Can only hope for gradual steps really. Anyone hoping for one summer window where we plug close to 5 holes in the squad with the requisite quality will be disappointed.

I didnāt realise that heās only 19! He looks very composed already, definitely PL ready.
If we could get the likes of Ospina, Mustafi, Jenko, Elneny, Miki out the door. I would like see Xhaka or Ozil join them but I wonāt my breath on that one. Bring in a Left back, Central Mid, Central Defender and Winger all of a good quality and bring up some of the youth players then I would be happy.
I still think fanās wonāt be happy without the big name buys and the amount of the dross going out, especially with the likes of City, Liverpool and Utd going to spend millions in the summer. With Arsenal going for unknown names, cheaper buys and youth. I expect one big name to keep fanās happy but I donāt expect a whole transfer window full of them.

Some rumours about Griezmann to Barcelona. They are going to need money this summerā¦ Arsenal should give them some for Umtiti.

Iām indifferent about Umtiti. Good defender but serious concerns about his fitness.

Yeah I totally understand that, but do we really have any better options of getting a quality CB ?
Yes, throw our entire transfer kitty at De Ligt :unai:
30 odd appearances every year heās been there, surely not that concerning?
Surely we just really have to let the medical people decide on that. The club for all its faults would have to be rigid on that.
I keep thinking with talk of him coming the prem that Liverpool could end up pairing him with VVD.
Just imagine. Best CB partnership in the world for the next 10 years

Go for solid PL talent like Dunk from Brighton and Manolas from Roma, it would make us stronger. Donāt know if it win you the PL but it make us harder to break down. Dunk looks a proper old school CB and is PL proven. With Holding and Sokratis there, keep Kos as a squad player. That should give us proper CB unit. Get a proper left back and someone at right back to challenge Bellerin. They donāt have to be big names but guys who will step up when at a big club.

Donāt they have Gomez coming back and he looked a very good CB partner with VVD, Matnip is a good back up player too. I donāt think Liverpool will splash all their money on him. They need attacking midfield and creative players right now more then anything.
Not sure but the beauty with his teams are nobody cant be replaced. He just gets really good returns off his players.
Their riding high now and id imagine a lot of players would be interseted in playing for Klopp just like Pep.

Itās around this time that you start getting teams announcing players theyāve signed for next season.
I want some news. The final feels like ages away. Going to have to live off transfer rumour scraps in the interim
Might wait until after we know if we have CL.
This is a very good but entirely irrelevant point for the purposes of sating my hysterical and irrational need for transfer news

Hehe I also think it is somewhat overblown at times. But it may set budgets and therefor strategy. Iād like to see at least one very early signing though.
