Why do we need to upgrade left back? More than happy with Shaw and Williams thanks.
Would agree with most of that mate, other than I think we need a DM as well. Provided Pogba stays, I don't put that ahead of AM in terms of urgency.
Agree fully with your thoughts on the centreback situation at the club, but I think Tuanzebe is beginning to look like another player who is going to struggle to stay fit. I thought a few years ago that by this stage he would be well established but injuries seem to be seriously holding him back. I hope he can stay fit for a long spell in the coming season. I'd be looking to ship out Jones, Rojo, Fosu-Mensah asap and then Smalling. If Bailly can't stay fit next season, he should get the chop in summer 2021. We need to be ruthless with players who spend the majority of the time on physio table. Harsh but needs to be done.
Hope you noticed I put the following year, like I put with the centre back position. It may not be the case. The two could continue to put in performances whereby we don't need to upgrade. Similarly, the same could be said about Lindelof and Bailly, too. Guess time will tell. I'd be more than happy with as well, though.
I like the plan but only see a move for an attacking midfielder if Pogba leaves. How do you think we would do next season if we only bring in Ighalo & Sancho.
Think its already been mentioned in here that Ornstein doesn't seem to have a clue. Just stating the obvious.
I don't think it's obvious that Champions League is not a necessary requirement for Sancho. Most people would be forgiven for thinking otherwise.
In previous tweet
I was reflecting the views of some contacts - not stating it as fact or expressing an opinion.
What a cop out. Looks like he lost contacts when he left BBC
Laurie Whitwell mentioned that Utd are still in for Grealish when Ornstein stated that we ain’t
He mentioned that it's his 'preference'. Groundbreaking.
Yeah it's weird that Whitwell is backing Ornstein up in that tweet yet they have different views on Utd interest in Grealish
Different sources.
What is your gut feeling on both the Grealish & Sancho situations
But added a host of other factors which implies Champions League straight away isn't as major a driver as many would have thought. Ornstein is a strong journalist, odd that you are suggesting otherwise.
No idea.
This hasn't exactly been a secret. Never said he wasn't a strong journalist but the fact he's contradicting himself to what he was saying only a month ago suggests that he hasn't much more of a clue over Sancho than the rest of the Journalists.
fair enough, not sure what he said a months ago but il take your word for it if its contradicting
I do think they say things like that to generate clicks/views, who knows that's even going to happen with the transfer window.
I personally cant see him going to Arsenal.
They aren't a big club anymore, he can do so much better
Be a shame if we let Partey go to a rival, especially if he goes for a decent price.
Haha glad I am not the only one that has seen the similarlity between the two of them
It would be a shame for him. I have no belief in them doing anything relevant over the next few years. It's a downward move for him. Would be different if they had the finances to actually do something to fix their shite side, but they don't, so they won´t.
If this is some underpriced deal, surely more competitive teams will go for him.
Partey going there seems like a truly baffling choice.
But ..but..they have a lot of fans in Ghana...it makes so much sense
Premier League, London, Money and a new experience. You'd think he's moving to Newcastle ffs.
Any player in their prime who's seriously thinking about moving to Arsenal is basically saying they don't fancy the top level.
His tweet today says we aren't a favourite. Whereas in this video he's saying we're the most likely destination?
Maybe proof Simeone may be leaving and/or no one else is in for him

Sometimes its a case of who has more need for him. No doubt we have the need for a CDM but priorities are elsewhere. For Arsenal it might be their no. 1 priority.
As highly as I rate Fred and McTominay, someone like Partey behind Fernandes and Pogba would be amazing. Match anything in the league, and maybe Europe.
Does that mean you feel Pogba will deputise for Bruno if/when injured/rested?
In regards to how we do next season, I think it depends on injuries. This season, we've not had any luck at all. Even worse, those injuries came to key players in our squad (Pogba, Rashford, Martial, McTominay).
Next season, if we can keep our key players fit, then I'd say we'd should comfortably looking at third place.
Think to push on from that and really challenge for the title, then we'd have to improve our squad as a whole. That said, our potential starting XI would definitely be up there with the best in the league, in my opinion, and as I said, if we can have the luxury of playing that XI most weeks like Liverpool have had in the last couple of seasons, then who knows what heights we could hit.
Yeah, no doubt he'd fit in here. But I wasn't really thinking about United. I'd just be surprised if Arsenal would pull it off on the cheap without competition from better teams, with better short-term prospects. He's already at a better club.
Haha, people are a bit crazy on here. Arsenal, despite not being the team they used to be (just like United) are still a massive club.
Signing a player like Partey, along with an attacking midfielder, would definitely be in the right direction.
Christ. Newcastle gonna be throwing money around like crazy. Will be like early City where Robinho signed there and cried
But he already has:
La Liga, Madrid, Money, Champions League, a chance at silverware.
If he were to trade those in for something else then Arsenal would be a step backwards in my opinion. It's definitely something different, but not better.
