Bro, I am just asking who are these players that were available that Edu didn’t make a move for. Give me one name that you believe they had a chance to get and missed out on.
From what I see, Edu and team made a move for two big money targets and either backed out of negotiations when price got ridiculous (which I think is the right move) or accepted that the player was not up for transfer (Caicedo).
What Edu and team did instead was to bring in to players that can help the team NOW while still leaving Arsenal flexible to go for their real targets in the summer.
To say that Edu had “no plans” of getting midfield depth is hyperbolic. I think Edu and Arteta have done enough to this stage to prove that they have a plan and are sticking to it. And so far it is working. So why complain?
Arsenal aren’t “stuck” with Jorginho… he has a 1.5 year contract. If they want to move him on in the summer they can.
Two of the other 30 year olds you say we are “stuck” with going into next season are Xhaka and Partey… the engine driving our team to the top of the league.
Arsenal are moving smart and did well to strengthen this January. Let’s stop the narrative that any player that isn’t £100 mil is garbage.
Please educate us. No one is asking for an 80m player in January breh. All we needed was a solid replacement for Partey and Jorginho aint it. Imagine Xhaka and Jorginho starting important games down the stretch. That's where we are today unless some of our defenders can fill that role.
