    There's some good older players who's contracts run up at the end of the season. I posted a link in a different thread, but can't remember which one it was now. Sagna, Zabaleta, Lucas Leiva to name a few who could all do a job for us

    He was unanimously city's worst player this season and their fans couldn't be happier to see him go, in a totally non malicious/professionalism questioning sense.

    They say he can't pass, dribble or tackle anymore, so I am not in support of this.

    He's still better than Holebas.

    I disagree, I think that the position of left-back is perfectly well covered by Holebas and Mason. I think the club should be more concerned with upgrading the midfield. Cleverley and Doucoure aside, I think some wingers to replace the departed Niang and the disappointing Amrabat, (Success and Pereyra maybe?), and some central midfielders to replace the presumably departing Behrami and Watson.

    I still think we need another Left wing back, Jose is a suspension waiting to happen and Mason would benefit from a season loan in the championship.

    Yeah i agree, for me i would buy a winger with pace and also a striker who has pace. Oh and definitely in need of another centre back as good as Prodl

    Can't believe Suggestions Summer is leaving City.

    I'd like us to make an bid for Lucas Perez. He's apparently in talks with Deportivo over the possibility of returning and publicly stated he wants out of Arsenal. I'm sure we could match any offer they make in terms of wages and transfer fee.

    I say we gatecrash their deal for Perez and while they're getting over it put a big bid in for Adone

    Perez would be an unbelievable signing but I just can't see it happening. His value won't have gone up since being at Arsenal so his transfer fee wouldn't be too much of an issue, I just don't see him ending up with us.
     
  16. JK HORNET

    JK HORNET Reservist

    Agreed unfortunately. Would love us to try though just to show the calibre of player we're interested in. Hearing Silva, deeney etc talk of the clubs project makes me have hope we're gonna move to the next level and I think this is the sort of player we need to get us there. Players such as Lemina and Adone, but we need to be more flexible with finances otherwise it'll be a repeat of the last few transfer windows where the likes of boufal and gabbiadini slipped through the net because Southampton offered more.

    I think Arsenal are gonna surprise everybody by spending some big money this season and there could be some decent players leaving. If this happens we'd be silly not to offer them the chance to change club without having to move their lives/families around. Cech's move to Arsenal from Chelsea proves just how important these considerations are for players. Theres good chance they laugh in our faces, but If we don't ask we'll never know. Perez, Coquelin, Elneny, Gibbs, Szczesny, Jenkinson, Debuchy, Ospina are all players I can see Arsenal moving on and would all have a point to prove if it happens

    Gonzalo Escalante. Young Argentine central/defensive midfielder at Eibar. Decent pace whose career started at Boca but did not get much of a look in. Gets stuck in and has a good technique in passing and carrying the ball. Has no fear of the opposition and great stamina.

    Not sure who but I reckon we need a decent centre back or even two. We were shambles at set pieces last year and none of our current centre backs can pass to a team mate, the amount of aimless hoofs they make just put us under more pressure.

    Unlikely to happen, but would like to see us try and get Sakho from liverpool. Palace looked a completely different team with him at the back. Think we are more likely to go for Ranocchia though.
     
  22. Chumlax

    At risk of boring on, I'll be really disappointed if we do end up going for Ranocchia. I was against it when we were linked before he went to Hull, and I'm just as much now. He's been calamitous throughout his career, Inter fans couldn't wait to get rid, shipped out on multiple loans, and he would barely even bring the average age down; yes, centre backs have a longer shelf life, but I cannot see how he would be any kind of upgrade.

    There's obviously also the fact that he was fine/alright at Hull, but it's not like he suddenly became a new player, and the perfect evidence of that was his appalling mistake to gift Zaha the opener in the utterly vital 6 pointer aginst Palace that confirmed their relegation.

    If Rannchia is our pres season marquee signing we are in for a very long season.

    Completely agree. Even if he has improved we have enough aging, average center backs. Either buy someone of quality, or buy someone younger who might improve (e.g. Tisserand or Ake).

    Thoughts:

    • Sign Gomes for another year
    • Bring Hoban back into the squad
    • Release Kaboul and Watson
    • Sell Capoue and Behrami for decent fees
    • Bring in a guaranteed starter alongside Prodl
    • Bring in a dominating CM
    • Players worth looking at: Gibbs (Arsenal), Wiltshire (Arsenal), Sakho (Liverpool), Jansen (Spurs), Pickford (Sunderland), Evans (WBA - if Troy goes the other way), Chalobah (Chelsea), Ake (loan deal), and would be daft to not consider JT!

    Have to agree with you on this guy. He is very good. However I see him ending up at a team like Atletico Madrid this summer, but would love him here. Another guy who will be a name on everyone's lips in the future is Gonzalo Maroni at Boca. 18 year old who is technically far beyond his years. Would love him in our youth/u23 squad for this season.

    Little highlight reel of his debut for Boca

    Sakho is a great shout, although I think we need 2 more CB to go with Kaboul and Prodil.

    I can see Watson staying as he suits the pressing and holding role that Silva likes, so does Capoue to a point.

    If Arsenal are having a clear out then Giroud would be fantastic. He has made it known that he doesn't want to be a squad player.

    I think there will be a few of the top 6 squad players moving about over the summer, Danny Ings ( no idea if his fit now or not ) Jay Rodriguez, Jones, Young, Shaw ( surely Jose would like to help a mate out for a season ) Voom, Jannsen.

    I can see quite a few filtering down to the teams below the top 6 to keep a premiership place

    Please God, no. Would be the worst signing since Kerry Dixon.

    I have seen a few Sporting players mentioned on the forum recently and I thought I would join in how about Joel Campbell on loan from Arsenal.

    Two Lucases - Leiva and Perez.

    We don't know whether there was a good reason for Watson to be left out or whether it was just Wally, but if the latter I hope he stays.

    We really need a top defensive midfielder though

    Doucoure and Allan playing defensive mid next season and Watson as back up would be decent.

    I'd be very happy with Perez, but I really doubt he'd want to come, and from the way he's performed in his meagre opportunities at Arsenal, there are probably bigger teams happy to take him. I wouldn't be such a fan of Leiva, think he'd probably want too much cash given his age, and we aren't at the stage of desperately needing leadership and league experience anymore, we're going into our 3rd season.

    Since we generally go for top-end Serie A players that aren't playing every week, ones we've been linked to before and/or have Udinese connections...

    I'd be genuinely surprised if we don't sign at least one of these guys:

    Mario Lemina (heavily linked last summer)
    Piotr Zielinski (ex-Udi, not enough games played)
    Allan (ex-Udi, linked)
    Vlad Chiriches (not enough games, Prem exp)
    Kojo Asamoah (ex-Udi, not enough games)
    Jordan Lukaku (linked, barely played)
    Juan Jesus (linked, was on loan at Roma, don't know if he will sign perm with them)
    Thomas Vermaelen (linked for some reason, but never fit)
    Matias Fernandez (linked in Jan as Pereyra backup but got Zarate)
    Davide Santon (linked last summer, ex-Prem)
    Andrea Ranocchia (ex-Silva, also linked before)

    Show the ambition in the project and go get a new goalie under 30. A new right back. Ball playing centre back. Proper holding midfielder and a fast striker.

    Ship out pants, kaboul, dje dje, oulare, deeney, amrabat and jaanmatt.

    4-2-3-1 wont be a formation for holebas either so move on the walking volcano.

    Success loan out maybe. Berghuis back in.

    Exciting pre seasin ahead either way.

    Least want a "substantial amount" for Mahrez. We want a huge amount for Deeney.

    Swap deal....
