    Because there's a massive bidding war to get him to the PL?

    I missed that bit.

    All have a talent. You’re illustrating some of the premiership’s top players, which does nothing to further your point.

    Grealish is clearly talented, but there have been lots of questions about his attitude and application.
    He seems to have sorted that out since getting injured at the start of last season, but that's still not a very long time to rely on.
    Apparently he's had a good run in a deeper role, but I've not seen enough of him to judge.

    Maddison looks a good prospect.
    Seemed to get a bit carried away with the adulation at Norwich, but he was often their best player by a mile.
    Could do well in your midfield, if he's given the chance and he can stay awake.

    He's ****. Spurs fans would be saying the same if he was joining Arsenal.

    Hmmm. Might be a backup for the cups and the Europa league. We'll see. My issue is we are buying aged players with little to no resale value. Ridiculous.

    He was definitely never involved in a fixed match. Nope.

    They have to have a talent, yes. Kante’s Are his engine, His ability to spot danger and snuff it out,

    It’s not all about being Messi or Ronaldo.

    that'd be ridiculous buying him for 20 odd million to be a backup. As you say he's not even young!

    Since when did Arsenal's transfer dealings ever make sense.

    He was out of contract about five minutes ago, too. Bizarre.

    Not all. Some are there, but don’t belong there.

    IKR. Could have got him for nothing (if we actually needed him). This has all the hallmarks of a Wenger signing.

    His body may be gone, but his spirit still remains.

    That's true, repetition beats natural ability in the end.
