Where’s the announcement?

Anyway, is this reliable at all?

Yeah most Barcelona media saying Nico Williams likely off to Arsenal.

i'll be more excited with Nico signing than Sesko because Nico decision making dribbling and being direct is something we really been missing in our left side. Martinelli i'm not giving up on him but he should be rotating with Nico and Ethan to rotate with Saka that make our width top quality. still we have to get rid of Trossard because our club don't like to buy players in position they already got numbers in it we'll be the classic phrase of you have sell before buying still this summer likely i'm sure they won't take long to secure Williams and Sesko deals if both want to join.

The local Barcelona media usually reliable but you never know with today press.

It would be great. Although he has had a bad year this season by his standards and got some criticism. But he is young enough he still can grow in a better side. A sensational player but he is more a creator, he is not a clinical goal scorer. My thing is we need a forward that is going to bag his chances and bag a lot of chances

 

[HattoriHanzo]

If all this is true, it means release clause for Zubimendi, release clause for N. Williams, release clause for Joan Garcia,....
Is there any striker out there with release clause?

This is why Arsenal doesn't need DoF.
Why negotiate with clubs, you just pay release clause.

Are you trying to be sarcastic? In a way you are right we don’t need a DOF as badly as we need a manager. I don’t know why we need Zubi or even Nico before a striker it would be another idiotic lack of prioritizing our biggest problem. Why get Zubi with Mls, Rice, Partey before a striker?

 

[Trilly]

He was really good today, and I’m one of the muppets here that turned our noses up at him…

He carries a broad spectrum of threat, I think I get him now.

Go back to my posts about me saying that he would be an excellent 4th attacker. In an ideal world he takes Havertz’ role in the squad and plays CF, LW, LCM all to a decent level.

Some guys just give you quality and threat regardless of where they play, a jack of all trades in an elite attacking sense.

Starting to feel like nobody listens to me

Had a look at the website but doesn't look reliable at all

Baller!

Heard his name a few years back but @2Smokeyy put me back on this season.

With young attackers the main thing you’re looking at is technical ability and elite confidence. A good coach can do the rest.

I need to watch more of him but I kind of prefer him to Sesko off the little I’ve seen of both. Has better stats as well

What do you think, am I sarcastic or not?
Would you personally prefer to pay all amount upfront, or would you prefer to pay in installments?

I don't know why we need Zubimendi, maybe because both Jorginho and Partey will leave?

Problem with Ekitike is he’s really poor in the air despite his height and built like a tooth pick.

He doesn’t seem that proper 9 we want.

 

[OnlyOne]

If it’s not Isak/Sesko then I’d look in the league at Delap.

My preference is still Watkins if he’s available at a cheaper price.

 

[Trilly]

I think Isak forces us into a Havertz/Jesus sale as we’d be looking at almost 1M a week on just strikers in wages.

The club will go for an understudy imo, I’m currently thinking Ekiteke, Sesko and Delap in that order.

Honestly I think Delap could be as good as Sesko tbh but Sesko is more proven at this stage. Would be happy with all three.

If we get Sesko we play the same cross spamming style we currently play with Kai. He is a very good finisher Sesko but I would like a striker that is more technical, quicker more involved in build up

We won't pay the release clause on Garcia and we will probably pay slightly over the release clause for Zubi or Nico to pay in instalments.

It's also the quickest way to get players in the summer so I wouldn't be complaining. All you have to do is agree personal terms and it's basically done.

Isak for you then Farzad?

Genuinely think we lack that sense of unpredictability in attack. Might sound unrealistic but I’d go for Ekitike and Wirtz then sell whoever we need to fund those two moves.

People go on every summer about an “x-factor” or whatever but those two above have the talent and potential to make us a top 2 side in Europe. Ekitike, Saka, Nwaneri, Ode, Wirtz and Rice would be pretty unreal.

 

[Farzad]

Isak or Watkins. Isak is better but if you can get Watkins at a bug discount then he is a better buy

Isak + Nico is a dream. The club should be doing all they can to get that done.

If we are going by reports we should be getting Zubi, Nico and Garcia in the first two weeks.

They not going to buy both. Nico I love. But again for squad balance we need to prioritize striker. I thought when we bought Cala and Merino we would get a good forward. We need a striker first and foremost before a winger, before a midfielder
