This reeks of another low budget gamble by a tight ass manager, as opposed to any great master plan. I am willing to give Elneny the benefit of the doubt until he's had a run of games, but surely we needed someone ready to step in right away. An upgrade on what we already have. Also means making another CM signing in the summer could be out of the question if Wenger is still in charge. I bloody well hope not, but not holding my breath.
