Kolasinac-Guendouzi-Willock-Maitland-Niles
Monreal-Mustafi-Chambers
Martinez


Sounds good, i still think we will get Zaha over Everton Soares, they just signed a winger today so it looks like he will be leaving Palace and i can't imagine he would join Everton over us, but i'd be happy with either player.

I think Elneny will be flogged and Poostafi and Kolasinac will be loaned out.

I think realistically if we are getting a CB it will probably be that Papa Cisse guy because hes cheap, i think we won't be after a ball carrier as we will rotate Holding and Chambers for that role, whoever we sign will be a traditional CB like Sokratis.

↑ Personally don't think we'll sign neither Éverton Soares, nor Will Zaha during this transfer window.

Zaha looking the least likely.

Reckon we'll go in with a renewed bid for Tierney; if that deal isn't concluded come the business end of the transfer window we might set out sights on an affordable CB and that'll be it. Fin.

Fingers crossed Arsenal will leave me with egg on my face come August 8th.

If we want a left back then a better idea if we miss out on tierney would be someone like Tagliafico who can also cover CB.
Raya/Ramsdale
White/Tomiyasu--Saliba/Timber--Gabriel/Kiwior--???/Zinchenko
???/Jorginho
Odegaard/Smith Rowe----Rice/???
Saka/Jesus-------------------Martinelli/Trossard
???/Havertz

Tagliafico penned a new deal a couple of weeks ago.

Will be a lot more expensive as opposed to when he only had a year left on his contract.

Potentially would cost even more than Tierney.

Any other available LBs who can cover CB?

Stanley N'Soki. 6'1'' left-back who also has experience as centre-back. His contract expires in 2021.

Even though is very highly rated and has already made his professional debut, it remains to be seen whether will be able to really break into PSG's starting XI.

Came through the ranks as a LB, though he hasn't quite established a main position yet, so for all we know he might, instead, establish himself as a CB in the future.

Might be able to poach him if the Tierney deal falls through.

Why are we not in for Vallejo?

Even with his injuries last season he's still a better defender than any of our players.
He was a key player for Frankfurt at 20 years old.

I'm pretty sure we could even get a buy option for him.

Leno
Bellerin - ???? - Sokratis - Tierney
Torreira - Ceballos
Auba - Ozil - Saka
Laca


is what it currently looks like to me
possibly Guendouzi in for Ozil and Ceballos moved up a row.
Saka could also be Martinelli, Nelson, Willock or whoever makes that position his. I'd also prefer a more creative player on the other wing, especially when Ozil's not playing and we're fielding 2 DMs. Currently not counting on Soares/Zaha signing.

And yes, I am aware that Xhaka and Mkhi are sadly still Arsenal players atm.

I think we need a great central back to compete for the title... Koulibaly is my dream but Napoli don't want to sell him....


Ps Rugani is overrated

Tbf you can relax as we arent aiming for major silverware so we can lower expectations.

We are aiming more for top 6. As long as we dont drop out of Europa places the club are happy.

In these years we never had a great central back and I'm still wondering why.. The club spent a lot of money for other positions except this important role...

We rotate the positions we neglect every 2-3 years.

Right now no CBs and no LB (that is fit enough to play back to back games)

Before this, no DM. We currently have one actual DM.

Before that giroud as the only fit striker following RvPs departure for years.

Before that, no credible goalkeeper until Cech.

We rotate the squad neglect.
