Jesus Christ....
He always goes on about how much money other teams can spend and that we can't compete with them. I'm not sure anyone expects us to pay £110m for Pogba, and those clubs don't buy every available player on the market. There's no reason why we shouldn't be buying a centre back and a striker.
We've bought a centre back.
The striker issue is another matter. There seems to me to be a shortage of top strikers in Europe at the moment; perhaps we will find one by the start of the season, perhaps we won't. Either way, there seems to be little point on blowing the transfer budget on someone no better than, or worse than, our current options.
Well the point is that Giroud is our only option, so if it's not someone better we still need a backup. As for the defender, he's one for the future, no? A Wenger project if you like. I'm not sure Arsene is expecting a kid from League 1 football to come in and play straight away.
