Lingards only 29, he has got a couple of good years left in him but I feel like that ship has sailed, he'd be free sure but he would then be on massive wages just as hes about to decline. I meant Nketiah as well as a first choice striker. He's got a goal every 3 games this season and he's only 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Nketiah gets a run of games to the end of the season (which he might after the other night) and scores a few goals, we might well try and get him.

ewerk 31228 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 He wasn't really given a run in the side, he's come on as a sub quite a bit. I don't think Arsenal are going to want to let him go and if they do he's going to want first team football which is something we couldn't guarantee him. I think their best bet would be to loan him to a lower half PL side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw I’d take Nketiah as back up, he’s a vast improvement on Gayle, and at 22 he’s got plenty time to improve. If we could get him for relatively cheap, along with Tarkowski on a free, those moves strengthen the depth of our squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Nketiah is a free agent at the end this season & I expect quite a few clubs to be interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think Wood has this issue of being really shit. Joking aside I’d genuinely look to sell either Wood or Wilson, if we could get say 15m+ for Wilson and replace him with Nketiah (of course in this scenario we’d be buying a Nunez or whoever to be the starter), I think that would be a good move. As much as I like Wilson he can’t seem to sustain a run in the side, and although there’s an argument that less playing time might help my worry would be an injury prone back up can be an unreliable back up.

David Kelly 1260 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Not convinced Nketiah is better than Wilson like. Yes Wilson is problematic on the fitness front but he’s a quality player other than that. If we’re replacing Wilson I want it to be with better not just fitter.

Howay 12496 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Not meaning he is, I just don’t see 30 year old and injury prone Wilson as very good back up which is what he’d be if we spent a load on a new striker, and out of him and Wood he’d be more sellable. Getting in an extra £15m or so to spend and getting a decent 22 year old in on a free would be an adequate swap imo, if we are talking back up roles anyway.

RobinRobin 11604 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Given that Nketia is grumbling about not playing I doubt he will be happy to come to us as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Chris Wood’s job next season will be to get us through games in the early rounds of the cups and coming on for 15 minutes for a different dimension up front, I reckon. I’d say he’s good enough for that, at least, bless him. Also, Howe has said that we’re not going to see massive upheaval and transition too quickly so I reckon your crop for next year is the new lad, Wilson and Wood, along with another winger who they’ll expect goals from. Throw in a potential youth prospect (Munoz ) and I think that’s canny tbh. Providing they get the main signing right, like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Also, interesting to hear that they’re potentially interested in a few free transfers. When you see some of the players who will be kicking about on a free, you can see why. Can bolster a few positions with some good players. Ginter, Kamara, Denayer and Eriksen jump out straight away as a few that would improve us massively at no cost Edited April 23, 2022 by Ayatollah Hermione Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33916 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I really hope we get our youth set up as strong as we can as apart from it being a no brainer financially it would be funny as fuck if we drew the mackems again in the Papa John's Sherpa van full members trophy and our U 23 team beat their first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect them to bring in a load of youth players and fuck off the majority of the current shite in the summer tbh. And then let Ashworth cut the crust off the whole shit sandwich when he arrives.
