It seems really unlikely that Luton will be able to stay up.
Likely a far better option for them to put money into their existing stadium and then into their new stadium to avoid debt as opposed to buying $100M worth of players just to have to sell them again.

I think at least the big clubs would love to get loans to a PL team and have those loans get playing time. A few guys from United who could get loaned out: Elanga, Mainoo, Mengi, Iqbal, Pellistri, Fernandez, Hannibal, Amad, Shoretire. Now without really paying super close attention to the way Luton plays or how ready these guys are there could be some pretty interesting options there.

Didn't see this thread before I made mine. Sorry about that.
Yeah, from an Arsenal perspective, Sambi, Vieira, Trusty (if we resign him), Marquinhos, Hein, Rekik, Norton-Cuffy are all possibilities, assuming we get rid of Cedric/Mari/Tavares/Pepe/Runarsson/Patino
Most of these names are not premier league quality, there's no chance Luton will waste their 2 PL spots on any of these names. Diallo is quality but they don't play a system for him. I think Nakamba and Drameh should be signed but Horvath isn't good enough, would be a good backup option, so unless he's really cheap I would look for other options.
I think they are going to want to reward most of the guys that brought them up so I can't see a huge amount of incomings. They should add another starting CB and central mid for sure. Need another RWB, even more so if they don't bring back Drameh, and another striker to push the starting 2.
I don't see them buying from any established premier league sides and I'm not sure many would want to make that switch. From relegated sides who would be great adds are Walker-Peters, Ward-Prowse and Bednarek from Southampton, maybe Adams as that depth forward from Southampton. Dewsbury-Hall and Inheanacho from Leicester. Koch, Kristensen and Adams from Leeds. But most of those guys, even though they're relegated, are probably out of their price range.

What formation and style of play would best utilize their offensive strengths?

If they are to play together the team should probably keep deploying a back three and give them offensive freedom. They could probably do well in either possession or counter-attacking oriented systems.

Saw that Barca was flying out to Japan for a friendly as well. Football is taking the offseason too hard these dats. Give the players some time away.

Supposedly Kompany is fired up to go. I guess they did finish a week early, but yeesh. Killing the players
We had a friendly for Iniesta as he’s leaving Vissel Kobe. A lot of players who played didn’t play much during the season, like Torre (at least we found a way for Xavi to give him minutes). He even gave minutes to kids like Prim. We could use the few million for the trip too. Players are now on break until July 10th.

I wonder if he will be taking up a role with the Premier League itself. A lot of Villa fans don't like him / blame him for the Gerrard appointment, but he has been with us for 5 years. In that time, we started midtable in the championship, got promoted from the Championship, survived in the PL, and qualified for Europe at the end.
