The only way I see us spending 40m+ on this is if we really have funds....
Otherwise this is just the wrong priority. Guess time will tell....

So we'll have White, Gabriel, Holding, Saliba and Mari competing/rotating for two spots? Plus Chambers who can fill there as well?
Someone must be on the way out, surely.
Pretty disappointing if he never even gets a shot to establish himself hereSaliba shouldn’t be included. His time here is done.
Arteta will bring him back for pre season but he’ll be shipped out straight after.
Saliba is only 19 years old too really difficult just throw him to start 30+ games in league few mistakes and people here and on twitter will call him fraud and *** etc.. lol. i'm not surprised by the links we send him on loan again to PL club specially.
we had 3rd best defense league. still doesn't make us very solid because we make many mistakes.
With Luiz gone we look very light in CB.I suppose with him being HG, fairly young, 'pl proven' and quite versatile even if he does flop he'll still go for quite a bit so we could end up making a good chunk of the money back anyway.
If anything the important part here is that we apparently have quite a bit of money to spend on a position we are ok in which presumably means we surely have a decent amount to spend in the areas we aren't ok in, or at least i'd hope so. I also don't much care what order we fill these positions in as long as they ultimately get filled so not fussed if we buy yet another cb first.

Holding gets injured we throw in a 19 year old?
Just bring back matropunis or whatever his name is
we all knew with mikel he don't trust youngsters much unless he forced to do so like ESR. Martinelli being used very carefully too i think Mikel just want ready made players for now something fans will hate but will understand later.A 19 year old with three seasons of first team football behind him. People talk about him like he has just been pulled out of the reserves. If he can play regularly for Nice in Ligue 1 he can play league and cup games for us.

Actually interested to know whether Ben White has done anything remarkable this season to be worth 40-50m? Last summer, I understand because there was a lot of hype around him when he was at Leeds but what has changed?
Like I said before our transfer strategy is probably the worst in the PL. Arteta wasn’t keen on AMN last summer and Brighton were. He could have offered him in a deal for Ben White when AMN’s stock was high.
I doubt Brighton are keen on AMN now.
