Raul's Transfer Targets: Summer 2019

[The_Playmaker]

But he is 26 same age as Zaha who is too old for you.

Zaha is going into his 27 year old season. He would cost 60 million minimum. He can play wide and up front. We are waiting to see whether he can step up his numbers.

Ziyech is going into his 26 year old season. He would cost 25 million, just come off a very good goal scoring season. He can play wide, as a 10 or as an 8. His shot technique will get goals in England. Also means we can spend elsewhere.

Llorente, Firpo & Mandi is playing in first team today (scout scout )

Looks like Kompany might be available from City. Past his best but would still comfortably be the best CB at our club by a country mile.

Kompany announced he will become player-manager of Anderlecht.

Yeah posted that mate before he announced it! Nevermind eh

I would have taken him for a year though. He might not have stayed healthy, but he still would have been quality for the games he played.

He good rb but would cost much we already have quality starting rb need just young decent backup.

Don’t think we’re interested in half the players we’re being linked with. Clubs name just being added on to links.

Yeh a lot of our links have been silly wasteful buys given our small budget. I dont buy most of them.

Meunier would be like £20m+ ? For a backup RB? No thanks.

We already have AMN, and Bellerin will be coming back soon enough.

AMN isn’t a serious option if you want to play four at the back. It’s probably bottom of the list behind CB, CM, LW/RW and LB, but I don’t doubt it’s something they would want in an ideal world.

I want Ziyech at Arsenal so bad.

Look at this compilation against Utrecht. It was Ajax’s title clinching match, down 0-1 after 30 seconds and he pulled them through.


So many highlight reel passes just watch

it happen every summer we linked with like 50 players and its not even june.

While he isn't ideal, we have Chambers coming back too.

Oh and btw for those that don’t know, Ziyech isn’t going to cost us 80M or something like Frenkie and De Ligt. He is very careful with the club he joins and won’t leave for the money. He could have left last season and earned three times as much as he does now but stayed because the right club didn’t come for him. In turn Ajax will let him go to the club he wants without difficulty.

You have to understand, this is a guy that comes from a large family, and lost his father at a very young age. Staying close to his mother means everything to him, it’s the sole reason he’s still in the Eredivisie at 26 when he already was the best player in the league when he was 22 at Twente.

He has a gentleman’s agreement with Ajax to accept a reasonable bid, because he already stayed a year longer than planned, and largely carried them this season when it mattered. I leave it up to you guys what’s a reasonable bid, but if we come knocking, we’ll get him.

He can play in a 4 against fodder at home and Emery loves a change anyway, so we can switch to 5 at the back when Bellerin needs a rest. Can't be going for RB's now.

Bellerin and Ainsley is superb for now. Need a LB, just don't know how. Guess we'll continue with Nacho and Kola.

think Özil is stopping us from going after Ziyech

What’s this? Ziyech would be perfect to play with Mesut. These kind of players thrive of playing off each other. Or is it the boring money argument again?

 

[say yes]

If we can get him on the cheap I actually think this could be a very savvy signing.

Great option at RB but (more importantly for me) he can also play competently at RW. Would kill two birds with one stone which is important given our lack of funds.

Can't see us signing two wingers this summer given the priority elsewhere - so would be nice if we could add another option to the squad who's capable of playing out wide.

1. LB
2. Winger
3. CM
4. CB
5. Another winger -> Meunier
6. Backup RB -> Meunier

Meunier ticks off 5 & 6 from that list of my priorities which means we can focus the rest of our funds on the more important positions.

Here a champions league compilation because you guys don’t rate the farmers he faces in the Eredivisie
