Hi Ed
Not a rumor more a thought
Why sign a very expensive 19 year old who's only ambition will be to move on in 2-3 years time after we have made him a better player?
Goonerbm.
{Ed001's Note - to make a profit and because he improves the team for 2-3 years.}

It really is a simple as that ed. I think that it would be great for the club.
{Ed001's Note - anyway, you might be able to surround him with better talent, good enough to make him happy to stay, plus it is possible he may grow to love the club.}

I honestly don't get the fans worrying about money. First we don't spend enough then we spend to much. Arsenal need to make a statement that makes people realise that we are one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Would 1 super signing make the difference to Spurs last season becoming champions next season? Possibly
City? Not likely
Utd Liverpool Arsenal extremely unlikely.
We are a lot further away than that imo, for one player to make that make up for all the weaknesses that have held us back for a decade or more he needs to be better than anything we've ever had before, better than Bergkamp better than Henry better than Adams better than Ian Wright.
I just can't see how any of our single best players from the past could possibly turn our current squad into champions even if we kept Sanchez as well.
I think we are a lot further away than people realise as team, maybe not as pound for pound individuals but as a team the gap between us and a genuine title bid is huge.

No ones suggesting that if we buy mbappe that it will bring success? That's not the point of this at all! It's intent. We have already got a decent LB for free. Maybe a few more. I don't know but you have to try or is all lost no matter what we do this summer?

Europa league, league cup and FA cup are in my opinion realistic achievable targets for our current set of to have a realistic chance of getting.
The premier league or even mounting a serious challenge for it? How is a set up that has been so exposed so many times before going to suddenly show the character and the mentality needed to run, compete and win a marathon? Why this season? What has suddenly changed?
I have for years been saying all I wanted was to see us genuinly compete in the premier league again but last season made me realize that is simply beyond the current set up at the club and if Sanchez can't drag it out of them then it probably just isn't there to be dragged out at all.
Without anything dramatically changing like a new manager with different ways views ideas or wholesale dismantling of the cosy club under the current manager why will next seasons premier league campaign be any different to the last 10?
I can't see it but mind you I don't expect Leicester to win the 2015/ 16 title or for Brexit or Trump to happen so maybe I will be wrong yet again but as we stand I just can't logically convince myself of any reason why this time will any different to the rest league wise so I'm saving all my excitement for the 3 cups rather than spend another season letting my disappointment in the league spoil the entire season for me.
