Every PL winning team has players like him.
Except the Invincibles winning team of course.
I agree we need a solid base, and if we bought a top CB, as well as Torreira, and maybe an exciting winger, we would have that.
We would certainly have a decent forward line, and maybe with Emery’s attention to detail, adaptability and defensive organisation, which Wenger didn’t have, we might see us genuinely challenge for a top four place.
I’m not suggesting we can do what the top PL clubs do, but if we don’t do anything, we will fall further behind.
It’s easier to attract world class players if you already have some at the club.
It’s also easier to keep the ones you have if you buy that level of player.
Possibly, but If we bought just Torreira and a CB, who could walk into the first team, with a bit of organisation by Emery, we could be a top four club again.
Yeah, there are a lot of areas to address, but we have a good enough foundation right now to add a few key pieces and make a huge difference. We can’t address them all nor should we. Opportunistic, cheap, and short-term experience for depth is very wise for us atm.
Invest hard in wing, CB after Torreira - next year go hard on GK, and some young attacking depth, LB.
Add one or two top players per, sprinkle in some youth, sprinkle in the tactical depth buy - that is our model given financial constraints. I’d personally rather buy 2 superstars and a Lichtenstein every year than 3 very good players.
Holy shit I was complaining about him but it took him like one match to change my mind. He’s gonna stick that Gucci boy on the bench, glad we’ve got a no nonsense leader type in the squad.
