So how are they going to close that gap?

How are they going to close that gap?

Not with that group of players.

They're going to have to be lucky in the transfer market, spend...

big money.

But would it be a concern that he just got through another transfer window, just his second, and then managed one loan signing in that window?

Well, I would imagine when he sat down and said yes to the job, this would have all been explained to him.

I mean, he's a big manager.

He's had big jobs.

I'm sure one of the questions would have been what sort of investment we've got going forward.

So he'd be aware of that.

I think he is the real deal.

I think Arsenal

I've got a good manager there.

How successful will he be?

It'll be how much money he has to spend and how lucky he gets in the transfer market and how long he's there.

And that is the thing, if you're saying about the LA Rams and the investment they've put into that and actually spending what they did on a defensive player in the NFL LA Rams, well, are Arsenal going to get that same investment?

Because clearly it is needed in that department.

And when you look at Emery and what he's done, to be in the position that they were going into this game, if they would have actually, yes, I know, looking at reflection, saying there wasn't options to buy anyone of that quality defensively, but now, OK, that's a gamble, but then...

Come the end of the season, if you haven't made top four, what quality defenders are you then actually going to go out and buy because the top players want to be playing in Champions League?
