@@StuttGooner surprises are not good in this case, Arsenal is second in the Premier league and if they want to get better they need good obvious talent. Also all the players here are good players, yet affordable for Arsenal.
@@TheJtorres182 doesn't change the fact, there's more great players out there than those on the list there. Doué is the same kind of X factor as Nico Williams, just less hype around him, and in contrast to Williams he has the ability to even play as an 8. He's basically a mix of Williams and Eze and more talented than both. Instead of Eze, one might suggest Olmo who's better in everything except dribbling, although his injury record is horrific. Instead of Merino there are players like Koopmeiners, who had more scorers last season and is also available or Palacios from Leverkusen or Kirian Rodríguez, who was one of the best midfielders in LaLiga last season and is flying completely under the radar or someone young like Millot who had a terrific season at Stuttgart. Instead of Zubimendi there are lots of better options Fofana from Monaco, Ederson from Atalanta, Hjulmand from Sporting or Stiller from Stuttgart who had a outstanding season and is the designated Kroos regen for Germany. That was just lazy journalism.
I think Pedro Neto also ticks a lot of boxes because Williams is probably going to Barcelona. Highly technical, can play both wings, PL proven, he need that big move to top clubs!
@@samserwadda253 If he didnt have a poor record he'd be 80million (maybe more) player. The hope I guess is that he wouldnt need to be played into the ground at Arsenal and with other options we can cover his absence. He is a massive difference matter.
Why even talk about Zubimendi when it's been widely reported that he has absolutely no intention to leave Real Sociedad. He's just as unavailable as de Jong and Bruno G.
With respect, half the Spain squad has been named in this video. The previous format under Alex with lower key stat based picks made for much more interesting videos. Still love JJ
I agree that the old videos were better. These are very well known players and there’s no real discussion of the cost here. Where’s the left field pick? Where’s Laimer?
Just wanted to say I have loved these in the Arteta era of brilliance and lately been going through it pretty rough. Seeing this pop up has made my week im buzzing again for the new season. Just felt compelled to show my appreciation. Hope everyones keeping happy and healthy.
Glad you are back. So Nico Williams is the new Ibrahim Sangare? Instead of Eze maybe Olmo or Xavi Simons? Also some outside the box picks would have been nice. "Lesser known" players.
The video says Arsenal scored 86 goals in the Premier League but that's wrong. Arsenal scored 91 goals. Maybe someone at the Athletic mistakenly read Liverpool's goals scored stat, which is 86??
Arsenal's squad *scored* 86 goals. Arsenal had 91 *Goals For* due to 5 own goals. That's how it's listed on FBref. That's my fault for not clarifying it in the graphic, but JJ did say "scored the second most goals, 86". ofc own goals are usually a result of chances being created, but they aren't scored by the team. which is the question that jj was answering: do they need to bring in a striker to score more chances?
@@donukb I don't know why players don't get an assist for an own goal, especially if you consider the context of some of them. For Spurs I think Johnson and Werner both should have had more assists but they counted as own goals, but both did the typical Postecoglu Spurs goal of low hard cross across the 6 yard box that was turned in by the opposition but a Spurs player would have got there (and probably missed to be fair).
Completely agree. As a Liverpool fan, I wanted Calafiori, Zubimendi and Nico Williams for us and watching this, they make a ton of sense for Arsenal too.
I know some people think Rice ain't a 6 cos he can't pass like Rodri or Busquets, but thats a ridiculous standard to hold a 6 to. Casemiro was never like that at Madrid. Progressed the ball well & thats it. Rice is the same. And guess who they put next to Casemiro? Kroos & Modric. What would have worked at the Euros was Rice at 6 & Wharton next to him. No one at 6 is better at defensive duties than Rice. Even Rodri struggles vs counterattacks. Rice just needs a top passer next to him. If he joined a season earlier, Xhaka & Rice would have been a class combo. Rice's carrying isn't wasted at 6 either. When he's deep & under pressure, it lets him keep the ball vs aggressive opponents & escape to bring his side out of trouble or even start a counterattack.
@@jishafish5691 odegaard's a 10 and plays on the right hand side. Notice his partnership in that triangle with White & Saka. The LHS hasn't had this since Xhaka left, which is why Martinelli struggled & Arsenal aren't as dangerous on that side cos there was no standout LB either. With Calafiori & a passing 8 who can overlap Nelli (to create space so he can move centrally like JJ said he loves to do), Rice's weakness will be masked and Nelli can cook again when he plays LW.
