Bellerin close to loan move, not sure what to think, I used to rate him but he seems a bit error prone. It really depends what system we play, I think he's ok as a wingback but less so in a back four.
Actually I do know what to think, it's another annoying loan meaning his value just trickles away whilst he's on loan, if we don't want him then just sell him rather than a loan. I don't like this revolving door system of you loan a player out and then buy a backup player or whatever, just keep the players you were going to loan as backup players and use the money to buy players that will improve the first team.
Sometimes we take it to extremes with the likes of Saliba, spend £27m on them then just loan them out constantly, what is the point in that. That perhaps makes sense to get a cheap youth player some experience but if you are spending £27m they must warrant a place on the bench at least after a year or two on loan.
For all the talk of Arsenal having to manage their finances properly, stingy owners etc which maybe was an issue 10 years ago, recently we seem to be masters of our own downfall with the amount of money getting frittered away. You got your Ozil was getting £70k/day to sit on twitter all day, loads of £20-30m players floating around, £72m on Pepe (who isn't terrible, but he's not the amazing bargain everyone claimed), Willian we've somehow dodged the last two years of his contract but that was still £1m/month in wages. Strikers costing in excess of £40m sat on the bench. Its got to stage where if people moan about other clubs spending huge wedges you have to look at yourself first, yes we don't have the budget of a City or a Chelsea or a PSG but that's all the more reason to spend the money we do have wisely.
