Arteta looks ready to ignore Roy Keane’s transfer warning with these speculations.
Following the acquisitions of Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior, the big question at Arsenal is whether more players are required this transfer window. Obviously, many Gooners would like to see more players signed, and if properly questioned, they will easily name one or two players Arteta should sign. However, on the question of whether to sign more players or not, Roy Keane is advising Edu and Arteta to shelve those plans, arguing that they will ruin Arsenal’s squad, which has performed admirably with young talent.
“Be careful for what you wish for as well,” said Keane on Sky Sports, as per Football London, about Arsenal’s desire for more signings.
“We’ve all been discussing what players you need but sometimes you have to just look at the group you’ve got, one or two players coming back from injury but there’s no need to panic buy or pay over the odds like we see other clubs do. If you have a good group – obviously Arsenal have always produced good young players – just be careful if you’re looking outside, go happy with the group, look what they have achieved so far.
“Be careful that you [may] bring a player in that just upsets everything.”
We all know that Edu and Arteta are not easily spooked by punditry. Gabriel Jesus and Oleksander Zinchenko have demonstrated how quality signings can alter a team’s dynamic. Even Trossard, who has only played a few minutes, has shown what a good signing he could be.
If I had Arteta’s phone number, I would call him and tell him that if there is a player out there who can help his project, nothing should stop him from signing him, but for now he must sign a midfielder before the window closes!

Bt is that in any article ruling transfers? I thouht clubs were free to sign players they prefer
I think Arteta has a very good starting eleven, and he trusts them absolutely.
But with an imminent congested fixture scenario and possible player absences to injuries, it’s important to have fall-back options on the bench. That’s what the club is trying to do
Fair point Keane makes however we are signing players to back up the first eleven, which remains very settled plus Arteta and Edu have emphasized what we look for in incoming signings with good character and the right mentality being at the top of essentials, so I don’t think we need to worry about players coming in and disrupting the dressing room.
Maybe Todd Boely should get a copy of this article, not us.
These pundits can not be listened to, they tell you Arsenal won’t make it to the summit because they have a thin squad. But now they sing another tune. I’m glad about what Arteta and Edu are doing to improve the quality of the Arsenal football club and are not to be convinced otherwise.
