23/24 transfer choices

Claudius

Clrnc for me Bellingham is enough but it seems he is joining the Abu Dhabi Marketing Project. Given that, then I think an upgrade on Xhaka is the most sensible use of cash - eg Rice. And then an alternative forward. I like Randal Kolo Muani.

Would love Bellingham, but he will be city bound.

Ugarte is very interesting, he was like two men out there for Sporting against us, and his stats this season says the same. He and Caicedo would be tremendous. Plus with money left over you can go for an attacker.

There will be some interesting choices out there.

We’re looking to evolve. Next stage adds more physicality - that’s where City have an edge over us.

Caicedo

Who’s spot does Caicedo take?

Clrnc

Xhaka. I assume Arteta is also planning life without Partey

We need a contingency plan, but I expect there will be no charges and Partey will continue to play regularly for us for the next few years.

Claudius

Partey is fine, especially if we get a starting left 8 who is combative. An energetic starting left 8 like Rice means that Jorginho or Xhaka can spell Partey without leaving us low on athleticism. The key for me is 1) athletic 8 to replace Xhaka and 2) big body forward.

Claudius I mean his impending charges

Need two CMs , I can't see Xhaka and Partey having another great season together with the extra games in Europe

Coombs

Partey strikes me as someone who will fall off an age cliff. Need a clear succession plan.

Coombs this. Unless he can somehow adapt his game, and I don't see that happening. Absolutely have to get his successor in place this upcoming window. Caicedo can come in and give him competition /rest without costing us much and allow us phase him out in 2 years.

Went for Vitor Roque, Caicedo, Lindstrom. Mostly because I want Caicedo and someone more impactful on the front foot than Rice with him. The added bonus of a potentially top class Brazillian wizard it the cherry on top.

I would like Caicedo and Diaby as our main two though. I think if we get Rice and Caicedo we will need to sell the likes of Jorginho, Elneny and Vieira and I'm not sure that'll happen.

Vieria needs to be sold or gone on loan. No way he plays here next season. What a waste of signing (so far).

Clrnc

Qwiss That's one hell of a left field choice.
