HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

Klaus

I've mostly seen Bremer in highlights but he always looks good. I know he's highly rated in Serie A. He's younger than I thought he was! I thought he was around 30.

Bissouma is the perfect signing for us and makes so much sense, but I want the sexual assault thing to be cleared up first. Think it won't just reflect badly on the club if he's found guilty; we'll have a player on our hands who is both unsellable and unplayable if that happens.

lorddulaarsenal

That’s true. Not sure when that be settled one way or the other

Grillitsch would be a good Elneny replacement

He would, but that's about it in my opinion and that's not a high bar. Would rather have Sammassékou if we sign a Hoffenheim midfielder.

Lots of links about Gabriel to Barca big money move. Need to tie him down to a new contract soon?

Love him to bits but would be tempted to cash in if more than 50m is offered and Saliba comes back.

He's our best and most important defender and I don't think we'd improve on him for less than £50m. If the club thought there were better defenders for less than that they wouldn't have spent it on White.

Clrnc

That's true and also its why big clubs are after Gabriel anyway

Gazza M

some local napoli journo says we've made overtures to osimhen. read a few articles where his doctors have said hes been recovering rapidly from his eye/cheek injury. assuming that's the case, he looks to have most of what I'd want in a no 9. his all round game would lift us so much

lorddulaarsenal

Definitely. He’d be my number one choice at this stage. Type of player that can dig us out of trouble

QuincyAbeyie

Osimhen is the perfect striker, except for his injuries. If they predict that his history won't repeat itself they should break the bank for him

lorddulaarsenal

Linked to Edon Zhegrova.

Really like the look of him. We don’t have anyone in the squad with quick feet like he has, and the ability to throw defenders of balance with his agility.

lorddulaarsenal

Looks like Paredes may be available this summer. We need to be all over that

lorddulaarsenal

Lot of talk we’re after Tielemans - really don’t want him

ohboy

Atrocious off the ball

Would be okay as a squad option, but not mobile enough for me

QuincyAbeyie

He's been one of the best CMs in the league previously, but his form the second half of this season does worry me. It's fallen completely off a cliff, who knows if it's just a dip in form or something else.

Clrnc

He looked terrible in the conference league too. Not sure what happened to him

He's being linked with United, Spurs, etc too. Feels like its just his agent putting out feelers.

That said I'd take him in a heartbeat. His forms dipped but he's been one of the best midfielders in the league for the last few years. He'd be a huge upgrade on Xhaka.

Klaus

Definitely. Neves, Tielemans, Philips... yeah you have to overpay a bit for them in the current market, but they're good players at the right age and with plenty of Premier League experience, who'd raise the level of our midfield. More importantly all of them would provide an option to Partey too which would mean that we won't collapse in a spectacular way every time he gets injured.

goon

Tielemens definitely has his weaknesses but given he's likely to be quite cheap I don't think you can go wrong with him. On his day he's superb. If you want a quick, forward thinking passer who often looks for central passing options there's not many better. Worst case scenario he'll be a good squad option.

lorddulaarsenal

Neves is good but I’m put off by his lack of pace. Tielemans is just meh. Phillips no thanks - good hussle but that’s about it.

We need dynamism mixed with technical ability - shame Kondogbia isn’t available. He’s turned in to a star

MistaT

Tielemens would be fine if we persist with Partey at the base, and Ode/Tielemens ahead. We'd certainly improve our possession rates, and he is a progressive passer. Could see him and Martinelli striking up a great understanding.

Not sure I'm excited by Tielemens alongside Partey in a 4-2-3-1 though.

So yeah, I'd take him but not for silly money.
