Sounds like it's becoming more of a dream with Nico having his heart set on Barca. Even if they can't sign him, I doubt Arteta will get too involved if he knows the player's eyes are elsewhere. I do like the look of Maximilian Beier as a utility forward - gives me some Muller vibes.
Wishlist 2022/2023
I shall call him Maximum Beer.
flobaba Martinelli has suffered primarily due to our extreme ball retention and our tinkering on the left side. He's still the same player as when he had more end product in my opinion—just a touch low on confidence and opportunity last season for these reasons.
He's one of those who gives us purchase in matches that are more difficult territorially. A decision to jettison him would amount to a declaration we're going to continue rarely playing on the transition. Maybe in those terms it's justified but I don't think his talent or potential have truly dropped off.
Best case scenario is he develops his game.
Any chance we get Fabian Ruiz out of PSG? Would be perfect as our left sided 8 and might be just what we need to revitalise Martinelli.

Wanted him when he was at Napoli, went for cheap as well. Would have been ideal next to Rice.
Olmo is better than Ruiz for me who's getting on abit as well. 29 innit.
The more I think about it, would make sense shifting both Vieira and Esr for Olmo
Olmo is more an attacking player and or wide player isn't he? We need a proper No.8 not an attacking player.
€60m release clause for Olmo but the guy is very injury prone.

Oh you're right. Didn't know it's that bad
Vitinha and Nusa.
If Williams is so hung up on Barca, maybe we can take advantage of them needing to sell to afford him and can pivot to this wishlist:
Calafiori
Frenkie De Jong
Xavi Simons
Kel Varnsen but powderpuffery mate
If we are going to go for someone like Vitinha, would rather go for the younger, more defensive option in Joao Neves.
Maybe, but they are both special.
samthegooner houseboat rumors that PSG has offered €90m + a player for him.
samthegooner how about another Joao. The Gomes variety?
lorddulaarsenal nah, too limited.
He’s an Aldi Bruno.
I want Mikel Merino

Williams, Kvaratskhelia, Doue, or Simons
Would take Eze too but would be a bit underwhelming
