Football Manager 2016 - Arsenal Team Guide

3. Go In For Barbosa

Remember the name, Gabriel Barbosa. The 18-year-old Brazilian wonderkid is ready for a move, and Arsenal is the perfect place to develop his undoubted quality. He's hot property, wanted by several of Europe's biggest clubs, but launching an £11m bid is enough to take the driving seat in negotiations. Prepare to spend a decent amount on his wages, but with some haggling you can end up paying Barbosa around the £40k p/w mark, a drop in the ocean compared to the £126k p/w you'll have saved by flogging Arteta and Flamini. Every penny you spend on this man will be worth it. He's small, nimble, and many of his stats only need a +1 boost to hang around the 16 mark. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Neymar 2.0.
