Lot of chat that our transfers are now being driven by Raul's close ties with the super agents e.g. Mendes and Joorabchian which is a bit worrying.

It's probably bullshit anyway but it doesn't make any sense to buy another left back. Kolasinac won't be out for long and Tierney is due back before the end of season.
That's the logical approach but when does this club ever do anything logical, last summer we spent 72 million on a winger when we desperately needed a CB, then scrambled and signed a poor CB for cheap after signed a 30 million CB and loaned hin out for the year so we didn't have to pay for him there and then. This guy is also cut price, or free if you wait till the sumer, so it makes perfect sense to the club.
Could only offer Aubameyang 3 1/2 years but are willing to offer this guy 5 years, go figure!
Sensible post. IMO the last couple of results have merely underlined what we all knew - there is no quick fix for this team, and Arteta's task is a long term one. What we needed to see was some team shape and positional discipline. We have seen this since Arteta came. As fans we want to believe that a manager can be a magic bullet but this is usually the exception rather than the rule. I'll take the modest progress so far as part of a longer term progression, and I am prepared to acknowledge that Sheffield United are a good team who have also drawn at Spurs and Chelsea this season, and at home against Manure. We need a player overhaul and more potency up front, but the manager can only work with what he has got ATM. Patience needed.

Sounds like journeyman left back Layvin Kurzawa will be joining on a free. But not until the summer. Can't see the benefit really, beyond a bit of cover. And if this is a hint of the calibre we'll be chasing in the summer, pretty uninspiring.
Never know, he might buck the trend and be useful.
