Who to replace Ramsdale and who can challenge the Gabriel-Saliba duo at CB?

Fan-favourite Ramsdale will leave AFC this summer, not having done much wrong and feeling he has not been treated fairly…With Raya set to join us permanently, who could become our back-up GK? Do we need a promising GK or a seasoned GK? In any case, we need one that can ably deputize in case Raya gets hurt…Areola? Lunin? PiG? Bulka? Flekken? Sels? Navas?

Gabriel-Saliba are an excellent CB duo, probably the best we had in over a decade…For some reason, Arteta likes Kiwior but Kiwior has not really given us much certainty in terms of strength, pace and even positioning. We definitely need another CB, one that can really challenge Saliba-Gabriel. I like Branthwaithe, Singo, Fofana (if he gets fit again), Van den Berg, even Tarkowski. Unfortunately, Scalvini got injured so he is not an option at the moment…

So who do you think should join us in these positions?

    It is sad if Ramsdale leaves as he is a class keeper. We have Okwonko out on loan with Wrexham and he has been fantastic but can he step up to the EPL? We don’t need to tweak the rest of the team at the moment and as Wenger always said, we’ need to bring in better options, not ones that are the same as we already have.

    De Ligt, Goretzka, Kimmich, Coman and Gnabry from Bayern could be sold at the right price…May be worth looking at these players to boost our squad

    • Sesko to stay with Leipzig, apparently…

    hi rc78 how on earth did rabiot pass

    It beats me…and how usually clinical Griezmann has squandered 2 good chances also beats me…I was pleased with some players though, especially Maignan, Kante, Rabiot

    yea kante looked back to his best

    a bit concerning dey haven’t score a goal as yet

    I am still not sure how Deschamps expects to win matches…IMHO, we need to change our set up:

    Maignan – Pavard (or Kounde), Saliba, Upamecano – Clauss, Kante, Rabiot, Hernandez – Griezmann – Thuram (or Giroud), Mbappe

    We need more presence in the box while still keeping our defensive solidity. As the game progresses, you can replace Clauss or Pavard to suit your game needs…

    Dembele, Coman and Barcola are not goal threats. They are good at creating chances but if there is no one in the middle to put them away…Mbappe still likes to come off the left so we need to have either Thuram, Giroud or Kolo Muani as a real CF…

    clauss for kounde

    don’t think dembele should start such a waste when in possession

    haven’t even scored from open goal thus fsr