Rice doesn't have the same massive tackle or aggression numbers mover over he tends to move forward and is not a great dribbler means he is in advanced position
Here are some players that I think would make good additions to our squad, purely based on my own amateur analysis: 1). Victor Boniface (ST): He’s the absolute cream of the crop at his age and price for me. 23 years old, £40 m. Lethal finisher, big, strong, fast, and would feast on the set pieces and delivery our midfield can provide. 2). Angelo Stiller (CM): Hugely influential in midfield and a major contributor to Stuttgart’s success. One of the most elite in terms of pass completion, ball progression, and carries into the final third from midfield. Arguably better than Zubimendi 3). Youssouf Fofana: Strong, physical central/defensive midfielder available at a decent price. Can play in a single or double pivot 4). Maximilian Mittelstädt: High flying wingback who also provides great defensive contribution. Great ball recovery rate. Very similar to Andy Robertson’s style and approach. Provides even more depth to our defense, can start in cup competitions, and would allow Calafiori to rotate in midfield and play higher if needed.
I was just thinking to myself yesterday that I could really do with a tifo sensible transfer vid and you guys delivered. With the best club in the world, no less :)
@@BeforeThisNovember pains me to see another Bayern youth product we didn't properly integrate, but Seb Hoeneß managed to turn into a quality first teamer
@@yemaneredda4653martinelli literally had one bad season since he joined arsenal 😂😂😂 and it doesn't help when the Left back position was arsenal weakness thus harder for martinelli to attack. You should give him the benefit of the doubt for this season at the very least since calafiori is coming in
I believe Pedro Neto would be a smart transfer as well. Checks a lot of boxes and would not necessarily break the bank. I am surprised that no other top team has come in for him, but maybe that is because of his injuries from last season. Still, it is a risk worth taking in my view.
Wait, no backup for Saka? So when Saka is out of form like many matches in last season, we should stuck for 90 minutes where the ball stuck at the right side and no option for replacement?
set piece goals ARE from set pieces. if u use the freekick to play it to a winger and the winger crosses in and gets an assist: thats an open play goal.
It's a bit vague but I would say for it to not be a set piece goal you would need at least more than 3 passes to take place. If passing to the winger was the original intention, then it's still a set piece goal
I think someone who can be trusted to play RW is the priority. As you said, Saka is being run into the ground more than any other player. The kid needs a break! Also, great to have you have JJ.
I love this series! And I also think Arsenal will win the league this year. They are progressing so well and Man City isn't really changing these days. Can you do a Newcastle video?
Nico Williams is still raw and wouldn't offer anything different from what Martinelli offers. I think what Arsenal needs is a Wilshere type player in midfield to open up tight spaces and a clinical finisher.
Inverting the left back is sort of the problem. With a proper wing back, Martinelli and maybe Eze can drift inside and form the box while the team could still keep its width
Idk that Zubimendi leaves la Real, so I would probably have to suggest either: -Dream: Kimmich, more likely on right side of double pivot w/ Rice -Realistic: Ruben Neves, Prem proven DM with great passing range & can slot as right of double pivot or lone DM w/ Rice & Martin ahead -Outside Shout: Bennacer of Milan (former Arsenal Academy student), more likely as right side of double pivot to receive and progress play
Excellent Content, Could you do Inter next please??? They have a big goal of going far in the champions league and also competing for serie A, as many teams got stronger, as well as the fact that they don't have much money, posing a (hopefully) interesting challenge for you guys. Keep it up!
Shortlist: Raphinha (Covers Saka, can play both flanks in a pinch) Zaire-Emery (perfect LCM who can comfortably cover Rice if he is caught out) - Available with Joao Neves coming in. Balde (an attacking LB who contrasts Calafiori's profile perfectly) Guehi (Rock solid. Can cover both Gab/Saliba with no drop off) Bench / Alternatives Kudus (cover Saka & Ode with ease) Eze (covers 8, 10, and wing) Merino (Swiss army knife of a midfielder) Sales: Kiwi (Arteta doesn't trust him) Zinny (defensive liability) Tomi (injured all the time) Fabio Vieira (not up to it. Loan him to an AC Milan and sell him next summer. Bring in Eze or Kudus now as a better alternative)
DM: Jerdy Schouten from PSV. Was the best player on the pitch in several games during Euros. Looks like a typical Arsenal player to me. As for wingers, I am guessing they are watching closely what is going on at Real Madrid after they just stocked up in those positions.
