AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) I do think RB is a lurking issue as well though, would only take a small thing for Trippier to be out for a significant period. Especially with the amount of games we'll be playing. I'm not surprised Livramento was a major target. Edited July 4, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 We kind of do. Just need to work out what our FFP limit is and it’s probably that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Alex Scott would be pretty much perfect. Already has nearly 100 senior apps so wouldn't really need a loan deal to gain experience, bags of potential and would probably be pushing for a regular spot within a couple of years.

TRon Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Speaking of full backs, our most pressing need is still surely a left back? Or are we happy to go with Burn/Targett for another season? What happened to all the talk of Tierney? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a bit short on numbers on the left side of defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can wait especially if it’s Tierney though. Arsenal will not want to finish the window with a -200m net spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - plus the coaching team can gradually work with him - throw in some CL minutes and he can have the perfect years secondment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh it might actually be a good sign that it's gone really quiet on that front, could well be stuff getting thrashed out behind the scenes as I don't think he'll want to stay there as second choice.

Geordie Boyo Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Left-back and centre-back shouldn’t be too bad for persuading players to sign as there’s more chance they could start games unlike with a new right-back. We do need cover there though, especially with the level we’re playing at now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Yeah if we're going two players for every position the weak links are left back and right wing. Signing a new starting left back with Targett as backup allows Burn to be flexible back up for Botman and at left back also. Miggy/Murphy is a weakness for RW despite how well both did last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 People might underestimate the importance of Burn. He is now serving the first choice left back AND the back up centre back position. Imagine if Burn and Schar got a lengthy injury, we are basically down to Trippier - Las - Botman - Targett. No way we can survive the coming season if such happens Buy a new LB, let Burn be the cover for both positions. This is damn top priority imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Need more people with composure in the final 3rd. Outside of Wilson and Isak we're painfully short of clinical finishers. Almiron will have another good season imo but outside of him I can't really see another player getting 10+ goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read an article about him recently that said he wouldn’t move to a top club to be on the bench most weeks, instead he would rather go to a bottom half Premier League club to play every week before making the step up. It might have been a local article to him. We would probably be better off buying Alcaraz from Southampton who can play anywhere in midfield, on the right and up front.
