Some interesting names there - some I know and some new ones. He's likely not gettable, but Conor Gallagher has looked really good every time I've seen him play this season. Very experienced for his age as well.

It is kind of crazy that in this day and age unknown players can still be discovered, but I feel it is very unlikely that we will sign an unknown quantity at cf.

They are all pretty young, playing in inferior leagues. They are either extremely expensive or cheap. There doesn't seem to be an in-between price. So I think the scouting that is being done will revolve around what they bring to the group. What do they bring to the training ground, the changing room. What do they bring in adversity. How do they communicate? How do they handle pressure? What are their motivations? Would they settle and do they want to be connected to the fans?

I think we definitely need an extrovert as a striker. We need the Ramsdale type personality at cf.

Most expensive

Vlahovic
Isak
Nunes
Osimhen

HG tax

DCL
Abraham
Toney

Probably in the 50 million terriroty

Gouiri
David
Adeyemi

Cheap punts

Cabral
Scammaca

In reality we will need 2 strikers. Personally I would go for Cabral on the cheap in January while we still have Auba and Laca on the books and see if he can really force his way into the team and impact our game. I genuinely believe there is nothing that Vlahovic can do that Cabral can't, and some to be honest.

I think Nunes is also quite similar, but I wouldn't spend an insane amount of money on him after researching his knee problems.

Isak has the right temperament and experience. What you get with him is everything, without putting it all together. I feel like he is smart and the type of player Arteta would want to work with.
 
Surely arteta will convince whoever he needs to that top 4 is possible. With that being said, youโ€™d have to imagine theyโ€™re looking at a midfield AND a forward/winger right? I still dream of bissouma but if not they should sign kessie (no longer in CL) or zakaria. Iโ€™m really not sure about forward but if theyโ€™re loaning someone in its gonna be a punt Iโ€™m sure (jovic).
Not that itโ€™d ever happen but I feel like the way we want to play, depay would fit like a glove at 9.
Long term..underlying stats look pretty good on gouiri and Jonny David

If I was managing Arsenal's transfer market and was given this list, I think I would go for Declan Rice, Luis Dรญaz and one of Vlahovic/Alvarez.

Yeah, I know, there are clubs at the moment with more investment capacity and that are just more attractive, but these would be my primary targets. I think that with these players we could really step up to the next level.

Iโ€™ll second that but Iโ€™m officially off of the vlahovic train. I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s anyway he will prove to be worth what the asking price is. Looks like he canโ€™t pass, one footed, scores a lot of pens. If we spend that much on a striker and I think we should, itโ€™s lautaro for me. I hate to say it but Iโ€™m starting to come around on Tammy also. I think hed fit in well and would be motivated player for arsenal

We could create 19-20 Real Sociedad on steroids by signing Isak. They played 4-3-3 with ร˜degaard as RCM and Isak as CF, Oyarzabal and Portu on the wings. Very productive side offensively, finished 6th in the league.

There was a lot of talk about Ivan Toney as an option after the Brentford match where they dominated us. I know that @Rex Banter has been a huge fan from the start as well. He's dropped down the wish list a bit because he hasn't really hit the numbers this season, but was reading a F365 article on "The best PL 11 outside the Top 3" and they have Toney ranked as number one based on his WhoScored ranking (he's currently on a massive 7.45).

Just wondering whether his underlying stats are actually far better than his goal and assist numbers are showing? They've got his finishing, hold up play, through balls, key passes and aerials all listed as strengths. Sounds ideal if he could thrive in a team with more service.

Anyone seen much of Brentford this year who can say how he's been doing?

I was a fan of his as well from watching him in the Championship but I had my reservations in regards to his hold up game. He was always smart and had good awareness of others around him but he wasn't showing it a lot. He was moreso fed by others. This season though he often had to do the playmaking for others. Even with his average goal record this season he's been sensational in every other aspect. He used to remind me van Nistelrooy but nowadays he plays like Berbatov or Ibra with his all around game. And on top of that he's great in the air.
Brentford's tactics this season have dried up his goals but if he starts bagging them in often too he's gonna be a monster of a striker.

He's not going to be cheap but he seems like the ideal Laca replacement in the summer if we don't extend his contract. Reckon he gets considerably more goals in our team as well.

Ruben Neves
Luis Diaz to replace Pepe
Patrick Shick
Sign Lacazette to a short term extension

Would be the perfect signings for the next two windows. Plus perfectly attainable players who will all see Arsenal as a step-up.

With Partey, AMN and Elneny going soon we really need backup.

I hope this rumor picks up again, he's elite, a replacement for Xhaka and a huge upgrade.

It will probably take a huge bid, not sure we got those kinds of funds, or that they will sell. I'd be positively surprised if there was anything in this....

I'm hearing we won't make any movement in January. He was available for 35M last summer.

Poverty bump. This not happening until summer. He will have 2 years remaining in 2022 so good chance of buying him i think it'll be between him and Bruno Guimaraes.

To me, Isak makes a lot of sense.

1. He's already got an understanding with ร˜degaard.
2. He drifts into pockets on the left, which would allow Martinelli to make them diagonal runs.
3. He has a great touch, which is good for build up play.
4. Athletic presence.
5. Good age and will only get better
