It looks good but will all end in tears...players with big reputations and even bigger wages. The centre-back seems good but Wilshere failed to reach his potential at Arsenal and even struggled when on loan at Bournemouth with poorer quality players around him. There is a reason why a team like Dortmund are happy to see Yarmolenko leave - flashes of brilliance but underwhelming over a season. In fact, much like Arnoutovic and Lanzini. They want to play the mythical 'West Ham' way and feel these signings will appease the fans, but it smacks of opportunism rather than genuine long-term ambition.
Their wage bill must be huge, surely?
