Very speculative piece of journalism. Would happily take Ake, but not if it means we lose Og.

alderz

I would take Ake too.

Part of me thinks I would take him over Oggy but I'm not sure. Ake looked excellent for Bournemouth, is younger, would probably command less wages. But, I really like Oggy.

Yeoldhammer

Ake for Ogbonna is a ;hmm, I think Ake is ok but I don't know if he is better than Ogbonna currently, however if Burke and Oxford make it that could be a back 3 set for years to come.

I just hope we get the RB and Striker situation sorted Early Early Doors so that they are available come the first game of pre-season to get integrated.

ASLEFshrugged

Ake was third choice CB behind Simon Francis and Steve Cook, he only got starts when Francis was either unavailable or was covering the right back position. Okay he's young but we have plenty of youngsters coming through at CB, do we really need another one?

Plus he's a bit short for a CB, just 5' 11", same height as Noble but shorter than Byram

adecoker

Are you sure the last sentence shouldn't end " ... they are available come the first game of the pre-season to get injured." ?

Yeoldhammer

;kanye

you're probably right.

Jermain Defoe opens talks with Bournemouth, according to SSN.

Lukerz

Arsenal in talks to sign Henry Onyekuru, according to SSN.

OldCastleSwift

And Arsenal in talks with Onyekuru.

Two of our reported transfer targets already being courted by other teams ;lol

£6.8m release clause and a 'lifelong Arsenal fan', apparently

He can replace King once he comes to us ;biggrin

Bazshuayi

I'd take Ake and give Oggy to Chelsea especially if it means they'll play ball with Batshuayi coming also. Then, that'll save my username which, at the end of the day, is more important than either transfer ;whistle

Yes, they will need him for their Thursday nights in the Europa League, if he can anywhere near the First Team?

OldCastleSwift

Ex stating that we're going in for both Bats and Iheanacho.

Fairly confident we'll land neither.

Also reporting that Defoe isn't a top target anymore.

As much as I want Bats and/or Iheanacho, I can't help but think Defoe is much more realistic.

'2/3 new signings will take us up a level' - Tony Henry

Lukerz

OCS - Defoe will bag a hatful for Bournemouth the way they play. Can see something like 15-18 goals. ;ok

IMO

2/3??

;hmm

If the 'next level' is up to 10th i agree

(4 or 5 needed IMO )

Bazshuayi

Bats and Iheanacho would make us appreciably better IMO so despite being skeptical we'll even get one of them, the hopeful WHU supporter in me would love it!

#Keegan

Feghouli Antonio Obiang Kouyate Lanzini Ayew
Iheanacho
Carroll Batshuayi

#yum options!

alderz

I would rather 2 or 3 first team signings than 7 or 8 squad players

EXETERHAMMER

I would like us to put in a serious bid for Iheanacho even though I am not convinced he will want to come to us. I believe Everton are interested.
