Can I just say for the record, that I would rather we buy rashford for £40m than spend £60m+ on williams from bilbao - apart from the fact that I worry that williams is another adama traore (pace and power but zero brains), rashford is premier league ready and knows the league and will need no time to bed in, plus will by all accounts be over £20m cheaper. I have always believed that there is still a good player in rashford, and I think that he showed enough on loan at villa to back that opinion up
I know I am repeating myself here (nothing new I know), but it honestly baffles me how many fans are prioritising signing a winger after signing a striker - ask yourselves, did martinelli or the disappearing captain contribute more to the team last season ? I understand why a lot of fans still arent convinced by martinelli and want to upgrade, but surely upgrading the attacking midfielders position should be a much bigger priority ? Personally I think a player like Eze in the 10 would prompt a big step forward from saka next season too - for starters he would receive the ball much quicker, but also we have all seen the photo's from the psg and victims games where saka has the ball and has 3 or 4 opposition players facing him, and part of that stems from the disappearing captain constantly drifting over to saka's wing and dragging more opposition players into saka's already limited space
It also amuses me when you go onto social media and you see AFC fans predicting their starting Arsenal line up for next season and their back ups, and some absolute gobshites have partey in the starting 11 with zubimendi as back up - I dont know much about zubimendi but fcuk me if he isnt better than partey then we shouldnt be even considering buying him. Mind you every single team prediction for next season has captain invisible in the starting 11, and if that is the case then we can write off next season right now
) but is it a case that anyone has to be better than the current forwards.
