Im thinking
Mosquera and chiquinho come back from loan.
Sell neto for nketiah +30 million pounds
Buy
Ramon sosa 15 million pounds
Rodrigo gomes 12.5 million pounds
Che adams free transfer,
That way neto alone funded 4 transfers
The we sell sa and replace with jørgensen from villareal or alvaro valles from las palmas, and also buy a young backup keeper,
Sell kilman for 35 million pounds and replace with
Jack clarke salter 5 million pounds
De winter 15 million pounds
And then sign vitor hugo from flamengo for 15 million pounds.
Total is
Out:
Neto sold for 30 million + nketiah
Sa sold for 20 million
Kilman sold for 35 million
Sell bentley for 5 million
In
ST: Nketiah in swap deal
LW/RW: Ramon sosa £15 million
RB/RW Rodrigo gomes £12.5 million
backup ST: Che adams free
CB: De winter £15 million
CB: clarke salter £5 million
Cdm/cm/cam vitor hugo £15 million
GK: Jørgensen £15 million
Backup GK: Jacob Zetterström 3-5 million pounds
90 million sold
85 million spent
this would be my ideal window.
Our depth issues would be solved and our attack and defence would be fixed.
I forgot about some of the loan players like
cundle £3 million
Fabio silva, £10 million + add-ons and sell-on-clause
Goncalo guedes £10 million + add-ons
With that money we could possibly buy jonathan rowe from norwich.

I don't understand why we have to go through humongous, unnecessary risks when we're so close to something big. When Man City need wingers, they go and get whoever is in red-hot form, looks promising, and is overall risk-free on paper. Doku, Mahrez, Sane, Sterling come to mind. We can even look at transfers who didn't work out well (it's football, you're not gonna always get it right) but the plan behind it was solid and that matters a ton. When was the last time Man City took a huge risk like we did with Havertz and maybe with Rashford soon?
Rashford just had a season like Martinelli's, exact same numbers, only he played 400 more mins than our boy. Turns 27 in Oct. His wages aren't big, they're insane, you'd struggle to find sources saying it's less than 300k pw, we're looking at 300k-375k pw. So probably min 250k pw (that's if you assume he lowers his wages which is already reaching) for him here on top of the probably min 60 mil transfer fee. He signed a new deal last year, don't even think for a sec that we can pull of a bargain deal, Arsenal don't know how to do that. And all of that for a guy who has been inconsistent his whole career?!

White is competent in Saliba's role, and we have Timber and Tomiyasu that can play RB in the event White is filling in for Saliba.
Our defence is stacked - just needs to be rotated more. Gabriel, Saliba, White, Tomi, Timber, Zini, Kiwior.
Tomiyasu and Timber were virtually unavailable for the season. We have other areas to strengthen first

The number of Spurs fans who clearly haven’t read this whole thing and are using it to give credit to Ange is hilarious. He is not admitting he’s “wrong” and he doesn’t now “understand Spurs fans” lol, he’s simply admitting that he misread the situation and was wrong for thinking Spurs fans wouldn’t actively want them to lose. He still clearly disagrees with what the fans in the ground did “worst experience as a manager”.
Come on guys, you got what you wanted and fair play Arsenal aren’t winning shit but let’s not be spreading around a misleading one and a half sentence quote to make yourselves feel better about your manager digging you out.

There is a chance Bruno could leave, but imo it won't happen unless someone trigger the 100mil clause. I can't see Bruno leaving for 80mil unless he's trying to force a move, but he's not that kind of character and he genuinely loves the club. So for this summer; 100mil or he's staying for sure.
As for who's more likely to leave this summer between Isak/Bruno then it's very simple for me. Isak have no release clause and he joined this project 18 months after Bruno.G. Isak is also 2 years younger and might not be in hurry to join a UCL team because Newcastle might be title contenders in two years time when he's 26y. Arsenal,PSG; City& Barca fans are all talking about these two players, I'm not surprised because it's two unique players. One important factor in all of this is where Newcastle finish in the table. A season in Europa league will likely be enough to convince them to stay, but no Europe next season and then I think club will have to convince the duo to stay for another season at least
Team - Arsenal
This is Nellis worst season. Let’s not forget all the times he has cooked right backs in the league before this season. Trent is literally owned by Martinelli for example.
Team - Arsenal
Did you watch the same game? He dictated the entire game for PSG. They don’t create nearly enough chances as they do without him. Best player on the pitch for them yesterday.
Putting him next to Rice at the 8 spot immediately improves us.
Team - Arsenal
Wolves not in amazing form. Fulham not in amazing form. West Ham out of form. Tottenham effectively have given up in the race for top 4.
I hate to be a pessimist but I think the title race is over. I can’t see City dropping any points at all.
On top of that, we’ve still got to beat an in-form Bournemouth, a United team where nobody knows what version of them will show up against us and an Everton team with superpowers because of Dyche’s new tracksuit.

