Buying a 29 yo for 30m would be very stupid

Just be another player who’ll be deadwood on high wages in 2 years like Debuchy, and I think nzonzi is good

All of our signings should be 26 and under, we’re not rich enough to be buying 28/29 year olds every year

I agree, but who do you have in mind who's young, available to us, and would be an immediate improvement?

Goretzka
Jorginho

Otavio
Torreira (if he hasn’t agreed a move)
Aranguiz
Ascaicabar (can’t spell but plays for Stuttgart)

Some good names. Goretzka should be our priority number one, but he's more attack minded.

We need a defensive midfielder beside him. From your suggested names i think Jorginho is the most suitable choice imo. Not so sure, if he will be available for us. Napoli are doing well in the Serie A and their owner isn't an easy person to negotiate with.

All others are very lightweight. I know Kante isn't the biggest guy as well, and he's doing well here, but I still think adding more physical players wouldn't be bad. Aranguiz is 28 btw.

It's wengers ridiculous use of a squad that has made debuchy appear deadwood he ain't
And don't let 350 million plus arsenal plead the poor mouth
This is a very rich football club
We want the right players right now weather they be closer to a potty or a zimmer

No :doh:

Of all the midfielders in the world, why are you obsessed with probably the most average of them all? Will be another Xhaka with his blistering pace.

Jesus thought Aranguiz was in his mid twenties, what a wasted talent

Otávio from Bordeaux is a very interesting option imo, he is like 5’9” but producing monstrous stats in his first season in europe

Not sure what’s gonna happen, but know we can do better than a 29 yo

Were better off getting this guy before he joined Sevilla. Now I'm not so sure. Useful player, better than Xhaka. But I feel there's superior options out there. The price being touted is also quite hefty. Might as well chuck another 10-15M on top and get Fabinho. A Fabinho-Goretzka midfield would do very nicely. Quality and balance.
