Edu's Considering Transfer Targets: Summer 2022 🛒

[MauveGunner]

All these links make me kinda hopefull for next season atm. We seem to get the deals done early. Vieira is already done. Jesus & Raphinha seems to be on the horizon, Martinez links are also strong. The only deal that seems to be on the long run atm is Tielemans atm.

Funny rival fans think buying Raphinha will mean we selling Saka little they know our wagebill is only less than 100m a year after big clear out and we have like 18 first team players. It was obvious we gonna raise the quality of squad

Actually it would be wise from the club to invest a lot of money this season, because we likely need UCL for next season to extend Saka.

Also if we don't get UCL, we already have Saka's replacement.

Of course Saka might still renew even without UCL as he is an Arsenal youth, but that's not so likely to me. Or at that point he will get a lot bigger wage than otherwise to stay.

If we sell saka we need to buy another winger too because we'll be short saka is young this guy only 20 years old he'll extend and likely leave at age 25-26 if he want to fight for big trophies. Talks about him wanting CL and trophies at this stage of his career is so early. He leading the rebuild if we sell him that mean we done nothing

Yeah but in any case we will have an RW in Raphinha and Jesus, if we get them and in later windows will also buy another top striker.

Yes better get good players now just in case something happen

It really depends on how he's developping. If he's getting better and better I don't think he will be here until he is 25. I guess it will be hard for us to convince him to sign a new contract without a release clause in it. But I mean if it's 120m I am ok with it.

How ridiculous is Arsenal even PL website put Vieira name at Arsenal squad but Arsenal not confirming anything

 

[RunTheTrap]

How many lefties are we gonna sign this window ffs? Marquinhos, Vieira, Martinez and Raphina potentially signed before the preseason tour. How long until we become the first ever team to field 10 lefties on the pitch?


Saka-Raphina-Marquinhos
Ødegaard——Vieira
———Xhaka———
Tierney-Gabriel-Martinez-Tavares
Ramsdale.

Xhaka might leave if we get Tielemans and he is right-footed. ESR and Martinelli are too, and Jesus.

Also White and Saliba are right-footed. Tavares will likely leave.

I think there is okay balance in this. Usually teams have more right-footed players, so not sure if it matters if some team has a bit more left-footed players. It's basically the same thing.

Partey Xhaka
Martinez/T Gab Sal/White Tomi
Ramsdale

With Martinez probably sometimes playing CM and occassionally CB, that is my guess.
Saka and Raphinha can switch and be replaced by ESR and Martinelli.
Nketiah for Jesus. Jesus in emergency going out wide.

So much flexibility. Love how this squad shapes up. Just really hope all 3 of Raphinha, Jesus and Martinez are happening.

Rarely love all of our targets

 

[Jasard]

I feel the hype slipping, inject me with more signings!

 

[RunTheTrap]

With all this good news I’m expecting something bad to happen. Maybe we’re selling Saliba or Saka. Maybe we miss out on one of our targets. Maybe Xhaka signs a ten year extension.

 

[Gunner D]

Doesn’t matter who we sign. Still gonna be the same sh*t next season.

Saving money mate. Our photostaff only come in once per week.

Cheer up mate. Think about how your health is on constant decline after 20 years old and be sad about that instead.

An update to consider how many players we need for a season in UEL and what it looks like we possibly can afford now. Thoughts?

Also do people think that Balogun might be our 3rd striker this season, competing with Nketiah? If we don't have money for a striker?

25 players good amount of players? So we would not need to sell Xhaka even with Tielemans coming?

Squad plans next season:

GK: Ramsdale, Turner, Hein

LB: Tierney, Hickey

RB: Tomiyasu, Cedric

CB: Gabriel, White, Saliba (?), Holding

DMF: Partey, Elneny, Sambi

CMF: Tielemans, Xhaka

AMF: Ødegaard, Vieira (can cover RW likely)

LW: Martinelli, ESR

RW: Saka, Marquinhos

ST: Jesus, Nketiah, Balogun

New players:

Marquinhos 5 million euros, 30k

Hickey 20 million euros, 50k

Tielemans 40 million euros, 180k

Vieira 40 million euros, 60k

Jesus 50 million euros, 200k

TOTAL: 155 million euros 520k

That would be 25 players. And ~160 million spent without sales. Balogun is coming back, but will he go for another loan?

The attack is very young so I would hope they buy someone more proven, maybe who could play striker and winger. Or something.

This is 22 players plus 3 GK's. Although Xhaka likely leaves if Tielemans comes, and his place could be taken by a youngster like Patino or Azeez.

Would look very nice, and Osimhen, Abraham or someone could be lined up for striker next summer.

Every position has at least 2 players. It would be a very young squad especially without Xhaka.

Squad plans next season:

GK: Ramsdale, Turner, Hein

LB: Tierney, Martinez

RB: Tomiyasu, Cedric

CB: Gabriel, White, Saliba

DMF: Partey, Elneny, Sambi

CMF: Tielemans, Xhaka

AMF: Ødegaard, Vieira

LW: Martinelli, ESR

RW: Saka, Raphinha, Marquinhos

ST: Jesus, Nketiah, Balogun

New players:

Marquinhos 5 million euros, 30k

Martinez 40 million euros, 90k

Tielemans 40 million euros, 150k

Vieira 40 million euros, 60k

Raphinha 50 million euros, 150k

Jesus 50 million euros, 200k

TOTAL: 225 million euros 680k per week

That would be 25 players. And ~225 million euros spent without sales. Will Marquinhos go for a loan?
