Since taking over at Arsenal in 2019, Mikel Arteta has been trying to return the club to prominence. Fortunately, he has had success in doing so. Season after season, his team has been growing in strength.
After the heights they reached last season, finishing second, all that remains for Arteta to do is win the league, and then his time at Arsenal will be used as a perfect model for any team keen to improve.
Winning the Premier League next season won’t be easy, and Arteta knows that. He knows he may need to unleash his “dream team” next season, which could help him not only win the league, but dominate the football world for years to come. As he said via Marca: ‘We have already regenerated the squad, with a very young average, and to generate performance and value. We have some owners aligned with us to build a winning team that is sustained over time without so much investment.”
Progress in assembling his dream team is already being made, as Kai Havertz is joining on a huge deal.
Following Havertz, the club will spend big to gift him Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and Romeo Lavia. With his dream team at stake, Arteta is keen to take advantage of the transfer window, as he believes, “But the demand is increasing, and you have to go to the market to find what we do not have to continue improving.”
So it appears that once he has finished building his winning team, we can expect to see much less transfer action in the future…

Concure!! If your foundation/core is solid then it could lead to longterm financial savings as you will only need minimal future investment.
ALWAYS FORWARD!!
Arsenal need huge investment in the squad to remain second on the table.
But Arsenal transfer records have to be broken this summer if we are seriously considering wrestling away the big jug.
The minimum practical estimate in spending is £255 mil.
This list is well documented
Rice £100 mil
Lavia £50 mil
Havertz £65mil
Timber £40 mil
Arteta has become another Wenger in using sugar coated words to deceive fans. He did not tell fans that he, Arteta, has spent over 400m pounds in the last three years, without making up to 100m pounds in sales! He did not tell fans that while Man City’s net spending on players in the last five years is collectively 225m pounds, ours is a whopping 477m pounds that is mostly led by Arteta’s poor purchases. The likes of Lokonga, Kiwior, F Vieira, Mari, Cedric to mention but few, are series of poor purchases Arteta used in wasting our hard earned money. If not that the board used there power to bring in Partey, who Arteta rejected initially, only God would have know our faith by now! Yet he want to push him out by all cost. Partey only featured in one of our six premiership lost this season, against City. Arteta removed him against Everton and brought in his favourite, Jorginho, our opponent scored immediately. Arteta may not be what we think he is.
Liverpool has enquired about Lavia and some say they have bid for him whereas we haven’t.

This is an interesting one to watch as it is reported we have personal terms agreements with the kid.
Secondly we have close contact with the kid as he shares the same agent with Saka.
But Arsenal seems preoccupied with Rice and Timber at the moment, in which both cases personal terms agreement already met.
As we have seen in the past having agreed personal terms with a player and having that player saying he wants to come doesn’t mean that he will sign. Agreeing a fee with the selling club seems to be our sticking point in all our transfers.
No need for Lavia.
Sign Rice and keep partey.

I am in agreement with you except in one very important part.
It would be smart to have the 19 yrs old Lavia at the Arsenal giving some gentle introduction in games along side Partey and Rice at times.
He is brave, energetic, mobile that all action box to box who relishes the physical side of the game, what a monster in the middle of the park this kid could be come.

That is so true, agreeing a fee with the selling clubs is always the hardest part.
This is the part more often than not involves huge money dealings, here is where we have to be shrewd it could mean the difference in signing an extra player or two.
i completely agree with james
Westham is trying to milk Arsenal. £90m was more then enough. Lets buy Lavia instead.
Lets go back in a couple of years & get Rice for free if needed. I think we can do with Partey, Gorginho, Elneny, Sambi, Lavia in the mean time.
Any fan who seriously thinks we can make do with such dross as Elneny and Lokonga is seriously in need of a basic football education!
