2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

Whilst I'm sure Emery and The Board (The Emery Board?) will be picking up some underrated players from around Europe, if I was looking at the domestic market, I'd be trying to get Eze from Palace.  I thought we should have gone for him when we sold Grealish, as he's the nearest thing to him.

I’m sure I read we were interested, don’t know if an approach was made, but he said he didn’t want to leave London. We were in the bottom third, so he may have been being polite in saying that.
Maybe with Emery as manager and us in the top section he might have second thoughts

Walker Peters at Southampton has got potential and I like the look of Carlos Alcaraz as well.
Just to dismiss players because they’ve been relegated is missing a trick.

Walker-Pieters in to put pressure on Cash would be a smart move.

What’s happened to KKH?
He seems to have just disappeared

He's been back at the academy and playing in PL2.

Cheers, bud

Walker-Peters is 26, he’s decent but he’s not some up and coming youngster.

[LeeB]

I liked the look of that Livio fella at Soton but the mistake yesterday was atrocious and we have plenty to play there.

All season I heard he was great, a star for the future, and every time I saw him play he was rubbish.

No. The only thing Walker-Peters can put pressure on is a bowl of jelly. But we do need a stand out right back with Cash on the bench

Agree on Eze. Olise would have been good as well. Not been paying that much attention to the Championship this season, are there any standout players?

Striker up at Middlesbrough seems to be doing well.

My Boro mates reckon he may struggle in the Prem but AR looks about class. They did say they want to keep them both though.

Seems to be an uptick in Twitter noise regarding Marco Asensio this morning.

[Monty]

Marca say Emery had bit of yaketty-yak over the blower with him. To paraphrase Churchill, up with this I could put.

[Toronto Villa]

Not saying it didn’t happen but if two people are on a call, unless one of those two people tell the media they were on said call then how would anyone else know it even happened? Did Marca tap the line?

[Monty]

Asensio was so giddy with excitement he immediately blabbed to all and sundry?

[LeeB]

But, but the Daily Heil say Arsenal are battling AC Milan to sign him? Surely this is some mistake?

Seriously, get this announced early and it's the kind of deal that makes other players look and go "Oh yeah, they're not fucking about are they? Count me in"

Yeah, I don't know about Arsenal and their priorities but we have way more money available to us than Milan if we want to use it. Such is the Premier League (if you're competently run). Milan are of course what they are, and they will have Champions League next season.

So we'll see. But fuck, wouldn't this be something? I mean, in Spain they're taking us very very seriously right now, Emery is such a hugely respected figure over there.

[Toronto Villa]

So we are suggesting that Marco was so excited at the prospect of joining the Villa on Tour European piss up that he told Marca? And after Emery specifically told him “I know you have chub in your trousers at the prospect but keep your fucking gob shut”. But he couldn’t. Is that what happened here?
