Bizarre and for it to seemingly be endorsed by the Chairman.

Lokonga not being seen as priority is intriguing. For me, central midfield is the glaring priority.

I agree, Cm is comfortably our weakest position especially given Cullen looks to have a knock

To be fair, Andy Jones does say Lokonga isn't seen as a priority - not that CM isn't seen as a priority.

Whilst I think he might be right, Will Lancaster is not a source of anything. A journalist who only posts about Burnley rumours? Aye, alright.

Yes, he's as relevant as "ITK's" on this board.

I think he is not a priority because he is currently injured

Burnley transfer update

Townsend contract offer

Odobert. Interest in winger. Talks held. No deal agreed yet

Lokonga. Interest in loan but not seen as a priority

McNally. Closing on loan move - Stoke one of clubs w/interest

Who do I need to message to point out how important Lokonga is??

Some of that contradicts what respected journos were reporting yesterday. Quite a few Arsenal beat writers have reported Lokonga deal close this afternoon.

I can’t see how Lokonga isn’t seen as a priority.

Probably because we don't want Arsenal to think we are desperate to sign him.

I do wonder if with all the 'wingers' we signed are allegedly chasing there's an intention to utilise some in midfield; they'll certainly be pacey.

Anthonini · Post by **Anthonini** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 7:15 pm

They just need them to substitute Benny and Zaroury without quality loss. What if they are unavailable for some reason... In the Premier League you need more squad depth especially on the wings. On top of that Benson and Zaroury aren't exactly physical phenomena that are able to give the same performance for 90 minutes every week or twice a week. Need some rotation and Zaroury can be out for international duty too with Africa cup and what not.

We appear to be collecting players again. This time for decent money. Where is the money coming from?

No outgoings, as yet nor any publicity about outgoing players.

JJ was brought in to bring others in to invest, we have no idea if that has been successful and it's not likely something they would announce.

There are still rumours that a dal for Tresor may still be on the cards and talks are ongoing. If Maatsen is a no-go then are we going to rely on Taylor and Vitinho or is a deal on anywhere for LB's ?

I’d be amazed if we don’t bring in a left back and a central midfielder.

I can't imagine that Kompany would rely on Vitinho and Taylor who are bench players at best. His system really thrives with fullbacks good on the ball like a Gomez or Maatsen. That Galatasaray right back looks crisp though. Hope they can go for a player like him.

Surely they would have played Maatsen at left back at least once in pre season if that was the case? He has played everywhere but left back.
