Summer '21 transfer lunacy and overpayment

[Mac76]

I'm not totally for signing Sterling, but if we did, I would play him on the right or left and move ESR to number 10 and bench Odegaard permanently.

can't disagree, Odegaard's looking like a really big disappointment

Yep, we spent over 100million on Pepe and Odegaard combined and they are getting outperformed by two of our academy graduates! Only at Arsenal

[Mac76]

Pepe still hasn't been given a good consistent run in the team, he's much better than Odegaard or Auba on current form, and we should try bringing ESR inside to accomodate him on one of the wings for a few matches

Also Martinelli was more dangerous when he switched to the left (though if he'd been in the position to get the chances presented to Saka he might have taken one).

Yes he had a good game overall

Aye, Pepe looked very good towards the end of last season. He’s really out of favour now, looks like Arteta has more or less frozen him out. I agree he should definitely be given more of a choice. His time here looks done though as Martinelli is back in favour and looking good TBF

Bringing on Cedric for Tomi at the weekend really did highlight a) just how important that signing was, and b) that we need to be looking for decent cover for him in the next window or two.

Also please just pay Cedric off and move him on.

Chambers is a much better option at RB IMO, I'd be quite happy with him being the second option, he's less convincing in central defence though, although i recall last time he was there hwe was surrounded by morons lke Luiz, Xhaka, etc

Yeah keep Chambers as RB/4th choice CB. thats decent. think we need a striker to give flexibility as Martinelli can play there but also on the wing as well.
