Considering the amount of time Wenger has been rebuilding, and the players he has got at the club who are at their peak, as well as very few injuries, this season has proved Wenger is no ;longer good enough to manage a top European club.
Work permit. Third party ownership. Potential massive fee. I see too much hurdles for Arsenal to sign a Brazilian talent. Sanhelli might have connections since Barcelona was active on the Brazilian market, but donāt think this one is realistic.
Watford got a permit for Richarlison. Fee would similarly be between the 50th & 75th percentile, has more u20 international appearances than Richarlison had at the time (these are taken into account now) and has played in their version of the Champions League. Heād have a strong case.
Our squad needs serious investment if we are going to get back to where we need to beā¦we have an aging defence and an ineffective midfieldā¦plus we havenāt really replaced some of the players we have sold over the last two windows or spent all the money we received from their sale/savings from their wages or the profit made by the clubā¦two new CBs are critical as is a strong DM who can run our midfield. I would still love to see Mahrez in our team alongside Ozil and Mikiā¦but whoever we sign we need to improve strength and depth everywhere in the squad and if that means we need to sell a few higher profile players like Bellerin then so be it.
In this game of football you get some players right and you get some wrong. Thatās how it works. Stones will be the best British CB of his generation and Iām certain of that. And in a few years time Iāll either be really wrong or really right.
But thatās besides the point - this is about Mustafi. And heās just not very good.
