No one who Arsenal would have bought in January, would be a regular starter over Xhaka, Partey and Ødegaard of this year. Not even Caicedo, currently he is similar level to them at most. Arsenal needs quality depth.
Of course he can.
We have been overpaying on many deals the last few years, Jorginho included.
Yes, I was critical to Xhaka but not blaming him. He is doing his job which is complementary with Parteys one. One goes and the other is worse, specially in the case of Xhaka without someone to cover his no pace. We saw the other day that Partey still has a lot of pace when necessary.
I said "easily". Overpaying for Jorginho, who costs 10+2 for a desperate Arsenal team in January, from Chelsea, is not a big overpay. The rumours of 15-20 million were. You can even say it's surprising Boehly sells to Arsenal. Their fans don't like it.
eh? we're surprisingly top for half a season after 6 years out of the CL and we're suddenly challenging the European elite for truly marquee names? sure we're in better shape and we have some money, but let's not delude ourselves that we've earned the right to be entitled to stuff like these just yet. people here really need to get a grip.
18 pl appearances basically 90 percent. They say 12 million 150ish k per week
Because he won’t be asked as much as Thomas when he plays we will play 2 holding midfielders, when Tom plays we play 1 holding midfielder
Really want him to get to do a Giroud at the end of the season, thanking Chelsea for letting him join Arsenal.
