We need a CM who can actually pass the ball. Number 1 priority.

RB probably second on the list followed by a striker if Laca goes (I think we’ll run down his deal).

That first team is too defensive with Partey and Bissouma and Wijanldum is better, not sure about Lamptey in 4ATB Frank got rid of him for that reason with James coming through also

Also you were saying Luiz was a clown in other thread now you’re saying keep him :lol:

Make it make sense

He is a clown but unfortunately we need his experience at the back if we’re going to rely on Saliba and Gabriel as the main pair. I’d rather buy a new centre back but we don’t have the money, he’s the cheap option. I also said he’d be the biggest loss of those 6 players for this exact reason.

As for the ‘too defensive’ well we need some solidity but you can take either ‘CM’ out for Aouar and put ESR at CAM instead. Plenty of options with those players.

I just wish for a new competent manager. All the signings in the world wont help us while Arteta is in charge.
Wembley:
Community Shield @6-8-'23 = 1*-1 Manchester City

Emirates Stadium:
First game @10-9-'11 = 1 - 0 Swansea
Most memorable game @24-2-'22 = 2 - 1 Wolves
Last game @09-03-'24 = 2 - 1 Brentford
Next game @03-04-'24 = VS Luton [ Block 121 - Seat 847 ]

My #1 wish going into the summer is to see Xhaka sold. I don’t think it will happen though. Arteta seems to love him.

Why is Ryan 2m. Isn't he a free agent? And lol donnarumma. Raiola will ask for 50m just for us to force his fat arse into action to negotiate the move and 700k/week for gigi wages.

No he’s not out of contract and the rumours were 1.6m to sign him so I just put 2m.


Forgot about Grealish though, would go for him over Aouar tbh even if he is more of an attacking mid.

No idea who half these names are so I’m all for it, we were successful when signing players no ones ever heard of performing in smaller leagues like Ljungberg, Toure etc or players from big leagues playing for smaller teams Hleb and Sagna for example.

We’ve tried spending big in recent years on the likes of Xhaka, Mustafi, Pepe etc and it’s not really going well, their counterparts in our current team Elneny/Guendouzi, Mari, Martinelli are a fraction of the cost of the others but they’re just as good if not better, time to spend smarter and spend big with better scouting

We just need to trim the squad.We need to get rid of as many players as possible that are on a high wage.One of either Laca or Auba needs to go.Wilock needs to go if possible for 30M with the amount of goals he scored it will be decent price.We need to get rid of some CB's also we have like soo many right now.

In order our young players to get better, they need a lot of matches in row. Arteta is failing to deliver on that for many of them.
We need to be that club with young players again that pushes top4 almost every year to gain experience for the players and the club back.
And then we attack the title if possible with top signings. Otherwise it's just a waste. We could never get any world class players right now in the club with the stature we have and we have to overpay on the wage front big time to get some average players like Willian and Xhaka etc.
