2025/26 Season

[Charly]

Apparently we have to sell before we buy?

Good job we can get a good fee for Salah Konate and Robbo.

Macca will fetch a great price on current form.

Endo and Gomez.

Alisson

I think the team might be a bit ****ed.

The only players we have who holds value would be Dom, and maybe Grav.

Everyone else aint gonna fund much imho.

Last summer was a disaster if this is truely the case

[Exiled_red]

So, next season will see a much changed line-up probably:

Heading out: Robertson, Salah

Could be leaving: Alisson, Konate, Mac Allister, Jones, Endo, Chiesa, Gomez

Players who are probably here next season:

GK:
Mamardashvili

Defense:
Frimpong
Virgil
Kerkez
Leoni - Coming back from serious injury
Jaqcuet- Coming back from serious injury
Bradley- Coming back from serious injury

Midfield:
Szoboszlai
Gravenberch
Nyoni

Forwards:
Wirtz
Isak
Ekitike - Seriously injured
Rio
Gakpo


Jesus.

For me we need a 6 and two wingers, I don't see both MacAllister and Jones leaving but I think one will.

In terms of a side going forward we went big on Wirtz and Isak last year, have signed Gravenberch to a long term contract and are looking at getting Konate signed up I think that is going to be the spine of the team going forward. 2 wingers give us a complete forward line, with Wirtz behind and then two solid midfielders, in Gravenberch and a proper #6. Backline starts as Konate znd VVD but with Leoni or Jacquet being brought through, Kerkez at LB and Frimpong/Bradley at RB. Allison will stick around another year

[DerKrampus]

We desperately need to sign defenders so we can permanently move Szob back into midfield. His energy is sorely missed.

Yeah, I'd agree with that, stop horsing around with Dom and buy a right back, a top number 6 and two wingers, I'd be ok with keeping Kostas another year as back up if we don't have the funds. We'll probably keep relying on Bradley and Frimpong though.

If Alisson goes we might need a backup keeper too and give Mama a year to prove himself.

For me, top priority is number 6 though, we've needed a proper defensive midfielder since Fabinho left.

Gravenberch was epic last year, absolutely perfect as a progressive defensive midfielder

That he doesn't play like he did last season this, is surely down to instructions

[kingfunk]

Is that Slots fault, or the fitness coaches? Who incidentally were the first people he thanked when we won the league last season.

[SB]

We only need a maximum of 9 points now to guarantee 5th spot & CL football next season assuming Chelsea win their remaining 5 matches & not taking GD into account.

[Corndog]

I forgot it’s 5 English teams now who get CL.

It’s crazy LFC are looking like they will make it after this season.

Luck in Un-luck as Germans might say

[DerKrampus]

There's a chance we make top 3 as we still have to play Man Utd and Aston Villa, with the latter also facing Man City.

With Brighton beating Chelsea just now they are up to 6th place so it’s a maximum of 8 points needed to assure CL football next season.

[Charly]

If we lose to Palace, the Manu and chelsea games are going to be horrible.

I think if we win that we will be fine, imho.

Yeah the sooner we get those 8 points the better.

[Buzzo]

Joint third…

12 points off the top. And we have been ****e all season.

Bizarre.

The standard of the league is ****ing terrible in comparison to previous years.

[Buzzo]

The standard of the league is ****ing terrible in comparison to previous years.

Us, City and Utd have all been very, very poor at times this season. How Arsenal haven’t walked the league is a complete mystery.

Because there was so much chat about the Arsenal quadruple I’d not realised City are low key in for a domestic treble.
