Third option is the George Graham way and look at the Football League. I know the game has changed a hell of a lot since but there must still be some rough diamonds down there surely whatever their nationality.

If only we had a proper scouting system. :lol:

Sadly they were all sacked and Edu & his bum Boys put in charge. :banghead:
We don't really bother with scouting players these days. We just sign whoever or whatever some fucking agent tells us or just find out which players are out of contract at the chavs and offer them 5 year deals on double their money.

from the Metro today:

Manchester City have entered the race to sign Brighton centre-back Ben White ahead of Arsenal, according to reports.

The Gunners saw their initial £42 million bid for White, which included £3m worth of add-ons, rejected by Brighton last month.
That's great, let City have him. We could dodge a large bullet here.

That's ok we could throw in Willian as well providing we agree to pay his wages in perpetuity.

And then there is the rumour/theory that Martinez-Lite does not pick most of the targets we go after but that Fucking Edu does!

I've never liked this Continental bollocks idea of a director of football that picks players and basically hands them over to a manager to try and build a team. If -and its a big if- we are doing that then we are truly fucked. :roll:

But to be honest when you look at the shit we've signed through Fucking Edu's old agent buddy Joorabchian, would it surprise me? Nope.

So we all agree that Arteta is a poor manager and his decision making in terms of the younger players is suspect but on the other hand we are advocating going out and spending £50M on a young CB to replace the ones we have when we already have a potentially good CB who Arteta won't give a chance...... Am I missing something here :?

Personally the last thing I want to see is our 'Management' going anywhere near young players with potential when you look at the treatment of Saliba and especially Martinelli

Well one things for sure, if we’re mid-table come Christmas after bringing in 5 or 6 players then Arteta will be gone…..and hopefully Edu too!!

And another season will have been wasted - pep's cone boy will continue to cripple us, we will eventually sack him and spend ages replacing him. and then the new manager will spend the second half of the season assessing what he has to work with

🚨 Exclusive: Arsenal defender William Saliba looks set to join Marseille on loan. Not done but 20yo has picked #OM from many options & now clubs need to agree deal. #AFC want him to get full season playing — still part of long-term thinking @TheAthleticUK https://t.co/RemZlyyb5J
