Be interesting if Poch wants to keep Conor and how that plays into discussions. I can’t imagine that he will agree to sell him. 

Poch has been playing political game since day one with Connor. Gave him the captaincy, nailed down starter

Also need a better GK if one becomes available, could always put it off to next season if not. 

Woudl you take Ramsdale... he's availble and I thought was excellent last season

Got to say he is better than what we currently have, even though he is prone to the odd howler (what keeper isn't?).

I would take him as No 1 with Petrovic as No 2.

 

Id stick with Petrovic over Ramsdale, I think his positioning is awful on top of his eratic decision making

No thanks, I would rather bet on Petrovic developing into a better GK than Ramsdale which shouldn't be too difficult.

I'd rather sign Mr. Grimsdale than Mr. Ramsdale.

Don't think anyone under 40 is going to get this reference mate 😁.

Nope. Minor upgrade is never a good idea. 

 

Ramsdale was a pretty good shot stopper last season, but the fact Arsenal got another GK and ended up conceded fewer goals does say something. Arsenal won't go easy on us as far as fee goes, he's probably a better shot stopper than what we got, passing maybe a different story. Will we be able to attract a world class GK even if we want to pay, doubt it. It's a hard yes, if we manage to offload 1 if not 2 GKs.

I think Petrovic+Sanchez is good enough for next season. Not a perfect pair but we are not going for the title so I think we can give this duo a chance to develop and gain experience.

In terms of D's I think Silva's departure gives Fofana and Colwill chance to step in. Maybe we can look into market for another D....If we need to sell a D maybe the best deal is Chalobah. 

Midfield is very weak in numbers. Casadei and Santos are not there yet. Ugohuckwu is much closer. Lavia is basically a new signing. Chukwuemeka is a bit higher up the pitch. Maybe another midfield from the market...

Sell Sterling and maybe bring in Angelo or look for the market. Sell Broja, look for a top striker. 

I'd think we need sell Chalobah, Broja and probably some of the loanees spearheaded by Lukaku. 

I hope we develop the core of the side next season: Petrovic, Gusto, Fofana?, Colwill, Badiashile, Chilly, Enzo, Caicedo, Gallagher, Palmer, Jackson, Nkunku. 

James is such a liability in every sense of the word. Mostly because of his fragile body. I put zero emphasis on his appearances.

Id much rather we looked at Pickford personally.

As I’m too lazy to google - how has Brentford fared on set pieces this season?

Not sure, just that he’s a very innovative coach and among the best in Europe. 
 

Signing of the season for me.

Oh, right. In that case de Zerbi to Bayern does make a lot of sense

RDZ it is then, as some of us have expected for quite some time.
