Surely Pellegrini doesn’t want Arnautovic, Mitrovic and Gomez as our 3 strikers? All the same type of player.

If Arnie stays and both Chicha and Perez follow Carroll out of the door, we will need at least one more heavy hitter up front.

I would prefer Gomez on what I’ve seen, but would take Mitrovic as a reasonably close 2nd best, if that’s all we can get. Marega might be a good option to explore as well. I’m sure that MP and H are looking elsewhere too.

The increasing hype about Ceballos sounds encouraging, but I won’t hold my breath. I wonder if MP has more confidence about Wilshere as he’s been talking him up recently. He looked top class v Soton, when he came on.

I think we’ll see some playing time for Holland and Coventry too next season, most likely in cup matches.

I would promote Trott to second keeper and save new keeper cash to put towards outfield players.

A newly fit Yarmalenko, plus Anderson, Antonio and Lanzini should cover both attacking flanks without the need to bring in another winger, though there is talk of Brahimi on a free. Holland looks a good stand in, too.

As I’ve said before, Diangana should go on loan for a season to develop some end product.

It would be great to end this year on a high by beating Watford and nicking 9th.

Newly fit yarmolenko sounds optimistic giving the severity of his injury and our record. We have lanzini in a similar predicament aswell. We can only hope its behind them and they can return to level they can play it. Certainly wouldn't be against us going for another winger benahrama looks very tricky and would be exciting to watch, I like the look of Jarrod Bowen mentioned below also. Maybe someone like Marega or Keita is a good shout who can play out wide or through the middle might be a smart move considering our budget and how many players it seems like we want to bring in.

As for Mitro a few of my geordie friends were saying how he's the type to cause issues when not in the team, sulking, bad attitude that sort of thing. That being said MP does like to play 2 up top and arnautovic can play out wide.

ceballos would be an absolute coup at his age and price. Sceltical on this though.

I think Iron Al is right in regards to Mitrovic. Petulant and moody. We already have one like that and if he stays we will have two and if he goes please don’t replace like for like!
