Yes - agree with all that. I think Odegard is a rare player with serious potential also, but as you say we need to buy the player that it the right fit for Arsenal, and I don't think that the £50M or therabouts that has been suggested even if RM is prepared to sell if the investment that we should be making. FWIW I think that Arteta's seeming obsession with the flanks rather than through midfield hampers us - but that's another story...
