I didn’t really realise he was on such huge salary with us and that they raised it a bunch when he joined them. Madness. I can see why they signed him, he's got the tools to be a good player and maybe Arteta feels he can get more out of him. I'm just sort of shocked that Havertz was their first choice target...I thought he was Bayern bound or stuck with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Funny since all the targets we are being linked with are pretty young themselfs. xPetrCechx and bluesman2610 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,430 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Sign Caicedo, a CB with experience 25-28 years old and a GK in the range 28-31. I’d rock with what we have going into this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,255 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Remember how massive the difference was for Liverpool when they stopped fucking around with average keepers and went out and got Alisson? He was a transformational player for their whole team. Thats what needs to happen with us. We need a serious keeper who inspires confidence in the entire side. Kepa is bang average and will cost us points. If we had a rock solid and experienced side in front of him he could be masked and “hidden.” But a young and basically all new team needs a dependable rock behind them and Kepa isn’t that. There’s gotta be something we can do. Something that doesn’t require us spending mega money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bono on a two/three year deal with the hope Slonina has a similar loan spell to the Snake. That would be the ideal scenario, and it would cost us peanuts in the process.

I’d go after Sevilla shot stopper Bono. And for CB that’s a little trickier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,584 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Kudus be a good pick up,regular matchday squad member,with Poch wanting a smaller squad need a few utility players,and is potential to become more . But top keeper and DM by far the biggest need.luckily for us,pretty decent options compared to other positions. bluesman2610 and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 The new season is is not like previous seasons because we have some serious opposition. City, Arsenal and United back from the mothballs, Newcastle. Pool I don't fancy but should be mentioned plus anyone else who may turn up. Forget 2022-23 but during the two Tuchel seasons it was City-pool and nothing else really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane how the club has got the wage bill down by a couple of million per week and there's still a high earner - Lukaku - to leave The structure seems a lot better now - Only James and Sterling on high wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is Raya and Sanchez in the Premier League too. Will be cheap to land them too. I'm sure after all the loans are decided the club will sign a GK2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
