Summer Transfer Deadline Day 19/20

[albakos]

So if everyone fit our strongest line up

Leno
Bellerin Luiz Holding Tierney
Torreira Ceballos
Pepe Özil Auba
Laca
Or
Leno
Bellerin Holding Luiz Tierney
Torreira
Xhaka Ceballos
Pepe Auba
Laca

Pretty good. The problem is playing auba on wings won't be ideal

Just swap Ceballos, who might need accommodating and bring Torreira with Xhaka.
This partnership was very good on first half of last season, but then Emery surprisingly decided to make all sorts of variations of it with Ramsey, Guendouzi and Elneny

With all fit I think the best formation is

Leno
Bellerin - Luiz - Holding - Tierney
Torreira - Xhaka
Pepe-Özil-Auba
Laca​

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Seeing bellerin won't be fit until 2 months we really have to get backup RB AMN in not RB

 

[Mark Tobias]

Beautiful window. Strong message sent to rivals, to the team and to us as fans. I am very optimistic for the future. We simply have to get back into the top 4 now. No excuses really.

 

[zilfy]

Hopefully to have a madness surprise by Raul

Well when you think we bid 55 mil two days ago (on Upa), and then went and spent 33 mil on Tierney and luiz instead, that still leaves 22 mil.

22 mil + 35 for iwobi= 57 mil

Zaha anybody?

 

[Ricardinho]

Leno

Torreira Ceballos
Pepe Özil Auba
Laca

Xhaka Ceballos

Looks good

Don't see it taking too long for Ceballos to edge ahead of xhaka

 

[Iceman10]

Everton have signaled they have money for Zaha from prior bids, and now Zaha has put in a transfer request. Just a bit sceptical of Everton going up to 35-40m for Iwobi, knowing that likely would help us get Zaha. Everton wants Zaha.

 

[Rex Stone]

Think Guendo has looked alright in pre season, think him and Joe will shine.

 

[Anders Harbo]

The Upamecano fund is gathering pace. I like it.

Fixed

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Damn, even though we all know there's nothing to come on top I just can't switch off.

****ing addicted to that deadline transfer surprise feeling. Biggest fix there is.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Fixed

Honestly, I'm on board with either, just need that cherry to complete this sweet sweet sundae

 

[2Smokeyy]

The pressure on Woodward to find a replacement for Lukaku after they sold him, I can see them going for Mandzukic and Zaha even though he’s not a direct replacement.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Not bothered by Elneny right now as I don't see him stealing game time from anyone anymore. He's finished and we will also not reinvest for his money in the remaining time of the window..

Mustafi on the other hand could still sneak into games and ruin stuff, that's where it's at.

 

[Hunta]

Bellerin/AMN
Sokratis/Chambers
Luiz/Holding
Tierney/Kolasinac

Monreal, Mavropanos (loan) and Mustafi could all go now.

Torreira/Guendouzi
Xhaka/Willock
Ceballos/Özil

Elneny can go, Smith Rowe on loan.

 

[field442]

Damn, even though we all know there's nothing to come on top I just can't switch off.

Seeing as how our business seems done let’s have some fun with ****ty ITK.

Give me someone exciting at least.

 

[Makingtrax]

2 defenders takes this up to 8/10 window.

Luiz wouldn’t have been my first choice but 3 good reasons to get him:

1 massive upgrade on Mustafi
2 good experienced player to help Holding develop
3 massive upgrade on Mustafi

 

[ChefMan21]

Not Zaha (although I wouldn't be unhappy). Give me an £75-odd million central midfielder (i.e. Casemiro/de Jong level) as a long-term replacement for Ramsey instead.

 

[Ricardinho]

The pressure on Woodward to find a replacement for Lukaku after they sold him, I can see them going for Mandzukic and Zaha even though he’s not a direct replacement.

Buying zaha back would be such a united thing to do

 

[Hjalmaar]

Luiz wouldn’t have been my first choice but 3 good reasons to get him:

1 massive upgrade on Mustafi
2 good experienced player to help Holding develop
3 massive upgrade on Mustafi

On top of that, he's an absolutely massive upgrade on Mustafi.

 

[Iceman10]

Not Zaha (although I wouldn't be unhappy). Give me an £75-odd million central midfielder (i.e. Casemiro/de Jong level) as a long-term replacement for Ramsey instead.

Would you do that on top of Ceballos, or let him have the season on loan and leave open the possibility he is the one to spend money on?
