If we sign Botman then I think him and Burn for the left CB slot and Schar & Lascelles for the right CB slot is more than fine for one season. Next season you upgrade on Schar and move Lascelles on. Could easily play 3 of those 4 in a back 3 if he goes that way and we still have Dummett as extreme back up for left CB in a back 3 and Krafth as right CB in a 3.

I can't remember where I read it (so it could be total horseshit), but apparently Lyon are wanting circa €70 million for Paqueta.

Same for Leverkusen and Diaby.

And we'll probably start the bidding at £20m. Both numbers are equally unrealistic, but we'll likely meet in the middle.

 

Or we'll look elsewhere. We showed over January that we won't be held to ransom, despite it being January and us being 19th.

Scott Wilson is quite measured in his updates, so this one for me means there’s definite legs. Also explains Milan’s row back as the Italian press were giving it ‘done deal’ on the Botman front last month to Milan.

Arsenal will surely use him this year?

 

He wants to play regularly, and Arteta doesn't rate him ahead of Gabriel and Ben White.

 

Arsenal have been negotiating with Marseille for a permanent transfer, but he's done so well last season that other clubs are interested and they can get more for him from elsewhere, while Marseille are struggling to match.

Reports that we're interested in Saliba.

Milan also after Saliba if they can’t get Botman. They’re pleased with how Tomori worked out and want to run a similar tactic with Saliba.

Based on links that are starting to firm up, looks like it could be:

 

Henderson (GK)

Botman (CB)

Lodi (LB)

Diaby (RW or LW)

 

Which would be some window. Still could do with backup for Wilson

Ekitike I reckon.

Botman, Diaby and Paqueta would be an incredible start to the window.

Then add Hendersson, Darwin Nunez, Targett/Renan Lodi and Ekitike.

 

Then we're good for a while and can take a two windows ban for breaking the FFP rules.?‍♂️

 

Who should we sign after the ban then??

If ASM is flogged that opens up some serious reshaping up front. Could see two coming in.

The three of Botman, Renan Lodi and Diaby would improve us immeasurably.

 

So fucking exciting, man.

 

To be honest, outside of City, Liverpool and Chelsea they'd improve any starting 11 in the league. Would be a huge statement of intent. The existing team with those guys slotted in would surely be targeting top 8/6.
