I think we are done. I think we have targets but it seems we are not prepared to pay the fees to secure them. Neto and Tielemans being the names that spring to mind. The current prices in the market are nuts, prices are very high for players who IMO are nowhere near at the top of their game.Originally Posted by Chippy
And so the Arsenal we know and love (or tolerate) is back
I fear a panic buy coming on!
This is really worring news (Elneny now injured also). We were all worried about CM cover. This has reminded us that despite our spending we are vulnerable. Not panicking yet but this does take the gloss off our great start a bit...
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
If Zinchenko's back - do we shift him into MF?

I think that's a solid option, tbh. I've watched Zinchenko extensively (one entire match against poor opposition) in CM and he was fantastic. He was more box to box though so I don't see him as a replacement for Partey. Moving Xhaka there is scary as fuck, obviously but that's what Arteta will do, I reckon. Arteta won't start Zinchenko and Lokonga together. Xhaka WILL be in there somewhere with one of them.
What about the new Vieria?
I don't these injuries changes transfer plans though. Seems like Partey is only a couple of weeks and Elnonentity is just a back anyway.
The absolute priority must remain a goal threat winger. Only a prolific nonce will disagree with that.
Arsenal in CRISIS!!!
Maybe you shouldn’t project onto other people your own predilections towards children
The central midfield was the outstanding issue before these two got injured and anyone who wants us to go in against United without a holding midfielder is a bigger danger to children than Sidney Cook.
Who would have thought Partey would get injured....I mean it's not like it's ever happened before! I've been banging on about Central Midfield all summer, we lack quality and decent depth in that area...here we are 4 games in scrambling around Europe now looking for solutions now that we have 2 Central Midfielders out injured.
Central Midfield should have been the priority position this summer!!!
Are they scrambling though???
