We do need a winger though, and a centre forward, right back, holding midfielder, central midfielder, another winger, could do with a new keeper, and some back ups...

 

And a new manager

probably a new owner as well and of the course the stadium is long due an upgrade....

I don't really understand what the plan is any more.

Cue new song along lines of the Willian one, boy thrm Gooner fans are gonna be jacked🤣🤣🤣

Remember how quick I said he is , watch him fly…

Like my drunk self logging onto championship manager, editor mode to max out the budget and splurging out on everyone highly rated.

Just to clarify for those that say why we don't offer a bit more and sign Enzo. 

The difference is that for Enzo you would pay the 120 clause in 1 go. 

I think we have to buy into the long term, under Roman ‘Short termism, was the game, Sack-employ-rinse repeat, stop player power, us fans need to see a plan like Arteta at Arsenal, when he first set out they were Dogsh*te bad, look ok now, let’s enjoy a journey, we’ve become so accustomed to winning, it can get monotonous, I mean that by we are expected to win all the time, maybe a dose of realism not fantasy is needed, a reset and go for the fans…

Then buy another good midfielder and save some money

Yeah this is a concern for me. The Felix deal made sense, but we are in need of a CM, a back up RB and ST. Not sure how this lad is improving us up top. Arsenal rightly never went above what Shakhtar asked, so why are we? Never even got linked to the guy before Arsenal were interested. I'm honestly confused. This is one deciison where I'm starting to question Boehly and the board. Playing all that money for a young wide attacker, but not spending an extra €20m for Fernandez's release clause. 

Neither player is proven, nor worth these fees imo however we desperately need a midfielder more than an attacker in most peoples opinion and Enzo is a world champion at least. I don't get how this winger is worth basically the same amount and Enzo is not. 

Unless they have a couple of really good midfielders coming in that will become that level, aka signing Enzos from a river plate rather than benficas this is nuts.

It's not the same amount though. A good 30-40m difference 

I thought Mini Haaland was a teenager.

He's 22 and played 60 games in the Ukraine league in his career.

WTF.  What justifies a 100m fee?

So around half a cucurella then...

Did we learn nothing from Kounde or Raphinha? 

The player obviously wants arsenal...

We need players committed to the cause, not more mercenaries. 

I see this on twitter thought it was a joke WTF is the board and recruitment team doing this is nuts !!!

Just like the Enzo deal I really don’t want this to go through like WTAF

We just signed him. WTF is going on 🤣🤣🤣

I still won't believe this until it is completed. Seen these go south so many times because of rubbish reporting and outright lies.

Next we'll hear Shaktar announce that no actual agreement yet and Mudryk hasn't yet signed.

Quite the fee.  I was actually surprised to learn the Ukranian League is still happening. Can't imagine the quality is fantastic with everything happening. 

But having not watched a single minute of him playing I can only say welcome and I hope he's a raging success.

😳😳 All this spending reminds me of the Italians clubs before it went south for them or Barcelona 

Very few goals in this lad to date. Wouldn’t have been my priority. Goal keeper, central mid and 20 goal a year striker. They sre my priorities.  Plus someone with character to be captain. 

One thing this will show the current useless attackers get your sh*te together or go!!!

Potter knows what he needs more, clearly a young winger is what he needs then the club will take out the wallet.

Guess there's a good chance that CHO is done then...best Todd and Co start flogging the deadwood and some of those on loan to pay for all these Hollywood signings.   Given the price and what Todd has done so far since his arrival, one wonders how they are going to get around FFP unless they have decided to pay the fines.
