LV Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 2 hours ago, The College Dropout said: TBF Arsenal's window has gone to plan. They've sorted out their priority positions in time for everyone to play in pre-season. Striker, a creator and a player that can play LB and CM. They've also brought in someone who can play RW. Chelsea are having a mare. Mostly due to a late takeover, players leaving on a free, more players wanting to leave and Barcelona signing 1 of their players (maybe more) and taking 2 of their top targets. We have 0 of our main targets in. I agree with @Tiotes Witch Doctor. Some are acting like this is going to plan and everything is under control. That is clearly not the case. Plan A went to PSG and we are on Plan D and that isn't working out so far either. Botman? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the summer, we would've said RW, ST, CM (assuming we sign MT) were the top priorities. It turns out we circled back to get our CB from January. I'm glad we got him and he could prove to be a bargain. But i wouldn't have said it was a priority position. IMO anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a priority, but I wouldn't ever again want to be 1 injury from potentially having to throw Lascelles into the mix again. I'm personally thrilled he's signed, doesn't change the fact we still need a couple of attacking players of sufficient quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather that isn't the case? Feel free to quote an old post if you've already been over this. Rodgers said absolutely nothing about selling a big name. He said assets, every player on the books is an asset. “It would have to be about trimming the squad or selling your assets.“ The aim is to sell or loan out fringe players and always has been. With the exception of Soyuncu or Tielemans being in their last year. We have to sell or loan out to buy. But we don’t really need to buy that much. Gk Ward / Iverson RB Ricardo / Castagne CB Fofana / Soyuncu CB Evans / Amartey / Vestergaard LB Justin / Thomas RW Perez / Albrighton LW Barnes CM Tielemans / Praet / Choudhury Maddison CM Ndidi / Mendy / Soumare / Dewsbury Hall ST Vardy / Daka / Iheanacho We have too many CM’s and not enough wide men. So we’d want to lose two or three CM’s (not Maddison) and get a winger. Next would be sell a fringe CB and get another better CB. Then perhaps a cheap third choice keeper.

relámpago blanco Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 3 hours ago, The Prophet said: “I became aware towards the end of the season that the club would have to balance it’s books, then of course that becomes very difficult. “The club will not look to spend money they don’t have and that is where the club is stable and they will always be very sensible.” “It would have to be about trimming the squad or selling your assets [to make new signings]. That’s something that the club are looking closely at. “It’s where we’re at. The squad needs to get trimmed. Until that happens, I have to concentrate on the players that I have.” It's a good squad tbf., they need a keeper though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it, the club really rate Iverson and we have another top class young polish keeper. I think they want a progression route for them. Kasper hasn’t been amazing, this season. So it’s a good time to make a change. Still gutted as he’s a legend though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always up to the selling club which players to sell though. Its a good squad. What are your keepers like? You seem a bit light on the wings as well. Perez is not a winger, I know you play him there but if you want the best out of him he needs to be a second striker. That's why his returns are so much lower for you than he was for us and he plays in a much better team now so should be a lot higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a number were already on loan to other clubs before who we know still have interest in them. It’s likely to all be late loan deals. And we juts loan players in, our RW both of last two seasons has been a loan, so we’d just do it again. Edited August 4, 2022 by Foxedup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The one thing I will say, Foxedup seems so desperate to convince us that they aren't selling Maddison that I think he is very worried about losing Maddison.
