Arp

No chance in hell that Bayern are selling Arp to us, especially as he's seen as Lewandowski's successor. One can hope.

Apart from that #FIFATime

P.S. All aboard the Martinelli hype train.

15 Million for Nketiah

[Angelito]

15 Million for Nketiah

'Pool sold Brewster for £20 odd million and he's nowhere as "established" as Nketiah. Being English, just add £10m to someone like Eddie.

£15m is a clear cut rate for an English striker who has played quite some games for Arsenal.

[Santi]

we'd have to sign liverpool's negotiating team for that

[Santi]

Somehow sign Aouar in Jan please.

[Yago]

Somehow sign Aouar in Jan please.

Not convinced by Aouar.

The dream is Sabitzer or Bissouma to pair with Partey, which would strengthen our midfield so much. but yeah, not happening.

[KG3]

Not really a wish list, I was just thinking about how good our team would have been without unnecessary sales/departures and overpriced purchases in recent years.

GK: Szczesny/Martinez
RB: Bellerin/Niles
CB: Holding/Gabriel/Luiz/Mari
LB: Tierney/Gibbs
DM: Partey/Torreria
CM: Cazorla/Ramsey
CAM: Ozil/ESR
RW: Saka/Nelson
ST: Auba/Laca
LW: Gnabry/Martinelli

Would easily finish top 4 even with Arteta in charge.

Gibbs?

Also not sure how you can classify Cazorla's departure as unnecessary.

Gibbs was a solid player defensively and decent going forward and we replaced him Kola who can’t defend especially in a back 4, Cazorla’s departure was unnecessary because he was still our best midfielder and we still haven’t replaced him till this day.

[KG3]

JWP exactly the type of player we need, someone that can dictate play and his set pieces are world class.

^ i like this, not sure about willock or nelson but that CM pairing is awesome!

[Callum]

^ i like this, not sure about willock or nelson but that CM pairing is awesome!

I'm not hugely sold on either of them, but I feel like there's a lot of players in the midfield who'll be leaving in the summer, or players I'd be happy to see leave—Ceballos, Elneny, Torreira, Guendouzi. I hope Willock has a good rest of the season with Newcastle and can offer more as a squad player in 2021/22.

I'd keep Nelson simply because I'm desperate to see Willian go instead.
