What a mess

Plus £5m for the Arsenal fellow who will never get a game. What does it say about the academy when some Arsenal reject is brought in for £5m?

I think that Holding was actually an astute bit of business as he'll be a useful back-up when Guehi leaves and Richards steps in, meaning we won't have to go out and panic buy a Guehi replacement or CB back-up. He's just turned 28 so has a few years left. and at £1m...a no-brainer IMO

I think SJ had a release clause which clearly was a concern, however, the new contract has, i assume, resolved this either by getting rid of it or increasing it. He has also no doubt got a decent pay rise. So that's a lot of money to be spending on the goalkeeper slot - maybe £170k a week in total?

I didn't think he was too bad for Arsenal but they seemed to know something we didn't.

signed one just before the start of the season,he knows he should have played for a higher club,terrific work rate. Yeah I think you’re pushing it a bit there, I think the fact that the only thing you can big him up about is his work rate is exactly why he’s playing for us and not a big club

It is for someone who plays up front!! Yes he works hard so you can’t dislike him, but giving your all for the shirt is a basic requirement, we need more quality from him in front of goal where it counts
