If you don't want Raphinha and Nico Williams goes to Barca, where do we go? We need to strengthen both the LCM and add another winger to push on from last year IMO.

Would you rather gamble on Neto's health than go with Raphinha?

    I'd only take an upcoming talent like Doue or one of the South Americans if we also were bringing in someone like Eze or Neto that would definitely move the needle this year. We need someone who is going to push Martinelli for his starting spot this year from day 1 in order for us to continue to grow and win the title this year, which should be the goal. My only issue with Eze on the wing is the lack of true gamebreaking transition speed between him and Saka. That being said, he would vastly improve our left side dynamics and allow us to break down mid/low blocks more easily.

    Proper wishlist post but could you imagine? That team would be devastating.

    Assuming Calafiori is done, I'd like:

    • A 8/LW hybrid, maybe Xavi Simons? David Dein's son is his agent so he'd presumably have good relationship with the club. Or a pure LW like Kvaratskhelia but with Osimhen likely moving this summer, I doubt Napoli would entertain any offers for their Georgian as well.
    • A CDM, Kimmich/Zubimendi type to progress play from deep.

    Am a little concerned going into the new season with no change to the attack or midfield. We can't be reliant on Havertz as a left 8 and Rice at 6**, and we need some magic from the left so those would be my priority fixes for the rest of the summer. Let's hope we get it done but I think with the Euros/Copa and slow outgoings we may struggle to get through the door what we need.

    **No problem with Rice at 6 if we have a Ruiz type at 8 but not with Havertz in that position.

    david dein's son? that rat fucker and his shitty offspring are only about fucking over arsenal.

      Meatwad yeah I'd avoid anyone who has Dein as their agent.

        Darren Dein does not have a good relationship with the club and nor does his father as far as I know. Fabregas, RvP and Adebayor are some of his past clients at Arsenal, I think a lot of us were relieved when all the players he represented left the club!

        Pepe LeFrits The Athletic just posted their Arsenal sensible transfers - it's Zubimendi, Merino or Ruiz, and Williams.

        If only it was the "Athletic Bilbao"

          I’m all in.