This Martinelli head down thing is purely an aesthetic criticism. He doesn’t lack vision, he’s not a one trick pony, he constantly cuts inside to lay balls off and always knows where his man is. If your entire criticism is just “I wish Martinelli looked like Gordon when he dribbled,” it’s incredibly stupid.
They’re very, very different players and Martinelli is easily the better finisher. Like I said, this is extremely reactionary. But I see you won’t change your mind so whatever.
Team - Newcastle United
I don't think anyone here will say yes. Market for #6 & #8 is heavily inflated. Guys like Onana gets a £70m price tag. Lavia £50mil, Caicedo £115m, Enzo £110m, Ugarte £60m, even a average one like Gallagher with a expiring contract would cost £50m.
My point is, why sell our best player when we couldn't replace him with a quality midfielder who'd cost under £60m. I'm hoping that nobody triggers that release clause. Bruno is a unique player who's top In all phases of the play, he's arguably the most complete player itw right now but we aren't able to see it because he's our No.6. £100m in this market won't help us bring in the quality to replace someone like Bruno, it'll only help us balance the books

got news that my grandma passed this morning
part of me is relieved for her since all I’ve been hearing is how much pain she was in for a good couple months
hospital was even being negligent and letting her sit in A&E for 9 hours - national healthcare in Poland sucks evidently, they ended up getting her in private healthcare.
funnily enough I still don’t know her cause of death, nor does my mother who’s flown there and back endlessly. either that or she’s being purposefully vague.
I’m worried for her too. she’s lost both her parents in the space of 2 years.
I feel like I have the responsibility to look out for her now, as soon as I reached adulthood. but I’ll manage, it’s the least I could do.
felt like I couldn’t vent any of this to anyone else so may as well do it here, though even now I’m putting my own feelings to the side

Player - João Neves
Coming from a Benfica fan. In physical capacity, he is very similar to Kanté. Like the frenchman he's a small octopus that can be everywhere on the field and is able to run back and forth the entire game. He is short but is able to win most of the physical duels he has with other players. He has an abnormal ability to jump and duel in the air. He can jump higher than players much taller than him. When he started playing, opponents tried to put balls in the air to his zone because they thought their players were going to win the duels and João Neves almost always won.
On the ball, what I highlight most about him is his ability to hold it. It's really difficult to take the ball away from him because he has a very good balance and uses his body a lot to hide the ball from the opponents. There are several times when it looks like he's going to lose the ball, but he puts his body in front of the opponent's foot and hides the ball. It seems that he can bury his feet in the ground and there is nothing that will throw him off balance.
He's very good at carrying the ball. He can get past several opponents and travel several meters with it.
One thing he's also good at but still has to gain more confidence to do it more often is his long passing ability. Every time he tries, he makes incredible passes (Go see his pass in Benfica's third goal against Salzburg in this season's UCL). Once he gains that confidence, he'll become a pretty complete player. He also needs to gain the confidence to shoot more often. I think he only has 4 goals for Benfica since he made his debut. But he has a decent shooting ability. If he gains more confidence to shoot, because he has opportunities to do so, he can also become a player who scores close to 10 goals per season.
Despite him being young he is really consistent. I can't remember a game this season in which he played badly. There were games where he was less good, but I don't remember a game where he was bad.
One thing that proves that he is a really good player is the fact that he is practically unanimous among Benfica's rivals. Neither João Félix nor Enzo had the respect of the rivals that Neves has. All the fans of the rivals say that they would love to have him in their team and some even say that he should be a starter for Portugal in the Euro.
That's the best analysis I can make to the player. For me, judging by his performances at Benfica, he is the best player the club's academy has produced. Bernardo is, of course, the greatest player Benfica's academy has produced, but João Neves was the best academy product I've ever seen playing exclusively for Benfica's first team.
