    This talk of Mbappe to Arsenal doesn’t make sense to me.

    I know he’s a “once in a generation” talent but I just don’t see how he’d fit in with what the Gunners are building. He’s the right age profile, but I don’t see him in this team.

    What am I missing?

      I’ll tell you what you are missing… delusion, and lots of it. I just can’t see us competing on a financial level with other teams.

      Don’t get me wrong, I would love for us to be a in a position where we could sign a player of his caliber, but we aren’t quite there yet.

      We’ve never been the club to throw enormous salaries at players. It’s like Wenger said, “We don’t buy superstars, we make them.”

      Wasn’t this Mbappe to Arsenal rumour started by the Turkish youtuber? Either way he’s got too much baggage to not be a distraction here, I’m more than happy with what we have

      If you go after a player like Mbappe, you make the team work with him in it by hook or by crook. Wouldn’t worry as it isn’t happening!
