📢 Rumour Benjamin Sesko

[MikelHadADream]

Overkill? It’s not enough. We also need a quality winger

Six players for 3 positions. Who would you get rid of if we were to bring in that quality winger?

 

[MikelHadADream]

It's not overkill 6 players for 3 positions is the minimum number also these options you can depend on and rotate it's better than having Nelson or Eddie come from bench doing nothing also Mikel lost all trust in them.

They’re all senior players, and Arteta (rightfully) won’t rotate Saka and likely Havertz. A few of them will be getting very limited game time if we add anothe.

Jesus can play RW/LW/CF, Martinelli LW, Trossard LW/RW/AM/CF.

With a new LW and Vieira getting sold then Trossard would mostly get to play AM. New LW competes with Martinelli.

You don't get rid of any of them until a season or two passes. You keep the "winner" and sell the "loser".

I think they'll accept their role as squad players city have Doku Grealish and Alvarez on bench they never moaned about lack of minutes

I would be happy with Martinelli, Trossard, Havertz, Sesko, Saka and Jesus.

If I had to pick one to make way it would be Jesus, too injury prone and not clinical enough however I don't think that is too much of an issue for Saka's understudy and 3rd choice striker. Whether he would be happy with that role and whether we should be paying those wages to someone in that role is a whole other argument.

 

[OnlyOne]

Forget Jesus, guy requires another knee surgery.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Idk, I feel like it might be a more exciting signing if we were still chasing top 4.

This. The striker market looks pretty underwhelming at the moment and I just don’t think it would be wise dropping £65m+ on a project.

I’d prefer if we strengthen other areas of the pitch and commit to a CF when someone who’s a significant (key word) upgrade on Havertz becomes available.

It’s all well and good us thinking it’s not there but if the club rate this guy and think in a season or so he’s going to explode then it’s going to be worth it.

We do have to sign a striker tho, we can’t get away with not.

Agreed but I just can’t see him going. It’s going to be very hard to shift established international players this summer I think.

6 players 3 positions is not enough. There is more CL games next season. I would hope we won’t get knocked out of both cups straight away and Arteta actually improve his cup competition record. Also Jesus has missed over 20 games both seasons he has been here and I sure as hell wouldn’t count on Martinelli to find his form

Havertz
Sesko
Jesus
Saka
Martinelli
Trossard
Nico William or another winger

This should be minimum if you wanna compete with city. Another thing is there is a euro and coppa being played. Season with international competition means the season after there is more injuries as a lot of players didn’t have break. We will never have the season we had now in long time with so little injuries

If I speak about who this transfer reminds me of then I’ll be in trouble so it’s best I don’t comment.

For me Isak is the guy because he can play with or instead of Havertz at LW or striker respectively but if that's not feasible, I agree, keep Kai at CF and go and get an elite wing player with game altering pace and goals in his game and a proper partner for Rice and Ødegaard. If we can't get an Auba, we need a Mane. I don't want a potential Jeffers.

Sure thing, Isak would have been the safer option to hit the ground running and it’s more of what we need if we want to win the PL next season and go a step or two further in the CL. That’s definitely one of the few striker options that I would be open to but I just can’t see Newcastle willing to sell him especially if Bruno G leaves this summer which looks likely given his rumoured clause.

I’ve changed my opinion on Isak since his move to the PL tbf same thing for Gordon as I didn’t buy into the hype when he was at Everton but he looks useful.

Yeah I don't think it's doable. Gordon is an interesting one but not sure they'd sell him either.

I was thinking about how I'd always ruled Leao out due to him not displaying the work rate and being a bit casual for Arteta's tastes but seeing how we were able to get on fine with Trossard not being the most robust in that sense and assuming Rice will be covering at the left 8, maybe he's the one to take a risk on. Not PL proven obviously but the talent is off the charts.

I would even kick the tires on a Joao Felix who I thought actually looked good at times for a dysfunctional Chelsea and may not cost a ton. There are a few different options at different price points and levels of risk that I would greatly prefer to Sesko.

 

[StefanB]

Vieira won’t get sold.

Then he's third choice on RW and at LCM. Seeing as he's barely got a sniff since returning from injury I doubt he's got Arteta's trust.

Ok here it is. Don’t want Sesko. But would take Joao Felix. Yeah the worst take I have ever seen. Atletico want to get rid, Barca don’t want him. Chelsea didn’t want him. But you see something while turning your nose on one of the best young strikers in the world

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

I think at 196 cm tall this is already a player Arteta wants a lot.

Think he will be very good addition to our squad.

 

[avenellroad]

Šeško reminds me a lot of a young Harry Kane. Finishing ability when he gets within range of the goal off both feet and great at linking up the play.

Nobody wants him. There is a clue there. Avoid.
