daredevil It's our conservatism and lack of creativity in the market that is annoying. It's exactly about the "probability" of success that Arteta is worried about, like his football. Always safe, seldom courageous.
Big clubs around us are all signing the next big thing, hoping they break the ceiling, while we sign much more expensive players that clubs have tried and know their ceiling is capped and is trying to move them on.
If we keep doing this we won't progress much as a club, while we wonder why clubs get Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Estevao, Barcola, Doue etc while we fiddle with Madueke and probably next year will make a move for Nicolas Jackson when Chelsea is trying to ship him out. It's lazy scouting.
Like you said, we are reportedly trying to pay them almost double of what they paid for Madueke last January, despite him not progressing much since his move from PSV. It's mind boggling
