Villa87 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Very worried now about the state of the squad - Watkins and Bailey only players to play up top. Coutinho potentially going. Surely we have at least one player lined up for tomorrow?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steero113 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Not a chance in hell Coutinho leaves unless someone is literally signing paperwork right this second. John McGinn would be our attacking options off the bench for god's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I think that Unai really does rate and want Guendouzi and he is our number one target. I reckon the stumbling block would be the fee as Marseille are doing so well right now they're surely not going to let him go cheap, especially given the fact it is us and we took Kamara for nothing. I think Marseille are probably playing hardball with us and want a sizeable amount for than we are probably wanting to pay. Don't Arsenal also get a percentage of the fee? I guess if he really wants Guendouzi, Unai us going to have to do some serious arm-twisting in the accounts department. With regards to other signings; I think we really do want a new number 9 but, I think we will wait until the summer and break our transfer record.

Marseille have said we haven’t even contacted them yet. Pretty hard to play hardball given that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 30, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2023 With Coutinho we've got: AM - Buendia, Ramsey, Coutinho, McGinn FW - Watkins, Bailey, Duran, K Young It's a little thin in terms of the experience of those strikers and there are a couple that we'd I'm sure like to upgrade - it's not quite paper thin though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno but he doesn't strike me as the kind of manager who wants to get numbers in just for the sake of it. Each signing has to have a purpose, once you get down to 3rd or 4th choice is it really worth it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 We could have 10 players left and I'd still fancy Emery to get results. Delighted we are getting rid of the shite in our team. Other than Ings they've barely contributed, and we roughly play a game a week. Bring it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Duran and K Young are teenagers who haven’t even played 1 minute with the first team? In reality we have 2 available forwards. Most PL clubs have between 5 and 7 I think.