I agree with you i think we should go for Eberechi Eze as he has proved to be an elite player in the PL. Too with Mikel merino not seen too much of him but he is a ball carieer and a re known distributer , he reminds me of Granit Xhaka who as a result of his departure we have found ourselves in trouble as we did not replace him
Quite interesting how Arteta, a great Spanish midfielder during his playing times, sees a Spanish midfielder (one of zubimendi, merino or Ruiz?) as the final piece of the midfield puzzle.
Xavi Simons, Tsyhankov, and Swiss Ruben Vargas would also be good fits to help the midfield and attack. The latter should be very affordable. Another Girona player in Dovbyk should have been looked at more seriously as an affordable high potential striker, but it seems that transfer would be too late now.
Would go for Mitoma in LW cheaper and probably better than the guys you mentioned. Sad he got injured last season but was ripping defenfers left and right.
Would love Eze to join, he can play in so many different positions. Would be an excellent signing. Williams is everyone’s dream signing, not sure Barca can afford him, so you never know🤞
i’d say this is pretty spot on, i really want to sign zubimendi and merino for the midfield. calafiori is pretty much guaranteed and then id like us to sign williams or neto. neto obviously has an injury record but on his day he’s up there with the best wingers itl. we need that pace. i could only see us signing eze if esr leaves cos they’re very similar profiles
I'm watching this and screaming ESR. He's got the quality to play at this level (when fit), he can play off the left, he can play through the middle. He can make something happen...plus he's Arsenal through and through. How much would we be bidding for him if he was at another PL club considering all of this, the fact he's English and his age profile....
He's certainly good enough but the injury record... Maybe the gamble is to cash in before he becomes another Wilshere. I'd love him to stay and play often because he's my fave youngster there
@@chrisr1415 I agree, there must be something that the medical & physio team are missing regarding ESR footwear. Maybe he should try wearing Vivo barefoot, when not on the pitch?
I swear sensible transfers used to have better insight than this and would suggest players that most people haven't already thought of. All these names have already been linked with Arsenal. Not exactly ground breaking info.
But they can be sensible and also already linked. I'm not sure about the Eze one, as it goes, because it still leaves you with the problem on the left. Williams might be the one that wins you the league.
I mean, this would be a good window, for sure. But.. Williams is going to Barca, Zubimendi isn’t leaving (and isn’t that good), and absolutely zero chance we buy 3 midfielders let alone 4.. My sensible transfers: FWD - Kudus MID - Stiller DEF - Calafiori
Im thinking Timber, Nwaneri and a comeback for ESR, that covers a lot of "problems". Jesus is also looking sharp so far and can play all positions up front. Saka is the difference maker, I hope he evolves even more and hits 20 goals this season. Martinelli needs to find his way again, he can be terrifying for defences. I want four players up front scoring 15 goals or more, not only one who scores 25.
Leroy Sane as another winger option. Can play both sides. Knows Arteta well, and Jesus, Zinny & Havertz. Had his best season at Bayern last year. Olise just been brought in.
My Sensible Transfers (not using any mentioned above) : 1. Adam Wharton for Zubimendi to pivot with Rice (young english player with a silky touch and helps squad registration). 2. Joao Gomes for Merino as a back up 8 who is more of a attacking threat, better dribbler and better creator so that all the creative load in the midfield doesn't fall on Martin. 3. Ross Barkley as back up for Martin, impact player, experinced PL player finding a late peak, injury prone but had a incredible season with Luton, wouldn't cost a fortune and will probably accept to be a squad player. 4. Pedro Neto as back up for Saka, although he is injury prone it balances out as Saka is almost always fit, Quick, dribbles past players, maverick who can create chances out of nothing sometimes. 5. Mitoma from Brighton to replicate Nico williams transfer as we all have seen what mitoma is capable of, mistly injured last season but another maverick player who impact the game. Honourable Mentions: Ruben Loftus-Cheek having a revival with AC milan, Teun Koopmeiners the Dutch Ruiz, Fullkrug as a striker option, Solly March was having a fantastic season before the injury. Charles De Ketelaere the Belgian Havertz. Gambling pick: Alex Scott of Bournmouth has shown glimpses of genius. Let me know your opinions on the list.
