Well exactly. If they target Guehi, they are covering the possibility that Saliba might have longer problems, so the season won't be ruined from the get go.Yes I did. But I'd expect Arsenal to know about Salibas back injury. If it is a worry or a problem then I'd much rather sign a CB of higher calibre than a centre back of potential. Which is what Guehi is.
Doesn't matter what Arteta worked with. Arsenal are not Man City and are unlikely ever going to be in a position to sign 50m defenders every summer just to be on the bench.
We have to be smarter than that. That doesn't mean buying ****. It just means looking abit more carefully than others. Tomi (injuries aside), Gabriel and Tierney were all bought for 25m or less. There's 100s of those players about. We just have to look.
Again, players won't be bought for bench, but competition and rotation.
