Edu's Transfer Targets: Summer Holidays 2021

[Blood on the Tracks]

Calvert-Lewin would be a great signing if we have the budget.

The sort of forward he is tend to hit their stride and mature a bit later than other types, so his career goal scoring doesn't concern me. Watching him play you can tell all the pieces are starting to come together and he's really starting to understand his game.

He'd be a perfect striker for the way Arteta seems to want to play too.

I'd be lobbing that Ben White money at Everton to be honest. I think he'd probably be gettable for around £60m.

Just over 2 weeks lovely stuff, Bids went in a week ago and are no further down the line.

Arsenal aren’t buying Calvert Lewin, Everton won’t sell him to us. Don’t need the cash either.

Good player, not WC, but a solid guy who gets you his fair share of goals and makes problems for the opposition every game.

I'm happy we didn't get fooled and spend 40m on Buendia or real madrid forced us and pay over 50m for Odergaard not sure who the targets are now but these 2 not worthy that money.

A few potential AM targets now off the table. Buendia, Ødegaard, De Paul (loose link there). We've been told Maddison is the first target so, lets hope we can get it done otherwise I can see us getting Pereira or someone like that. Which I wouldn't be against by the way.

Pereira is a wide player. Not a nr 10 we want

15 games at right wing last season, 2 goals 3 assists.
11 games at AM last season, 5 goals, 2 assists.

He's good across the entire midfield, but unlike Buendia he has experience playing in the 10 and plays better there than he does out wide.

Are you saying he is better than buendia?

Nope, think both are very similar, but for what we want Pereira would work better and he would be cheaper. If we fail to sign Maddison I can see Pereira coming in and being a nice rotation option with ESR/Saka/Pepe in all positions.

Worst transfer window we’ve ever had imo.

You said believe AFCBell, warchest, etc. Not anymore?

Whats worth it though for a player, its hard to see us bringing in anyone at a reasonable price that can improve us. We definitely need to add to what we had and without a proper scouting team its hard to see where the unknown gems are going to come from so if we do bring in someone it will probably end with us overpaying... the question is who would you prefer to overspend on.

Maddison’s hip issues really concern me. Hasn’t he only averaged like 31 PL games a season? If you include potentially qualifying for CL or EL down the line he could turn into another injury prone player we sign.

Other than that I’d be all for.

 

[Red London]

Sign Renato Sanches + Aouar and go 433.

Sanches Partey Aouar
Saka Auba ESR/Pepe

Willock in the rotation as well.

42 games in all comps last season, 38 games the season before and 38 the season before that. I think it'll be similar to Tierney if I'm honest. Which is fine as we could rotate him nicely with ESR.

That woulda be a whole lot better than Tierney. But if he was to play as much as Tierney, as much as I like Kieran, I would say no to spending 60m+ on someone who we know from the onset won’t stay fit all season.

If someone told me he plays 42 games a season I will take it though of course.

Best Elneny's personification I have seen in my life! He is really gonna to transform us in PL contenders!!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It's the Portuguese manager demanding him to play so high up the pitch? Didn't do much really.

This deal is quite and not was just contact nothing else.
