Let's get cooking.

A player who can compete with Saka and a left wing upgrade sounds like someone on A-M put this together.

I don’t think even @HagnSprayGooners would wishlist 2 wingers and a striker.

 

[Gooner Zig]

"Compete" with Saka lol

We need an upgrade on Martinelli so let's sign an elite LW and Martinelli can provide cover on LW/RW. No quality player is going to come here to ride the bench for Bukayo.

That's why we should be getting a quality youngster who has first team experience but either doesn't start often and/or plays in a "farmers league" as people on here love to say. Someone like Dibling or Bazoumana Toure.

I don't usually care for flavour of the months but Dibling looks quality everytime I have seen him play. His intelligence for an 18 year old is outstanding, he's quick and strong too and can dribble.

Left-footed, reminds me a bit of Saka.

Isn't that basically what Evan Ferguson was

Yeah, but that’s why I said usually, there’s one or two that tickle my fancy.

I think if you’re a 17/18 year old in the prem being clearly physically ready at this level while also showing they have the game intelligence to go a long with it is what could make them a top player, even if they don’t have the G&A stats you might want.

It’s what made Saka and now Nwaneri/MLS top prospects.

not seen him play but Buonanotte is putting up some terrific stats at only 19 playing for a terrible Leicester team.

Brighton player unfortunately.

Brighton player unfortunately.

i know, they probably have one of the worlds best scouting departments. i like the look of Baleba too as a potential Jorginho/Partey replacement.

I’d make a move for a left-back in January if possible, I’d assume it’s an area we’ll need again for summer but with injuries mounting and not being able to rely on Zinny/Cala staying fit feels pretty significant.

Our full-backs in general is a bit of a disaster atm.

Summer looks a bit bleak again attacking wise, not really any standouts, Isak available but picks up knocks, Gyokores looks good but leagues an issue, Sesko by all accounts is having a poor season.

I’d expect City and Pool to do some business as well.

 

[Red London]

I think there’s a decent amount of options at CF. Marmoush, Gyokeres, Isak, Osimhen, Delap, Sesko.

I just think we miss a very good finisher like Gyokeres to kill the game.

Agreed, but apart from Delap it likely means LW stays untouched again.

I think Osimhen or Vlahovic are two strikers who consistently score and in a decent league.

Osi would be my choice at CF.

Yeah what I would say though is we certainly need to be looking at raising the technical profile of the first team. 2 areas would be CM and LW. I don’t think the striker needs to if we have technical ability around him. I’d be happy with Gyokeres if we solved the technical issue in our team.

In January i think Osimhen and Vlahovic are available
