      I’m still on the fence. Seems like wayyyy too much money.

      Quick! Someone make a Welcome to Arsenal | 8k | Despacito Remix Compilation so I can get on the hype train.

      Don’t let Chelsea fool you, there is a great player in that body, but Chelsea has been a black pit of death for attackers lately. Werner, Lukaku, Sterling, Havertz, Ziyech, Auba, Felix, Mudryk, Cuca (defender I know) are all great players but just haven’t been able to show that while at Chelsea.

        I don’t doubt what you say is true. But he doesn’t actually tackle or solve any of our problems. Even if we’re bringing him in as Saka cover, his end product has always been vastly inferior.

        Same. I believe there’s talent but at that price and his development at Chelsea though? I’d be wary.

      At this point I’m willing to let Arteta and Edu cook. Vieira aside, there hasn’t really been a bad signing per se. I’m not even ready to call Vieira bad, just less impressed by him than I’d like to be.

        I think Fabio still deserves some time. This pre-season will be so important for him. Hopefully it’s just a case of it taking time for him to settle into a new country and new league.
