I don't think we want to disrupt the unity and togetherness which we will have built this season by bringing in half a dozen new guys. I think we have strength in depth right now, but are probably lacking a world class striker and CB, so i'd just look to spend big on one world class player for each of those positions, if possible.

Making a mental note to myself to bump this topic at the end of the season - and see if opinions of priorities in terms of positions that need reinforcing will shift or not. Will be interesting!

Sancho, Koulibaly, Chilwell and a striker.

Shall I start a Neymar thread......

Won't we? Arsenal are in their 3rd season as a Europa team and have signed the hottest property in the market save for the Dutch duo from Ajax.

We won't be able to sign the absolute superstar players, but that's always been the case anyway.

Joao Felix?

Meh...Is that all? ?

 

By the time the ban is over, Sancho will cost 300m and Chilwell 100 (if he doesn't already.

 

:p

An attacking player: Mario Götze/James Rodriguez/Zaha : max100m 

A winger: Hirving Lozano/David Neres : max100m

Right back: Thomas Meunier : max50m

One or two centre backs: Jose Giménez/Daniele Rugani/Nikola Milenkovic/Alessio Romagnoli : max200m

Only half a Billion to spend,Why not a Billion just to make it more interesting? I'd buy Icardi if he's still at Inter, we need a bad ass M*Fer who knows how to score goals and rile up the opposition. Why not Dybala too? If nothing else, just to annoy United and Spurs.

If Rudiger can fill Luiz's boots at LCB then we'll need a top class RCB - Jonathan Tah for me.

CF - if Joelinton has a good season at Newcastle I'd hope we break the bank to sign him.

Difficult to say who else, Chilwell is a decent player but he's an attacking LB in the same mould as Emerson. If Alonso leaves as was rumoured I think we'll need a more defensive minded LB, maybe Azpi could cover LB if Reece James fulfils his potential.

Midfield we're stacked, maybe short of cover for Jorginho.

Still think we're short of top class quality at LW - for me Memphis Depay is one of a few players that could potentially fill Hazard's boots.

                              Kepa
             Azpi - Tah - Rudiger - Emerson
                Kante - Jorginho - Kovacic
                 CHO - Joelinton - Depay

I'd like us to get Depay but put him up top as a striker.
