I'd like to start by saying I like these discussions because I only ever watch the Premier League and Bundesliga for the most part. It gives me a new insight in seeing the same names pop up from the leagues I'm less familiar with.

Defensively I'd love to see this Kolasanic deal go through. I've been very impressed with him this season. He was very... hit or miss in previous seasons but has become a fearsome defender who is collecting assists. If we could go ahead and sign Goretzka too, he would make a great replacement for Ramsey, who I too would sell.

Speaking of offensively oriented defenders I'd sign Rodriguez should Kolasanic go to another team, or even if we sell Gibbs. He's raw, but damn could we do with a good crosser. Sule would make a great investment to be a competitor with Holding, Chambers and Gabriel to replace Kos.

I'd be sure to be the highest bidder for Tielemens to replace Santi. The kid is the real deal IMO. I'd also sell Wilshere, and see if Tolisso could be a suitable replacement, if not him, maybe Davy Klassen. Sell Coq and replace him with Danilo.

It's hard to address the forward positions. We could certainly do with an upgrade to Theo. Embolo or Fekir would be neat. Sane or Iñaki maybe? Like Tielemens I would be the highest bidder for Mbappe. Pretty much every established top tier striker is so impossible to obtain at this point. While I'd like to swap Giroud we need a forward who poses an aerial threat with more athlesticism. Who that could be I honestly dont know. Laca? Belotti? I'd rather roll the dice on Mbappe when it seems like so many other clubs want to do the same.

As for GK I'm really sold on Pickford. I think he'd make a solid back up should Ospina leave, keep Cech as a mentor and bring Woj home from his holiday in Rome.

Dont get me wrong there's players I'd dream to see come here, as we all would. More than anything I want an overhaul. We're looking mid table this season so let's replace the old and unreliable with promising players with something to prove for club and self. A new identity. Also I have no idea wtf I'm talking about.
