AMN just had one of his best games as CM, and you want to turn him into a RB?
He was very very good at LWB for us this season and he’s played RB for us several times before. I don’t see anything wrong with a guy who’s a human swiss army knife. Play him on the left, on the right, in the middle, seems like he can do it all.
I know he has played there. I just don’t see him as Bellerin’s successor.
If you want Bellerin gone, then you need to make another suggestion.
I’m all for Sessegnon though. But he’s been playing further forward this season. As a left winger/inside forward.
Didn’t Moley say Wenger was defo out around Jan-Feb time?
Seems to be a decent ITK or just guessing and getting really lucky.

Yup we are gonna go for these players offering the max amount of £8.5m and see who bite our hands off for that huge sum first.
Is this the man who found Roman Buerki?

A lot of smoke on potential targets however, unless we’re operating differently in this post Wenger era, the ultimate decision would come from whomever is next appointed. I assume Svenehli and the scouting network at Arsenal would be briefed via the manager on what players he’s looking for to play to his ideals.
So any transfer rumours from now until we appoint someone is all poppycock right?
Yes and no. Even without a new manager there are clear targets for the summer; goalkeeper, centre back, left back, winger and midfielder.
Great! Exactly what we need.
Not too sure about Sokratis. Maybe like 5 years ago. He certainly isn’t a madness imo.
I’ll deffo be pissed off if we sell Hector too.
Fucking Sven just wanting to recreate 2015 Dortmund. In that case get 2015 Dortmund’s manager.

So I’ve been thinking about keepers.
Ideally we’ll get two new keepers. Cech should leave really and Ospina doesn’t seem to be content as second choice.
I doubt we’ll spend £50m+ for one of the best GKs (like Oblak and Co.).
I feel like fiscally it would make sense to drop like £10-15m on an older, established, but good keeper like Schmeichel (league winner, in his peak, excellent all around keeping traits) and then spend around £15-20m on a hot young prospect - let’s say, a 19-20 year old who has been impressing but isn’t ready to be a number 1.
Get the best 3 or 4 years out of the older keeper, and then by the time he’s 34/35 the younger keeper will be ready to start taking over and hopefully the older keeper will be happier to drop to the bench and play a back up role.
I’m not really too familiar with the 19-21 year old goalkeeping prospects out there, could anyone enlighten me?
Nick Pope has really impressed me this season, he’s looked great for Burnely. Obviously he has a proper defence in front of him but if we’re able to get a manager who can sort out our defence, I wouldn’t be opposed to spending £20m on him (English tax included).
I just can’t see us dropping £50m+ on a top class keeper OR being able to attract a top class keeper, whereas spending £30-35m on two keepers that meet our needs seems way more plausible, especially if Sven has his shit together and knows about some top German/Italian/French/Spanish whatever keeper prospects.
I like Pope and would be happy to see him here, as you say can see him going for £20mil plus.
Don’t see us getting two keepers, I think best case scenario is us selling Ospina (for peanuts obvs) and making Cech the number two behind a Pope or the like.
It’s a shame that the likes Allison and Oblak are firmly out of reach, two monster keepers who would give De Gea a run for his money.
Yeah you’re probably right.
To be fair, Cech as second isn’t the worst. I’d be pleased with that.
What viable first choice options are there though? We’ll need to look at a level beneath Oblak and Allison etc. but my knowledge of keepers is sorely lacking.
Everton spent £30m for Pickford, so that’s a no go. I’m really stumped actually.
The only premier league keepers I’d be happy with us spending any money on are Butland, Schmeichel and Pope.
Any mix of Pope/Schmeichel/Butland and Cech I’d be happy with.
