Because he realises that league titles are generally won by having the best defence.with Richy or Solanke? I'd feel 0 confidence.
Arteta just loves buying defenders, he's a defence first safety conscience manager.
He's not wrong.Because he realises that league titles are generally won by having the best defence.

I. It's flying the wrong way
II. London City has no trees or Burger King
Am trying to work out how City sell the best player on the planet from the last few years to Barca for £65m but won't sell their 5th choice winger for less than £85m
It's being sent to pick them up.Fake news -

Ah yes, of course. And back via Luton for the Burger KingIt's being sent to pick them up.
It will be odd to have got in 8 players who could all be legitimately considered as vying to start games. (I'm not including Dubravka here)If we and all three this transfer window then I can't think of a better one in the Premier League era?
Think the deals are to do with the sell on clause for Marmoush. Inlfate the Savinho price, lower the Marmoush one and stiff Frankfurt. I don't think the values reported are a indication of thier acutal worth. It's all for the accounts.
I mean its not my money and I suppose for that reason should I care? BUT thats alot of money for Savinho, ALOT of moneyI think it can only be this, just seen an article posted on Reddit where Savinho is listed as deal agreed at something like 93 million euros rising to 97. I think we will find we get Marmoush for a decent price and people (are already) will go mad about “How much for Savinho?!” Not realising that it will work out around 60-70 million on each, but will be presented as Savinho going for double what Marmoush has.

That’s unfortunate for Frankfurt then. Not a great way to behave if that’s what’s happening.Think the deals are to do with the sell on clause for Marmoush. Inlfate the Savinho price, lower the Marmoush one and stiff Frankfurt. I don't think the values reported are an indication of thier acutal worth. It's all for the accounts.
Ultimately people can speculate but the clubs won't actually confirm publicly what has been paid for each player, will they?It is, and if I was spending my money Savinho wouldn’t be even in the same post code as that fee. If I’m honest, I’d go for Gakpo over Savinho if it was a straight choice.
However, as ridiculous as the fee looks (and we haven’t seen the Marmoush one yet) I think it will turn out that any fee we pay for Savinho won’t actually be the fee we pay for Savinho, because part of Marmoush fee will be hidden within it so City can avoid paying Frankfurt more.
The actual problem I think we’re causing ourselves is that people will very quickly forget why the fees were potentially arranged in such a way - so if Savinho comes in and doesn’t hit the ground running he’s going to have all sorts of stories and views on him of “how much?!” The media and fans saying he isn’t worth the money for the output, and it’s going to heap a ton of pressure on him really early on. Despite the fact that I do think it eh fees will just be accounting admin more than anything.
TBH I think Savinho is 40mill absolute tops given how the last few seasons have gone at City.
