An Arsenal transfer window analysis – was it good, bad, or indifferent? We’re all pleased we got Partey, and of Aouar and himself, I believe we needed Thomas more.

Makes sense or saves cents: Arsenal’s transfer window scrutinized
So… after links to Boateng, Lemar (deja vu??) and rumours of Auba leaving, we finally ended up with Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari as loaned defenders. Soares has PL experience with Southampton and won the Euros with Portugal and the GOAT (Ronaldo) in 2016. Pablo Mari was in the recent CWC final with Liverpool, […]
