Preacher
Always Crying
Right foot. Left foot. Devastating.
Bid needed in the summon. Maddison or Grealish.
I think the amount spent will be the same. No CL football and the Kroenke's will be forced to fork out a fair bit of cash to keep us afloat.
Obviously the attraction of CL football will be a factor, but I think it'll be the only factor this summer.
You just say things with 100% confidence and zero grounding in reality.
This feels very midtable. I don't think Berge or Ramsey really improve upon the midfield.Outs:
- Lacazette (15-20m).
- Nketiah (10m).
- Guendouzi (10m).
- Holding (10m).
- Bellerin (15-20m, personally think he is worth 5m).
- Leno (20m).
- Maitland Niles (15-20m).
- Nelson (10m).
- El Neny (5m).
- Torreira (10m).
- Kolosanic (2m).
- Mavropanos (10m).
- Would also consider any bids for above 30m for Pepe and 20m for Aubamayeng.
110-130m in sales.
Loans Out:
- Willock, needs a full season on loan. Needs to learn to stay in games, not going to get that opportunity if he stays with us.
- TJJ, Smith, Azeez and the rest of the more senior academy players.
Ins:
- Onana (7m).
- Ryan (2-5m).
- Emerson (20-25m). Right back.
- Bertrand (free, 1 year contract).
- Berge (20-25m).
- Buendia (25-35m).
GK, right back and left back issues resolved. I really like Berge profile as someone who can work box to box and also give us an aerial threat. Buendia I really liked in the championship this season. Has excellent control and makes instinctive decisions.
Also, room to sign players like Bissouma or Soumare in midfield. Or go big for a LW or striker depending on any movement of Aubamayeng and what position we settle Martinelli in.
Loan Ins:
- Odegarrd. Still thinks this is a chance.
- Coutinho, if the above isn't possible. Wages far less of an issue with our outgoings and we desperately need someone capable of shooting from outside the box.
- Ramsey. Think he would be perfect in a role coming off the bench. Juventus can subsides some of his wage.
Released:
- Luiz.
- Ceballos.
Squad:
GK:
- Onana, Ryan.
Right back:
- Emerson, Cedric.
Right Centre Back:
- Saliba, Chambers.
Left Centre Back:
- Gabriel, Mari.
Left Back:
- Tierney, Bertrand.
Midfield
- Xhaka, Partey, Berge, Ramsey.
Attack:
- Buendia, Saka, ESR, Martinelli, Pepe, Willian, Odegarrd.
Striker:
- Aubamayeng, Balogun.
Short at Centre back and lack quality in the final third.
Firstly - Ralph Rangnick to take the “Raul” role and turn us into a better resourced version of an RB team.
After that -
- A home grown first choice RB
- A late prime aged first choice RCB with Saliba at back up
- A young physically elite first choice DM
- Camavinga (an Arsenal fan who needs a stepping stone) as succession planning for Xhaka
There are a few options really. I’d take anyone from Dunk to Skriniar to de Vrij. Just an upgrade on Holding, someone that will set some standards to be exceeded but won’t block Saliba 3 years from nowWho's the RCB?

Yeah that’s why I’d be ok with Dunk too (at the right price). He’s been performing at a good level in the PL, he’s 29.5 and unlike De Vrij he wouldn’t be giving up European FootballOh I guess De Vrij is a good shout. Skriniar is 26, so it kind of blocks any possible Saliba future, no? I was also thinking about Koulibaly, maybe the attention is away from him and he'd be cheaper now. Ideally we could bring in someone with good technique aged about 32? I just can't think of many names tbh.
Problem with Saliba is we bought him and now seem troubled by the fact he's so young, and it's like well why did we buy him then? You either play him and accept he's young, or you sell him to a club prepared to play a young CB. You don't just loan him out forever until he's ready.
I think the key to bringing us back to an Elite level is bringing in more leaders.
GK - I’d do everything possible to bring back MARTINEZ 30M+. Failing that Szczęsny would be a good fit..
RB - Ricardo Perriera would be my number 1 target. He’s back to full fitness and isn’t far from being a worldclass fullback.
RCB - Johnny Evans! leadership, positional awareness and experienced. Could be a massive signing for the dressing room. 8M
LCB- Gabriel & Mari are good options here.
LB - KT starter. Young lad at Palace Mitchell has a good presence and personality on the pitch. Atheltic, and strong he kept Saka quiet at the Emirates which this season hasn’t been a easy task for many. 10M
CM - Partey needs a partner. I think the best option right now is Rice. Again leadership, PL experience, a good engine. He has room to improve in areas but I think he’s a mainstay in the national team and almost a Hendo 2.0. 60M+
ACM - EMI Buendia. Goals, work ethic and had the final pass in his locker. I think he’s worth a shot. Rotation with ESR.
RW Neto. Will had tenacity and drive we haven’t had since Alexis. Would like up well with fellow countrymen Cedric and Perriera.
LW - Saka/Martinelli
CF - Ivan Toney Is next up! Technically gifted, physically strong and ice cold in front of goal. Gives us a different dimension in the air also. Auba, Ivan and BALOGUN is a serious front line options
