We can laugh at Arsenal as much as we want but they’ve still got a very good squad and are signing players... yes they’ve a dodgy defence but ours wasn’t great last season and we’re arguably going into the new season even weaker at the back.
We’ve pursued Sessegnon and Lo Celso all summer... clearly Poch wants them both. Finalise the deals and stop fannying about with potential better players with a much higher risk of something going tits up and then ultimately jeopardising deals for Sess and GLC because we started to play sill buggers. If someone like Dybala is available then ‘if’ we still have sufficient funds and/or can make space for him then go for it.
attack was never an issue for them, their shambolic defense was the issue, and so far, they've only lost first team defenders this year, and added none. And they're probably gonna be paying for him for the next 4 years, so it's gonna fuck with their budget for a while for a player they don't really need.
If Arsenal sign Pepe and we've just brought in Ndombele - I swear to god.

The one word that's a bit off is 'Clearly'
There is no clearly when it comes to this window for us,only NDombele.
Do you know what Levy had for breakfast?
With their fast attack against our inexperienced full backs, and our deadly attack against their shambolic defence, the derby will be 7-7 this seasonIf Arsenal sign Pepe and we've just brought in Ndombele - I swear to god.
Barcelona are rumoured to want Lacazette on the recommendation of Griezmann.To be fair to Arsenal signing Pepe isnt going to solve their problems, in midfield or in defence. I cant see how signing Pepe, isnt going to mean getting rid of one of Lacazette or Aubameyang.
For me Aubameyang has to go simply because of age.
What you on about? We’ve had multiple pieces of solid ITK that we’ve been watching Sessegnon for 2 years and trying to sign him since summer 2018 and solid ITK that we’ve also been after GLC since the end of last season.

This crossed my mind but I didn't want to say it and tempt fate.To be fair to Arsenal signing Pepe isnt going to solve their problems, in midfield or in defence. I cant see how signing Pepe, isnt going to mean getting rid of one of Lacazette or Aubameyang.

But yet they aren't signed. So until they are it's largely irrelevant
We've addressed our biggest issue with the player who was literally the best available in his position, and one of the best talents in world football.So they finish behind us yet continue to do business ... Meanwhile we still have in areas of our first team, problems that we finished the season with.
Tick tock.
One player doesn't make a window, we needed to strengthen, we're behind the curve due to our lack of business the prior 18 months and we're now 13 days away from the window shutting.We've addressed our biggest issue with the player who was literally the best available in his position, and one of the best talents in world football.
As for the other links, Lo Celso is only due back to Betis this week and the Dybala stuff has only just come out. We've pretty much done as much business as most of our rivals, and more than the rest.
The difference Allison and VVD made to pool a great exampleWe’re doing exactly the same thing as Arsenal, losing defenders and pursuing creativity. If you want to win things to need a solid GK, defence, midfield and attack. You won’t win anything with a great attack and crap defence.
