Edu's Transfer Targets: Summer Holidays 2021

[Tir Na Nog]

Mid-table reality, expect mid-table underwhelming signings. Dark days ahead.

 

[boonthegoon]

Even though we are mid table, I would prefer unknown signings like soucek/coufal instead of players like fekir/draxler/brandt/calhanaglu

 

[truth_hurts]

Just raid Fulham for Parker and their youth. We'd be midtable, but more fun to watch than thus current bollocks.

 

[Rasmi]

If Barnsley dont go up from the play offs(I actually think they will win the playoffs) Daryl Dike will be in the PL next season. American Lukaku

 

[El Duderino]

Should we bring him home?

Bring him home ffs

 

[truth_hurts]

Bring him home ffs

I'm game for project upgrade on Leno.

 

[Breezy ®]

Bring him home ffs

Donnarumma? I’m with you on that one.

 

[dashsnow17]

If you want to bring in competition for Leno or even a successor you could do worse than look at Onana. 1 year left and contract talks have broken down, plus he's currently banned, so could be a cut-price deal.

 

[dashsnow17]

Also actually LOL at him getting a ONE YEAR ban for doping, which was probably a mistake anyway, when Kudela got 10 matches for racist abuse on a pitch. Even if he doped on purpose who the f*ck cares, he's a goalkeeper!

 

[HairSprayGooners]

I expect a good 4 or 5 signings. No more bloody loans please. Actually build the squad now give the managed the required funds.

 

[African Flair]

Isn't Donnarumma already way above that?

And he's repped by Mino and a free agent. Good luck with that.

 

[Macho]

Orny:

Arsenal's recruitment ambitions around that position and in other areas of the squad are likely to be heavily influenced by finances as the effect of the pandemic continues to be felt across the industry, although the club may be able to raise significant resources through departures.

As things stand, David Luiz is scheduled to leave as a free agent, loan arrangements for Dani Ceballos and Mat Ryan will end and there is uncertainty around Hector Bellerin and Reiss Nelson. Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi, on loan at Atletico Madrid and Hertha Berlin respectively, appear surplus to requirements.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

I expect Ryan to be extended tbh. Luiz leaving makes sense as Saliba/Mavro are coming back. Once again there's a lot to do.

Should go for foster from Watford instead. At least he is home-grown.

Yeah either one, wouldn't mind as long as they're capable!

 

[grange]

I thought Luiz was negotiating a new deal or did it break down because he wanted more years? I expect him to come back on a one year type deal eventually.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Cannot even express my disgust at this 90% wages covered bit.

Don't think about the bad stuff, the bad stuff doesn't exist. Think about the good stuff! ESR's gonna sign a new deal, after new deals for Balogun, Saka and Martinelli. Four quality youngsters all on long deals.

And Dicky Garlick's arriving soon

 

[dashsnow17]

Balogun signing means Nketiah is definitely leaving, that's clear. So what about the other forwards, do you sell Laca and buy another striker? That kinda blocks Martinelli and Balogun. Do you sell Laca, just have Auba, Martinelli and Balogun and reinvest elsewhere? Or do you keep Laca even if he leaves on a free, and have that extra experience for a year while Martinelli and Balogun gain more experience?

I think a strong aerial presence at CF would be handy, but I also think a really good LW would be handy. So I have no idea. I definitely think we should try to buy Ødegaard. Maybe just concentrate funds on that and getting a quality CM, and sort out the full-back situations.

 

[Riou]

If Ek joins with Henry and Vieira, then Mbappe is in the bag imo.
