{Ed025's Note - i know brow..hes hardly cleverley is he?.. :)

06 Jun 2015 20:22:29
To be fair cleverley at times looks class. But he has the same problem as welbeck in that he has been emotionally scared by fergie 😒

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - in which dream did he look class brow?..

06 Jun 2015 20:36:26
He's alright on Fifa 15 ed 😝

Hey I wouldn't have him at arsenal but I'd be happy to have him at Everton. Who do you want this summer mate? There's a few players there that I would like at arsenal Barkley, bains , Coleman McCarthy and stones nothing wrong with lukaku. Send cleverley back and ask if you can have Milner at Β£150k a week ha Liverpool have a nightmare on their hands let me tell you

Remember back in early January when a lot of people were getting very excited about Bielik going straight into the team :-)
Seems a long time ago now but things were very desperate at the time with a lot of people willing to pin their hopes anyone just to get our season going, funny none of us even mentioned Le Coq back then but 5 months on and most of us can't stop talking about how brilliant he is :-)
Its a funny old game.

Definitely one for the future G62.

Coquelin is definitely for the here and now.

If the most recent newspaper reports are to be believed it would seem that our 3 main targets are currently:

Petr Cech
Geoffrey Kondogbia
Gonzalo Higuain

Would everyone be happy with these 3?

Believable3 Unbelievable0

06 Jun 2015 11:19:35
would prefer a different type of striker, but if that's who we signed come start of the season i would be very happy.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Jun 2015 11:41:11
Very happy if we signed the 3 players mentioned.. I would prefer benzema but would also be over the moon with higuain if we manage to sing him.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - if you want to sing someone peter..go for alex song.. :)

A sixpence and a pocket full of rye

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - sounds like evertons transfer budget that brow..

06 Jun 2015 12:51:02
well the sixpence is already spent on the taxi it cost to take cleverly to his medical ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - looks like just the rye left then brow.. :)

06 Jun 2015 09:41:52
Heard this and had to stop by. Tom cleverley 50k a week at everton. The guys average
Sad day for football. Milner on 150k is always very funny.

Cech. Kondogbia. Higuain get it done Wenger

Peace x

I hope Cleverley wasn't on your 300 list? :-)

We are being linked with Higuain again, which could be lazy journalism. Surely if we wanted him we would have signed him a few seasons back but our head got turned by something better.
If that's the case, keep walking now
I believe he is a good finisher and great first touch plus can score with both feet but I would like a little more pace than him up front as you cannot compete with pace
Just my thoughts....

Paddy was the box to box player and at times left us a little exposed because he ran faster going forward. Silva, Petit and Coq are more the CDM
I however would like to add a person like Vidal who can do both and with pace & power. Two defensive midfielders only work when we play the top 4 but even then I want some pace & power to catch them on the counter

If we add another quality MF player and a striker we have to make room for them.
Giroud Walcott and new man? 3 into 1 don't go.
MF 5 starters from Le Coq Ramsey Caz Ozil Sanchez Ox Wilshere Welbeck Walcott plus new man? 10 into 5 don't go and neither does 10 into 8 if you count the bench.
Arteta Rosicky Gnarby are the fringe players who cover injuries and come cover the bench.
If we constantly rotate to keep all happy we will struggle and no way are players like Jack Theo Welbeck Ox and Spyder going to be happy not playing let alone not even making the bench.
Upgrade by all means but we also have to make the tough decisions too.
Vidal in Caz out anyone? Or Spyder in by by Aaron? Higuain in see ya Theo?
We can't keep saying let Diarby and Flamini go :-)

Agree1 Disagree1

06 Jun 2015 11:27:24
yeah spot on. we definitely have to thin a few out and refresh and we could get a good fee for some of the above mentioned. And as for a striker it depends who we get if it was higuain giroud would have to depart and if was someone like Aubameyang then see ya later walcot/welbeck. Its a headache looking at us in midfield we must be the best equipped team in EPL in that department.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - i think you could be right brow..

06 Jun 2015 12:10:04
SELL:

Arteta
Flamini
Diaby
Campbell
Podolski
Welbeck

LOAN:

Shezza
Chambers
Gnabry
Hayden
Jenkinson
Akpom

BUY:

Cech
Kondogbia/Vidal
Benzema/Higuain

Team for 2015/16:

Cech/Ospina

Bellerin/Debuchy
Mert/Gabriel/Kos
Monreal/Gibbs

Le Coq/Vidal or Kondogbia
Cazorla/Ramsey/Wilshere
Walcott/Ox
Ozil/Cazorla/Rosicky
Sanchez/Walcott/Ox

Giroud/Higuain/Walcott/Sanchez

That's 22 top top quality players playing for 11 positions. If players aren't happy to fight for their position and work hard then I'm sorry they have to be moved on. Sentiment has no place in modern football ( look what mourinho has done ie lampard, mata etc) we will play 50-60 games next season so I think this squad could do extremely well on all fronts. Wenger has to rotate players or burn out will be a massive factor and probably derail our season. We could switch to two CDM for away games against the top 4 and we would have enough pace and power to hit anyone on the break. For me that squad is very balanced and has quality in every position. What do you guys think?

{Ed025's Note - in think you should apply for wengers job peter...looks damned good to me mate..

Adding players like Vidal and Higuain to our current squad can only be a good thing. I don't see why we have to release players to fit them in. Release the players who's contracts have ended then let everyone else compete for their positions. If the boss feels that someone is only going to make the bench the that's his choice. None of the players will be upset if we go on to win the league, they're professional football players, they will look to compete.look at the recent championship winning city and Chelsea squads, they were packed with players equally as good as each other.

Agree3 Disagree0

06 Jun 2015 12:47:51
Totally agree with your assessment of our squad for next season Peter. Although I would possibly rethink sending Chambers out on loan, or maybe make sure we could recall if needed.

Agree2 Disagree0

06 Jun 2015 12:58:29
Just about spot on... agree also about chambers yorkshire!

I don't think we will clear out that many though, but its a fine balance between having a squad full of depth and an overcrowded one, you need upcoming players who want to push through, older more experienced players who are happy with bit parts and players of good quality who believe they are good enough to play. I think with new additions we would fall into the overcrowded but with a few select trimmings we could have a beautiful squad full of ambition and drive.

Agree2 Disagree1

06 Jun 2015 13:28:48
I agree with you there Yorkshire, send chambers out on loan but have a recall option in the terms of the loan deal and id also do the same with jenkinson just incase the she*p hit's the fan and injuries plague our back line. God knows we'll all be sweating like pregnant nun's if we have no recall option and lose some of our starting defenders.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2015 06:59:06
If the star is right and we are buying Kondogbia. Think I will just cream by pants. He is the closet thing to viera I have seen an awesome player who for under 25 mill would be a steal.
Him and coq in midfield would give us a great base in the big games away to the top 4 and the big boys in the champs league.

My dream summer would be to buy

Kondogbia
Benzema/higuarn
chech

That would be enough to challenge for the treble

We need to be ruthless and sell or release

Artea, diaby, sangoo, wellbeck (afobe to take his place) poldski Campbell ( never had a chance though ) shezza

If we sold Walcott but signed reus I could live with that but doubt Walcott will be sold as we need English players in the squard
