Would be mega.

Let’s sort this circus out once and for all.

In:
Upamecano or Diego Carlos
Partey
Rabiot (loan)

Out:
Xhaka
Mustafi

Then come summer:

Sell Aubameyang and Lacazette

Bring in Dembele, or Jovic and Zaha.

End Ceballos loan and get a gem of a creative midfielder, Aouar, Foden, Grealish

Then add a powerful utility man - Adama Troare

Selling/binning - elneny, sokratis, Mkhitaryan, and kolasinac

I like it. A few tweaks on my end:

Winter
In: Upamecano, Rabiot
Out: Xhaka, Mustafi (and their demons)

Summer:
In: Jovic, Thuram, Aouar, Saliba
Out: everyone you said + Ozil

Nice. If we truly wanted to get back anywhere near the top it’s the sort of action we need to take

Ray

If we want Partey we need to act now whilst he still has that £40m or so release clause. That will be gone by the summer.

Claudius

Don’t know if we can afford both Partey and Upamecano now. From a midfield standpoint, Rabiot is probably a better bet. Might be able to get him on loan right now and he can probably come right in and Be a good 2-way mid.

Clrnc

We are strongly linked with Gabriel as well since we desperate need CB improvements. Would take a punt on him

flobaba

Which Gabriel?

Klaus

😆 The Lille defender, not Gabriel Paulista.

Rabiot is very talented but wouldn't you be worried about adding another poisonous character to the dressing room? I get the feeling we need unity and a decent team spirit just as much as we need quality.

It'd be a lot easier to take fuck ups for young players like Gabriel, Holding, Saliba, etc than it is from Luiz, Mustafi and Sokratis. At least you'd feel there was a chance they were learning and could improve. Its only more drop off from the older 3.

Claudius

I don’t know how poisonous he himself is, to be honest. His biggest problem might be that, like Pépé, he is a bit introverted and might struggle to make quick friendships and fit in with the other players quickly. His crazy agent mother is th biggest issue. But I imagine he will hear the clock ticking after wasting time at PSG and Juve

Qwiss

I just think he's been more trouble than he's worth for a while now. Not a player I'd put in our disgruntled dressing room with a rookie manager. Its just another headache Arteta doesn't need.

Forgive me. I am still badly traumatized.

Yep, I wouldn't take more Luizes either even if they came for free. Think it's fair to say that transfer policy has been a failure for us.

Ideally we'd look at someone who's both experienced and youngish to put next to Saliba next season though. I thought that maybe Chambers could be that player, but if he's out with an ACL we probably have to bring in someone. Not too sure about Gabriel with that in mind. I think we need someone in their mid-20s.

Holding maybe, but he looks so dodgy that it's impossible to not have concerns about his longterm fitness. And he has played very little actual football too for someone who will be 25 at the start of next season. It's just not ideal.

Claudius

Klaus. I’m over shortcuts. We scouted a brilliant kid. It’s a bit roughy to bring him in early but he’s played about 10 top level games already this year. He can come in and do a job. And then his countryman Upamecano is one of the best young prospects globally. We’ve been tracking him. Time to stop Dicking around and get him.

And tell Mustafi to go to Turkey or Germany now. We can deal with everyone else in the summer.

Ray

Reminds me of Arshavin, also would be good to see Chelsea have another player they regret selling too early.

Klaus

Emiliano Buendía looks to me like the kind of player Ceballos was marketed as. Incredible form over the past two months, although it has gone a bit unnoticed because Norwich are beyond bad. If they get relegated we should try for him.

Klaus

Make a £30 million deal for him to come here in the summer.

Coombs

Very interesting. Have to admit I haven't paid any attention to Norwich.

Segway

Crazy idea here but with Calum Chambers injured, I'm thinking we could do a Källström-esque loan deal for Simon Kjær.

He's very experienced, a leader and great in the air. He's easy to get because he doesn't play much at Atalanta and while not perfect, he's much better than Mustafi.
