SuperSAINT Posted 28 December, 2017 Share Posted 28 December, 2017 I agree about Rodgers and Dembele, but not selling McQueen and Redmond. A good manager would get the best out of them. Pep obviously can see the potential that Redmond has, and is also frustrated seeing his progress stopped. Dembele should certainly be on the shortlist. It would be interesting to see how many strikers show up around the £22m-25m bracket on the black-box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKD Posted 28 December, 2017 Author Share Posted 28 December, 2017 Pay whatever it takes to get Giroud, he’ll offer us something different and give us a true focal point of our attack. If we’re going to continue to play 1 up top, we need a target man who can hold the ball up.... think an upgrade on Austin. Don’t get the fuss around Walcott, although he’d be better on the right than Redmond is. Think we need a right sided CB to replace VvD. And a Keeper but can’t see that happening just yet.

That seems like a plan to me. I’d rather have Giroud than Walcott and Forster would be a lot better playing in a settled and organised defence.

pangy Posted 28 December, 2017 Share Posted 28 December, 2017 Giroud would be perfect imo, I know it seems out of reach but he would be that lone striker in the same mould as Pelle. Dembele or Sinclair from Celtic would be decent as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dembele or Sinclair from Celtic would be decent as well Giroud, Aboubakar, Dost are the type of centre forwards (not specifically the names, but the attributes) we need to be targetting. Then let Boufal, Gabbiadini et all free in and around them. We'll probably see a lot more from Gabbiadini if he had someone to play off of.

I've always said i hear almost zero about signings, players leaving or managers going on the other hand you tend to get a lot more leaks about, mainly because the players at the club tend to talk fairly openly so it filters down as rumours. The times you tend to hear about players coming in is when it's leaked from the other team, which does happen occasionally. Some of my sources are fairly high up in the club, but they're normally the most tight lipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 28 December, 2017 Share Posted 28 December, 2017 Just like all everton's signings were the dream. Or West Ham's. I really can't wait for the day when people put decent management and coaching over shiny new signings. really no idea what it'd take for that to happen though. Agreed.

harriesss Posted 28 December, 2017 Share Posted 28 December, 2017 Walcott is exactly what we don’t need.

doggface Posted 28 December, 2017 Share Posted 28 December, 2017 Can totally see this happening if he takes a realistic pay cut. Could be a great signing, but totally out of favour at arsenal.
