Try and get Kessie

https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-atletico-alexandre-lacazette-transfer-20621432 Griezmann, 30, could re-join Atletico Madrid in a swap deal that would see Portuguese Joao Felix head to Barca, although the Catalan club are not convinced by the offer. (Sport - in Spanish) If Atletico offered us the same deal it could be tempting.
For who Laca or Auba?
Give both of them up to the Atletico age old home. I would do unspeakable things to get Joao Felix
Can't imagine he'd come here anyway. What young striker with that profile would want to play in a team that creates so little and are so far away from titles? Not even in the CL or EL and only a maybe for the EL conference. These very high profile players are out of reach.
Linked with Montpelier right back Junior Sambia.
After doing little bit of research , he seems to be a versatile player who can play in central midfield as well as on the right flank.
He's not really the sort of right back I was hoping would replace Bellerin
Well our last two right backs who were converted central midfielders ended up doing fantastically.
Maybe we will get lucky third time as well.
Looks interesting. Raw but physically impressive
We need more running power throughout the team
We is being linked to Dusan Vlahovic
I like that link. We don’t have a striker of his profile in the squad. Physical sharp shooter
Credible link? Seems like a great profile. Would be weird utilization of funds unless we're selling a forward though.
I can see it happening. Don’t think Arteta is mad on any of our strikers
Vlahovic is really exciting but I think we owe it to ourselves to back Martinelli now.
I think no matter what we need a plan B for a striker and Vlahovic is a great one at that. Reminds me of Dzeko the way he plays
Shouldn't get our hopes up. Too highly valued for us.
I’m with Klaus. We have to back Martinelli. If and only if we have decided he can handle the rigors of a full premier league season, and his injury issues are behind him. We also have Balogun waiting in the wings. We’ve wasted the dosh or possible budget we had in the striker department on a semi-retired Aubameyang. One day we’ll stop letting players hold us to ransom over a good season when we know they’ll be in decline shortly.
I really don't understand or like this idea of "backing" players. Clearing paths for them is not how you win more football matches.
We haven't cleared a path for anyone. Aubameyang will still play most of our games for another season or two and I reckon whoever thinks otherwise are kidding themselves. What's the point in signing another young striker beyond that though when you have Martinelli? Is that a proper way to use whatever funds we have when we have no rightbacks and only one central midfielder? Does that make us win more football matches? Some common sense need to be applied here.
Auba is not looking good and Marty is more of a a winger. He and Balogun are young and it's not like either are Mbappe level talents. If we sell Laca we should buy a striker.
Well I disagree. I think we struggle to create chances, not to finish them. We're going to be in for another shit season if we don't start to focus more on the former.
