Ol' Polish Robert ( not the Everton great ) had been given a 100 million pound price tag at the age of 32 .
Must be lovely to be a supporter of a club that can splurge that sort of money on a player with no chance of a decent sell on fee in future .

Even worse, he's 33 tomorrow.
 

Odegaard and White, whilst definitely overpriced, are good players who will improve them. They could have spent the money better but, yeah, not too bad.

But Ramsdale? He's no improvement on Leno, at all.
Personally, I think White worked well in a particular system at Brighton: he is a good, technical and ball playing defender, but he had two grocks next to him.

I have a feeling that in Arsenal's system - not playing a back three and without the same physicallity - he might start to be outmuscled and make mistakes.

Webster is 6' 3, Duffy 6' 4, Dunk 6' 4 and Burn 6' 7. We might need a plan 'B' outside of lots and lots of crosses when we play Brighton.

But back to White, he's going to be found out on a regular basis at Arsenal. Lukaku for one will have a field day bullying him.

I think White is similar to Keane, which some may see as a criticism while (a few) others may think of some of the positives.

With the right player(s) next to them, Keane and White are both defenders who can thrive; with the wrong players next to them, they can look woeful.

Ultimately, a defender who is reliant on working within a specific partnership is not a top defender.

Yes, totally agree, I think most of us probably grew up with the concept of the 'little and large' strike partnership.

I would argue that getting defenders who complement each other is a huge part of building squads. In this case it's one of my biggest knocks against Arsenal, their squad recruitment is a disjointed mess. Arteta wants to play out from the back, so they've gone all in on White, but the other pieces aren't there.

I thought Keane came back from his mistake well last weekend, he's a player that needs to get out of his own way sometimes. There was a Danish lad on loan at Fulham last season, now with Palace, Andersen? who is excellent on the ball and can defend. I was surprised there wasn't more competition for his signature.
 

Wolves selling a couple of players on the fringes with Otasowie going to Brugge and Rafael Mir to Sevilla. I like the Mir move for Sevilla as he's stylistically similar to En-Nesiyri.
