Arsenal cant afford those players you are thinking. One of the biggest problems we have had is completely ignoring the championship. For some reason the club thinks its above it.
What would Grealish cost today? 70m.
Watkins was signed for 30m. Again another 60-70m.
DCL again something similar.
It's too late. We need to be picking them up in the championship, loaning them out for a year or two and then reaping the rewards.
If we continue to fall down the league maybe something will change and we do start identifying these players in the lower leagues of England but I dare say the people at the top dont see it as glamorous enough.
The thread is the wishlist tbf. And I reckon they could afford Grealish/DCL provided we were either the cl next season and we sold a load if deadwood. So highly unlikely.
Lamptey and Bissouma we could 100% get next summer.
