Mikel Arteta: Arsenal Boss ready to go ‘Full Gas’ vs Newcastle in the Carabao Cup after ‘Disappointing’ end to January Transfer Window | Football News

Arsenal chief Mikel Arteta has insisted that his side is preparing to go “full throttle” against Newcastle United in their Carabao Cup semi-final despite a “disappointing” end of the transfer window in January.

Gunners enters the second stage of ties facing a two-target deficit, but will not be bent by fresh faces after the window was closed without a new signing being made on the Emirates.

Sky Sports News Reported a bid was rejected for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins after injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka, who left Kai Havertz as the lonely opportunity ahead, while there was also an interest in Mathy’s tel., Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha.

“We had a clear intention. The window is open to explore the opportunity to improve the team with players who can do it. We haven’t achieved it,” Arteta said at its press conference ahead of the Newcastle game, Live on Sky Sports.

“We are disappointed with that sense, but we are very aware that we want to bring a certain kind of player, we must be very disciplined in it. I think we were.”

Arteta: We will have to try something else

As mentioned earlier, Havertz now remains Arsenal’s lonely opportunity in the front areas, but Arteta has not excluded being creative at solving the selection problems as he looks at other players in the troop who could operate in the role.

He added: “We will have to be flexible in the front line. Those who are in shape we have to make sure they stay in shape.

“Leo (faiths), Ethan (Nwaneri), (Gabriel) Martinelli, Raheem (Sterling) can play in this position. Let’s see in relation to how everyone is, moment and opponent.

“But at some point we will have to try something else.”

How would Arteta have that Summer Striker signed to look?

When we look forward to the summer and asked about his priorities for any potential incoming striker, Arteta outlined his priorities for a No. 9 to Sky Sports News.

“With a nine goal,” he said. “With a goalkeeper he stops with shots and does not admit targets. Then (if) he can play with his feet, he can play with High Line, he dominates the air duels, big.

“With the nine it’s the same. But a nine that can also produce goals in that way and the context we face too much. For example, against a lot of low blocks, with a lot of density in the box and in the way, We play on.

“If he is a good guy, top. If he is very accessible all the time is great. If he can produce magical moments, even better. If his degree of labor is top, let’s bring him in.”

Arteta added: “We are clear in the profile of the players we want. But also, I want players who can supplement with other players and the beauty of the team.”

Arsenal ready to go ‘full throttle’ vs newcastle

Arsenal’s deficiencies within the front area were laid just during the first meeting between these two sides when they lost 2-0 on the Emirates in January.

Gunners’ sporadic approach in front of the target failed them with only three of their 23 shots on target, while Alexander Isaac showed his clinical edge by tilting the opener home just before the break.

Despite the fact that Magpies, who now has control over a draw after Anthony Gordon added another, is Arteta convinced that his side can overturn the deficit by going “full throttle” in the evening.

He said, “When you compare the team’s emotional state, way of defeating and how it happened is different now.

“We’ve had some good winnings, especially the last one against Man City. After this game we have a break, it’s full throttle. We’ll approach the best way to be in the final.

“They are difficult games. We beat them at home quite convincingly last season, but the two games this season have been very different.”

Howe frustrated over the Newcastle window

Arteta is not the only manager who has been frustrated by the transfer window.

Eddie Howe has only been able to spend about £ 45 million.

Kelly’s sales of DKK 20 million Pounds – which will review in the summer after a first loan indication – to Serie A Giants means the club has recovered about £ 100 million. Sales during the season, but have been back with a little depth.

“Was I frustrated (Monday)? No, ”Howe said. “It was a long time in creation, the window ended how we expected it.

“Different feelings for me, in general, there is an element of frustration that we have not taken the team forward in a positive way, it is everyone’s goal and ambition.

“But not yesterday of the day. It’s more of a general feeling we’re eager to take the team forward and progress, but we’ve been unable to do it in this window.”
