Who would you buy? (Part 2)

The Albert
361

And also the league cup, fa cup and selected CL group matches.

362

At this point in the window Iā€™d be tempted to put in a bid for Sesko, mainly just to see the reactions from United, Newcastle and Arsenal fans.

Please no, weā€™d end up getting himā€¦ like Ekitike.

:joy:

Iā€™d be tempted by a move for Antoine Semenyo as an option to fill the void left by the loss of Diaz and Jota. Homegrown as well.

Only snag is heā€™s got 5 years left on his contract having only just extended.

365

Just wondered if people think we have enough options going into the season, assuming we sign Isak and Chiesa departs.

ST: Isak, Ekitike
RW: Salah, Frimpong (cover)
LW: Gakpo, Rio

Do we believe Rio is ready now? Do we think Bradley and Frimpong can manage via Salahā€™s absence for an extended period of time? Also havenā€™t factored in Doak, as Iā€™m assuming heā€™ll leave as well. And I know Wirtz can cover the left too, but I think we presented the idea to him that heā€™ll be our No.10 consistently, so he can develop in that role, and he may be used elsewhere if it was absolutely necessary.

I have a feeling Chiesa will stay for depth and for his versatility. I just donā€™t see how we can sell him if we donā€™t buy another in addition to Isak (if that even gets done).

I wouldnt rule out Chiesa staying at this stage. Dom is also an option and the choice od formation probably wont he fixed for the whole season so we could see an asymetric set up or one using fewer forwards when wanted/ needed.

With the window still open and knowing weā€™re still active, i dont see the point in asking this sort of question repeatedly (not you specifically, but the forum as a whole).

I think Iā€™ve figured out who is behind our transfer strategy this window

I would be happy with those options.

Itā€™s probably greedy, but I think we might sign Fofana in addition to Isak.

Strikers:
Isak
Ekitike

Right forwards:
Salah
Fofana

Left Forwards:
Gakpo
Rio

Tons of flexibility, pace, youth/understudy options, and lots of quality within the group.

Fofana as the fifth choice, Rio as the sixth.
