Winning the PL is more valuable than 20 mil loss om a player. Champions league too(top4)A young player who cost £60m can be considered cheap. Because in a few years time, if he performs well, we can sell him for £120m, and we can sell him at original cost even if he turns out to be average.
An old player that cost £15m is expensive because his ability is on the decline and most often you sell him at a much lower price in a few years time. We shouldn’t waste time on players older than 26.
So you are saying getting amazing young talents like Aouar and Tonali instead of getting old players with the EXACT SAME ability will not get us winning the PL?Winning the PL is more valuable than 20 mil loss om a player. Champions league too(top4)
I agree with you. We need to rebuild and these are what we needed:
In:
Gouiri, Reinier Jesus, Chukwueze, Szoboszlai, Aouar, Ndidi, Tonali, Upamecano, Saliba, Bellanova, Plizzari
Out:
Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah, Mkhitaryan, Özil, Xhaka, Elneny, Mustafi, Mavropanos, Luiz, Martinez
No situation has ever been like the one you presuming exists. Tell me with who is 21 that we can afford thats as good as mane, bruyne, salah etc. There are no kids that are world class with few exceptions, and those cost 150mil or more. Jao Felix 150mil~. Value for money? Won't sell him this summer for that price.So you are saying getting amazing young talents like Aouar and Tonali instead of getting old players with the EXACT SAME ability will not get us winning the PL?
Not all in January. In a few windows.You want us to sign 11 players in January and sell 11..?
For example, if Arteta wants 2 central midfielders and 1 centre back in January, then I would suggest to sign Ndidi, Tonali and Upamecano. You get the idea?I agree with you. We need to rebuild and these are what we needed:

Gouiri, Reinier Jesus, Chukwueze, Szoboszlai, Aouar, Ndidi, Tonali, Upamecano, Saliba, Bellanova, Plizzari

It’s like Mbappe and Neymar. One 21 and one 28. Both world class, both top dribblers, both skillful, both scores a lot and both are expensive. Who will you choose to buy?No situation has ever been like the one you presuming exists.

The list that I posted are amazing world class young talents who are already performing at a top level.
I never based these on gaming, I’m sure some of the players on the list has sh** ratings in game. Who the f*** would look at the numbers in a game and say someone is good or not good enough in real live? And I haven’t been playing football games for a good few years now. How would I know which young players are good in the game?Ahhhhh you're the 'list' guy arent you
Comes on here every few months with a new and updated list of players you like on Football Manager and Fifa then proceeds to spam it in every thread, which players didnt make it from the previous list?
Talking about Arsenal players, I was once watching Nasri on TV (u21 or u23 France team) in an international match. I immediately knew what a big talent he was. He was 16 at the time and valued at around £5m. Arsenal finally signed him for £17m when he was 21 and I was so happy about that.I first heard of Hleb through Championship Manager, then he became one of my favourite Arsenal players in real life when we signed him...felt like I had kind of signed him myself

Why would the valuation have dropped from 100 to <60?Koulibaly is a wish list level signing. Potential VvD level linchpin in defence. Can't believe people would turn down the chance of signing him for anything less than £60 million.
Anything more and I get the arguments that it's probably too much for somebody his age.
Joao Felix is a bit overrated I would say. He won’t be able to do what he does now in the PL. Because he won’t have that extra half second he usually needed to adjust when controlling the ball. The distance he kept with opponent when dribbling is always too close so the opponent can get physical on him. His team play is good but not the best.No situation has ever been like the one you presuming exists.

I don't think we should put big money on ANYONE who is not capable of playing for a title winning team in 3-5 years. It would be a waste.
Koulibaly would be 32 in his 5th year here if we signed him in January. We would have him for his prime years as a defender. Koscielny was 34 in his last year at Arsenal and was arguably still our best defender when fit. Koulibaly has missed only 7 games over six seasons with Napoli due to injury.I don't think we should put big money on ANYONE who is not capable of playing for a title winning team in 3-5 years. It would be a waste.
