Sure there replacements Ramsdale and White, Lokanga are around the same level or upgrades, but when you look at the fact that Odeegard is essentially a Ramsey replacement, Pepe wouldn’t have been bought had Gnabry been around to reach his potential.
It’s all just one big massive waste of money
You can’t tell me that had things gone different...
———-————Martinez——————
Tomiyasu—Saliba/Mavropanos—Gabriel—KT
———-Partey—Ramsey/New CM———
—————ESR/New CAM——————-
Not Pepe/Gnabry—-NEW CF/Auba—Saka/Martinelli
You can’t tell me that we wouldn’t have been better off with that squad and an extra £300 million to burn over the seasons on a proper Ozil replacement, an Elite CF to rotate/play with Auba, an Elite Cazorla replacement so Xhaka can go.
BTW that 300M figure is based of not buying Pepe/Ramsdale/White, some squad player sales who would have been surplus to requirements like Xhaka etc.
Obviously it’s not all Artetas fault as this started with Wenger and Gnabry then Emery with Ramsey, still though Arteta is continuing with that bad cycle and will continue to lose top players for nothing and pay over the odds for replacements.
Right now when players like Aubameyang, Saka, ESR, Partey and even Xhaka get injured there’s an instant drop in quality which interrupts the team. If we were smarter the last few years with our business we wouldn’t have this problem.
Remember the days when we were stacked with quality Henry, Bergkamp, Adebayor, RVP as a strike force, Hleb, Pires, Ljunburg, Reyes, Walcott on the wings, that type of squad depth needed to win titles, now as soon as someone like Partey gets injured we are panicking because Elneny is a massive drop in quality, compare that to a few years ago Gilberto got injured you had Flamini, Song and Diaara to chose from.
Anyways I could go on for ages with this rant but it’s going to take us a long time before we have a good backup in every position again.

That's why I think the club are fond of Holding- he knows he's a fairly limited defender so is happy to be 3rd-4th choice.

Looks like it was a good move for all concerned.

I think we should bring him AND Saliba back and let them battle with White and Gabriel to be FIRST choice.
That's what we want - competition. Any player who doesn't want to compete - and in turn run the risk of not playing - is not the kind of player we want at the club.
