You need help.Because Rosie says so? Piss off. There's a link to the players, it's the transfer part of the forum, don't be spouting your usual tripe on this side of the forum this summer please.
The 5th option would be Chambers or ESR. I already said it in the original post.Im not saying we will sign 2 central midfielders, but in terms of numbers, we definitely need that amount to get through a season, be it keeping Xhaka or the like.
Do you think we could get through a season with Partey, Bissouma, Willock & Azeez for instance? You'd be quite happy for a central midfield pairing of Willock & Azeez for a month? And if 1 gets injured or the likes?!
Why should you be thinking that we will have to play them there in an emergency though? We need 4 quality CM options and then one like Azeez who is coming through.
Careful, common sense is looked down upon in the transfer rumours threads.Real Madrid or Arsenal, tough choice.
Unfortunately, Arsenal doesn't have the reputation Borussia Dortmund does for developing talent anymore. Wenger built that reputation, it gradually declined near the end of his tenure and was completely gone when he left. We are far too chaotic of a football club at this point to be attractive as a stepping stone club for wonderkids.For an 18 year old it's not as cut and shut as that. If he's advised we'll he should be told to join a club like Arsenal first. Similar to what Haaland done.
Saka, ESR, and Martinelli appear to be coming along well?Unfortunately, Arsenal doesn't have the reputation Borussia Dortmund does for developing talent anymore.

Saka and ESR are academy products, Martinelli was brought in from a Brazilian lower division. Talking about a different issue here. We have trouble attracting highly-touted wonderkids like we used to with the likes of Fabregas, Alex Song, Diaby, Fran Merida etc.Saka, ESR, and Martinelli appear to be coming along well?
Sure, but we can still develop youngsters, I don't think that has changed.Saka and ESR are academy products, Martinelli was brought in from a Brazilian lower division.

I didn't say we can't develop youngsters. I said we don't have the reputation Borussia Dortmund does for developing talent. BVB's thing in recent years has been taking highly-touted talent, polishing them and selling them off to bigger clubs. Their repeated success in this regard is the reason why highly-touted talents like Sancho, Haaland and Bellingham keep choosing them. It's a different approach. Our academy is better than BVB, so our thing is more to produce youngsters.Sure, but we can still develop youngsters, I don't think that has changed.