Id have to imagine Wharton would be a £100mill player. Doubt palace would sell for less. They also can't sell all of their players, eze, guehi linked and Bayern already picked olise 😅
@@thehearingaid I don't think Palace would demand as high as a 100 mil but yes it wouldn't be cheap as I think they would ask around 60-75 mil but Teun Koopmeiners can be a good alternative.
Zubimendi has been our top midfield target and it's been known for like a year. Problem is he wont leave sociedad, if it was actually possible im pretty sure it wouldve happened already. Eze at 26yo is not worth the 68m it would cost to sign him.
you are correct and i think arsenal would do more than this but a player arsenal wont sign is nico willams but a good substitute for saka i think who can be a change maker with lots of experience is sane in bayern
I like the eze shout but Crystal Palace will not let Olise and eze leave in the same window, especially the fact Oliver glasner has had a good run with palace since his arrival. I don’t think it’s going to be possible
Chiesa is available for €25m so having him who can play RW or even sometimes ST but predominantly LW, makes sense as Nico Williams doesn’t look realistic. Chiesa and Merino for £50m would be fantastic business!
9:55 Williams would be great... but he's going to Barcelona 100%. Plus Arteta has his beloved Trossard in that position so I can't see him buying anyone on that side. A understudy for Saka for sure though!
I can’t see us signing a forward this transfer window sadly , we really need one but I think Arsenal have identified Sesko as that player and are willing to wait for him after he’s signed a new deal . There is no concrete links to anyone at the moment which concerns me .
I would like to see: Lobotka - similar role to Jorginho Desire Doue - If Nico is not available Conceiçao - so Saka can rest Arsenal also have 2 great young players like Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly which are really good progressing the ball
3 or 4 on the attempted take on list I'd love at the carpet. Williams, kudos or sane would all be great but if he doesn't sign a new contract we need to move heaven and earth to get musiala

So true, came to hear some underrated shouts like pepelu, doue, etc. Not the same Zubimendi and Nico who will most probably not end up there
The whole point is they bring up the obvious pick then give a more 'sensible' option
Everyone has a price

I agree that the old videos were better. These are very well known players and there’s no real discussion of the cost here.
Where’s the left field pick? Where’s Laimer?
Its also because Arsenal's attractiveness and spending capacity have increased, so no issue going for the obvious big names.
Wow, Arsenal should sign all the players they're already interested in, most of whom happened to just win the Euros with Spain. Great analysis.
Exactly what I thought as well

Totally 💯 agree! Calafiori, Merino/Zubi/Ruiz and William's/Eze or maybe Sane. Plus Gyokeres if I’m REALLY greedy 😋
Bringing in Caliafori will help Martinelli get back to form.
Calafiori, Nico, Ruiz would be an insane window for Arsenal. I'd be super happy with Merino too
Shortlist:
Raphinha (Covers Saka, can play both flanks in a pinch)
Zaire-Emery (perfect LCM who can comfortably cover Rice if he is caught out) - Available with Joao Neves coming in.
Balde (an attacking LB who contrasts Calafiori's profile perfectly)
Guehi (Rock solid. Can cover both Gab/Saliba with no drop off)
Bench / Alternatives
Kudus (cover Saka & Ode with ease)
Eze (covers 8, 10, and wing)
Merino (Swiss army knife of a midfielder)
Sales:
Kiwi (Arteta doesn't trust him)
Zinny (defensive liability)
Tomi (injured all the time)
Fabio Vieira (not up to it. Loan him to an AC Milan and sell him next summer. Bring in Eze or Kudus now as a better alternative)
As much as I love these newer sensible transfer vids, I do feel nostalgic for the 2019-2021 Joe Devine-narrated animations.

Arsenal have been linked to every single one of your recommendations. Still love you JJ. But only you.
I like how you understand what Arteta wants from his strikers. I think it's so lazy to say we need an out and out striker. It's not how we play
I agree with you i think we should go for Eberechi Eze as he has proved to be an elite player in the PL. Too with Mikel merino not seen too much of him but he is a ball carieer and a re known distributer , he reminds me of Granit Xhaka who as a result of his departure we have found ourselves in trouble as we did not replace him
Quite interesting how Arteta, a great Spanish midfielder during his playing times, sees a Spanish midfielder (one of zubimendi, merino or Ruiz?) as the final piece of the midfield puzzle.
