It would also be an uncharacteristically proactive move for us rather than waiting for Auba to fully decline or leave and to actually bring in someone before that happens.

Certainly. They have never showed any ambitions before but they will definitely start now. Stop dreaming.

Would do well under Ten Hag.

Newcastle will buy him from us for £100million in approx 3 years time
They are totally different though. Isak 's dribbling and pace are so appealing. He has the potential to be an absolute menace if he bulks up a little and works on his heading.

That's the worry a bit with Vlahovic. He's a big, Dzeko-like penalty box striker. Doesn't look like he has explosive pace or agility. His game could translate well to the Premier League but it's always a bit of a gamble. He's scoring at a high rate though and it's still young. £70m is a huge fee, I'd definitely be excited but he'd be a risk like Pepe

In terms of being a real goalscorer I feel Isak is the bigger gamble, but could have the higher ceiling.
I think Vlahovic is a more natural goal scorer, & for that reason I think I'd go with him. A great education against Serie A defences, 1 in 2 record at international level, he'd be my top realistic choice.

tbf we've had money to spend every window. However, I do think dropping out of top 6 two seasons running has made them realise how much we need European football. Even EL is better than nothing and with Man Utd stumbling they must see we could get top 4 and finally back to CL.

League is very weak
Normally you say “no chance”, but I think next summer we’ll only make two first team transfers - a striker and CM, those will cost 80-100M, which is not a lot and falls in line with our normal spending, especially if you add a sale or two.

We must be the first club ever who doesn’t spend money if it’s there. Even Emery said he was told there is no money, just loans.

I would rather someone more experienced, some kid from a poor league is going to take 3/4 years to settle.

We've had a few net gains but generally we spend more than we gain every window. I'm not protecting KSE, I wish they sold tomorrow, but they haven't been our only issue, we've have spent and often spent badly!

Got a good feeling about this signing but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to get him if we leave it until the summer and I’m sure the club are aware of that.
Seems exactly like a Dortmund type of signing especially if Haaland leaves in the summer.

Admittedly haven't seen Vlahovic other than youtube, but his ball striking looks top class, guys scored a lot of different types of goals (as well as headers and free kicks). From what I've seen of Isak in the odd la liga game and Euros, his finishing doesn't look to be top class, but as you say his dribbling and link up play looks really good.
It's encouraging we seem to be after these guys. I think Osihmen should probably be on the list as well, although he really would cost a bomb.

This would be a proper statement signing. He reminds me a lot of Van Nistelrooy. 80mil is a bit of a gamble however.

Dortmund sign guys before they blow up. They aren’t spending 70/80M on anyone.Got a good feeling about this signing but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to get him if we leave it until the summer and I’m sure the club are aware of that.

Getting a target man striker, makes the Ødegaard signing a weird one.
Ødegaard doesn't really get on the ball and dribble/run past the striker, so to get the best out of Martin you need a fast striker running onto his passes...if we sign this guy, ESR at 10 with Saka and Martinelli wide would be the best way to go in theory.

You feel like the best possible version of Vlahovic develops into a player like Van Nistelrooy or even Lewandowski. That's his upside if he adjusts to the league and keeps improving. I think he's gettable for Arsenal, but I doubt we go big in January. Not sure we can even afford to with what we spent last summer unless we sell Saliba or something crazy like that.Got a good feeling about this signing but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to get him if we leave it until the summer and I’m sure the club are aware of that.
