HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

QuincyAbeyie

Caicedo does look great. Would probably be very hard to get him when they've already sold Bissouma and Cucurella.

lorddulaarsenal

Yep would call for a big fee Quince.

We need that bastardly good winger. Saka and Martinelli are getting too many minutes and Pepe seems marginalised - probably will exit the club soon

Caicedo will be better than Bissouma. Guy is fantastic for his age

lorddulaarsenal

Think so too. Just seems more agile. Bissouma is excellent but he’s quite stiff with his movements.

Yeah, the winger will only come if we are able to offload Pepe for a decent fee.

Would you guys take Caicedo and Gakpo to close the window?

Think I would

pass on gakpo, would just be squad filler. if we get a winger, go big and get a blue chip, or soon to be blue chip

Clrnc

Edu takes Ryanair?!

goon

Really hoping for a madness, I don't even care which position it's in if it's someone top class.

TambourineMan

I sense a madness. There's good vibes at the club now and I think Arteta/Edu will ride that wave to persuade the board into one more big signing. Maybe two.

Sicario

Yes please

QuincyAbeyie

No thanks

ohboy

He gave Bellerin the complete runaround a couple years back, but since then injuries and off the pitch stuff has derailed him.

There might be a player in there, but I would not pay any more than £20 mil tops for him.

Also his tracking back and work rate off the ball makes uncomfortable watching, especially when supposedly Arteta values that side of the game.

Arsenal should be targeting better at this stage.

Qwiss

If he was cheap and would happily take being a rotation option then ok.

Gazza M

id take him as cheap depth, if we're keeping powder dry for a big midfielder. don't think he'd be cheap though (30m+), and wouldn't be interested in being a rotational option. certainly wouldn't want him walking into the side at the expense of developing esr or marti, it wouldn't be worth it

lorddulaarsenal

Definitely would take CHO. Great talent and a different option to what we have. Can stand up a man and beat him and would combine with others so well. fantastic passer

Clrnc

30m would probably be worth it given his potential

jones

I'd try asking for a loan, he doesn't really seem to feature in Tuchel's plans. He's more talented than Pulisic imo who's ahead of him.

His injuries are a big worry though, he's had severe achilles problems in the past I think. Since Chelsea are still spending big we could also ask for Ziyech for cover at RW, he's a big Arsenal fan and would probably push for the move.

Qwiss

No thanks on Ziyech, he's 29 would require big wages and has a habit of disappearing in games. Plus he's been a bit injury prone since joining Chelsea.

jones

29 wouldn't be a bad age profile considering our options on the wings. He'd be an experienced stopgap with plenty of quality on the ball, in his Ajax form he'd be a nailed on starter for us even.

Fair point about the injuries though, loan would cover that risk to an extent.