Xavi Simons, Tsyhankov, and Swiss Ruben Vargas would also be good fits to help the midfield and attack. The latter should be very affordable. Another Girona player in Dovbyk should have been looked at more seriously as an affordable high potential striker, but it seems that transfer would be too late now.
Would go for Mitoma in LW cheaper and probably better than the guys you mentioned. Sad he got injured last season but was ripping defenfers left and right.
Would love Eze to join, he can play in so many different positions. Would be an excellent signing. Williams is everyone’s dream signing, not sure Barca can afford him, so you never know🤞
As an Arsenal fan I think they should gun for Joey Veerman because he’s fantastic at switching the ball and has world class set piece deliveries
i’d say this is pretty spot on, i really want to sign zubimendi and merino for the midfield. calafiori is pretty much guaranteed and then id like us to sign williams or neto. neto obviously has an injury record but on his day he’s up there with the best wingers itl. we need that pace. i could only see us signing eze if esr leaves cos they’re very similar profiles
Finally, sensible transfers content!! 🎉
Very good sir, great targets all round. Any of the fast goal monsters at Palace currently would work, I reckon!🤔
This is one of the all time great kits in prem history and I will not be convinced otherwise.
I'm watching this and screaming ESR. He's got the quality to play at this level (when fit), he can play off the left, he can play through the middle. He can make something happen...plus he's Arsenal through and through. How much would we be bidding for him if he was at another PL club considering all of this, the fact he's English and his age profile....
When Fit is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, and is, of course, the problem...
Yeah, he needs a chance to show whether he's good enough or not. A few 10 minute sub appearances aren't enough.
He's certainly good enough but the injury record... Maybe the gamble is to cash in before he becomes another Wilshere. I'd love him to stay and play often because he's my fave youngster there
ESR is super lazy defensively. I don't think he will fit into Arsenals new play style
@@chrisr1415 I agree, there must be something that the medical & physio team are missing regarding ESR footwear. Maybe he should try wearing Vivo barefoot, when not on the pitch?
All mentioned names are already somehow linked to Arsenal already…Arteta is chef-ing!! 🔥
I swear sensible transfers used to have better insight than this and would suggest players that most people haven't already thought of. All these names have already been linked with Arsenal. Not exactly ground breaking info.
Maybe Arsenal now need the top talent, fishing in a small pool, it's just really obvious exactly who fits the bill and everyone can already see it 😊
Tifo fell off since the Athletic acquired them.
But they can be sensible and also already linked. I'm not sure about the Eze one, as it goes, because it still leaves you with the problem on the left. Williams might be the one that wins you the league.
Glad someone said it
You people will never be happy with anything lol
Dani olmo, can cover on the left and the middle, pretty creative and decisive.
Quality videos. Are u creating these for every pl club?
I love your analysis, it's top quality 👌
I mean, this would be a good window, for sure. But.. Williams is going to Barca, Zubimendi isn’t leaving (and isn’t that good), and absolutely zero chance we buy 3 midfielders let alone 4..
My sensible transfers:
FWD - Kudus
MID - Stiller
DEF - Calafiori
Sensible transfers: bring in any Spain international.
Seriously now: sublime content.
My favourite segment.. COYG!
Im thinking Timber, Nwaneri and a comeback for ESR, that covers a lot of "problems". Jesus is also looking sharp so far and can play all positions up front. Saka is the difference maker, I hope he evolves even more and hits 20 goals this season. Martinelli needs to find his way again, he can be terrifying for defences. I want four players up front scoring 15 goals or more, not only one who scores 25.
Given Zubimendi and Williams look like they're unlikely to come, could you suggest some alternatives in their position that might be available?
Leroy Sane as another winger option. Can play both sides. Knows Arteta well, and Jesus, Zinny & Havertz. Had his best season at Bayern last year. Olise just been brought in.
My Sensible Transfers (not using any mentioned above) :
1. Adam Wharton for Zubimendi to pivot with Rice (young english player with a silky touch and helps squad registration).
2. Joao Gomes for Merino as a back up 8 who is more of a attacking threat, better dribbler and better creator so that all the creative load in the midfield doesn't fall on Martin.
