Summer 23 winda

goon

I don't really get the hype with Bellingham I must say. Very good player and I'd love him here, but he's talked about and priced at in generational terms which I don't see. . Pedri looks a couple of levels above to me and it's immediately obvious.

JazzG

goon From watching Bellingham for England this the impression I got as well. I think for Liverpool he would be sensational but we need someone with better passing and better in tight spaces. I could be wrong though and selling the guy short.

Claudius They're more of a counter attack team aren't they?

Gazza M Personally would sign two young CMs, we have experience in Partey, Xhaka & Jorginho there. We need players that will be there for the next 5-7 years. I personally really like our policy of buying under 25 and only go above for more stop gap solutions.

Gazza M

SMS + a younger CM like caicedo or zubimendi would be great

goon

We need two younger guys, no older than 25. SMS is too old, doesn't really solve the Xhaka/Partey succession planning issue.

JazzG Bellingham is excellent in tight spaces. Superb dribbler, quick feet and great end product. Basically an English Diaby that is more intelligent on the ball.

Qwiss

Caicedo was excellent on Saturday. Can see how he'd eventually replace Partey when he plays like that.

PureBall

Some great options around, the problem is money of course.

Ideally we would land Caicedo and one of Zubimendi, Rice, Caqueret etc.

Bellingham would be the dream, but we are talking over £100-£150 mil for him alone.

For me it would be Caqueret and Caicedo, but you almost can’t go wrong with any of the above, plus Locatelli, Kone, Thuram.

Should get Solly March to provide excellent cover and alternative to Saka.

I want Declan Rice and Moussa Diaby badly this summer. I think the two of them would bring another level to this squad. I see Rice as the eventual successor to TP5 but he could also play the Xhaka role against top opposition sides next year. Ideally, we also bring in another young CM that could take over the Xhaka role or at least provide insurance in case Vieira/ESR don't make that role theirs. The dream would be Camavinga if Real gets Bellingham and he gets crowded out but I also like Alexis MacAllister, Matheus Nunes, Dominik Szoboszlai, and potentially Mason Mount.

lorddulaarsenal

Kudus looks a good option too

lorddulaarsenal

We is being linked to Alexis Mac Allister today.

Would be a great addition

Claudius

I’m tired of being squeezed by Brighton. Let’s scour the continent

Burnwinter

Agree, Brighton have gotten a bit too used to cleaning up on transfers, their expectations will be through the roof. I'm glad we didn't pay the mooted fee for Caicedo in winter.

Kel Varnsen

New rb. White is very good, but somewhat limited. I think we can improve with a more dynamic rb.

est

Kel Varnsen What happened with that Spanish kid we were linked with? Did the deal fall through in the end or was he just not interested in moving mid-season and we can go back for him in the Summer?

Edit: Ah yes, Fresneda. Should have read the next post by @lorddulaarsenal. He looked pretty good, maybe there's a chance we can still get him?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Kel Varnsen judging by Saka's struggles and legginess of late, a RB with more in his attacking arsenal could be just the ticket to help him out.

lorddulaarsenal

Think Arteta recognises we need an alternative type to give options - hence the Fresneda links. Although he’s not wildly different in style

MistaT

More smoke around Rice by the day

lorddulaarsenal

Rice, Mac Allister, Diaby and a RB would be a fantastic summer.

We’d have enough depth to rest Partey and Saka.

Would like another striker but can’t see us bringing anyone in who will bench Jesus or who would want to be second choice

Don Pacifico

Given we've bought Jorginho, I'd be surprised if we bought more than one CM, assuming we don't sell Xhaka or Partey (which I can't see us doing).
