Rumours starting to pop out. Lot of “yeah ok”’s but always good to keep track of it.

Talk that Napoli want Kiwior.

On the attacking incoming front Mateo Retegui linked. Don’t want - doesn’t look elite and is flavour of the momentish.

Surely Chelsea must have something else in their bins we can rescue?

Claudius

Given the Edu / financial tightening rumours from the summer, I expect one of Hesus or Trossard to go.

Incomings… would still look at all the same big name targets.

Caught fibbing but Kudus was at the emirates a few weeks back

MistaT

Mathys Tel on a loan with option to buy

This kid has a nose for goal, and while I'm not sure exactly where he'd play with us (LW or CF), he could certainly add some attacking threat. Feel like I'd have him as a Martinelli sub for the season, or try to introduce a 3-5-2 with him up top with Havertz.

Don Pacifico

MistaT would Bayern want to sell him?

lorddulaarsenal

Has the traits we lack

MistaT

Don Pacifico -- I don't know a ton about him, just stumbled across him and saw articles they're looking for a January loan (to get him minutes).

Doubt they want to sell, so the option to buy would be exuberant.

Looks talented though.

Kudus is class and would allow us to rest Odegaard, or Saka. Could even use Saka on the left when he plays on the right.

That said I’m not sure it’s the best use of funds since we have Nwaneri who can cover Odegaard though perhaps not Saka.

Still better to go out get a scary food left sided attack or a goal machine up top.

So back to Nico Williams, Kvaratskhelia, Leao for the left or Gyokeres, Sesko, or Isak upfront

Claudius

I have all my usual names.. Isak, Williams, Kvara etc. who I favor.

But the guy I think we can go and get for a good price and impact this January is Marmoush. Very rarely see guys who I feel will just make it. He has a few attributes I just love. He always wants to go forward- and he receives the ball with the forward motion in mind, a bit like Partey. But then unlike Partey he has acceleration and speed to get away from markers. And he can finish in a variety of ways. This is the Saka balance.

lorddulaarsenal

Ah yes deffo - he’s a real talent

lorddulaarsenal

Strikes me more as the type of player Liverpool sign though.

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal I would be annoyed if an already stacked Pool got him, or they got him as an early replacement for Salah. He’s a very good player.

Clrnc

He is a Salah regen. Highly productive and direct. We need to get him.

I think we should activate Gyokeres release clause in January. Come the summer he is definitely going to United.

Claudius

Clrnc if he’s open to moving, yeah. I used to have concerns about his late burst, but two seasons deep, he’s allayed my fears. Plus we just need another body up front. Jesus, Trossard and Sterling have terribly underperformed this year. They’re all much better than whatever has transpired. I’d put Lord Dula in their place, they’re that bad

lorddulaarsenal

Hugo Larsson linked with a move to us in January. Superb talent

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal I also see Retegui linked. Would be a very quick in and out of Atalanta.

lorddulaarsenal

Not sure on him - looks Lacazettish
