He is better than Madueke and someone we should have signed instead quite frankly.

Hmmm I think he’d be an excellent player for us, but if we needed to free up money to sign Eze even more so with this guy

So I’m a tad skeptical of this rumour. Hopefully I'm wrong

IMO, as much as we need somebody capable on the left, it's more pressing we sort out our issues through the middle instead of allowing Odegaard's lukewarmness ruin our season once again.

After watching Madueke's defensive display against United, I'm pretty sure we've wasted money on him (if the left is where he'll be a mainstay).

Our next signing needs to definitely solve a problem and not add to it, as sorting out the center is the only way to unlock our striker, seeing as teams have sussed out that double teaming and stopping our wing play is the way to neutralise our attack.

Yes I would be quite happy with getting him in

Agreed.

We are so robotic with our attack, it's seems to have been ingrained into them to only play out to the wings and try for crosses or corners, whilst the middle and more direct play has been almost eradicated.

Even yesterday I think there was at least twice Ode got inside the 18 yard box and put the ball out to the wing instead of into the middle of the box

We have given Arteta enough money. Save it for the new manager come January. Why the hell he bought Madueke is beyond me. Chelsea must have been laughing all the way to the bank. The jury is still out on Gyko and Zubimendi to see what they have for the Premier League.

Yes but sadly after spending a billion pound we are still missing a player or two in key areas.

Shocking I know, but here we are - again.

We haven't spent a billion pounds. Net spend is a more honest measure and since Arteta arrived that is about 630m Euros.
Which is still a lot, but it's only the 4th highest net spend in the league. Utd and Chelsea way ahead of us - Spurs were ahead too although we might have leapfrogged them since this article.

100%, let's hope there's some truth in it
