Much as I like the revitalised Watkins I think the main priority should and will be a top striker. I really like the idea of Guendouzi as I feel he can cover both the dm and attacking midfield roles.Another forward thinking player on top of these two would be a bonus.I'm not so fussed about defence. I think Mings has re-established himself as No1 centre back, and rightly so in my opinion, he's fucking brilliant. Carlos and Konsa are hopefully good enough for the other side. I've felt for a while we could possibly upgrade Cash, but he's playing well and fits well into the role of our more defensive fullback. So I'd concentrate my money on top quality in the other positions.Hopefully it will be an exciting summer.

Have heard some bad press about Guendouzi attitude wise, possibly based on his Arsenal days, but doesn’t fill me with confidence, especially if we are to pay £40m for him.. Can see us going for someone else

Rumour:Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.Chelsea could be set to tear up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract after his recent trip to Barcelona, it has been claimed.Question:Having previously played effectively under Emery and enjoying good goalscoring form, would it be worth the relative risk of signing the 33 yeard old from Chelsea.In your opinion, would that be a good or risky move?

Please use a little bit of judgement when posting rumours. Most are utter bollocks. Remember that. So treat most of it with a pinch of salt. But some will be so wild and reckless that they are not worth even suggesting. Like this one. Think about who the manager is, where we are as a club and what we are looking to achieve with players coming in. Not only is Aubameyang a past it, complete wanker who’s been binned from his last three clubs, he’s on stupid money. We’re not remotely shopping for players like that.
