lorddulaarsenal we should. We are back in the Champions League and the squad looks short. If we don't get at least 3 serious quality options we're in trouble. We need to go from basically a 14 man team plus back ups to a 17 man team plus back ups at the very least.
Qwiss I agree with you to an extent. But at the same time, we've racked up quite significant transfer investments whilst we've not been in the CL and at some point we'll need to pay off those debts. I don't think this requires a complete halt to our spending as if we're consistently in the CL for a while, we'll accumulate significant sums of money but I do think it is something to be mindful of.
Qwiss
Yeah agree.. also, while we have spent a bit in last couple of years our wage bill has been significantly below top teams, so doubt there is much to pay off
Don Pacifico I don't see why we need to be too mindful of it. We've been within FFP AFAIK and now we'll have the CL revenue on top. Can't expect to compete without spending big these days.
I get that we're adhering to FFP but it doesn't mean our debt hasn't increased in that time (unless I've drastically misunderstood the finances of the last few years). We've been spending CL money whilst generating EL level revenue.
Ornstein apparently gave an update yesterday where he said we’re looking at Rice, Caicedo, Mount and interesting Kudus to bolster the midfield
lorddulaarsenal Yes, but he said we are looking at Rice OR Caicedo for the number 6 role and Kudus for the number 8 role. I for one do not want Kudus here, at 22 he has managed to have a huge injury record. Has played 3 seasons and missed around 20 games per year with injuries. Add the AFCON obligations. I don't want players like that close to this club, ever again.
Tapsoba, Rice, Caicedo, Fresneda Bring back Balogun
Sell Holding, Nketiah, Tavares and Lokonga to raise funds.
Claudius Bring back Balogun
I'm inspired.
Claudius and Eddie.
Dumfries BellaKotcha Lavia Mitoma Rice
Bring Back Balogun
Clrnc I love Mitoma, and even Kvaradona, but I think their profiles are covered by Saka, Martinelli, Tosser and even Jesus.
Would rather a different striker. If you got me Ivan Toney, for example.
Bring back Balogun!
Claudius Move Martinelli centrally. Get Balogun as a different option.
I don't see any viable CF that I would want. Toney gonna have a long ban. Osimhem is too expensive. Mitoma is someone that can cause chaos for all our players to score, the Suarez multiplier effect.
That's not a nice nickname for our beloved Belgian.
Should take a punt on Vlahović.

Your boy Dools be telling you this for ages
lorddulaarsenal paste the article in here please mate.
Bellingham to City rumoured to be done. They’re getting even more physical! Will replace Gundogan
Fuck them. Hope their stadium burns down.
How do I do that? Is the link not working?
