    It doesn't have to be 'panic buys' though.

    Some main targets, followed by a few back up options as part of a coherent and planned strategy, would be acceptable.

    Sorry for banging on about Guendouzi and Saliba but I have read again this morning that the former scored again last night for Marseille and is said to be becoming a natural leader in the midfield.

    It is becoming apparent that Arteta has a great knack of falling out with players and he just moves them on. What a shambles.
    Arteta and Edu are literally killing this club.

    At least we now have the £180m spending spree in the summer to look forward to:

    https://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...k-Neves-latest

    And it appears as though Arteta will have the full backing from owner Stan Kroenke to make the changes he wants in the summer.

    The Sun claim that Arteta will have a £180million available to spend on drastically improving his squad.

    Two strikers could well be signed with both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Alexander Isak strongly linked with moves to the Emirates.

    And Ruben Neves is named as Arsenal's preferred option in midfield, with the Portuguese talisman said to be valued at £45m.
    Still banging on about Isak ffs.

    No point buying a player that is less than an average striker

    Even so, £160mill is a decent investment if it happens.

    Still too late, but a lot of problems can be solved by £120mill.

    Two strikers won't be cheap, so that would eat up a big chunk of the £80mill war chest.

    Then you need a midfielder, is that possible in this market? Two strikers and a midfielder on a budget of £40mill?

    I suppose if we sold a few more players we could increase that £20mill to £20mill.

    Plenty of players available on loan too, so we wouldn't necessarily have to blow the whole £10mill in one window.

    I can buy my season ticket with confidence now.

    The only hope is that Arteta has gotten rid of the dead wood specifically to bring them back for next season. Both Madrid and Milan are looking at Saliba. Can't really blame him if he goes.

    Anyone who thinks throwing money will solve the problems this joke of a manager has caused this club is clearly living in la la land.

    Or please correct me, is money now the cure for people battling with deep seated inferiority complex issues??

    The best transfer we can make is getting rid of this dunce of a manager. No set of new players can cure his malignant stupidity. We are destined for 8th or lower again this season. I doubt we will score another 20 goals before this season ends
    Make 2mrw better than 2day
