He was supposed to be hot shit even before this season, no? Sign and then loan if we sign him at all, probably.

Shame we're down three right backs (Tomiyasu, Timber, Partey). Sami Mokbel and a few others suggest we'll be on the lookout for yet another defender.

Super onboard with this. Classy player with stature. Will fit in nicely with our collection of Skilled Goons

This the same guy who was playing for Coventry last season?

He must have come on quite a bit since then to be linked with us.

Need reinforcements in the attack.

Nketiah isn’t up to the task, and in the attacking mid areas Smith Rowe and Vieira don’t appear to be cut out for it physically.

Let’s get Ivan Toney. Can’t deal with Nketiah anymore.

    Paulinha to allow Rice to rest or play In the Xhaka role.

    A striker who gives us a different style up top to Jesus

    An attacking midfielder who can give Havertz and Odegaard some serious competition

    A fullback to replace the crock and the flake, a keeper to replace tweedle dee and tweedle dum, a real live actual striker who actually really strikes, someone to fuck Jorginho off forever, a winger who uses his eyes to pass, and a midfielder taller than an oompa loompa who can sprint without his entire body rupturing.

    Win the CL, who cares about the league. It's broken.

      Gurgen Really? Haven't seen him much, just saw that he's mostly an impact sub for Leipzig.

        Gurgen Haha he's amazing in my FM as well. Basically Slovenia's Haaland

          lorddulaarsenal I'm still with you here. He'd be a great option to have and makes those runs we need to get on the other end of hopeful balls in the box. I'd want to make sure he wants to be here though.

            lorddulaarsenal I’d be tempted by Vlahovic

            Still so easy to visualise how Vlahovic's highlights reel would fit nicely into the way we play. He's big, quick, good on the ball and can hold off a player and win duels as well. Ever so slightly worrying what his motivation might be if we scoop him up after this spell enduring corruption and low morale in Italy ... we need to avoid nihilists in this squad ...
