The Wish List

Before you laugh at benteke, i'd prefer giroud but reckon he'd be too expensive and we need a plan b from the bench. We need a back up main striker who is cheap.

How is a player that cost 30 million and over 100k cheap?

Is that his price? He isn't even first choice for palace is he? Surely they'd let him go cheaply to get him off their wage bill?

Benteke is obviously not going to cost £30m as he's one season away from being a free agent.

Unless he extends his contract, which looks unlikely, Palace will have to choose between selling for a cut-price deal or keep him for another year and receive £0.

[gooney]

The manager prefers 1 striker and was forced to play to because rest of the squad is garbage. So benteke as 3rd choice? Whats the point of having u23 team btw?

[Zenith]

I didn't say we should go for Benteke.

You said he'd be expensive, which I refuted by pointing out his contract will expire in 1 year.

S'all.

Zen which eredivisie players youd go for if we had the money

We need to add high quality if we want to progress.

I reckon we could nick Leroy Sané from Man City for about £40m. He can’t get in their side and is behind Sterling & Bernardo Silva. That won’t change next season, and he’ll know that.

23 years old. Top drawer quality. That’s what we want.

Ziyech and Bergwijn, even though the latter has been horrible since this calendar year.

Bergwijn is more well-rounded than Lozano who has less strings to his bow, albeit still young enough to improve.

[Dejan]

Not sure yet about Bergwijn tbh

This would be an incredible summer:

Ziyech or Lozano
Rabiot
Manolas
Tagliafico or Alaba

Never going to happen

I'm not a big fan of Ozil but...

My fantasy Arsenal 19/20

[NovaGB]

Koulibaly
Umtiti
Alaba
Rabiot
Zaha

All attainable except for Kouli imo.

= title

----Aubameyang---Lacazette----Zaha----------
-------------------------------Ozil------------------------
----------------------Rabiot--Torreira----------------
--Alaba-----------Umtiti---Koulibaly-----Bellerin
----------------------------Leno---------------------------

We need a back up striker. An old, experienced target man as a plan B off the bench in games like last night and to rotate to rest aubalacca in mickey mouse games.

Our current squad: Ozil, Aubameyang, Mkhi, Cech, Suarez, Lacazette, Ramsey, Mustafi, Xhaka, Torreira, Sokratis, Leno, Bellerin, Welbeck, Guendouzi, Koscielny, Iwobi, Mavropanos, Elneny, AMN, Kolasinac, Monreal, Lichtsteiner, Jenkinson, Saka, Nketiah, Willock, Holding

Released: Cech, Suarez, Ramsey, Welbeck, Lichtsteiner

I would sell:
Jenkinson ~ £1.5 mil
Monreal ~ £3 mil or whatever they'll give us
Elneny ~ £5 to £10 mil
Mustafi ~ £10 mil
Mkhitaryan ~ £15 mil
Chambers ~ £15 mil
Ozil ~ £20 mil - He doesn't wanna leave? Tell him he will never play again. If that doesn't phase him, start the propaganda machine and brand him a leech in the media. Make him feel uncomfortable staying. However, he doesn't strike me as someone who would forcefully stay if it's made clear he's not wanted.

Try to offload Xhaka for about £35 mil but not less. If nobody wants to pay that much then you simply don't sell.

I'd also be on the lookout if any club wants to spend serious £ on a striker. I'd be willing to offload one of Auba/Laca for £70/£65 mil.

Not counting unlikely Xhaka and Auba/Laca sales that is nearly £70 mil from what is essentially deadwood. Enough to spend £110 mil in the summer.

I'd buy:
Young attack minded midfielder with potential to improve next season (Ozil/Ramsey/Mkhi replacement) = £20 to £25 mil
Two youth prospect pacey wingers = £30 to £35 mil
New LB = £10 to £15 mil
New top quality CB £35 to £50 mil

Obviously stay on lookout for any free/bargain deals.

Iwobi can play centrally as well and we have Willock who should get more of a chance next season.

If Xhaka were to be sold I'd reinvest that money in a B2B midfielder who would play alongside Torreira. If one of Auba/Laca were to be sold i would use that money to get more expesnive wingers.
