If this club renew Laca contract, then I'll know they're dumb.
Also, the person deceiving Amn that he should stick to Midfield when he can actually play Rb no try for him career at all. Since he's so adamant on playing Midfield, the club should sell... Amn, lacazette, willock, bellerin, xhaka, nketiah.

Buy all the positions you talked about except Cf. Instead we should buy a winger.

And here's my reason.
We have balogun. Why I wouldn't want us to throw him in next season, but then, next season ought to be a big season for him. We have Auba to Mann that position and balogun to transition in as 2nd striker in view of displacing him. Also, martinelli should be played on both the wings and cf so that if anything happens to Auba, we know we have to able strikers to fill in the void.
Buying a young striker like isak is potentially killing balogun slot and Martinelli hope of playing as 9 for us.

Also, I've been taking note of isak in Spain. While his first season wasn't so good, last season was good and he improved considerably. I wanted to watch him this coming season to make up my mind, but this euros I feel have opened up people's eyes to him.
Anyways, I feel we should just be shrewd in that our striking department and buy a very good goal scoring winger and creator. Auba can still give us 1 more season, then from next season, Balo and Marti will think of taking over. We just have 2 wingers in saka and Pepe. Marti can play wing too but we need another right footed winger. Willian can be coming 85min to close out game or he can just be eternally glued to bench and/or playing carabao cup

You are assuming Auba will be Auba. But I am doubting that seriously. If not that he has extended already, I would have said release him. Even if we put him up for sale tomorrow, no one will ask of him without cutting our throats.

We need another striker. He does not have to be Isak, but someone that is decent enough. There are some decent strikers in leagues eastern Europe that can serve us as both a backup for Auba and support for Balogun. Martinelli for me isnt cut out for CF.

Ben arfa is consistent now just like nasri
Pepe is not the talent I'm talking about, there's no way I will watch Pepe once and rate him same with martial
But their are others like haaland, mbappe,saka even Tierney you don't need binocular or watching multiple times to rate

Ben arfa which consistent? He's one of the most inconsistent player with such great talent same as Martial. If you look at Martial on his good day and claim he's not a talent, then "hmmm", I dunno what to say...

Lol... You're talking about his bad day as a whole.
I'm talking about Martial on his good day, that if you bump into him without knowing, you might want him in your team straight.
Martial on his good day is calm and collected, have a good close control, can score, can dribble very well.
That's how talented he is.

But can he replicate such high performance like that weekly?
That's the consistency he's lacking, and that's why we can't use 1 match to judge someone

Let's look it this way. Auba can't go to the bench(cos he has signed contract and a huge pay, plus he's the captain). Meaning he'll play most matches, especially as we don't have any Europe distraction. Buying another striker will surely surely take away balogun growth time, cos I don't expect Auba to sit out for that striker. So the best is to use that to grow balogun, and in most cases blend balogun and auba up top together. (Just the way Wenger blended henry and Rvp and prepared Rvp for the striker role)
Everyone knows Auba isn't auba of before, but one thing I'm certain is that arsenal as a club won't bench auba esp when he's still a core member of the team.
Let that money be better served for winger.
Well, the only reason I might consider we buy a striker is if auba will agree to become 2nd choice striker. Finish!
Else, if we buy another striker, we might as well loan out balogun than killing his career on the bench. Cos definitely balogun won't see game time at all

Spy360:

Let Kroenke suffer loss. If White is better than what we've got, no qualms. I doubt it though.

Whether white is better than what we got or not is irrelevant. Even if balon dor van dijk or Ramos is available for 50m, it'll be foolishness to buy any now. For crying out loud, our defence isn't doing so badly and we still have saliba to add to that list(who himself isn't bad on his loan). What we need is creativity and goal scorers and even fullbacks. Adding another Cb is foolishness and misplaced priority of the highest order.

And this isn't kroenke loss but arsenal as a club loss... It just shows if the reports are genuine that Edu and Arteta and Scams

Jodera:

How on earth can one match be enough to convince me to spend millions on a player?

You have not taken the possibility of injuries into consideration and the fact that the AFCON and Olympics will draw away many youngsters.

That aside, with Auba aging, Balogun may become our ESR next season if we fail to get a decent support for him. Besides Auba will leave after next season, so it will also be a safe period to try out his replacement.

It's a senseless deal offcourse but it's not my money that's my point.

Even if it's Arsenal's loss, it's still Kroenke that owns it. Nor be so?

Well, I admit I didn't factor in afcon but I'm not sure most of our important players(youngsters) will go for Olympics.

Keeping fingers crossed sha on balogun. Just wanna see what he got in store next season for us.

I don't want to put much burden on Balogun. We must allow him to develop slowly.

Balogun is 19yrs. I don't see how he can't vie for 2nd choice striker in view of becoming a first team striker the following season

At least, let's know our stand on him and make him ready. It's not as if he's a 16 or 17yr old guy oo.
By next season(after this coming season) he'll be 20yrs. I don't think that will be too young to become a first team player if he's ready

That's what I am saying. He should be a second striker. I don't want the situation that happened with Saka when we had to depend solely on him for chance creation.

Well... Even tho they have one of the most dumbest coach, I honestly don't see him seeing much minutes in this euros. So many people are sure ahead of him in the pecking order.

It is not even about pecking order. His line up is always disjointed. For example, Sterling and Foden are not used to playing with a proper striker, I think this is why Kane is finding it difficult to score. A team comprising of Sancho,Kane, Grealish shouldn't find it difficult to score goals. Saka is everything he needs in a winger. Good crosses, dribbling and defensive awareness.

Very clueless.

Reason why I said Southgate is one of the most dumbest coach. But let's look at facts.

Saka is a winger, so the position he's fighting with includes Rashford, sterling, Sancho, grealish, and I'm sure he's the least amongst those 4 in pecking order(at least according to Southgate)
If it's left back, chilwell and Shaw are also both above him in pecking order too.
So even if Southgate head correct and he starts putting right players at their proper positions, Saka might still not see shirt or minutes

Ordinarily, if I'm Southgate, Mount won't play my Am role(may be cm) cos I'll give that to saka or any of foden or grealish but we all know he (Southgate) is not tactical enough to think such

Well, I just know that as he's invited, he'll hardly see minutes, same as Calvert Lewin.
