Max Meyer will leave Schalke in the summer.

We should get him to replace Jack.

He's still a very good player but he is the last area where we need improvement.

We are stacked in that position, Ozil and Mkhitaryan are amongst our best players.

And no not really. As I said above do you not think other teams have been watching us play and are going to pay top dollar for tripe like Mustafi, Chambers, Iwobi etc? Whereas any player we will want with any pedigree & hype the selling team will be able to extract major money considering the current market.


And we kind of lucked out that there was a bidding war with Chelsea which raised the price. But the point is that had we sold him a year before that we could have easily got 50 million if not more as a young talented English player.

TEG, I get what you are saying and I agree we need to implement some sort of spine to the team because we currently don't have one!

We need a keeper, central defender and central midfielder as a priority. One of those areas could possibly be filled by an internal solution, but I think at a minimum we will need 2 signings for those 3 positions.

Where I agree with the others and disagree with you is sacrificing Lacazette. Having 2 very good strikers is a must if we want to get back up to challenging top 4 / trophies.

We need to keep both Auba and Laca irrespective of our budget.

I would love it just to see him play for us. Even though he is Old Man Iniesta he is still on occasion amazing to watch.

As it is, he is very likely to be going to China.

I think Iniesta is the calibre of player you make an exception for even at his age. If he was willing to come here, Arsenal should absolutely bring him here. He'd be able to play the holding role much better than Xhaka just by not giving the ball away in the worst positions and being an infinitely better footballer. There's is literally nothing we would lose, other than maybe the odd cynical tackle.

Not that he should play that role...but just making a point!

Papers were reporting Pep wants Iniesta in gypoland. They definitelycould have made that up out of thin air.

Arsenal closing in on Dortmund CB Sokratis for 17m.
