Your starting XI for next season…Be realistic (don’t bring in Haaland to Arsenal for example…)

From the current XI, the following players for me are “safe” as starters next year:

Ramsdale, Saliba, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli

I think that Arteta also sees Gabriel, Partey and G. Jesus as starters so…and Xhaka if he stayed too but let us go with the flow and assume he is leaving

Ramsdale – RB, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko – Partey, DM/CM – Saka, Ode, Martinelli – G. Jesus

So that leaves 2 spots on the starting XI, one for RB and one for DM/CM.

At RB, White has been very good for us but there are also great RBs on the market and if Xhaka leaves, it will be unthinkable for us to not purchase a DM/CM so who would I like to see join us?

RB: One of these players would be very interesting Cancelo, Frimpong, Coufal, Dumfries, Arnau Martinez

DM/CM: Rice, Caicedo, Zielinski

So here is a realistic starting XI from my side:

Ramsdale – FRIMPONG, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko – Partey, CAICEDO – Saka, Ode, Martinelli – Jesus

    Ramsdale – CANCELO, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko – MILINKOVIC-SAVIC, RICE – Saka, Ode, Martinelli – Jesus (would then rotate Partey with one of Rice / Savic as and when required)

    What you guys think of the saliba contract situation

    What I can’t stand with these situations that we give them the money then in 2 years time dey leave regardless

  8. RC78's avatar RC78 says:

    Saliba will stay at least…2 years…He plays as CB for a competitive EPL team…He wants to be called in the French squad. At CB, there is:
    – Upamecano, Konate
    – Saliba, Kimpembe
    – Kounde, Fofana,
    – Badshiele, Disasi
    – Todibo, Kalulu, Ndicka

    And Pavard, L. Hernandez can also play CB…

    So he has an incentive in staying with us

    According to David Or stein, William Saliba has agreed a new 4 year contract, so now we can all breath out…

    If KSE stump up the funds and Edu works his magic then it’s a straight swap, Caicedo and Rice for Xhaka and Partey, the rest picks itself pretty much.

    On a scale of one to ten, how much do you hate Jack Grealish? Ten being a complete banned word.
