Probably, at 17 million would have been a real bargain, that’s a 13- 18 million saving on Odergaard.

Is he one of those worldies we're missing out on because of Arteta - like AMN, Willock, Saliba and Guendouzi?

One of the many yes, instead he goes and blows 50 million on a CB with barely any top level experience.

Why buy bargains when you can waste huge amounts on players worth half what you pay eh? :lol:

We needed a ball playing defender to replace sideshow bob.

Should have bought both Dunk and White as a partnership

Almost all CBs can play out from the back now. It's nothing special.


Xhaka can play b2b and Torreira can play cam, does not mean they are suited to it and can do it well, but they can try.

Whites passing range is a direct Luiz replacement.

Dunk was taken off at half time at Brentford in 2014 at 2-1 down
He was around the same age as white then

Dunk didn’t cost 50 million though and still wouldn’t today.

And I didn’t have to pay it then and I don’t have to now. Very rich Arsenal did
Couldn’t give a f**k if they cost the earth
Supporters concern ..can they do the job not junior accountancy.
We finished 8th twice you know?

As we talked about the other day it matters as we only have limited amounts to spends, you not caring is irrelevant.

Plus 50 million for a CB should buy you a world class player withno obvious weaknesses not a work in progress!

I'd prefer Camavinga
Raya/Ramsdale
White/Tomiyasu--Saliba/Timber--Gabriel/Kiwior--???/Zinchenko
???/Jorginho
Odegaard/Smith Rowe----Rice/???
Saka/Jesus-------------------Martinelli/Trossard
???/Havertz

Get him in, he’s a bargain! Don’t think we’re interested in Camavinga.

Nice little quick feet and release to assist Paqueta on the weekend.


Still wondering why we didn’t sign him for 20m

Arsenal have not abandoned hope of signing Lyon's France midfielder Houssem Aouar and will target the 23-year-old next summer, but the Gunners will find if difficult to bring him to London unless they qualify for the Champions League. (Todofichajes - in Spanish)


Looks like we aren't getting him
