Links to Frenkie as an alternative to Kimmich who now looks to be staying at Bayern.

Nico, Zubimendi, Frenkie, Lautaro and Garcia would be an epic summer

    If we can't do Nico get Lookman. We need goals

    If we are to continue to play in to wide attackers feet and expect them to beat players one on one those two would be perfect. Semenyo too.

    Lautaro would be ace as he has that spikey determined to win attitude plus he has exceptional finishing. We lack that so much

    Lautaro does seem a miss.

    Felt like he was available a year or two back.

    Would go for Watkins/Osinenhen now and in a season or two, look at resigning Biereth. Would also love to get Camavinga from Real.

    A few other players that have caught my eye over the season, some of whom already on wishlists.

    Ait Nouri from Wolves as a LB, Wharton for CM as domestic options.

    Ritsu Doan as a CM from Freiburg, and Adeyemi as a versatile forward and Jamie Gittens from Dortmund.

      Need to get at least one winger from the group of: Nico Williams, Antoine Semenyo, Jamie Gittens, Bradley Barcola, Ademola Lookman. All of these are players that can create their own space to get a shot off and are decent to good ball strikers.

      Need a CF from the group of: Sesko, Isak, Ekitike, Osimhen. Players that are comfortable as focal points of an attack with the skills to bring other players into play but also the requisite finishing ability to score the goals we need from that position and give CBs something to think about centrally. We've sorely missed this since Kai went out and even when he was here, his finishing is always streaky.

      If we come out of the summer without at least one of these wingers (ideally I'd get one from that group and then a promising younger prospect like Dibling, Nusa or one of the emerging talents in Ligue 1) and a top CF, then it will be a failure regardless of any additional reinforcements across the pitch. I'm optimistic we will do it though.

      My pie-in-the-sky dream summer would be Ekitike/Sesko, Semenyo, Gittens. Add those 3 to our attack and we are title winners IMO.

      I'd rather go big on Wirtz and get a young dribbly prospect for numbers.

        I don't watch enough Bournemouth to know, but I was chatting to an Arsenal fan in the gym yesterday and he was quite hot on Justin Kluivert - what do people think?

          Pepe LeFrits I'd love Wirtz but don't think it's realistic for us right now in lieu of adding numbers in attack. This is where not bringing in Sesko and Williams last summer bites us because Wirtz would be the next step this summer if we had been able to strengthen the attack last summer. I understand why it didn't happen - can't make these guys move (although hopefully someone like Berta can change that), but it might have set the project back a season IMO.

              samthegooner who knows how realistic Wirtz is given that City have just announced that they are dumping KDB, Gundogan, Silva and that waste of money Grealish this summer. Complete rebuild. That means they have to get Wirtz. But if he should slip through their hands, then we have take him. He is a baller beyond comprehension. I'd rather get him and think about traditional forwards later on

                  We'll probs end up with Grealish lol

                  On Lautaro, I remain unconvinced. I'd take him in an instant, but he always seems a nervous wreck for Argentina. I also can't bear to watch him run sometimes, like he's knee-deep in treacle.
