Linked with Coutinho again. No doubt due to links with Raul and his shady pals.
I honestly think Pep sees his defence as a chance to field 4 more midfielders.
32 on Sunday!
I don’t know... with our other wide options being Saka, Nelson, Martinelli and a Pepe who’s still finding his feet then I guess bringing in an experienced, Prem-ready winger could make some kind of sense?
But I just don’t trust Raul, or that that’s his thinking here - it’ll just be Kia selling us whoever again. I really hope that Clifford Chance bloke the Kroenkes brought in is paying close attention to what’s going on this summer...
Anyway, might as well do this now
People i think we should definitely sell if we can:
Ozil
Gone dozy (geddit?)
Sokratis
Kola
Xhaka
Mustafi
(I'd so love to know i'd never see those last three names in an arsenal lineup again)
Would also sell Laca if we get a good offer, likewise Torreira
Send on loan: Nketiah, Mavropanos, Willock
Plus sell all those people i don't even know if they're Arsenal players any more, like El Neny (if we haven't already)
We need to keep Auba, and obviously won't (and shouldn't) be selling new(ish) signings like Tierney etc, but also hope we keep AMN
We need to try to buy:
- one more good CB
- creative midfielder
- holding midfielder
- reserve goalie (now we have two number ones), unless Macey is up to it
If we sell Laca, i guess another striker, although we have Martinelli to come back
Anything i've missed?
Mavropano has already gone on loan to VfB Stuttgart for next season.
Ok, didn't know that
United are close to signing Sancho.
Need to get Ceballos secure for at least another season - that’s gonna be a real kick in the nuts because he already feels like our player, so it’s literally money we’ve got to find just to stand still.Anyway, might as well do this now

Also wouldn’t be surprised if we listened to offers for Bellerin.
Other than that, I reckon you’ve just about covered it. I’ll comb through it properly later / tomorrow, but it looks pretty close to my to-do list
Yes, absolutely we need to keep Ceballos, good shout
