Summer 2024 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

would you lose JJ to get Olise?

For eze definitely

Olise is better than Eze

[Mister E]

I'd be amazed if we buy a player like Olise.  Firstly, I don't think we'll be in the market to pay PL level transfer fees.  Secondly, With Bailey and Diaby he would hardly seem a priority.
Don't get me wrong if money was no object I'd love him in the squad, I just don't think that's where we'll be looking this summer.
As for Ramsey, his value must be a fraction of his potential at the moment because of a year out with injury.  No club in their right mind would be bidding £50m+ for him this summer so I don't see how a sale would make sense for any party.

Agreed, Chris.

Don’t think he is. Olise is very talented, but I think Eze can basically do anything you’d want a midfielder to do.

This season's stats would suggest Olise offers more: more goals and assists in fewer games.
My comment was more intuitive than data-driven: Eze looks like a very clever footballer; Olise seems more effective to me.

Can't go into next season in Champions League without a few transfers in and some major signings have to come in if want to compete and stay at the level which all the signs the owners and Emery intentions we are.

Be very interesting and big summer ahead..
To play how we play need more players and better players for the next step with respect to current players do need some enhancers.

Isn’t Olise similar to say Bailey whereas Eze is the equivalent of Tilemans and can play a number of positions.

I'd say Eze is closer to Grealish (Villa version).

I'll never forget that performance as a 19 year old at QPR at Villa Park he was mesmeric.
I actually think because of his ability to score goals  and strikes the ball he's better than Jack right now

But they both ate unique in skillset.

[edgysatsuma89]

I don't know if this plays out in the stats but people often mention Eze is injured quite often so he'd more than fit in.

[paul_e]

Olise would be the better signing for me, I reckon he's coming up on a big breakthrough soon and will be a Salah-style 20+ a season winger.

[Baldy]

Linked with Olise - like it, like it a lot.

I prefer eze has this kid looks like a modern day grealish. Olise too id be happy with both are top players

Shame we cant have both.

How about we sell ramsey and youri then we might be able to 😂

It's probably bullshit but I like the bit where he supposedly wants Champions League football but also wants to play, puts us in a sweet spot for serious players.

God it would, wouldn't it? Christ I hope we close this out.

[Smithy]

They're both excellent players, but Eze is the one you're more likely to see doing the risky 1v1, and Olise more likely to be playing the incisive pass.  That's not to say they can't both DO both of those, just my impression that Olise is more likely to fit into our system given Eze is a more direct replacement for someone like Bailey.  They're both capable of playing for top 4 sides though, and will go for big money.  I don't see us getting either, unfortunately.
