So would you sell Bellerin or hope that those 2 could be kept happy being rotated?


Bellerin form doesn't a merit a starting spot, we should bring in a better quality of player to fill the role. If Bellerin is not willing to display a professional attitude, fight for his role and show improvement, then move him on. It's bad managment that Bellerin is already earning more than Kos.

RB is going to be the hot position with Bayern, Barce, Juve & City all in the market. Hector needs solid competition but for me not replacing.

Interested by upgrading the keeper position. If we didn't own Szczesny he would definitely be on the shortlist... Not many relatively young keepers with good experience out there better.

Although I'd love for us to sign Benjamin Mendy at LB, finding a long-term LB that can also fill in at RB would be nice. That way we'd have an actual fullback ready as back up to Bellerin if needed. Emerson Palmieri of Roma comes to mind.

Another young Ligue 1 talent that deserves a shout is Maxime Lopez. Reported to have signed an extension at Marseille this week, but he's only 19 years old and is very much in the Santi/Iniesta midfield-conductor mold.

Actually, Dalbert and Pereira t OGC Nice can play both full back positions.
Lopez just extended until 2021.

What about Ricardo Rodriguez as a left back? Know we were linked last summer for a while.

Don't rate Gaya too much tbh, think he'll be an Alberto Moreno level flop wherever he ends up. Lad is painfully average defensively.

He's definitely still an option. The hype has died down because of Wolfsburg's poor form, but he's still a good player. Good on the ball, passes well, is very respectable defensively, calm and composed... he takes free-kicks and pens too which definitely wouldn't go amiss here. The main concern would be that he isn't that fast, which is what many dislike Monreal for. I'd question what kind of fullback we want before we bring him in; if we want to try inverted ones that come in midfield, he's perfect for that. He'd make for an interesting wingback as well if we were to go 3 at the back. As a traditional fullback though, I think there are better options.

I like Rodriguez and Gaya. If Mourinho didn't hate us so much Luke Shaw would be an option as well.

Rodriguez is crap, too slow for a fullback and he can't defend.

Basically Xhaka at LB, no wonder they're best mates.

After Senderos, Djourou and Xhaka I want no more Swiss players.

Masina at Bologna is an intriguing cheapish option at LB. Sure one of the big Italian teams or Conte will make a move this summer even if buy to loan. Rounded game & physical attributes quite rare especially for the position!

Manager: Koeman
Assistant Manage: Bergkamp
Sporting Director: Pires

CB: Van Dijk
DM: Tolisso or Rabiot
CM/ACM: Pjanic
ST: Lukaku

Those would be my main signings for the summer and new spine to the team, however in my football manager mind I would go further and would be making space by ridding the dead wood from the club, like Walcott, Ramsey and Gabriel and in this case I would also add

Gnabry or Zaha
Mbappe or Silva

Szcesney
Bellerin - Van Dijk - Koscialny - Monreal
Wilshere - Xhaka
Perez - Pjanic - Sanchez
Lukaku

That midfield would have us drooling of that I'm sure, can only imagine the interplay between Wilshere, Xhaka & Pjanic.

Yes that's right no Özil as I would personally sell him while we can still get a high price for him.

Think Bertrand would be a good one for left-back. Knows the league, good age, good pace, homegrown too and Southampton are a selling club.

Could send them Gibbs in return as a replacement.

Arsenal are the most beautiful club in England. At Man City and Chelsea, they will never have that class and style.
