Most ideal window

Jesus, Gakpo, Tielemans, Hickey, +1 CM

These signings, realistically Should get us top 4

Add Bissouma or Phillips and that's probably a spend of £160m. Think we would need something better than Gakpo. Like a different style of number 9. Schik/DCL but neither really excite me.

Gundogan is a beautiful player, the absolute creme de la creme, but his injury record is a worry. I do love him though.

Great player but not what we need going forward. Need younger (25-26) and someone who is aiming for the top. Not dropping down.

Would much rather extend Nketiahs contract than splash 45m on DCL tbh

He's still good for another few years if his knees can take it. Luka Modric is 36.

 

[14Henry]

He's still good for another 2 years if his knees can take it.

You've already said if his knees can take it. That's a risk we don't need. No buying City/Chelsea/United hand me downs who are in their 30s. We are not a retirement home.

Yeah would be too keen on spending 45m on him either. I doubt he's available cheaper but 35m and I would be tempted.

But his quality is out of this world. He wins you games. Did you watch him today? Did you watch him at all this season? Or last season? He's amazing. ESR and our other young midfielders training with him, learning from him, that alone is worth something.

Surprised there’s been no links to Ivan Toney yet..

For £35 mil you do it. Worth the risk imo. Arteta & the player kmow each other well & he is still performing at very high level & is has a wealth of good experience.

Would be a great buy for 2-3 seasons.

Good ol Jimmy boy

Wouldnt surprise me if Arteta buy that trashbag.

Partey and Gundogan might be able to scrap together a season between them.

He is a concern but I’ve got to agree with @Rimaal on this if we can get someone of his proven quality then pull the trigger. To say no because we’ve pissed away money guys like Willian, Cech and Cedric is a massive disrespect to Gundogan.

 

[Rimaal]

Had no idea he had a son.

I'm talking about DCL for 35m not Gundogan.

Gundogan would be amazing.

Yeah I don't disagree. But a midfield of Gundogan and Partey both injury prone. Gundogan dropping down a level so may not have the same intensity and drive. I would look elsewhere to be honest unless it was really cheap.
