Are Arsenal really in a position to be able to spend 25 million plus on squad signings when their first 11 has so many holes that need addressing?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Supposedly. Both are necessary signings, regardless of the holes in our first team. In midfield we have Xhaka (off to Roma), Partey, Elneny, Smith Rowe and my nan. Torreira and Guendouzi are off. Ødegaard and Ceballos are not coming back. Maitland-Niles is unlikely to remain with us and Willock's future is very uncertain. You could argue that we need three midfielders this summer.
With Kolasinac gone, we only have an injury-prone Tierney at left back. We definitely need an understudy there, too.
Read a bit on both of these players, they seem like good talents, highly thought of where they are currently and both Anderlecht and Benfica have brought through plenty of top players in recent times as well.
Maybe Arsenal are finally on the right tracks in the transfer market.

Agreed. Tavares is coming for €8m plus add on's. Really good fee to fill a genuine need.

Yes .
Not sure Loki will be just a squad player though.

If he isn't then we'll need another signing to be the squad player.

Or just use the players we already have.
We won't though. Half of them are leaving.
Why are you guys chasing Onana? Is Leno off?

Probably after next season, yeah.
I haven't seen either play, but I've had a good read up on the pair.
Belgian football "experts" are very excited about Lokonga. Defensively strong, and also a good passer and carrier of the ball, too. Anderlecht captain already, and destined to be the linchpin of the Belgian midfield for years to come. From what I've read, he excites me too and, I can't see him coming in to play back up.
Tavares has talent, but a bit of an attitude problem. His problems revolve around being 2nd fiddle at Benfica, which makes me a bit nervous about his attitude to being the same at Arsenal. We don't want to be getting rid of Guen only to be replacing him with another version - personality wise. Maybe he'll get plenty of opportunities to keep him happy if KT's injury record doesn't improve?
All reports are saying we're going to be getting a big budget to spend on 4/5 new first teamers, and two or three squad members. I think we'll be going 433 next season with (if we get them) White & Lokonga coming into the first team, and a new GK, RB & ST too.
No deals are over the line yet, though, and we've all been very disappointed in our previous transfer dealings alot over the years. Let's see what happens, but things are sounding positive at the moment.
We are probably going to end up spending 100mil plus on around 4-5 players mainly in position we don't need.
We should be spending that 100mil on 2 top quality players.
Have no issue with the anderlecht cm but Ben 1White, some trashy LB and I heard we are after Ramsdale is this some sort of joke.
We still aren't being seriously linked with any creative players or goalscorers.

Hopefully
We still need to sign some serious players - i.e. Bissouma, Maddison, Isak etc. for this transfer to really get going for us.
These two signings are good, and necessary, but I'm starting to get impatient.
Also for the record I heard Onana has chosen to see out the rest of his contract at Ajax and listen to better offers at the end of next season when he'll be a free agent.
