Kel Varnsen

Vitinha and Nusa.

lorddulaarsenal

Kel Varnsen but powderpuffery mate

samthegooner

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

lorddulaarsenal

Maybe, but they are both special.

samthegooner

If we are going to go for someone like Vitinha, would rather go for the younger, more defensive option in Joao Neves.

QuincyAbeyie

samthegooner houseboat rumors that PSG has offered €90m + a player for him.

lorddulaarsenal

samthegooner how about another Joao. The Gomes variety?

Qwiss

lorddulaarsenal nah, too limited.

lorddulaarsenal

He’s an Aldi Bruno.

I want Mikel Merino

lorddulaarsenal

Calafiori
Merino
Williams, Kvaratskhelia, Doue, or Simons

Would take Eze too but would be a bit underwhelming

Kel Varnsen

De jong. Would be a good Partey replacement.

JazzG

Kel Varnsen De jong. Would be a good Partey replacement.

All news on him seems to have quiet.

MistaT

JazzG — have to imagine Barca’s arrogance isn’t letting anyone sign him for cheap (to offset his wages).

Feels like a Rashford/Havertz style of signing in that you don’t want to be the last one holding the bag if they don’t come good.

That said, I’d take him!!

Qwiss

MistaT I have gone off the idea of DeJong, he's always injured and his wages are astronomical. Thats exactly the sort of gamble thats set to blow up in someones face.

CPM

Zubimendi was so impressive against England, played with real authority in a tricky spot as a sub in final. He's the exact kind of player we need, it's a shame he doesn't want to come to England.

Clrnc

CPM He was more mobile and effective than Rodri. Probably helps that he was very fresh and full of energy.

I thought once Rodri went off Spain would suffer but turned out otherwise

lorddulaarsenal

He was impressive yes. First time I’ve felt he’s top
quality though. Was meh against United in the champs league last season

lorddulaarsenal If we go into another season depending on Partey and Jorginho's fitness, we have definitely failed this summer even if we get Calafiori and Williams. Have to at least bring in a Merino to add quality cover there.

Qwiss

lorddulaarsenal I could live with that. Would be ideal with Partey replaced by Bruno G but our left side malfunctioned last season and that looks like it'd do a lot to fix it.

lorddulaarsenal

samthegooner oh yes we need depth but assuming Partey is fit that’s a great midfield

samthegooner

lorddulaarsenal I think that's a huge assumption to make though. Personally, I felt like he looked to be a shadow of his old self every time he was on the field this season and even if fit, looks to have lost a lot of the athleticism that made him world class. There used to be a good margin between Jorginho and Partey in terms of speed but they looked very similar last year. Hope its just a result of not being fit for the majority of the year and not able to work himself back into shape but I'm not confident he's going to get that back even if he is able to stay on the field. I think that he needs to be replaced for sporting reasons this summer (and should've been replaced for non-sporting reasons much earlier).
