yeah, he'll be 25 in Jan, he cost Forest £42 million, I'm sure they won't sell him for less than £60M, that's a lot of money

Yea 25 is not old. It’s the perfect age. And £60m is pretty reasonable for a player of his quality. I would happily sign him at that price.

I would go for Eze before MGW tbh.

Yea Eze is quality and probably the better player but MGW is more of an athlete and a much better fitness record. Arteta would pick MGW over Eze for that alone

What’s their contract situations?

Nico Williams, a striker, Guimarães.

The rest depends on who wants to leave.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3 years left on both their contracts. Bruno and Isak have 4 years left on their contracts

Damn, all will cost a sweet penny

Rice is growing in that left central mid role now. Partey and Rice give us a perfect balance. I don't think we need Eze or MGW. A more defensive mid like Guimarães is what we need (especially if Partey leaves).

Isak or Guimaraes. You can sign only one of them (obviously).

Which one you takin’?

Guimaraes, simply because he is gettable. He has a release clause. Isak will be almost impossible to get

Isak.

Would you sell Jesus?. He probably needs to go if we want to sign a top striker

I’d be tempted to sell him if a decent offer came in. I still he’d be a great squad option for us next season, but his injury and how he recovers from it is concerning.

Sell him? I'd give him away.

We’ve a long list of players we could do with moving on this summer. Unless someone comes in with a good offer, I don’t think Jesus is high up on the list.

If we do get a striker then he will be 3rd choice. Don't think he will be up for that with 2026 world cup coming. He can fill in wide positions too but not his best roles

Sell Eddie, buy a top striker to compete with Havertz at CF and use Jesus as a back up to Saka.

Odegaard again was sublime yesterday. We're seeing him pick up space in the LCM areas more frequently now, which I've been begging for since the start of the season.

Odegaard, Rice, White, Saliba, Gabriel. Genuinely couldn't pick POTS from these lot. Saka probably unlucky not to make the list

Saka is 100% in the convo for pots.
But I’d go with Rice, from start to now he’s been the most reliable and consistent. Had a blip after March international break and got little exposed in CL but otherwise can’t fault him.
Ode was off form for first half of the season.

Odegaard has been our best player since New Year. But he was off form for much of the 1st half of the season. For sheer consistency, can't look beyond Rice.

23/24 : Odegaard scored 8 goals & 8 assists.
22/23 : Odegaard scored 15 goals & 7 assists.

Arguably, Odegaard has been worse this season!

23/24 : Saka 16 goals & 9 assists
22/23 : Saka 14 goals & 11 assists

Saka has improved year-on-year but because the media have been pushing Foden and Palmer he hardly gets a mention!

Where would we without Saka's goals?

Probably the same place but with Odegaard scoring 8 more from penalties.

There is a reason why Odegaard prefers not to take penalties!

Hates stat padding?
