samthegooner He's had a really bad injury, from what I've read not looked the same player. Talent wise up there with the best though, at the right price might be worth a punt?

      The player I'd look to unlock is Moukoko. He was unbelievable as a kid. So much stronger and faster and more sure footed than folks way older than him - a sure thing if I'd ever seen one, and then steps it up to pro football and just looks thoroughly average? This game can be a mystery sometimes.

        JazzG lorddulaarsenal Good points. I still don't have him as high on my wish list for wingers/attackers as someone like Diaby but would likely be worth looking into if he does become available this summer. I want to address the midfield first and foremost and then be opportunistic in the market with an attacker.

            flobaba The player I'd look to unlock is Moukoko.

            Whenever I saw this name I think of Tonton Zola from early Championship Manager

              Hmmm well Saka is just that, plus Martinelli, Trossard, and Nelson, and even Jesus out wide are great options.

              Agree to reach elite status we need a worldie for the left. It’s looking like Mitoma is better for the Prem than Mudryk - let’s go get him!

              Think though a real powerhouse of a striker would give us more. Osimhen would be a dream but Vlahovic would be a mighty good addition.

              Be interesting what we do this summer as we are told we are ahead of our plans, which indicate we’re aiming for higher.

              Nelson will be gone in the summer. He's ok but he's not where we need him and he needs to play.

              I don't think we'll sign a striker and I don't think we should either. Sort out the midfield. Xhaka to his credit has done as well as he could this season and I'd actually keep him if possible but not in the first XI. That position is key. I think that's obviously where Arteta sees Rice fitting in too, which makes more sense than playing in Parteys role IMO.

              Just watching Meelan versus the spuds- Leao is crazy athletically.

              There was? Hadn't heard about that. Too bad for him then.

              Summer ain’t just about thinking about your holibobs.

              Time to go get us some top shelf players.

              Fund it by selling and cashing in on:-

              Pepe, Balogun, Smith Rowe, Tierney, and Bobby Holding.

              Get us the likes of Mac Allister, Kvaratskhelia, and Osimhen

              Hey, you leave ESR out of it Dules

              Caicedo probably still available in the summer but Brighton probably just doing right by him and increasing his salary.

              Zubimendi is an absolute must for me, I'm not entirely convinced by Rice.

              Reckon we will look at offers for one of Eddie/Balogun and Tierney, Pepe + Tavares. Should be bringing in over £100m for those guys.

              Why are you convinced by Zubimendi? Haven't seen anything special about him tbh

              Saw him against R.Madrid, thought he looked very good. He still has improvement in him but he's 24 and for around £50m you can't go wrong imo.

              Then again Barca wanting him to replace Busquets is all I need to know!

              Rice, Mac Allister and someone who can cover for Zinchenko would be a terrific summer.

              I've changed my mind on Rice. He's a very good player, and has the type of mentality we need.

              Am I the only one completely unmoved by Macallister?

              He just doesn't seem like the right fit.

              He's great, I really like him. Good technically, intelligent, rounded, lots of movement. He's basically a better fit and version of Xhaka if we still want that type of player in the 8 role.
