Sven's Transfer Targets: Summer 2018

[dashsnow17]

Charles Watts (not the Rolling Stones drummer) speculates on what the Arsenal lineup could look like at the end of the transfer window.

I like the idea of Bellerin and Kolasinac as wingbacks, especially Kolasinac. Not sure about that back 3 though, not sure at all. Think we can do a bit better than Meyer too. I'm by no means expecting a Pep 200m oil money summer, but I still think we'll get at least one big marquee signing probably at centreback. I think - or hope - we'll get someone like Koulibaly, Manolas or Alderweireld instead of Sokratis.

strangely, all our links are purely around Germany/Turkey

Be annnouncing Arteta as manager on the same day.

What a terrible lineup. Meyer and Seri in midfield? Jesus ****ing christ. Arteta has worked a lot with Fernandinho this season. He knows the value of a more defensively minded midfielder.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

We'd want to get a few more goals out of Özil and Mkhitaryan for that setup to work.

Interesting how Watts is assuming that we'll completely abandon Xhaka tho I'm not sure if that'll end up being the case.

Just get me, Kieran Tierney, Fabihno, Manolas and a decent keeper.

Get rid of, Mustafi, Kosh and possibly Xhaka.

 

[Ricardinho]

Just get me, Kieran Tierney, Fabihno, Manolas and a decent keeper.

Get rid of, Mustafi, Kosh and possibly Xhaka.

Kos isn't going anywhere this summer because of the injury so people need to drop that idea.

Manolas Fabinho won't join because lack of CL football. We'll sign mostly young players this summer

Would people be happy if the current strongest linked players to us were our signings?

Leno
Sokratis
Soyuncu
Seri

Nope our midfield & defense will be the worst in top 6.

Midfield needs an overhall. I like Seri but he answers **** all needs.

Hmmm, give them money.

 

[dashsnow17]

So we've been linked to Bernd Leno, Sokratis, Caglar Soyuncu, Jean Seri & Cengiz Under....hm, not exactly shopping in Harrods but that's to be expected. As long as new faces are brought into the squad I'll put my faith in the new recruitment team.

 

[<<reed>>]

GK - Weidenfeller
CB - Sokratis
CM - Sahin
Winger - Schürrle

 

[dashsnow17]

- Leno, Cech, Macey

- Bellerin, Sokratis, Kos, Mustafi, Soyuncu, Chambers, Holding, Mavropanos, Monreal, Kolasinac

- Ramsey, Xhaka, Seri, Wilshere, Elneny, AMN, Willock

- Auba, Laca, Özil, Mkhi, Under, Iwobi, Welbeck, Nelson, Nketiah

Needs trimming in some areas, could also do with another right-back. But how's that for a squad based on current rumours?

[say yes]

Just get me, Kieran Tierney, Fabihno, Manolas and a decent keeper.

Had to unlike this when I noticed the final word.

Get rid of, Mustafi, Kosh and 100% Xhaka.

That better?

Seri

That would be truly mediocre.

Soyuncu aside all others will not resolve the problems we currently have.
