Raul's Transfer Targets: Summer 2019

[A_G]

Is Thauvin that good? Wouldn't really use his time at Newcastle as a measuring stick because you could do the same for Salah at Chelsea.

 

[Hunta]

Whenever I’ve seen him in the Europa or for France he looks like he did in the PL.

Don’t think he’s got anywhere near the quality.

 

[Gunner-Union]

Is he a pacy winger? If not then we don’t need him

So our interval is

Mustafi-Everton ------------------------------------------ Salah-Chelsea

Where Mustafi-Everton is zero and Salah-Chelsea is 10!

In 3 season with OM he scored 60 goals I think he very talented player still 26 years old

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Still with OM asking price dint think we'll be interested he not 50M player but with OM ffp problem they maybe forced to sell for 30M

 

[Impact]

Good player without the physical profile needed to succeed in the PL.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

I remember when we were first linked with thauvin before he got his move to Newcastle...

 

[Red London]

Not sure he's the player we need. We need an athletic and pacey winger, not another talented but slow wide man.

Our squad last season didnt have 1 winger with good pace, it's causing balancing issues especially away from home.

Thuram is athletic and pacy...no idea how good he is though lol.

I like Thuram. He's also amazing in the air. I would go for him over Carassco and Fraser any day. He is strong, fast, has really good close control and literally just constantly takes his man on. He came on in the under 21 game vs England and just backed Wan Bissaka into the box repeatedly. Sat someone down also but don't remember who. Extremely confident player who is very direct.

I don't think we are in for Carassco. There's something off about the link and a bid has been lodged but it isn't us. Thuram may well be an option.

I'm intrigued about who our CM option is. We didn't bother with Fornals. There are rumours of Torreira leaving.

I don't think Torreira is going, it's frustrating the amount of news sites that cut his last sentence "But as the years pass, I’m going to be adapting.” which changes his statement from i don't like London to i'm not used to London yet.

No idea what we're going to do at CM, i wouldn't be surprised if we don't sign anyone. If we do that i hope Willock or AMN gets chances ahead of Elneny.

Think the focus is on our defence.

Tierney and Saliba would be a great start, as good as we could hope for really.

Wide players are very important too at least 2 needed we short on options there

I hope so, imagine being confident of a clean sheet!

Saliba and Tierney would be an insane start. It also takes our entire budget meaning we can't buy until we know players are definitely going.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

CB-2WF-CM-LB was always the focus in this transfer window for us. Backup gk and RB depends if we found good cheap option

True, but LB, CB and WF and we're out of money I think.

ehhh i'm kind of cynical of that £40m number as that's not how transfers work, it's very rare for clubs to pay an entire fee up front. For Saliba and Teirney we would probably end up paying £15m this season with the rest in installments over the next few years.

(if we could only buy £40m worth of talent that would probably mean we have £10m-15m cash to spend this summer...)

Still don't our budget really that small we have to get cm at least to replace ramsey and hopefully we made some few sales
