What’s his name?

I resisted the urge for a joke Dules - glad you're here.

How would you guys feel about this for next season?

———————Ramsdale
Tomiyasu-White/Saliba—Gabriel—Tierney
————————Partey
———Odegaard——-Tielemans
—Saka———-Jesus———Gnabry

QuincyAbeyie

Good, but mostly because I would've played Gnabry up top and benched Jesus for ESR.

lorddulaarsenal

Those seem to be the most strongly linked

Qwiss

Don't think the links to Gnabry are real.

Jesus, Tielemens and Hickey seem to be the main ones. Don't think thats close to enough.

lorddulaarsenal

I think we’re more likely to get Zinchenko now that Cucurella is going to City. Not sure if that would be at the expense of Hickey or Tielemans

Qwiss

If we are in for him at all. At the moment any City player who even considers moving is immediately linked to Arsenal.

Swap flanks for Saka and Gnabry.
Gnabry mainly plays as RWF which is where he'd play if you are signing him for his goals, as Saka can play as an Inverted Winger on the left as the FB doesn't look to always overlap in the 433.

Don't think it would mean one or the other as we need depth and he can cover both positions and roles.

Which is completely understandable given Arteta came from there and knows the players, and the players are not only EPL ready but are also familiar with the style of play Arteta wants and in positions we need to improve to become 'fit for purpose'.

In many ways it's a bit like us selling MC half a UCL experienced team which allowed them to break into/consolidate top4 and win their 1st silverware under the new owners. Whilst it may seem like more cast-offs it could be very effective to get us into top4 if funds are tight, before we look to sign some Elite level players once we get there.

Gnabry has always looked more effective on the left cutting in - destroyed Spurs there a few seasons back

May well be a moot point as it appears LFC are interested with Mane looking to go the other way.

Bissouma twerking for us

lorddulaarsenal

Provided it turns out he isn’t rapey then let’s keep it simple this summer and do the obvious

Saliba
Zinchenko
Bissouma
Gnabry
Striker

ohboy

Would be phenomenal

Depending on who goes, I think there should be more money.

Tielemans would also be in there.

Tielemans and Bissouma would be a game changer for this team along with Gnabry.

Anzac

TBH IMO getting in the right CF in will be the biggest game changer.

MistaT

I actually think I'd rather Zinchencko than Tielemans.

Arteta will have a decent read on what Zinchenko can do, and he's a player that I think is ascending. Fewer miles on him, great training under Pep, and he could cover for Tierney.

What of a midfield of the following? Feels balanced, and would relieve a little pressure from being so reliant on our right wing. Only worry, is that Zinchenko and Odegaard don't have great drive to get into the box.

Zinchenko -- Odegaard
----- Partey -----

With El Neny and Lokonga as back up.

lorddulaarsenal

Bissouma!

Gazza M

he's pretty much the perfect two way midfielder I'd want us to get. if we can find someone with his qualities elsewhere, we should be all over it

QuincyAbeyie

Would love it if he's innocent.
