The Wish List

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

It’s probably best that we pick the best of the bunch and mold them to our system.

A lot of established LWs aren’t adequately coached and may not have the impact we need here. I’d rather take someone with the right raw qualities and let Arteta’s system do the rest.

Just look at Bournemouth they brought Kroupi from Lorient, Rayan from Brazil, or Semenyo from Bristol City...
If Arteta consider Kroupi like a superstar , there is no reason to not bring a high potential attacker ..
Or maybe Arteta can't develop them...

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Alex Scott, contract running down, he's a must.

 

[A_G]

Btw cheeky bid for Estevao in Jan?

Sure, we could use another left footed RW

 

[Sungod]

Right Footed Attackers please who can dribble head up and can handle physiclity of PL.

Better than Noni ffs

He's been getting a lot of hype recently - but doesn't seem to have much end product in assists at least.

He's a good right sided 8 but we have a few 8's already and the truth is the the desire is driven off a compulsion to block other teams from getting him. He would improve Liverpool massively. Us, not so much.

I'd prefer we find a true deep playmaker that also has defensive chops.

 

[Diesel]

Get Pedro.

Football isn't just about G/A numbers, especially for a CM. He's been one of the best midfielders in the league for a year now.

Get Pedro.

To play where?

Cf. When we sell Gyok and Kai inevitably gets hurt.

Lol, you don't sign a striker like Pedro to be a back up. We need a winger. when we sell Gyok, go for the next up and coming CF.

I thought he was an attacking mid. I agree on the G/A bit for a central mid.

No, very much box to box, defends well, smooth on the ball. A bit of a Vitinha type, well rounded.

Madueke OUT, Rayan IN (Bruno and Gabriel will lure him to Arsenal)
Gyo OUT, Kroupi IN (Saliba agent)
Yildiz IN

Yildiz - Havertz - Saka

Tzolis - Kroupi - Rayan

A man can dream no?

 

[TeeBee]

No idea why we pursued dear Julián (who always wanted Barca and Atléti had no intention of selling, anyway), when the player we needed from Atléti was Álex Baena (left-sided, hard-working, creative and scores goals), who looks like a Spanish Bobby Pires. Similarly, as wonderfully ambitious as Vini was, could our investment of time have been more productive if we'd targeted Enrick? Surely, the more realistically attainable of the two, esp. in light of the signing of Yan Diomandé.

That's precisely what it will remain.

There is no way in hell Bournemouth are sanctioning the sales of both Rayan & Kroupi, nor is this club paying Rayan's release clause & whatever extorbitant fee Bournemouth place on Kroupi.

Buy the club then?

We need to go first for Kroupi in January. I truly believe that bournemouth will sell him once they are getting a high enough money for him. An offer too good to refuse.

Then we need to get rid of Madueke and Gyo in the summer. If we get £120m for them, we can spend that money on Rayan.

LW: Kroupi/Tzolis/Eze
CF: Havertz/Rayan/Kroupi
RW: Saka/Rayan/Dowman

We don't even need Yildiz to be honest....

I'd only take Rayan if we're fully converting him to CF (which is where I think he'll end up long term). Even if we sell Madueke, we have a RW prospect coming in called Edwin Quintero who IMO will turn a LOT of heads. That's notwithstanding the fact that both Dowman and Nwaneri can play there although both players will eventually end up central. I don't think we need to get Rayan to play RW.

Just Kroupi will do, and even then, it might just be that we don't go for Kroupi. A lot can change in a year and we might see a bigger, focal point-type striker come to the fore next Summer for us to look at. I'd be more interested in seeing how Cristian Kofane develops this season. He looks incredibly raw but he's one of the very few CFs that genuinely looked threatening against us. He hasn't really played yet but Alvaro Rodriguez is someone I want to see more of in the PL. Also, keep an eye out for Will Lankshear. Ex-Hale End who moved to Sp**s - already looks like the most dangerous man in the Championship. Should be interesting to see where he ends up in a couple of years.

As far as LW, I don't see Kroupi being a great option there either. Feels like trying to reinvent the wheel a little just to do something with him. Kroupi is a great talent with an incredible finishing USP in a time of few true bagsmen. Tzolis looks like he will eventually hit some goals for us but someone with a bit more dribbling nous would be a good offset and Kroupi isn't really that player. We should really be looking at Tyrique George and I've been saying that since we were linked with Noni. His short time so far at Everton proving that. Another one to watch is Ryan Roberto. Hasn't really featured much for Shakhtar but watch this space.

 

[Mudi]

Kroupi is an inside winger / second striker. Evanilson/Kluivert is playing CF. Kroupi can play the same. Of Havertz in a 442 or from the wing as inside forward.

Rayan will be a CF, you can see the ingredients.
