Jeremy Doku is the most exciting one of the lot but also the most risky, Ferran Torres is the safest option.

Someone like vlahovic who basically has no positive qualities aside from his theoretical goal scoring and size is worth 50 million. Especially given we have Archer and Duran coming through who are players we think could be 50 million themselves in a couple years. It makes a lot more sense to go for young wingers who are cheap enough that purchasing them isn't ruinous financially, they can contribute and their vakue can grow. Ignoring Vlahovic for the moment, I think it’s of massive value to buy another striker. Whether you disagree with another striker in their prime is another discussion but I certainly think another option to Watkins is needed for this season more than whatever happens to Archer and Duran. Emery seems to feel the same way from his comments. As for who that player could be is a separate discussion and I’m open to suggestions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A difficult position to fill, I still think we’ll go for a “specialist winger” like Unai said we were targeting in January Diaby isn’t a specialist winger imo, I genuinely can’t think of a striker out there that’s available and represent value.

Buendia won’t get much time on the pitch with any of those three if we sign them. He’s already behind Bailey in the pecking order and he’s garbage.

It's Your Round Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Exciting times are coming our way. Diaby, Torres, Tielemans, Doku, a new striker and full back cover and we are more than sorted. We will need to shift some wages off the books though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Chelsea fan on the surface but starting to wonder if he's a closeted Villan.

thabucks Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Interesting to see if the Vlahovic links are BS or we are indeed interested… Ramos is a step too far probs right now. Jonathan David would be near the top of my list… Seeing Leipzig have signed Sesko & Openda I wonder if Andre Silva could be an option ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I think we are talking about the same person and video Could be. Emery was certainly being lauded to the point where they started questioning Arsenal's decision to sack him. Fwiw, I think top 4 is certainly achievable, but the forward department is a slight concern. Still, would absolutely love to see Archer step up to this level. Remember that header he scored against Chelsea in the League cup? That confirms, for me, that the potential is certainly there, and who better than this coaching set - up to tap into it.
