Spending that amount of money every year is obscene and is ruining English football .We have spent 200m every season for the past three years. We have been paying players to leave our club - Pepe, Aubameyang, Bellerin, Niles, Torriera have all had their contracts torn up and paid off. Were not spending all this money to formulate incomings and outgoings only to wither at 120m for our captain, leader and in my opinion our best player. A sale that would undermine all the time, effort and investment of the past three seasons. We have spent heavily in the past three years, alot more than 120m, yet a sale of Odegaard for 120m would be a dent in the hull and could sink the entire Arteta-Edu project. Therefore, what makes you think 120m would be a competitive offer for Odegaard? 120m wouldn't test us at all, it would be rejected out of hand without consideration.
Thats all very well provided you make the top 4 but with Champions League and teams knowing what you are about this season I dont think that is a givenWe have spent 200m every season for the past three years.

Wait for one of our best when Stones comes back. Currently so much better than alot of all these players we are being linked to.It’s a gamble. If we don’t sign the extra midfielder, Foden seizes his chance and Rodri gets enough of a break and we’re still right in contention for the league when KDB is back, then yeah.
If not, we should have bought another midfielder!
they have once again been given a reasonably easy start to the season and in the first two games havent looked amazing, but then again who does, will be interesting to see how they cope when its 2 games a weekThats all very well provided you make the top 4 but with Champions League and teams knowing what you are about this season I dont think that is a given
Hopefully he’s fit by Xmas...Wait for one of our best when Stones comes back. Currently so much better than alot of all these players we are being linked to.
It makes me so frustrated. I love watching him play.Hopefully he’s fit by Xmas...
Gvardiol may well have taken his role by the time he’s fit.
Yes hence why I suggested Lukaku on loan from Chelsea, I feel the hate for him but as a rotation option he would do a very good job. I’m not saying he’s the one for us but an option similar who wouldn’t kick up a stink about not playing regularly but be able to come on and see out games. Ideally Liam Delap would have done this role but I don’t think he progressed well enough out on loan and is off to Hull. The reason I kept mentioning Lukaku is he would be available cheap as chips. There must be other beer options but I could t think of names and reasonable price and do think we could do with beefing up squad here.
As long as he’s fit for the last 2-3 months, we’ll be okay, but it is so frustrating.It makes me so frustrated. I love watching him play.
I'll take anything but I always want much more when it comes to this guy.As long as he’s fit for the last 2-3 months, we’ll be okay, but it is so frustrating.
