is there. Sometimes without being at their best (at Old Trafford), the team still takes the three points. The depth of “Bur” makes Arsenal less predictable, creates competition and raises the level.
Arsenal must aim for the title this season. Even without the Premier League, the team now has the depth to finally win a trophy (FA Cup, Carabao Cup), where, in the past, the lack of depth pushed to prioritize championship and Champions League.
Liverpool have a brilliant team, superstars, but the depth is less “complete”. Injuries (Leon’s ACL, Canard, Graenber), Salah’s AFCON, and the absence of some signatures weigh down. Arsenal, on the other hand, have two players per position, which makes them favorites for the title.
Berta admires Semeno; Arsenal studied him last summer and would be favorites to attract him. Echoes indicate that the player, an Arsenal fan, would prefer the club, with a release clause mentioned and a valuation beyond 75 M.
At the same time, reports in Italy speak of an interest in Yildas (Juventus), valued at € 80-90 million, with the idea of an offer around € 60 million plus Trosard. Credibility to be handled with caution, but the intention is clear: add **Semeno** (one of the most fit strikers) or **Yildas** (creativity) to complete an already very balanced squad.
An example of a typical team mentioned: Rya, Timber (considered the best right-back on the year), Gabrielle, Calapiori, Rice, Odigard, Ezaka, Yakos, “Vz” on the left — an “insane” eleven.
The “B team” aligns Kea, White, Mascara, Hinkby, Lewis Skelly, “nor”, Garbarina, Yerry, Mawkeelli … without even counting Max Dman, Tros or Jesus. The depth seems “ridiculous” as it is massive.
“Bura” is described as the club’s best signing in years: super Mascara, Hink, Madak and Nor Capper in a single window, each recruit filling a specific gap. No free star-power: tactical **fit**. Lack of goals? We’re going to look for “Yarez”. Need unpredictability? “EZ” and “Mawa”. Versatility? “EZ” can play left winger and 10. That’s how you build a team to win leagues.
