The Wish List

[MikelHadADream]

In: Sancho, Ödegaard (Loan with obligation), Ricardo Perriera, Isak, Berge, Bertrand (Free)

Out: Lacazette, Eddie, Pepe, Bellerin, AMN, Nelson, Willock, Mavropanos.

Very wish listy type list, but that would be so good. The idea of having Sancho and Saka on either flank is just so appealing. I don't think long term it's wise to have both Pepe and Saka in the same squad, both are best at RW, so obviously Pepe has to make way. I think given his recent form as well there would be buyers, could imagine him doing really well for Conte at Inter.

--------------------Leno-------------
Ricardo---Saliba--Gabriel--KT
------------Partey--Xhaka--------
Saka-------Ödegaard----Sancho
-------------------Auba------------

Would require CL, getting fee's for the players I mentioned as well as Kroenke investment, so it's a dream scenario.

Gabriel Menino, Joan Jordan, Emi Buendia

 

[dashsnow17]

Gabriel Menino looks like a really interesting profile, a young player already called up to the Brazil senior team. Has played CB, DM and now RB. Very good technique on the ball. I think he could end up being a big player, someone who can do what Arteta wants at RB and even move into midfield in the future a la Kimmich. Mazraoui also a good option at RB.

Joan Jordan is very underrated, he's a class midfielder, impeccable passer and he has the legs to get up and score as well as get back and defend. Best partner for Partey out there right now imo. They would ball together.

Buendia, Aouar or Ödegaard are the no. 10 options for me, I might go for Buendia simply cos I think he has potential for not only assists and pressing, but also goals, we really lack goals from midfield. I love Ödegaard but i'm not sure he'll ever really add goals to his game. Would take any of the 3 though tbh.

Still possible.

Leno/Maty
Lamptey/Cedric --Saliba/Holding--Gabriel/Mari--Tierney/Amavi
Partey/Soumaré-Sabitzer/Xhaka
ESR/Buendia
Saka/Pepe--Auba/Gouiri--Martinelli/Willian

I think we can use 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 with this team

Ryan, Kouilibaly, Bogle, Bertrand, Bissouma, Ceballos, Ödegaard, Balogun new deal.

Out: Runnarson, Luiz, Holding, Mavrapanos, Bellerin, Kola, Xhaka, Douzi, El Neny, AMN, Nelson, Torreria, Lacazette.

[Impact]

Patrick Bamford.

Contract expires in 2022. Entering his peak at 27/28 after a breakout season this year. Has become a complete forward under Bielsa and would fit in seamlessly into an Arteta outfit. Has the ability to play with, and deputise, for Aubameyang too.

 

[B77]

Maxence Lacroix from Wolfsburg. What a player! Really hope we are monitoring him, before he reach Upamecano hype and be out of our reach

Ok with this but rather have ESR at 10, bigger impact.

Neither play 10. I feel like this is a reach. Buendia may be able to make the adjustment if needed.

Also, ESR should start at 10, so are we looking for a backup option in case he is injured?

Idk, they're all good players, does it really matter, we just need a midfielder who'll create chances and score goals, who cares if they're a '10' or not. 10 is a nebulous term these days anyway.

These players are going nowhere, so we need to add to this base. You are missing 3 of them.

 

[Rimaal]

I wish Kroenke would sell Arsenal to Jeff Bezos who bored after leaving Amazon and needing a new project for his money and time, aims to make us into the biggest club in the world.

 

[Goonger]

Franck Kessie anyone? Is he too similar in style to play alongside Partey?

Another that only has 1 year left in his deal come the summer.

Exactly what I thought when I was watching the game, him and Partey would be a serious midfield. He seems very happy at Milan though, I don't think he'd leave unless it was a significant step up, and Milan could be playing CL next year while we might not even have EL. So I can't see it happening, but it'd be cool.

 

[ChefMan21]

Wouldn't mind:

1. Milinkovic-Savic - another big body in the midfield, who adds technical quality and goals. Him and Partey together, with Ödegaard or ESR, seems pretty exciting to me.
2. Demiral. Not really getting much of a run at Juventus, could be a good bargain.
3. Aarons
4. Donnarumma (free)
5. Thiago Almada (buy) or Puig (loan, option to buy)

I assume our spending over the next 24 months will be fairly consistent with previous seasons, so I think that's achievable with some sales.
