The Wish List

[HBL]

Cillissen was really good for Barca last night. He’s 29 and probably quite cheap.

I’d take him now to be honest.

His distribution was excellent and handling/positioning seems to be very good, which I like in a keeper. I doubt we’ll spend too much on a keeper. I’d be looking at Cillesen, Pavlenka, Hradecky or a young talent like Lafont or possibly even one of the youth team keepers. Worked for Milan with Donnarumma.

I wouldn't be against something like this, although he is possibly the only goalkeeper in world football worse at saving penalties than the one we have.

 

[Ricardinho]

Oh sell Wilshere as well.

A diamond formation a nice idea on paper but outside of computer games very rarely used.

Madrid won the CL using it last year.

But yeah, it's a pretty complex formation for players to get used to.

Wilsheres contract runs out in June.

Horn cried on the pitch after the draw today.

Let's go Elneny, bring him a smile.

Is he any good? Or to put it better: is he good enough?

If any of the Bundesliga watchers could compare to a premier league keeper that'd be cool.

 

[HBL]

Think we’ll see Auba at LW next season, not sure how I feel about that.
I’d rather we signed a winger but I suppose this wouldn’t be too bad:

Auba - Lacazette - Özil/Mkhi
Özil/Mkhi - Ramsey
Xhaka/ New DM

But surely we don't have any idea what we'll see next season cos there'll be a new coach? How we play right now has no bearing on next season surely.

 

[Ricardinho]

This probably belongs more in the anti-wishlist but how has Joe Hart performed over the season for West ham? Might he be someone the board is looking at due to his contract being up.

Think Sven & the other guys upstairs have more control than we think. A lot of suggestions that the new manager won’t be in control of who we sign etc, that it will Sven and the transfer team.

Yes but that's about recruitment, weren't you talking about team selection? Aubameyang might be playing in the middle if the new coach wants that, the fact he's on the left right now doesn't really mean anything.

 

[Hunta]

Few Liverpool guys on Twitter who got Ox right think they’re signing Butland.

Lovely stuff.

Poorly, we're better off with Ospina or Martinez, his save percentage is 1 of the worst in the division.

Shocking decline for a keeper whos 31. Championship level now if that

He has experience but not what we need in my opinion. I remember when I first saw him at Birmingham - I wanted us to get him so badly as he looked unbelievable but his time has passed

 

[dashsnow17]

Being reported there'll be 50m to spend this summer with room for just the one big signing. Ummm, k. Also saying the reason for that is two record signings and new contracts recently, but I swear there's been a positive net spend and surely the wage bill was also balanced by a number of departures?

I don't quite buy the line that the club has been spending big this last year, it's spent a lot but it's also brought a lot in. 50m is bullsh*t.

 

[Ricardinho]

Talk of only £50m being made available for transfers. Long summer ahead if true.

Well it seems by all means that wenger was not the problem
