Jaqen Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Arsenal not getting Champions League last season was kind of disasterous for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 4 hours ago, The Prophet said: Didn't listen to it myself, but a summary from Jacobs: If Arsenal bid for Tielemans he'll go there but if they don't, us and Man United have made enquiries. The Ekitike deal is dead. We've walked away due to agent demands Howe made it clear that he didn't want to add any more than three or four, plus Targett. He thinks the budget is felixble and he wouldn't be suprised if it was anywhere between £100 million and £150 million. He'd like to see us sign Paqueta or Osimhen. A Broja loan deal would well work for both clubs, but the player may want a permanent move. Eriksen is waiting to see what Man United do. Diaby is available for a base fee of £35 million to £40 million (£50 million to £55 million with add ons), but there's been no progress as we're looking for a striker first. He think Leverkusen will sell Diaby this transfer window and PSG are big fans too. We aren't in a rush to sign a winger we'll only go into the market for the right player at the right price. As a LW under Howe, Fraser scored one and got two assists in 529 minutes, most of which can't have had Wilson on the pitch. Full strength for us now is Wilson, Bruno, and Trippier, who never appeared together last season. Put those parts out there, and perhaps there is a useful wide player in Fraser and a useful AM in Willock. Howe is originally a manager known for attacking play, but has probably been distracted so far by defensive disorganization and inadequate fitness issues. Now we are not conceding goals left right and center (we did get the Premier League calendar year record in 2021!), we may/should get to see a more Bournemouth-like Eddie Howe.

Guest Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Diaby, Tielemans & Broja and that’s an immense window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Almost as much nonsense as the tielemans link but the chronicle promoted it so I'm all in. Exactly what we need. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/07/03/ucl-club-braced-for-40m-newcastle-target-and-leeds-bound-star-to-leave/ I'd rather pay 5-10m more for haidara than Tielemans.

McCormick Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Haidara over Tielemens? No way. I like Haidara a lot but he’s several levels in quality below Youri imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s neither a DM or an AM. If we get someone like Tielemans, we probably are short defensively in midfielder. If we sign Haidara or similar, it’s all on Bruno to provide the creativity and keep scoring goals. Perfect world we need both types.

I do agree though that a defensive cm would be nice but Haidara is far from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I think when you have 3 players in midfield, it's not necessarily an issue if you don't have a specific defensive midfielder. Especially if you have 3 players in there who are multi skilled; Tielmans/Bruno/Joelinton for example wouldn't be in any way a defensively inept midfield 3 even though you wouldn't describe any of them as a DM.

Dan Gleebals Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Diaby would be unreal. Surely going to take a massive fee to get him here so suspect he would be the icing on the cake and then focus on shifing a load of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 If 9th is the target we can get 2 out of striker, RW & CM. If we want to aim for higher, we'll need all 3. Not to say we can't get higher with just the 2. But that requires both transfers really working. Like the season we signed Cabaye, Ba and Cisse.

sushimonster85 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Feel like all this Tielemans talk is a good opportunity to have another reality check-in. Remember this time last year where the only Leicester midfielder we had any hope of landing was Hamza Choudhury, and even that was never going to happen. Now we're turning our noses up at Tielemans supposed lack of pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
