That will be the top four right there
As resources are limited, i would prefer we spend big on a top player than to buy 3 average ones.
Fernandes is not a DM, I don't think he should be asked to play that role.
I struggled with where to put him ... we do have a shitload of quality midfield players ... as creative/attacking AM's we have Dele, Ndombele, LoCelso, Bergwijn, Sissoko and that's putting Son and Lucas as strikers ...
Maybe swap Sissoko and Fernandes ... personally I'm with Brian Clough on this one, if they're good enough they can play anywhere ... it's why not having a second striker doesn't bother me that much - you look at the goal scoring potential and it shouldn't be an issue.
Perhaps one of the most specialist positions (apart from keeper) is DCM when you look at a list of real top quality specialists it's pretty short ...
Agree with you Fernandes is not a DM but if we signed a really good DM then Fernandes, Winks or Skipp to play in the double pivot .... that said LoCelso was very good paying deeper yesterday so who knows ...
Having too many good players ... who knew that was ever going to be a problem?
Fernandes was bought into cover for MS, I don't see him being permanent unless he turns out to be really good.
JM definitely wants a striker, even though I think son is adequate. I think it's going to be a big problem finding a striker of quality to bring in. We've had problems getting in the right striker, at least since Redknapp's day and beyond that. Fuck knows where we would be if Kane hadn't had come along.
JM doesn't seem overly concerned about a DM, my guess is, if he only has limited funds he won't be getting one.
Guys!
We have not conceded more than 1 goal in 5 straight games.
And as a result - we have not lost any of them!
Also this table up there is a nice sight. Though the Lamela kick in extra time vs Watford still haunts me. If it would have been 3 mm further... we'd be even in better situation.
But still decent, and I believe that we have a chance to fight for top 4!!
Need to keep all the players injury-free ; play Ndombele and Lo Celso as much as they can without putting them in risk and hope for the best. I am optimistic!

Refreshing how players can get a chance straight away in the side and perform even as new signings, which didn't seem to happen under Pochettino much.
Bergwijn would have been on the bench under Poch 100%.

I think sess is wasted as a LB, and for those who say he only scored goals in the championship, I have watched a fair
Few games just lately from championship teams and didn’t realise how much more physical the game was in the lower leagues, we need to be patient with sess , I think in a couple of seasons he will surpass son in how important he can be for this team
And there were people shitting their pants over arsenals “new style” under Arteta
No chance. He'll never match Son's ability going forward, he'll never be a top class attacking player full stop, just hasn't got the skillset. It's left back or bust for Sessegnon, and you'd put your money on bust at the moment to be honest. He needs to up his game dramatically as he's been displaced by a right footed CB.
I think he will surprise a lot of people , he is wasted as a left back
He's already surprised me, at how little he's offered.
He is lacking in confidence, but then he is only young though and Jose has just played him as a LWB, my
Memory might be wrong but I’m sure when he scored In the CL game he was playing more of an attacking winger, any how it seems the majority of the fan base have wrote him off already, and then people wonder why Jose is refusing to play Parrott
