2024 January transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

Two different "stories" about Luiz to Arsenal on the BBC gossip tonight. One says they'd have to bid £60mil for us to even consider it. The other says we've slapped a price tag of £110mil on him 😄

Wolves being linked with Acuña too. Wonder if we've moved on there, and to who? Or are we just keeping Digne now?

[Matt C]

Is Acuna right or left sided? I think he picked up an injury just after we got linked with him.

[eamonn]

Hope we're not after him. He's not nicknamed "El Huevo" - "The Egg" for nothing. And we already have a few Humpty Numptys in the squad (Barkley, Trez, Samatta) - oh shit, its not 2021 anymore and we're actually one of the best teams in the world! How the fcuk did that happen?!!

He’s a left back.

Is Nico Williams going to transform us from a very good top 6/7 team to CL certainties? Much like Gary Penrice transformed BFR's team?

It's rarefied air and I don't think he deserves it.

Emerynseems to like him. 43M sounds cheap for a young international midfielder. Well it sounds cheap in this day and age

Would be pretty bizarre for us to sign a left back this winter

I think if we did it would mean moving Digne on, which was the plan in the summer. I think we'd be mad to do that now. Especially to bring in a 32 year old.

We really need a right back.

[Dave P]

Seeing that Tavernier for Bournemouth the weekend made me think he'd be good for us but it would be a very MO'N or Gregory thing to do, especially as he'd cost about £30m

And then stick him on the bench and play a CB or CM in that position.

[Hookeysmith]

Could he be conveerted to a RB like Cash was or do we go for a specialist in that position - i think we need an upgrdae on Cash so clearly we need a recognised player in there

I imagine we'd probably just buy a right-back, rather than spending £30m on Bournemouth's attacking midfielder to go there.

His brother plays right-back for Rangers though. Maybe get him instead.

[OCD]

Emery doesn't mess about. Whoever we get will be a first team player and make Cash a back-up option.

Probably the same will happen when he replaces Dendoncker.

maybe Emery has a penchant for them
