I'd like to swap out Nelson for Diaby but its doubtful.

[Mike Dean]

Any reason that Harry Kane is available and we are not going for him??

We NEED a legitimate striker.

[Arsenal Tone]

Replace Xhaka with Declan Rice.

June 2019
Great idea Phil!

[Pudpop]

Guys I need to write some fanfiction...

What if Real buy Mbappe, and instead of trying to fit him and Vinicius into the team, they sell Vinicius?

Now, Pudpop, why would we care about spending a bunch of money on a LW when we already have a top-quality LW in our team?

Well, what if LW Gabi is only the beginning??? Remember he was always brought in as a striker but he was moved wide to develop. ST Gabi is the future. No more pointless debates about who is slightly more effective between Nketiah and Balogun when one of the deadliest finishers in the league is our starting striker

So how do we fund this?

Balogun 50m
Nketiah 30m
Tierney 40m
Partey 40m
Others ~20-30m
Total 180-190m

Which means we can recoup enough money that our expenditure is sitting at 20-30m

Vinicius 140m

But Pudpop, if we sell Tierney and Partey we'd be short at LB and CDM

What if I say you've been bamboozled, and we're actually about to Gazump Chelsea for Caicedo???

Vinicius 140m
Caicedo 80m

~250m net outgoing this window.

I don't think he suits our play anymore.

[Arsenal Tone]

[Pudpop]

At this point in the window I think we actually only need one more signing.

Let's say we get 45m for Balo which is looking quite possible. Then we buy a 1st choice striker, could cost us anything from 40m to 100m. Because of how we structured the Raya deal and the 45m for Balo we might actually have the funds to pay 100m.

Then we have new 1st choice striker and then our depth at striker and RW is actually really strong, because Jesus is a premier league winning RW already. Having Jesus as second choice striker is also not a problem because we would have both Nketiah and Havertz as depth options there.

We could feasibly also sell Nketiah and have new ST, Jesus and Havertz as put ST depth with Saka, Jesus and Nelson as our RW depth.

That's all ignoring that Trossard can fill in in both of those positions.

One signing should be enough

[Pudpop]

With 40m for Balo our summer sales are up to around 75-80m. Could potentially get in another 20m which would take our net spend this summer to around 110m.

Might see a late purchase for 40-50m. My guess is we'll see a young defender or an experienced forward if that happens

[Est83]

Onana (no idea how with the £60m price tag, but that seems to be where we're going)
Neto
Boniface (the only decent striker under £100m it seems)