3. Ross Barkley as back up for Martin, impact player, experinced PL player finding a late peak, injury prone but had a incredible season with Luton, wouldn't cost a fortune and will probably accept to be a squad player.
4. Pedro Neto as back up for Saka, although he is injury prone it balances out as Saka is almost always fit, Quick, dribbles past players, maverick who can create chances out of nothing sometimes.
5. Mitoma from Brighton to replicate Nico williams transfer as we all have seen what mitoma is capable of, mistly injured last season but another maverick player who impact the game.
Honourable Mentions:
Ruben Loftus-Cheek having a revival with AC milan, Teun Koopmeiners the Dutch Ruiz, Fullkrug as a striker option, Solly March was having a fantastic season before the injury. Charles De Ketelaere the Belgian Havertz.
Gambling pick: Alex Scott of Bournmouth has shown glimpses of genius.
Let me know your opinions on the list.
Ross Barkley has already signed for Aston Villa
Id have to imagine Wharton would be a £100mill player. Doubt palace would sell for less. They also can't sell all of their players, eze, guehi linked and Bayern already picked olise 😅
@@hasanramzan6578 Yes I just saw that after typing my comment, Brahim Diaz would be a perfect alternative.
@@thehearingaid I don't think Palace would demand as high as a 100 mil but yes it wouldn't be cheap as I think they would ask around 60-75 mil but Teun Koopmeiners can be a good alternative.
JJ Bull killed it in this one. He is so back baby. Can't wait to see what he does when he's at 40% power.
Zubimendi has been our top midfield target and it's been known for like a year. Problem is he wont leave sociedad, if it was actually possible im pretty sure it wouldve happened already. Eze at 26yo is not worth the 68m it would cost to sign him.
Thank you so much. How about adding Swedish Victor Gyokeres?
you are correct and i think arsenal would do more than this but a player arsenal wont sign is nico willams but a good substitute for saka i think who can be a change maker with lots of experience is sane in bayern
Had a feeling you were gonna bring out Eze. I've thought the same thing for the last season or so.
Pedro Neto is a good choice, apart from his injury record. He can play on both wings, v explosive in counterattack
It's BACKKKKK BAAABYYYYYYYYYYY😭😭😭😭🙏🙏THANK YOU
Finally, Sensible Transfers are back.
I like the eze shout but Crystal Palace will not let Olise and eze leave in the same window, especially the fact Oliver glasner has had a good run with palace since his arrival. I don’t think it’s going to be possible
Guys we need an episode about Barça, yes we are poor, but we are still Braça!
JJ you put all Braça casts for Arsenal ;)
I will be happy with Calafiori, Merino, Williams/Eze and Gyokeres.
Hey great insight ! However you left timber completely .. he is like new LB signing
I quite liked these on Tifo
Chiesa is available for €25m so having him who can play RW or even sometimes ST but predominantly LW, makes sense as Nico Williams doesn’t look realistic. Chiesa and Merino for £50m would be fantastic business!
Sensible Transfer for Barcelona next please.
I reckon it’ll be Nico Williams and Zubimendi.
Great video. Thanks! How about Dani Olmo as a difference maker for the Arsenal squad?
9:55 Williams would be great... but he's going to Barcelona 100%. Plus Arteta has his beloved Trossard in that position so I can't see him buying anyone on that side. A understudy for Saka for sure though!
I can’t see us signing a forward this transfer window sadly , we really need one but I think Arsenal have identified Sesko as that player and are willing to wait for him after he’s signed a new deal . There is no concrete links to anyone at the moment which concerns me .
I would like to see:
Lobotka - similar role to Jorginho
Desire Doue - If Nico is not available
Conceiçao - so Saka can rest
Arsenal also have 2 great young players like Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly which are really good progressing the ball
Lobotka is off any transfer moves
@@Vesuvius081 I thought he was a free agent this season mb
best time of the year
They missed one in KDH. He has all the attributes of Wiltshire only with an impeccable injury record and more output.
Merino and Williams would be great. If Arsenal can get Gyokeres too, it would be a perfect window. However, I have no illusions this will all happen.
3 or 4 on the attempted take on list I'd love at the carpet.
Williams, kudos or sane would all be great but if he doesn't sign a new contract we need to move heaven and earth to get musiala
