I wish we'd added the money spent on Buendia to the derisory bid for Smith-Rowe.

If he does, he'll be great. If he doesn't, we should get close to our money back for him.Smith Rowe may be worth £60m in the future, who knows, but it's way off the mark for a player who'd played 22 games for Arsenal at the time we put our bid in.

He's had issues with fitness, he went to Argentina and had to quarantine, he's joined us to play for a manager who has since had the boot. He's been played as a 10 and right wing, and now he's got a new manager to start again with.Hardly a settled start - let's not write him off yet.
