The Wish List

[RunTheTrap]

Amine Harit from Schalke. He’s like an attack minded Kovavic. Can play out wide too. Plus Schalke need some money after a very poor season. Maybe £30 million.
Buendia from Norwich. He plays like Cazorla. Simple. Don’t know about you but I’m sold. £20 million
Duje Ćaleta-Car from Marseille. Hot prospect and I believe like Schalke Marseille need some money. I think he’ll cost a lot but I think Gabriel is getting a lot of attention so his price will drive up to. £35 million.
Partey £45 million.
£135 million spent

Out:
Lacazette £25 million
Holding £8 million
Sokratis £3 million
Bellerin £30 million
Guendouzi £30 million
Torreira £25 million
Martinez £20 million
Kolasanic £5 million or use him to trade back with Schalke for Harit.
£141 +- 5 million.

What about Matheus Pereira?
Could plays as CAM, RW, LW, RM, LM


Could add flair and creativity imo.

As CAM/ FWR, RM - 8 Goals, 15 Assists in 36 matches in the Championship, 3 shots per 90, 3 key passes per 90, 1.8 completed dribbles per 90. Average of 7.5 according to whoscored (compared to 6.77's West Brom average).

Second best rated player in the league according to Sofascore.

He seems like a pretty good player offensively and as you say more a number 10 than a Buendia. Both represent the perfect example of his country... Pereira with more classy Brazilian touch, sometimes cocky with that pretty magic. Buendia with more garra, more fighting spirit and definitely better defending. That's why he can works as 8 or cam in 433 in modern football.

If you ask me, personally I would have both.

Ceballos - Partey - Buendía

Pereyra - CF - Behnrama

Then you have a team for the present and the future. And yes, I would sell Pepe, maybe not this year but next. Or if he can rebuild himself as CF... It would be nice and put him there.

Caleta-Car is a really good shout, seems like he can play LCB too. I remember hearing Marseille desperately need some money, only problem is we don't have a lot of money to give them haha.

 

[dashsnow17]

Expensive options: Upamecano, Partey, Luis Alberto, Grealish

Cheaper (probably wiser) options: Gabriel / Caleta-Car, Sangare, Buendia, Benrahma, Edouard

Players who should leave but who won't: Mustafi, Chambers, Kolasinac, Özil

Players who might leave: Sokratis, Holding, Guendouzi, Torreira, Elneny, Lacazette

Players who I'd rather stay but could leave to raise funds if necessary: Martinez, Bellerin, AMN, Willock, Nelson, Nketiah, Auba

Players who will stay but meh: Cedric, Luiz, Mari, Xhaka, Pepe

Key f*cking players: Leno, Saliba, Tierney, Ceballos, ESR, Saka, Martinelli

Mbappe, he’s injured atm. Might be a good time to snap him up cheap.

Yep and we could probably check them Guendouzi to sweeten the deal

Buendia for 20-25M is worth a punt for sure.

But if we’re buying a young central defender from Marseille it has to be Boubacar Kamara for me.

Seen a couple of his games. Very, very skillful but drifted in and out of those games a lot. Still, there's a lot to like about him for sure.

Buendia for 20m and send ESR on loan for a season. That's a good deal for all parties.

Just about to say that, think we could get Buendia for around 15M tho as well, let them have ESR on loan.

I thought that, but then we have no one to cover Buendia. We all know Willock sucks as cam and offers nothing. So I rather loan Willock than ESR

 

[yorch44]

I don't think Arteta will play Auba centrally. He wants someone capable of retaining the ball, who go deep, hold and link. Sometimes as false 9 ... And Auba is not good doing that. Like something Mourinho said once, Auba works better as LW with a CF who drops like Firminho does.

Just think with the recent comments of Arteta wanting a wide player I wonder if he's got an idea to move Aubameyang in the middle.

Or maybe Auba is leaving or He realized Pepe won't make it.

Saka, Pepe can always fill in one game. Or Ceballos more attacking and Xhaka and another CM more defensive.

We have lots of options. Let's worry about our first 11 before we worry about our subs.

Or maybe he does want to move Aubameyang centrally? Guess we'll find soon.

We have options that doesn't work. Ceballos doesn't work as cam, Emery tried and failed miserably. Saka i don't know. I would prefer ESR around and give Willock the loan time.

 

[EinmalImmerEwig]

Ake to Citeh for £40M.
Shame, he would have improved us instantly.
I really hope that we're checking out the players in the relegated teams.
Wonder what the odds are on this fellow joining us for the new season?

Spoiler

The thing about Auba playing LW that makes me worry is Saka's development. Saka is too young to play as a starter every week, but he should be considered a starter imo. In a 4-3-3, LW is his position. LCM is Xhaka.
