Arsenal transfer strategy - genius or bizzarre

mardi 9 juillet 2019

I’d like to kick this one off with a vote for slightly bizarre.

With a quoted budget of 45m they have so far invested c£6m on Martinelli who is a development project not ready to play yet, Saliba for £26.5m who they are apparently then loaning back so won’t be available this year. That’s £32m of their budget already gone, £13m left and no defensive additions yet.

Either they are looking down the back of the sofa and in old coat pockets to rustle up a bit more cash to top up or expect to be able to off load some of the crap players they have in their squad at the moment to other teams - presumably someone who has never seen them play - in order to raise the over £100m required to complete on the 2 players they have already bid on plus whatever they bid as an afterthought any other defensive players.

I am wondering if they are going for the “we know our defence is crap but we can score more than you so it doesn’t matter” strategy

Who’s going to break first Emery or Kroenke, how long before the fans start to get restless and does anyone else think this feels like an episode of that US series Soap.
