Our deeper central midfield options:
Partey, Elneny
Xhaka, Samba
Can't count on Zinchenko cos Tierney's injury record means he'll be needed at left back.
That is not good enough. Especially when you look at the quality in the rest of the squad.

It might be they think the later they leave it the less he'll cost (he'd be even cheaper if they could hold out til January). Problem is, if Zinchenko is needed to rotate at left back, we're a Partey injury and Xhaka suspension from Elneny-Sambi as our midfield base!TedLasso wrote:Arsenal Tone wrote:Our deeper central midfield options:

The longer they go without buying Tielemans, the more it convinces me that they think that's enough in midfield to contend. I hope not. It's imperative we find a better alternative to Partey than Elneny, a player I love but is far too limited.

Denmark defender Andreas Christensen, 26, and Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie, 25, who both joined Barcelona this summer, could leave the club for free if they cannot be registered before Saturday's first La Liga match. (ESPN)

The inability to learn from mistakes seems to run deep at this club. How many times have we left the squad short in a key area, only to have it predictably backfire on us? This comes from the mentality of doing the bare minimum instead of going to the necessary lengths, and it's indicative of the lack of genuine ambition at the club.

It's their wages that'll stop us buying.TedLasso wrote:Still need to clear AMN, Nelson, Pepe, and Bellerin. Doubt we get more than 20m combined for these four.
Might as well go ahead and buy the players you want, these sales won't make a financial impact honestly.
