Transfer Talk: Who would you rather sign?

Postby Angelito » Thu Jun 15, 2017 5:05 pm

Out of those linked with us, and some obvious signings, who would you rather sign if we followed Wenger's recent trend of signing a single player in every odd year (since 2012)?

It's not about who you think we will sign, but a poll about who you would sign out of these—if granted the authority.

Think Belotti has a higher ceiling and we need a striker. Been wrong about Italian strikers before but looks to be the real deal.

I rate Keita and Lemar higher than Belotti but gotta be Belotti. If we're signing one major player, that has to be for biggest need. Get the striker, then pray everyone stays fit and on form.

Lacazette. Done it season after season.

Belotti hasnt. Never heard of Keita. James quality but in a position not needed. Mahrez finished. Lemar lol

If we're assuming everyone stays happily, then it might be Naby Keita for me.

ST options: Lucas, Alexis, Welbeck, Giroud
CM options: Ramsey, Xhaka, Elneny, Coquelin

I see a big difference in quality there...The formation change is hiding a big weakness we have in the middle that will probably be exposed against the better sides. We can probably get by with the options we have up top but we can't with what we have in the middle imo.

If we assume, however, that one of Lucas or Sanchez leaves then Lacazette for me
Ramsdale
(Turner/Hein)
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
(Tomiyasu/Niles) (Timber/Holding) (Trusty/Kiwior) (Tierney/Tavares)
Odegaard(c) —- Rice
(Xhaka/Lokonga) —- (Partey/Elneny)
Havertz
(Jorginho/Vieira)
Saka Jesus Martinelli
(Pepe/Nelson) (Nketiah/Balogun) (Trossard/ESR)

What do ya'll think about Mateo Kovacic? We've been tracking him from conception.

What is the purpose of buying just one player from that list? It is not going to change things much.

If you have three to five holes in your bucket of water, plugging just one hole isnt going to accomplish much, no matter how extraordinary of a job you do with that one hole. You need to plug them all to finish the job.

We NEED to sign either

Naby + Lemar + Lacazette

or

Naby + Lemar + that Mario Batali guy

Yep. It's between Keita and Belotti for me, although Belotti gets the edge as he's a CF.

Sign Lukaku ffs. 20 or 25 mil more instead of Lacazatte. Lacazatte has a weak body, he will be bullied against defenders in the premier league, he will be a flop. Lukaku is a beast, 190 cm, 94 kg, and overall gives much more than just goals.

I would go with Lacazette, he obviously knows where the goal is and we need a striker that will put the chances away as our highest priority. He is not a one season wonder either.
