Sorry @Wittl, but

@Osman
Tbh I was so damn surprised as I saw those numbers and statistics. I've always liked to watch him play, and I liked how he fights, but I lost interest in Arsenal games, so I wasn't really sure if his workrate just has declined through the last season. It seems not to be true, so I can finally delete this Excel-file

Different less mobile role past year plus right now he wants to get the fuck out of Arsenal so his heart isn't in it anymore.

Rather have a lazy player that scores me 20+ crucial goals than a headless chicken that deflect every shot on goal.

And people complain about spending money on him.

The guy is one for the future.

we can spend all the money we want on him

BUT

let's spend what it takes to buy top players on needed positions like a RB...

You guys realize we will spend practically nothing on our backline and it will still be upgraded? Spinazzola and Caldara anyone?

We are significantly reducing the age of our defense next summer. Our midfielders are no spring chickens either.

Buy this SMS kid at all costs. For those of you fucking pissed we missed Twitter Queen last summer, don't you think its wise to get this guy?

Mark...you already know Beppe is losing sleep over this Bosman list. God.

Imagine...if you can...in one window where we bring Spinazzola and Caldara back AND try for De Vrij and/or Gimenez.

Licht and Barzagli's days are numbered. We need to ditch Asamoah while we still can too. lol if we ever wanna get close to that MVP midfield again we need to start with this guy and partner him with Pjanic/Matuidi.

We need nothing really in attack...maybe (keyword: Maybe) a backup for Higuain. Our offense is set.

 

[Mark]

who could be that top RB?

So I take it you wish not to sign Spinazzola?

I want the luxury to have Spina as a ''backup''.

Then if you could buy a RB, who would it be?

We have the luxury to have MDS.

all in on Hysaj, if we cant get him then Meunier. other than those 2 i dont see anyone else good enough and available

we need Spazzolino AND a RB. or you would want another year with Asa as backup?

If it means we get SMS, then yes.

hm lets see: Caldara free, Spinazzola free, possibly Can and/or De Vrij both free, possibly Kean and/or Mandragora back from loan both free. Asa, Licht, Sami, Barza, Gigi gone, possibly Benatia too, thats a lot of wages freed up + a decent sum in transfer fees. Costa will probably be bought tho, i wonder if we can afford both Hysaj and SMS on top of that. i want to believe we can, but just in case sell Higgy for 50M

Don't forget Gimenez

Where is @rakib567 to make this work?

Lets see here, feel free to correct the math:


Out: Buffon, Licht, Asa, Khedira, Barzagli, Benatia (really?)



GK: Piotr's guy, backup (?)
RB: Hysaj($?), MDS
CB: Rugani, Caldara (own), Chiellini, De Vrij (free), Gimenez (free), Howedes (?)
LB: Sandro, Spinazzola (own)
CM: Pjanic, SMS ($40m + Lord Passback), Marchisio, Can (free), Bencantur
AM: Cuads, DC, Bernie, Dybala, Pjaca
ST: Higuain, MARIO FUCKING MANDZUKIC touched

- - - Updated - - -

We wouldn't be spending a lot of money

we wouldnt spend money on a lot of players, whether is a lot of money or not i dont know yet (probably is, Hysaj has a 50M claise iirc) . the only 3 players we would be spending money on would be Costa, a RB (Hysaj :xfinger and SMS imo (id prefer if we dont buy Howedes if we are gonna get De Vrij/Gimenez for free, we should also sell Benatia in that case), rest are freebies. affordable i think

oh and almost forgot, if Cavani is available come summer, we have to go for him. id sell Higuain anyway and replace him with someone younger, but if Cavani cna be bought we have to do it
