I'll rate them as signings
Ødegaard - 8/10 - considering where we are and his potential this is a coup. He's also like the glue that holds the team together.
People claiming he was here for half of last season miss the point that we started the season without him
White 7/10 but potential 8/10. His range of passing and his ability to carry the ball is really good, much better than anyone we have. So if the manager insists we play out from the back he's a good signing.
Perhaps unnecesary given Saliba may be as good or better. So I'm in 2 minds
Tomiyasu 7/10 - I think we have upgraded out right back with a player who can also play CB if we want to play 3 at the back. His passing and ball carrying stats are far better than Emerson who I initially wanted
Tavares 6/10 - I think this kids a punt. Sporting fans thinks he lacks intelligence and one signed up on another Arsenal forum to mock the signing. He can look to have loads of flair in his highlights though and he looks physically imposing
Ramsdale 6/10 - I mean I think he probably displaces Leno but it seems a none essential buy that doesn't necessarily improve us. Again he might be much better playing out from the back than Leno
Lakonga 7/10 - Looks like a diamond in the rough. I hope he can eventually bench Xhaka
Squad Balance 6/10 - I think an extra creative player who could play at 8 and a 6 to bench Xhaka were needed.
Overall 7/10 - I might be overrating. I think we've got in some good players. Once White, Gabriel, Tomiyasu and Tierney start together I think we look far more solid defensively. And the heart of great teams are built from the back.
