Is yours Gold?
Isak has wanted to play for The Arsenal for 2 years, everyone at the club knows it. Unfortunately the money required including the £300k plus pw that he wants hasn’t been available when we also needed to strengthen the whole squad. £70 million up front and the £40/50m in…
They’ve earned the right to spend it. Liverpool are not cooking the books like two certain clubs we all know. They have a self sustaining model like Arsenal and live within their means. We can also do this if we want to. It’s up to the board to go the extra mile.
Isak - €150m Wirtz - €125m Ekitike - €95m Kerkez - €46.9m Frimpong - €40m Pecsi - €2m €458.9m And they’d still probably get Guehi on top of that. (€50m). Half a billion in 1 summer. We cannot compete.
The Isak news doesn’t make me regret Gyokeres at all. TOP signing. We should do everything to sign Isak now, though. He can play on the left, make runs in-behind, drift central, would work well with Gyokeres. We can raise funds selling players.
The amount of rival fans that tuned in to our first pre season game today is disturbing to say the least loooooool.
Gyokeres and Zubimendi saved the window for me. Two players that will be absolutely incredible for us. Very disappointed with our approach to upgrading the LW position but hey, it’s Arsenal, we ALWAYS leave ourselves short. Good thing we have an elite manager. We go again.
I would remove marquee games from the random fixture computer. You play the same teams twice so why does it matter? Barcelona vs Real Madrid is scheduled for May 10. Arsenal vs Liverpool? January 7 on a random cold Wednesday night. Frankly embarrassing. Should be in Apr/May.
If you guys could improve the viewing experience of the Premier League, what would it be?
For me it’s very clear - going into the summer there were 2 non-negotiables: 1. Striker 2. Level-raising LW I’m happy with Gyokeres. But without a Rodrygo/Leao level LW? Martinelli or Madueke as LW option is unacceptable I’m sorry. Spare me the positivity crap. Not interested.
Liverpool understand the assignment. When you’re already a top class team - you put your eggs in one or two baskets and try to get ELITE talent (Wirtz, Isak). They understand the fine margins. Arsenal get 89 points and would rather spend 250m on 5 players instead of 3. Dumb.
Two things: 1. If Liverpool get Isak I promise I will personally reply to each and every single moron who told me he was not for sale. 2. Most Arsenal fans should STFU. You said “why spend that much on one player, we have many needs”. Now you STFU. Don’t complain at all.
Genuinely, why’s Arteta the benchmark for every young coach out there now? He hasn’t even won anything yet, he must be special. I’ve lost count on coaches they’ve compared to him recently.
Is Enzo Maresca a better coach than Arteta????
“Transition merchant” “We need someone who can do it inside the box” Blah blah blah Welcome to Arsenal my shooter #Glock9
Fairs, hands up, I was wrong on Madueke fee. We have been lowballing EVERY club all summer and I didn’t think Chelsea would be different. One day I’d love to find out more about this “relationship”. Smells weird. As for Madueke, WELCOME. I’m not happy but he deserves a chance.
I refuse to believe we bid £50m sorry, going to wait on Ornstein (Fab did get the Wirtz fee wrong). I have nothing against Noni as a person or even player. I just think it’s a gross allocation of funds. He’s not a LW - and won’t get a sniff at RW vs Saka. We aren’t Man City.
This is why I said just blow the whole attacking budget on Isak. Even if it meant we ended up with just two players: Isak and Zubimendi. I told you that’s better than 3-4 players. Why? Because why would you trust this club? See what nonsense they’re on?
Raya (Kepa) Timber (White) Saliba (Mosquera) Gabriel (Kiwior) MLS (Calafiori) Zubimendi (Norgaard) Rice (Merino) Ødegaard (Eze) Saka (Noni) Gyokeres (Havertz) Rodrygo (Martinelli)
Arteta had Mikel Merino scoring regularly as a 9 and you’re worried about Gyokeres 😂😂😂
Berta’s approach has been brilliant. First secure personal terms with *multiple* targets. Then speak to clubs with authority: Refused to pay Garcia RC - got Kepa for £5m. Refusing to budge on Mosquera. Walked away from Sesko. Chelsea aren’t getting more than 35-40m for Noni.
Zubimendi wrapped up. Gyokeres instead of Sesko. Rodrygo late summer blockbuster.
