Chapter 706 - 13: Isabella’s Euphoria! Arsenal’s Moves in the Transfer Market! Ma’el’s ’Temptation’!

"He might not be the best, but he’s definitely top-tier. A score of 4.5 is a mark of respect for him... of course, considering the factor that Kyle Walker can swing over."

"..."

"After talking about the defense, let’s look at the midfield. There are many specialized positions here, like the No. 6, No. 8, No. 10, etc., but I want to summarize them."

"From the perspective of defensive toughness, Arsenal is definitely not lacking. They have Alexander Song, Arteta, Frimpong, and Gilbert who has returned to the team."

"This allows them to easily deploy a double defensive midfielder formation when needed, with a certain bench depth and competitiveness."

"Including Rosicky, Chamberlain, and Coquelin who was out last season due to injury, although some of them are technical midfielders, their defensive toughness is equally strong. Especially the young General Coquelin, he will be a point worth looking forward to next season."

"Looking at the offense, Ramsey, Rosicky, the newly signed Cazorla, and the potentially joining Oscar, these people will provide ample attacking talent and creativity."

"They may lack a bit of star power, but aside from the midfield combinations of Real Madrid and Barcelona, it’s rare to find a setup that can steadily surpass them."

"We are willing to give Arsenal’s midfield configuration a score between 4.5 to almost 5, but a 10-person midfield configuration is a bit too bloated and could introduce instability factors."

"We hope they can make some trade-offs and not just pile up people here, or they will become a laughing stock for many teams. Having too many people is definitely not a good thing."

"You can’t expect the team to face different opponents in a week and pull out two sets of starting line-ups to play. I’ve never seen anyone play football like this, nor have I seen someone win like this."

"....."

"Lastly, let’s look at the forward line. The Guardian has exclusive news that Wenger has long been interested in the France team’s forward Giroud, so I’ll include him in the review."

"As for Arsenal’s forward line... it seems like there’s not much to say, and there’s no need to fuss over the scoring, just give as many points as they deserve."

"Even if the evaluation cap is 5 points, I can’t help but want to give them a score of 6."

"Van Persie’s performance in the European Cup was not good, but back at the club, between Ma’el, Gervinho, and Walcott, he will still be as comfortable as a fish in water, reaching a single-season over 30+ standard."

"With Ma’el as a big weapon, scoring 100 goals in a single season doesn’t seem to be a difficult task, they are one of the best strike partnerships."

"With the all-rounder Podolski this new season, if Giroud also joins, and Oscar who can play the winger position, their personnel reserves here are also very sufficient, with no pressure for rotation."

"If I have to nitpick, I would say their right winger lacks strength; Gervinho and Walcott seem not to be on the same level as Ma’el and Van Persie."

"If they could have a more dazzling right winger, I think they might have the potential to push for 120+... provided Ma’el maintains his form."

"....."

"In summary, Arsenal might give people a refreshed feeling; there could be over 33 first-team members, with more than 3 options for each position."

"Moreover, these rotation options are all at the level of playing starting roles in mid-tier teams."

"In the new season, they are expected to simultaneously challenge on four fronts! But whether they can reach last season’s heights will depend on the performance of the core players and the stability of the whole team."

"....."

After completing his recovery training on June 27, Ma’el came across this news. To be honest, he didn’t have many opinions about most of the signings, just a bit hesitant on Oscar.

The Brazilian superstar has shown explosive talent, but his subsequent development has clearly not met people’s expectations.

Buying him at this stage doesn’t seem like the best choice unless he can be sold back to the Chinese Super League at a higher price as initially planned...

But he has already changed so many things after coming here, each star may not follow the original development path, expecting that would be too idealistic.

Suggest something to Arsenal?

This idea was quickly dismissed by Ma’el himself, as Arsenal isn’t his club, he certainly doesn’t have that authority.

Rashly making a suggestion to the club would most likely get him regarded as a lunatic.

Even if the proposal was considered as a suggestion, it would make him seem a bit overstepping and it could leave a bad impression.

"Forget it."

He closed his phone, not considering the club’s matters anymore, as it wasn’t his business.

If Oscar comes, let’s hope that the championship brought to the team and Oscar can make the Brazilian work diligently in Europe, and eventually succeed.

That too is possible; you could say Oscar loves money and lacks ambition in career planning, but you can’t say he has no talent and no chance to establish himself in European giants.

Physically he might be a bit slender, but it can be trained... Besides, not having the physique doesn’t mean you can’t play in the Premier League, David Silva and B Silva aren’t particularly strong either.

When he arrived at the canteen for a meal, he noticed Giroud repeatedly glancing his way, seeming eager to talk to him.

He knew what the other wanted to say, so after getting his meal, he went over to Giroud.

"Have you heard the news?" Giroud smiled tentatively, looking around to see if anyone else was there.

"I’ve heard."

Ma’el nodded slightly and smiled, "What’s the progress? How much hope is there?"
