There are no sure things when switching leagues IMO but it's tough to ignore the production of Sesko over the second half of the season when he really started to hit his stride. His production in the league this year as a 20 year old was pretty on par with 24 year old Osimhen (14g/2a vs 15g/3a) while playing 400 less minutes in the league. I think Osimhen is a lot rawer of a player than he gets credit for due to his incredible season last year. I'm sold personally.
Wishlist 2022/2023
i've moved on from osimhen. good footballing ability, bad availability.
Burnwinter I'm betting it's more about his personality.

i say we cut out the middle man and sign a player like Brajan Gruda directly from Mainz instead of waiting for a mid to top German club to buy him and then try to sell him for 80m in a year or two (unless it's Bayern who will just keep him forever).
Doc probs my number one target. He’s a buzzard
Coombs It could well be. He and Eze are mad chess players apparently—we should definitely sign go nerds instead where possible.
Burnwinter wait, really? Or is that just a burn on us chess addicts?
Seems like Olise knows chess but Eze doesn't, really.

Coombs See above
I have developed an irrational liking for Eberechi Eze. I am not sure why but i'd love to see him at The Arsenal.
P.S. - I think its the attitude with which he plays.
Prefer Olise but Eze probably is less of an injury risk
Cannon It's not irrational at all, he's a lovely footballer to watch. Great guy too, by all accounts.
Plus, for us to sign him would be a hell of a story given we released him as a kid. I'd be super happy to see him in our colours.
RocktheCasbah Yeah, Its just I am not sure how he would fit in tactically hence i said 'irrational'. Agree on everything else you said. Would be a great story and very special if we end up winning the PL with him in the team.

Back-up goalie if Rambo leaves
That's it.
Yeah we need a bit more than a Partey replacement and a backup goalie to overhaul 115 plus FC.
Just throw everything we got at Joao Neves? Looking forward to watching more of him tonight.
