The Wish List

[Aevi]

Latest comments are suggesting a player we want says he will move only with Champions League. Pepe?

Rabiot and Ziyech are the ones I'm thinking.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

If we don't get Ziyech for some reason there is another player from the Eredivisie we can take a punt on: Ødegaard. He's been excellent at Vitesse. His teammates are in awe and he's producing similar numbers as Ziyech. Very young as well.

Rather him than Lozano.

Madrids asking price, maybe £18 million+, would be a smart signing imo and a good time to do so.

CB: Hermoso 17m
CB: Saliba 15m
LB: Tierney 20m
CM: Nkunku 17m
CM: Palacios 12m
RW: Pepe 55m
LW: Claude Maurice 9m

Everyone below 20m so we can go big on one player?

Either Pepe or Zaha probably as they both want CL.

He has been excellent, I hope he's Ziyech's replacement at Ajax. Wouldn't say the numbers are similar (29 g/a in 29 for Ziyech vs. 21 g/a in 31(2) for Ödegaard), but his productivity has gone up significantly this season compared to last.

Once he moves to Ajax his next transfer fee will likely more than double though (currently estimated at around €15-20m).

They got to be from somewhere?

Real funny kid, at least you changed the layout this time. I like the innovation there

I don’t find this funny.
I truely believe that they (JK Augustin, Saint-Maximin, Aouar, Chukwueze, Cuisance, Ndombele, Tonali, Upamecano, De Ligt, Bellanova, Reguilon, Plizzari) are good players.

I don’t think signing one/two of the above young talents is not achievable. All I do is to recommend a shortlist. I do not mean we can sign all of them like how you do in fifa. Depending on the position we are after, it will be good if we get one/two of these players.

Watford level midfield. Can barely pass beyond 5 meters those two. Auba wide is yikes as well.

Box to box midfielders are ****. Now ramsey is gone. We have resources to bring in a cazorla replacement.

We need a silky midfielders who play smart, read the game well, dictate tempo, skillful, play one two/one touch pass/beautiful through pass, have great first touch, ball control, tactical knowledge, decision making, passing and positioning.

Not someone who based their game on hard work. Play ugly boring disgusting football. Run into the opponent box and leave huge gaps in the midfield for the opponent to exploit.

You know that box to box midfielders can also be silky, or read the game, or play one-two passes etc etc.

Football is not as one-dimensional as you're making it look.

Though the first & second would be fantastic acquisitions, both will seperately go for more than our budget let alone in a combined effort.

The third would be easy to get but we'd be up against better teams vying for his signature.

The fourth option: one is Mustafi by another name, the other a world class crock.

The less said about the fifth the better (save to say I don't want his poisonous character anywhere near Arsenal).

 

[truth_hurts]

In: Martinez (loan), Salibah, Maguire, Sessegnon, Martinelli, Rabiot, Douglas Costa.

Out: Ospina, Mustafi, Chambers, Monreal, El Nenny, Özil.

 

[benjamin86]

That would be a decent window that. Would get me excited.

Realistically i think i'd be happy with just
CB: Hermoso 17m
CB: Saliba 15m
LB: Tierney 20m
CM: Nkunku 17m

There is a chance that none of these players will improve our first team though and only our squad. Only Hermoso would be a starter in my opinion.

I'd want at least one statement signing.

Doesnt seem likely to happen with what the press are saying.

I doubt that Emery would stay if he has to work off scraps again. There will be plenty of sales, plus new sponsorship money, hopefully cl money and all of whatever our initial budget is.

Stayed at Sevilla for many years working on a constrained budget?

I'd love to see us make some signings to solidify and concede less than 40 goals next season!

How much would Sane cost?
Would go all out for him, far higher ceiling than Zaha. Thing is, would he come here? At some point we have to show some ambition surely
