Picking up some good free transfers would help boost the squad and options

Guido Rodriquez and Hermoso please. I’d also check out Martin Terrier at Rennes. He’s recovered from his ACL and is now bad in the team and scoring. He had 21 goals or something form LW/IF the season before his injury.

Showing your age there @Blasterpocket68 nanoo, nanoo

Joking aside it’s the partner deals we need, similar to those that Chelsea or Liverpool have. They seem to have partner organisations for anything and everything. 

How about a ticket to one of Emi’s BBQs as well

With most of us not being able to get tickets these days without a season ticket how about a lottery where tickets to games can be won, perhaps with some player meetings, tunnel access etc. 

I’d buy a ticket

For me Summer = deadwood out, savvy signings in (frees and cheaper players with contracts running down).

Guido Rodriquez is back playing now after his broken leg, scored last time out against  Villareal. He’d be a great signing for the DM role. 

Get his mate Acuna in also for LB and ship out Digne to Stevie G in Saudi.

Others I’ve mentioned, who have contracts expiring in 2025, include Pavlidis, Geertruida and Veerman (2026). Geertruida might be too expensive for us though.

If we could get Hermoso in on a free and Frimpong via his RC then that would be an amazing window.  We might need to shift Cash if we were go after Frimpong though and for FFP reasons too.

Didn’t we supposedly have scouts at the last Porto Arsenal game, wonder if they’re there tonight? 

One or more of Otavio, Nico Gonzalez or Alan Varela would be my guess

I wonder if, with our FFP situation we'll look to bring in mouldable younger players that will cost less but with Emery's coaching ability be made into star players. If we kept our core senior players it could work.  There are plenty of potential gems out there that are ripe for the picking. That kid at Hull looks good (you see what I did there)

Watching the Burnley second half  and Fofana really impressed me as the CF. Good runs and he's scored a few for them so far.

Not going to get a look in at Chelsea so we could do worse this summer given his age and experience already.

I was an advocate for us signing him before Chelsea nabbed him. Him and Lesley Ugochukwu. I think Fofana has something about him but I'd like us t take a look at Karim Konate at Salzburg if we're after a young forward/striker.

I’ve avoided here until now and get the bed wetting to some degree but we are where we are on merit. It’s still in our hands. Yes our form is a bit pants at present, which I put down to Torres and Kamara absences, more the latter.

However, we’re above both Spurs and Man Utd and have been for some time. It’s always easier to chase down someone than lead. We just need to hold firm a bit and I’ll think we’ll bring it home (4th). 

Nervous excited for this one. It depends if we turn up against them as we did against City. If we do I think we’ll do well against them. If we play a bit lacklustre like we did against Luton then I can see us really struggling, especially if Maddison plays

I’d be happy with a draw. 

Random question, if we were in for Frimpong, is he classed as homegrown due to be at city?

I don’t know, like you say we need someone comfortable with the ball which can be difficult with a DM it’s pretty different to our needs from a few years ago.

Tyler Morton at Hull, not sure Plop will part with him though. 

Always liked the Lyon adidas kits from a couple of seasons ago and some of the River Plate stuff is nice, especially the double coloured sleeve training gear from this season. 

Especially for Sunday how about…

Mattt Cash, oh Matty Cash, Dirty Cash’ll hurt ya, Dirty Cash’ll hurt ya, oh

To the tune of dirty cash obviously. 

Be interesting to see how Mannsverk plays for them as he’s a decent young DM option. 

With us scouting Porto on a number of occasions I wonder if we’re looking at Otavio as a LCB option or Nico Gonzales as a CM/DM option, or both. 

I’d like to see a LW/IF come in, something a bit different to Ramsey or Buendia, who I’m assuming would be the AM options for the left, especially seeing as the RW/SS role is Diaby/Bailey at present.

Who that is open to debate. 

Also, is Martinez pally with Guido Rodriquez. His contract expires at Betis this June so would be a decent Bosman pick up for Kamaras spot. 

I’d like us to take a look at Pavlidis at AZ as I think he’d be a decent option instead or alongside Watkins. Looked tidy against us and his scoring record is amazing in an average AZ team. Inferior league granted but he’s done well In Europe.

He only has a year left on his contract too.

Would help our revenue with all the branded Onion Bardghjis we would be able to sell at games

Needs to smash Gabbys record as Ollie is a proper striker and deserves it more. 

Also, IF we have no FFP room, who would we get in, that wouldn’t break the bank? Who you got?
