Tin Jedvaj has just signed for Roma for Â£4.3 million. And we are thinking about wasting Â£8-Â£10 million on Williams. What's the point in having a transfer warchest if we can't prioritise targets. Another missed opportunity. {Ed027's Note - he's about 17, whilst Williams is proven at the highest level, ffs I bet if we signed him you'd say were wasting cash on kids

Even if we put in a Â£15m pound bid, the boy is not an apple, he had a choice!

Very well said ed

Hah, well done ed {Ed027's Note - btw main poster I don't know where your post went here it is:
Not so. The point I was trying to make was that youngsters with exceptional potential as this lad is reputed to possess, can sometimes be far better long-term value than a 28 year old CB with only one good season in the PL behind him.
In addition, if posters are constantly reminded to moderate their language, should someone holding the title of Editor be using expressions such as "ffs" {Ed027's Note - what so you'd rather a 17 year old kid starting ahead of a 28 year old experienced cb, who in the past two seasons has been one of the best cb's in the league. Your previous posts tell me that you want improvement now, well you said I yourself Jedvaj would be for the longer term, whilst we need someone who is ready now. Secondly you obviously don't pay attention do you, I've said on previous occasions 'ffs' stands for 'for flips sake'. & we moderate posters language.

I doubt Jedvaj was a top target anyway. Top clubs have massive scouting missions to the best talent in The world, where the players identified will be intensely looked at, if a player shows any sign of weakness a top club won't touch him but a club like Roma might take a chance on this kind of player.

Well said eds!

Well said Ed. you just cannot please everyone. our youth recruitment process runs itself. at the moment we are concerned with getting proven exeprience or recognised + proven potential. a 17 year is not there yet. especialy in one of the toughest leagues for Defenders

Williams is slow ponderous and prone to an error. Not good enough for The Mighty Arsenal

I too agree with Ed 1000%. Majority of people and i'm sure you are one of them, bitch and moan that we are just buying kids blahh blahh blahh. We bid for an established Premier League who is proven, so no need to bed him in to the premier league which could take seasons, he would fit straight in. Hence why we are also going for Suarez. If i'm honest its common sense. By the way (BTW) Ed owned your a$$ lol

Editor or not I would say it is hard to just roll around changing popular nomenclature. Surely we can have a discourse without immediately being at each others throats. People have different opinions.

I for one believe that Ashley Williams would be a better signing. For all the reasons that the Ed laid out.

Tony Adams was slow and ponderous but he did okay
