Not counting Vlahovic, all these players supposedly rejecting Arsenal are just BS rumors. Not to say that the recruitment has not been poor this window. If you know the January window is hard to do deals in, you should plan accordingly. Some factors beyond Arsenals control (red cards, covid) obviously, but it would be devastating if this window comes back to haunt the club when points are being counted in the end of the season.

Why wait so long for someone who needed convincing? Seems like posturing to me, or Arteta is FoS. He shouldn't even be getting any more money to fix the mess he's made.

Buy Guimaraes and Bentancur and hire Arthur Cabral. Summer move to another ST if it is the case. Be intelligent.

80 millions max, price of some overrated Isak or Vlahovic.

How many decent players do we have on the bench when everyone's fit? One of ESR/Martinelli and Pepe who the manager doesn't rate. Outside of that there's basically nothing. On top of that Lacazette is our number 9.

Hlozek would be genuinely exciting, albeit probably not an immediate game changer. He's gonna cost big though, plus probably not available mid season (if at all)
Think we were rumored to be looking at him 2 years ago. Kind of player you sign and loan to Bundesliga

I don't think Lokonga gets a game for many teams in the league mate. Yep, Auba isn't playing another minute for the club though im afraid.
Logonka is young so at top clubs who rich in quality he won't well even here he couldn't get ahead of our starting CM but from bench he can be considered decent.

Now we're back to spinning the story the owners/board won't spend (after spending the most on the planet last summer, mind you) to justify Arteta not getting his boy Vlahovic who was clearly never coming to Arsenal?

You think if that was top of the agenda, a discussion would be had at the start of the window, not at the end of a window lol.

He's our third choice CM, you'd expect him to get loads of game time and he's well off it for a team that wants to finishing in the top 4.

That's true but without Europe chance are limited since summer i wanted us to to buy 1 more CM with Lokonga because i felt no much quality there. And we didn't and cost us

Yep. If it was a money problem Arteta would've spent ****ing Christmas over at Stans gifting him watch after watch, but, this has happened just after Vlahovic finally got into the Old Lady's pants and made it very clear getting in bed with Arsenal was never his intention. But spinning it this way through the media, now there's the ready made excuse "we wanted Vlahovic but couldn't afford him" when everything really points in a very different direction. At least good to know Arteta never ****s up his PR.

The amount of players we are going to have to sign in the summer will be mad. 2 new CFs, 2 new midfielders, probably a winger and a back up keeper.
Rebuilding always takes longer than breaking down. I know we're a bit impatient but as you can see with the Vlahovic issue, it's not always about money; the player AND their agent must want the club as well. Also, I've said before that the longer we're out of Europe, the harder and more expensive it would be for us to attract top talent and it's clearly showing now. The only comfort I'm having right now is that the striker pool around Europe is piss poor at the moment and there's a real lack of quality #9's available in the modern game.

In summer if nothing happen this window we'll find ourselves in need for 2 CF 2 CM 1 winger and gk those the prime target. Others depends on departures like hopefully some leave so we able sign RB.
