January Transfer Window 25/26

It would be interesting to see how they manage it, perhaps it would mean a more long term movement of Mayenda to the right side - but I think thats too much striker competition if thats a thing.

Should we sign another striker someone more of the Sidiki Cherif profile who won't be expecting consistent starts would be nicer, a young lad who can come in and play once we eventually sell one of ours.

 

Guendouzi and Yilmaz would do nicely. One additional central midfielder that is in the Xhaka/sadiki/diarra class, and a versatile attacker capable of playing across the front 3 that is a step up above any of our attackers. Make them both earn their place from the bench to begin with.

also think we might go a bit mad buying 17-20 year olds like Brentford do.

 

1000% the 2 main positions to target, maybe I'm mad but I don't really want Guendouzi and would prefer we get a left footer to play on the right - but someone versatile and/or comfortable on both feet wouldn't be sniffed at.

 

Always sceptical of those who scored goals in the Dutch league. Once bitten...

 

Hmm, RVN United, RVP Arsenal, DB Arsenal. They all seemed to do ok at scoring goals.

 

That's great but none of them scored any goals for us.

Neither did Jozy Altidore who scored for fun in the Netherlands before we spent a fortune on him

 

I’d want a younger player in Xhaka’s position who’d eventually replace him but can step in for games now when he’s suspended. I also thing we need more goal threats behind the 9 and a better second left back.

 

their fans are fuming over this,
think they are selling him cheaply

 

Not much they can do about it if there us a release clause!

 

aye,
what is annoying them the most,

they hope he stays, and they get european football.

but I think he is gone,

well if he does go, thats a rival a bit weaker

 

Getting a younger player with Xhakas experience would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

 

And a £100,000,000 needle.

 

Just been checking on Xhaka's career before Arsenal and I was surprised they paid £35 million to Borussia Mönchengladbach for him in 2016. Didn't know it was that much. Arsenal wanted to buy Kanté before him but were put off by the agents' fees which were more than £10 million.

 

I think a right winger to go with Traore and we are sound up till the point we can make a splash on someone that upgrades us elsewhere. I find it hard upgrading our current best team on paper.

 

gabriel Sara perhaps. He’s been linked before, although raiding Galatasary for him and Yilmaz seems an expensive January raid.

bouadd from Lille would be unreal. Massive clubs after him but we could promise him first team football in the prem, with a development focus, and Francophile coach + squad.
