We have no attacking threat, which makes him an absolute necessity. We lack both creativity and a reliable goal threat. Remember last season when we were grinding out results—Haaland missing sitters, KDB out injured, and the goals drying up? Well, this season is worse. We cannot rely on a single attacker to produce goals or depend heavily on our defenders to deliver them. For me, alongside signing a defender and midfielders, bringing in an attacker is essential. Haaland tends to be far too anonymous at times..

We still have enough for this season as an attacking threat. Savinho has finally broke his duck and will benefit for that extra confidence boost. Phil Foden is proven he can chip in and has shown flashes of his old self over the Christmas period (the Leicester game aside). Doku, McAtee, Grealish, Bernardo, KDB can still contribute for the rest of this season. If anything it is the defensive side that needs attention especially the injury concerns at CB.We have no attacking threat, which makes him an absolute necessity.

Tbh I think we are desperate for this kind of player. We look absolutely toothless from out wide. Grealish, Doku, Savinho, current day Bernardo… none of them will make double figures for goals and assists this season. Marmoush gives us a genuine threat again, whilst also being the Haaland backup as he can play striker too. We are desperate in multiple positions.If it pisses off Arsenal then bring him in but again not really a desperate need to bring him in.
Still don't write off our current crop to contribute. Marmoush seems a decent addition but again still needs that time to fully adapt.Tbh I think we are desperate for this kind of player.

Phil hasnt really pitched in at all this season. And KdB is always unfit.We still have enough for this season as an attacking threat.

While I agree defense and defensive midfield is a problem, so is goal scorers.
You knkw who our leading goal scorer is behind Haaland... its Gvardiol, thats how bad it is.
Give him time. This is his first ropey season since he broke through. He has recently shown flashes of returning to form. If anything we should really look to the summer to bring in extra attacking players. The pluses are It seems not too expensive and it would severely piss off Arsenal if we did sign him.Phil hasnt really pitched in at all this season. And KdB is always unfit.

Direct, quick, technical, great ball striking ability and link up play. Is also versatile and can play centrally or a flank. No brainer in my opinion. Looks a bit like Chiesa before the injuries
This issue doesn’t just stem from this season; we had it last season as well. We need goals, and right now, we are too predictable in where we score from. The fact that Savio scored once doesn’t change the reality that we still lack a serious attacking threat. We pass, pass, pass, and pass some more—overcomplicating things. Marmoush, on the other hand, is direct and penetrates the 18-yard box with purpose. He’s not one to just pass backwards or to Haaland and hope for a miracle. He makes things happen, takes on defenders, and is a genuine threat in the final third. His style of play would add the unpredictability and cutting edge we desperately need to our attack.We still have enough for this season as an attacking threat.

Even if you don't think we absolutely need him, it doesn't change the fact that we should still go for him. Ultimately, he improves us.

We do not have time, the season is half way done. We need to make the top-4. Marmoush as an attacker, brings us closer to that objective. Foden will catch on when he does, till then, we need someone who can deliver right now.Give him time.
