The Wish List

[OnlyOne]

No mate thats from an article from multiple scouts who watch Leverkusen week in week out. You can't use your little gimpy tricks on this one.

Lets see it

 

[Fewtch]

Florian Wirtz largely positions himself in the left half space.

He doesn't play as an out and out left winger, it's more like a Cazorla LW role when he played out there.

Cazorla LW implies there's an overlapping LB in the system. We don't do that. We need a winger winger

 

[MikelHadADream]

Rodrygo, Williams, Zubimendi, some random CF


—————Raya
Timber—Saliba—Gabi—MLS
———Zubi——-Rice
Saka——Rodrygo——Williams
————Kai/CF

 

[squallman]

Out:
Havertz
Partey
Tomiyasu
Zinchenko
Jesus
Sterling (I know his loan will end but no "he's great with the kids" garbage, give him a coaching contract then so he doesnt take up space in the squad)
Partey (so nice I'm saying it twice)

In:
Who cares, just sell them if it doesnt work out*

*No Chelsea or City rejects

Dream starting 11 going into next season -

Raya
Timber - Saliba - Gabs - Ait Nouri
MLS - Zubimendi - Rice
Saka - Havertz - Wirtz

Dream team and Havertz are not compatible.

 

[ragnarock]

Samu Omorodion came to mind.
Went to trusted YT for comp.
Looks like a pure donkey.
Scores floated crosses with his head though.

Welcome Samu.

 

[Hinderz]

I don’t think we need a lot in terms of numbers

- Osimhen - best of the available striker
- Gittens - more pace and threat from wide
- Stiller - progressive passing monster to replace Partey
- A spare keeper

An extra CM like Nypan would be a bonus

 

[Red London]

Somewhat realistic wishlist would be:

Williams/Rodrygo
Gyokeres
El Khannouss
Zubimendi
Huijsen
Garcia

However that would cost around £280-300m, so can of course drop one of Huijsen or Garcia for cheaper alternatives if required.

Raya
Timber Saliba Gabriel MLS
Zubi
Ødegaard Rice
Saka Gyokeres Williams/Rodrygo

Depth: Garcia, White, Huijsen, Calafiori, Partey, Merino, El Khannouss, Martinelli, Havertz.

Isn't stiller the bloke with that gigantic honker of a snout?

 

[Clrnc]

Watching the Argentinian Derby and Franco Mastantuono is ridiculous. 17 years of age and plays like prime Riquelme.

Dont think I have ever seen a young player as good as him in shooting. Must get.

With another great goal today in Copa Libatadores. Please Berta just get him

They will possibly be against this because of Nwaneri.

 

[MikelHadADream]

I’m pretty clear what we need:

Ball striking CF:

Isak/Osimhen/Gyokeres/Sesko

1v1 direct left winger with pace:

Rodrygo/Williams/Leao/Gittens/Gordon

Productive AM/10:

Simmons, Cunha

All resources go towards signing those three types of players.

If there’s anything left, Arteta can tickle his fancy with Garcia and a hybrid CB.

Need to get at least one of the first names on these lists.

Yeah agreed. Rodrygo would be immense as you could play him in the 10 role I believe.

 

[KarenSprayGooners]

The only thing I would say is I believe we will get at least one from within the premier league. We have a habit of going for prem players.

Yeah, fair point. Mikel definitely values that. It will be interesting to see if Berta follows suit.

The prem players I’d want this summer are all either likely too expensive (Isak), or on the verge of signing elsewhere (Cunha).

 

[Kobi]

Garcia
Hato (MLS to midfield)
Zubimendi
Cunha
Williams

Watkins seems to have fallen out with Emery, he's not a wow signing but would come in and do everything we need him too to a good level. (His age might be an issue though).

If we don't go big on a CF possibly spreading the money on 2-3 upgrades might work, 30m on Delap (release clause) and 40m on a young versatile forward. Chuck the rest into the LW budget etc.

 

[ChefMan21]

What's our budget?
