Its not really 1 player is it though?
We have bought Ighalo, Cavani and now in for Arnautovic. Clearly a pattern.

If we’re honest we don’t have a quality project to offer frenkie, let’s get someone else in who can upgrade our midfield
Based on performances over recent seasons. There are at least 100 midfielders we could get who would be an improvement on mcfred. The fact we are only after one player is a testament to our lack of ambition, the fact might not even got one a testament to our sheer incompetence

Thanks to @Compton22 in the Frenkie de Jong thread:
And yet still wouldn't be enough.
Even if De Jong somehow agreed to come, more should have been done this summer ontop of him and a CB
What does this even mean?
Jamie Jackson's got to be one of the worst 'journalists' out there...OK I am getting a little bored now of ten hag playing it safe with his signings, he is showing a real lack experience at the top level.
In every metric that can be brought in to play this guy ( and I hesitate to say "journalist" ) is absolutely fecking awful.What does this even mean?
It does appear ten hag is doing most of the identifying of targets which is pretty baffling when he didn't have that responsibility at ajax and his prior experience is pretty limited
Really good player. Probably too much of a gamble that he could handle such a step up, but someone I think I suggested in the championship thread.
No chance no previous ties with ETH or Ajax. As much as I'd love it to be sarcasm it seems the scouts are adjacent to the direction of summer activities.
Seems ideal for the buy and loan back treatment. He needs games to keep developing.
Yeah, would agree with that.
Yeah like RB (Dalot & AWB not good enough) RW (left footed) and ST (box presence and build up)
And a CM more or CDM
We'll be in for Cyriel Dessers soon.
That came out of the blue
Oh for fecks sake Arnautovic and Rabiot. Lets get Ballotelli and Icardi as well and try to create a toxic 11
What the actual feck are we doing
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Well, Rabbit is clearly much better than McTominay
I think the obvious answer is that we are skint
It’s quite fascinating to see just how low the players we’re linked with now go; the press don’t even link us with middling players anymore, just straight up rubbish.
What have we become? *drops to floor, hands to the heavens awaiting divine correspondence.
Why have we been forsaken!? *Kirk Douglas like bellow.
We must be losing young fans and the single digit children by the bucketload. What and whom are they supposed to believe in or be enamoured by.

This is why I hate all the bullshit about the "new structure/regime".
We went into the summer without a plan and are going to attempt to panic buy the likes of Arnautovic and Rabiot. Same bullshit, different year, but some would have us believe that the club is changing.
I feel for Erik, he's been sold a lemon.

Please god no!
This is a really depressing summer.
It’s got the feeling now of that transfer deadline day when Arsenal bought like 5 guys including Squillaci.
You could see Fergie bringing in someone like Arnautovovic in a year when we just needed some cover but it would be a move from a position of strength. Similar to the Larsson loan deal back in the day.
Instead we are looking at short term fixes when we need to be signing young players on the up. If not Sesko then go and get another younger forward.
I hate to say it but essentially Arsenal look 18 months down the road from us. They let some bad eggs go who were on big wages (Ozil and Auba) and they’ve restructured around a promising group of younger players. We are still clinging on to some fantasy of this group coming good.

At least he is better than McFred.
Yup that's what I reckon too. We don't have the money to do a Chelsea style window. Shopping from the bargain bin.
Window is turning out to be a disaster.
