Honestly you are both right. I’m going to be really surprised if we don’t find a way to improve our central mid options before the window ends.
Wenger will come out and say that we aren’t able to find better options that Rambo/Xhaka but in reality, quite a few players have moved who are comfortably better than Jack/Coq/Elneny.
Disappointing going into a full season without uprgrading/improving our creativity in CM. It seemed like we were really on the cusp of securing Lemar about a month ago and, fwoof, nothing.
It looks to be an oversight by Arsenal now. The tittle-tattle of outgoings and the time scale they would have accounted for all of this, may not be meeting the ends they aimed for. Such a weird scenario as Wenger has been so verbally staunch regarding Alexis staying this summer and yet the club haven’t backed him up by getting rid of players/buying new ones in the process.
It makes this summer’s dealings somewhat hollow, as I’m really pleased with both if the signings we’ve made so far + Alexis’ situation. You just feel that if we bought in another 1 or 2 first team players, we’d be highly satisfied with our lot.
