Yeah, but it's pretty clear that's not really the main concern for many of the naysayers. It's all about how it looks, how it compares, perceived value, the vibes etc.
I also don't see that as a legitimate reason to be annoyed. All signs, reports and rumours point to us still being in for a CM, a CAM a keeper and potentially a RB and CF. We may not sign all of them, but I find it hard to believe it's going to be because Edu can't do the sums.
All of us can see us going into the season with Elneny being Partey's partner. A guy who Wenger deemed not good enough half a season after buying him is going to be our joint first choice midfielder in 2021/22.
Who is the CM we're strongly linked with? Neves? How inspiring. And it's dependent on getting rid of Xhaka, which we'll probably do for a pathetic fee.
AM? Do we want Ødegaard or Maddison, because to me they're quite different? Do we have a plan?
I'm very excited about White, actually, he looks the business. But our most critical needs aren't close to being filled. As usual.
The RB situation is puzzling. Is Bellerin off or not? Why is it taking so long? He's been linked with a move away for years now. Why is he still here when we need to sign a proper modern full back?
