Summer Transfer Shit and Everything Else

[Marc Overmars]

Olise would be really good competition for Saka but I suspect he will sign for Chelsea if he’s let go. I don’t see us paying whatever silly money Palace want.

Olise is a winger first and foremost

I kind of feel especially against sides that play with 11 behind the ball that we need more of a target man

Not to say I wouldn’t sign him, just not instead of a more traditional striker

yes, he is more of a winger and you wouldn't want to lose that side of his game, I agree we need a more out-and-out forward

At least he won't go to Chelsea, until next year.

Yup, he's just signed with RB....just seen it on twitter.

A real bummer as he's the only player we've been linked to this summer that actually excites me. Him and of course Yousouf Fofana (aka the second coming of Yaya Toure). I really hope his rumors don't end up being a pipe dream also.

So, it is that time of the year where Arsenal are linked with at least 120 players and most are a done deal.

However, which positions are really needed, if any?

We showed last year that an "out and out striker" may not be needed because the goals were shared around the team.

I believe that we should make it a priority and shift the last of the dead wood (Nketiah, ESR, Jesus, Zin and Vieria) and stick with the team we have. Maybe promote one or two of the youngsters. Obi-Martin is one to keep an eye on.

[Mac76]

He won't ditch both ESR and Vieira, my bet is they keep Vieira, I still believe we can get more out of him if Arteta will give him more minutes, either in place of Saka or more centrally
