Arsenal are going about this all wrong
Ok, so let's sign a player that is British that might not be even half the player Ceballos is, but yeah, let's persist with British cause they are hungry and nothing else.
If I'm not mistaken, Spurs are in the Champions League, got a new stadium, and a manager most of us would like, but they are just Tottenham, the likes of Ceballos should sign for them.
Some people on here believe the Ole hype about new transfer strategy a bit too much.
Admit it, who the hell had heard of a 21 year old Longstaff before we were linked with him?
Longstaff aside, I don't think we should be signing players on one year loans just to have to replace them again in a year.
Your positivity makes for a refreshing change to the general outlook of the forum.
We are linked with as many foreign players as Brits?
Why do you even follow an English side with this attitude? You could follow a Spanish side with all of those sexy sounding names..
Loads of posters. Go dig up old threads. He was highlighted as a very good player from his brief run of games last season.
Tierney to Napoli would have been something no one would have thought about a few months ago. Such a random transfer.
Arsenal have 240m in cash reserves. Surely it's the will of the owners, and not cash that's the issue. 25m will be enough for Tierney. If they get that done, they'd improve massively. 60m for Zaha will be enough.
Yeah sign a player on loan and develop them for some other team
Surely that's better than buying someone who isn't good enough in the first place? Also, what if the loan player could improve our chances in the league this season,giving us champions league to get better players?

Depends on which player we are talking about.
Loaning a seasoned player who can help us? yes
Loaning a young player who needs time to develop? No.
At least if we have option to buy then yeah, not a dry loan to help some other team.
Instead of buying player who isn't good enough, we should sign players who are good enough instead of developing some other club's players.
We better hope we are signing players who are good enough then.
Feck. We really dun it.

Makes sense right?
Getting Ceballos, Ndombele and Lo Celso would make Spurs a team that will definitely challenge for the title. Adding Sessegnon, Clarke and a young right back makes their future even brighter. They are on the rise and I think this could finally be a season when they win a trophy.
I'm just saying that people should temper their expectations with these young British players. Or any young player in actual fact. For example, Declan Rice was this amazing young English midfielder a few months ago, until Frankie De Jong showed how to be a much superior technically gifted deep lying playmaker/defensive midfielder! Nobody seem to rate Rice after that.
Premier League football has become so technical last few years, I'm sorry to say it, but foreign players have it in abundance, English players, pundits, Southgate even think they have it, when in reality they don't.
Should throw one of Jones, Rojo or Bailly in there to lower the fee. Brendan would take that I am sure
It is good strategy sign class players to slot straight in and then great potential players for the future.
Not even PL midtable teams do that now, unless they get player who is clearly better than what they have. Not sure how Ceballos is that player when we play Pogba in midfield.
£70m plus Phil Jonah...I would like that.
Did Spurs midfield of cloggers show up De Jong or do one off games only matter in certain circumstances?
Your views are so far out of date it's staggering to me. Young, English players are some of the most sought after in world football for a reason.
Milan's new coach is very good for players like Ceballos. And at Milan he'd play. Not so sure about Spurs. On the other hand if he plays at Spurs then that would be a better destination, stronger/faster league and CL
Thank you. All of a sudden English/British players are the bees knees of world football cause they got to a WC semi final, albeit by beating dross. Southgate is massively overrated too.
We are trying to buy the present class of 92' when in reality they could well turn out to be the class of Jones and Smalling.
We're also the current u17 world cup winners and won the u20 world cup 2 years ago.
England are producing some very good young talents right now..... But you clearly wouldn't want Sancho would you?
So Europe's top club were battering the door down for Daniel James and Sean Longstaff? I do not have a problem with getting some young Brits in, but are we going for the absolute best or just the ones who are easy to get? I want us to bring somebody in to lift this team, because if Pogba and Lukaku go it could be an exceptionally average team, due to the players who have underachieved and are still here.
Would be the dream
We absolutely should offer them a Defender + cash. I think £70m + Jones is what they would go for. Doubt they'd be interested in Rojo, Bailly is worth more, would probably go abroad and we aren't selling Lindelof, Smalling or Axel.
Also as much as City are a better team right now, I think we're a better option for him. He'd be our best defender, potential Captain in a few seasons and isn't he a Utd fan?
Also if we've actually bid, that means we've sounded out his preferred option. Bids don't usually come in randomly, things will have been spoken about with him, his agent and Leicester.

Winning these titles mean zilch if those players do not push on. Winning the F.A. Youth Cup does not mean you automatically have your next generation of club side. It is down to ambition and good coaching, which we appear to have at national level. It does not mean Manchester United have it at club level.
If we were interested he would be quoted for £20 million with some add ons.
So maybe we need to give some of these players a chance?
Look at the difference between Foden and Sancho.
Ones flirting with the first team, while ones playing for England and could easily fetch a transfer fee of 100m
Maybe sometimes we buy a Longstaff and it pays off. Liverpool didn't do bad with the Robertson transfer, but you wouldn't have wanted that either at the time I take it?
We've tried with many proven players over the last few years and look how that's worked out?
It's literally just some young Brits? Even then are we pretending we signed one of the best young RB in Europe because he's English?
Liverpool became the best side in Europe with these kind of signings. Just look at their transfer rumor threads and you'll see the same snob attitude towards Mane etc yet here we are again not giving anyone a chance.
Maybe we are planning around Pogba etc staying and it's not this grand mystery if they stay or not? Why can't we judge the business by the end of the window instead of doomsday scenarios that probably wont even happen?
It's a team game. Spurs have a technically gifted manager which had Sissoko and Eriksen in midfield. They are not English.
England u21's were technically outclassed in the Euros just past.
I'm sorry, but I just don't rate a lot of British players as potential world class. I think it's just a British mentality hype thing. We needed a right back, AWB fits the bill. Longstaff though! Much better options in world football for that position
Funny how Spurs build a new stadium, yet are managing to sign players, yet Arsenal did the same and couldn't.
And it has been rejected
