I'd really, really like Edouard in.

King would be an ok signing who would do a job for us. Eduoard at the age of 22 if he hits the ground running has got bags of potential.

Eduoard and Watkins up front as a 2.
Eduoard in the middle, flanked by Grealish and Watkins.
Eduoard in the middle, flanked by Rashica or Benrahma plus Watkins with Grealish in behind them.
Watkins in the middle with Eduaord to come on when defenders are tired.

That would give so many good options.

That's pure filth!

Rashica, Eduoard, Watkins as a front three.

Super John McGinn, Super Jack Grealish as a pair of 8s and Dougie sitting

Looks a bit tasty that.

Defending's for cowards.

Mind you I just have a feeling that we might see something like Doug and Grenier (?) playing deeper, a roving attacking three of Jack, McGinn and Watkins with Edouard or King as the focal point. Which I also like.

Flexibility across the front 3 and players being more fluid is definitely part of Smith's plan. We all saw England the other night and how rigid, straight line play is not only tedious, but also futile.

With all those names, there's definitely room for variation; Grealish 8/10/outwide, Dougie 6/8, Wakins up top/wide.

Lot of pace too.

Don't forget the low-cost but unlikely midfielder we've also been ITK'd about.

Does anyone know how long Martinez has left on his contract at Arsenal ?

Gareth Bale. 20-25 million with Real to pay some of his wages for a proportion of his contract.

In all truth... you heard this fantastic rumour here first. It’s no secret that he’s available at a real cut price fee.

My imaginary source from Twatter has informed me that we have paid the buy-out clause in Messi's contract and he will be signing tomorrow. FACT!

I’m quite excited with this Martínez keeper, he looks quality, is 6ft 5 and only 28.

He is inexperienced, but the fact he is moving to us to actually play when he could stay at Arsenal or join PSG, suggests he is a great character. Tbh his reaction to winning FA cup further supports this.

Also when was the last time we got a player from a top club they genuinely wanted to keep? He has basically turned down a new contract to come to us And the biggest factor was Dean Smith.

What a difference a few days makes eh... 😎

I agree entirely - but low cost and unlikely... seems like a reasonable 2+2 = 4.5?

I only see him as a left-sided attacker, and there is a player ahead of him in that position. I know he's played in other areas, and in European Cup finals for Real Madrid,but I just see him as a left-sided attacker so there's no room for him in my team. Now the Madrid fans will be annoyed with me, and they were already sore due to my choosing Ercall Colts Under 11s ahead of them in 1988.
