I want us to spend a large proportion of our transfer budget in the summer on a CBā¦looks decent
I want us to spend
Forgot about him completely but Brandt could be a nice player to add. All in all, there are loads of wingers available and Iām sure most teams would want to cash in sooner than later. Pepe, Brandt, Lemar, Malcolm, Pavon and Lozano all targets we could go for. Isco and Zaha situations should be tracked as well.
Pipe dream with the yankee
First off the name of this thread needs to be changed back to just the wishlist, second some of this depends on CL football so we really really really need to get that sweet sweet 4th place.
Our summer window (if everything goes absolutely perfectly):
Out:
Ospina - 4m
Martinez - 2m
Xhaka - 18m
Elneny - 10m
Ramsey - free but wages
Mkhytarian - 15m
Mustafi - 12m
If we have 75m+ to spend, this will give us 130m+ at least.
In:
Rabiot - free
Ndombele - 50m
Sarr - 30m
Hermoso - 40m (release clause)
Orban or Felipe - 15m
Resign:
Welbeck
Nacho
Starting xi:
--------------------Leno-----------------
BellerināPapaāHermosoāKola ()
--------Torreira---------Rabiot------
Ćzil-----------Ndombele--------Sarr
---------------------Auba----------------
Bench: Macey, Orban, Holding, Kosh, Mav, Nacho, Guendouzi, Chambers, Ainsley-Maitland Niles, Willock, Smith-Rowe, Iwobi, Saka, Nelson, Welbeck, Lacazette
We could easily recoup or even make profit on Xhaka. Heās considered an integral part of our team, being a starter and a captain. Anyway, I really doubt our team will cash in. Xhaka will stay, at worst as back-up.
Maybe we could, but the word easily sure as hell doesnāt belong in that sentence.
I know you donāt rate Xhaka but enough people do, Iād be staggered if we only got 18 million quid for him in the current climate of transfers.
Fair enough I just wanna cut bait and be done with him. Although honestly I wouldnāt mind him as depth in case we suffered an injury or two as weāre known to do. Anyone think itās possible to convert Ćzil into a deeper lying midfielder kinda like Cazorla did in his later years converting from a winger to our b2b guy?
Done
I would keep Mkhitayran and Ospina as, for the money weād get for them, I donāt think weād get much better.
I know Mkhitayran is on high wages but he is a decent player that Emery seems to like.
If we do get 75m for those players I donāt think weāll spend anywhere near 130m.
The biggest window weāve had was when we bought Xhaka, Mustafi and Perez and our net spend was around 80m but that was following the previous window where we only bought a GK.
So spread over those windows we averaged around 40m a season.
There is no way we are going to spend anywhere near 130m in a single transfer window.

Those figures include the January windows as well, which is fair enough.
That bumps it up to just over 50m a season, so I still maintain we arenāt going to spend anywhere near 130m in the next window.
We need as a bare minimum, a top quality CB and winger as well as replacements for Ramsey and Ozil, if he leaves.
Also we still havenāt sorted the GK position adequately but thatās not a priority.
The total disregard Wenger had for our defence means we have a complete lack of quality in those positions, so we have to spend big, and thatās simply something we rarely do.
Whatās the odds we can acquire Puig or AleƱƔ this summer, as part of the Monchi madness?
Be surpirised about Alena mate. I hear they really rate him very highly out there
Havenāt seen enough mysekf to give an honest opinion
These the youngsters from Barca?
Ja.
Really cba when Puyol and Pique the new Barca managing team start tapping him up with the Barca DNA thoā¦
We can really unlock this side quality depth a full back. Should be top priority
