How does buying out Özil’s contract solve anything? Considering we would pay the contract in full, it doesn’t really clear his salary off the books. Either way we are stuck with that weekly 350k unless someone buys him.

Nobody's stupid enough to buy him so I don't see what other choice we have. Need to get his salary off the books one way or another and we can use Xhaka's transfer to do that. Think of it as transfer fee to get rid of a player instead of getting one in.

Right, but it doesn’t get his salary off the books. It’s the same amount of money wasted whether we buy out his salary or have him on the team until his contract runs out... Might as well use him when optimal. Plus he still has some commercial value to the team...

Is there any good LB that can also cover as RB? That seem like it would be money well spent.
de Sciglio might not break the bank? I suppose it becomes a question of 'next big thing' v 'good squad player'. Inclined to think we have other priorities in the squad than fullbacks?

Saka performance today suggests he can slot in there when needed so that's a positive.

Isn't it more like we need RB who can cover LB? Bellerin with his injury is risky for the future. Tierney should likely be fine. Chambers is needed as a CB?

Florenzi is being linked with Sp**s, Fiorentina & Sevilla.

He could be the perfect utility player at fullback & across the midfield. If he could regain previous form beats out Hector.

Seen loan & €25m mentioned.

Florenzi has too many injury problems lately wouldn't be bad deal on loan and i think we should consider getting Marcelo on loan too from real madrid

but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
Wonder if there are any solutions to our issues in Brazil? Education seems to love a Brazilian signing.

Wouldn't mind Vincius or Soares for the attack, but no idea on Brazilian full backs or box to box midfielders.

Özil at 10 And Emery Out
Xhaka and possibly Torreira/Özil are leaving in January and there’s zero links to a DM or AM at the moment.
