    Where has that been said. We need a minimum 3 first team players - RCB, RW and a 2nd CF or a GK.

    Think it was Luke Edwards who said that we were looking at 2 first team players and 2 prospects, presumably for the first team squad though.

    Do you want any of these?
    Igor Jesus
    Cuiabano
    Jair Cunha
    Enzo Le Fee (required loan to perm so doesn't really count)

    If not then the speed of them being brought in is irrelevant.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd like to have 5 signings completed by now, so we can sit back and enjoy the rest of the window, but I suspect our speed has been hampered by leaving CL to the last day and top players wanting a big payday from a Man Utd, etc.

    Agreed, rather not rush it but the counter to that is they have to get the players in. RCB, RW starters CF and GK back up/competition will do for me.

    Jair Cunha looks like a good young CB prospect with decent feet considering his Dan Burn height...

    Dunno any of them, they sound like some heavies for a Mexican mafia cartel.

    Madueke for around £45m is the latest rumour. Thought we wouldn't be interested in knobheads

    It is a bit odd that we've released about 30 messages on Twitter about signing a young player on a free who we plan to loan out.

    Not sure why this fella isn't going straight in to our first team squad.

    it’s a concern mate. It screams desperation to me. Nothing that’s happening makes me think this summer is going to be anything other than a massive disappointment. Feels like our main objective is to cling on to our better players, then treat that as if it’s some kind of win.

    Book yourself a nice long summer holiday and turn your wi-fi off mate. Come back in August and celebrate all the signings.
    <cheers>

    He's already played with Tino, Gordon, Hall, Guehi, McAtee & Trafford. Maybe we're just looking to get the band back together?

    I think we'd all be decrying this kind of outlay on a 17 year old.

    I guess Arsenal have the headroom to allow for that on top of looking at Sesko / Gyokores where we don't

    So i reckon we have deals lined up and will announce from 1st July onwards due to PSR losses reset.

    Cordero is technically academy so doesn't count.

    It might be a smokescreen.

    This kid is class. He is going to be a star.

    Not a chance, mate, there’s zero need - we can structure deals to pay from July 1st. We had this kind of comment a year ago.
