Internet gaff has us with #WelcomeRamsey at the ready

Chelsea lost their collective minds dropping £70m on a Bilbao keeper of great potential. Lunacy.

Is that the going rate for someone who might be good these days? Unreal sums.

Arsenal hasn’t done much in the way of anything. There was a bit of a ridiculous carry-on going off on Twitter, where people were tracking Vida coming to London or some shite like that. It amounted to nothing because he’s clearly not elite levels if he’s slumming it in Turkey at 29.

I was a little sad to see 22-year-old centre back Çağlar Söyüncü go to Leicester. I thought we’d be taking more chances on interesting youth with a couple of seasons under the belt. The midlanders have a very good scouting setup over there, so maybe we’ll see him at a later date if he makes it work with them.

Sooooo… it looks like Ramsey is signing.

Bit of a dim move to release his images on Getty, twitter folk are all over that shit. It looks like Arsenal are planning to make a big deal of him putting pen to paper for the big weekend game. Ramsey reading his own negative press whilst hawking some club merchandise. Wonderful. I like the BTS of the gif making. Real classy.

Anyway, a lot of Gooners deleting their tweets of the last 24 hours. Jezza Wilson reckons £225k a week, which is a lot of cash, but about market rate for a guy who should probably be our captain this season.

A nice way to cap off a shite week… what would be nicer is a tasty little deal for Dembele who probably doesn’t want to sit on the bench for the fancier Malcolm this season. Amirite? Damn right I’m right.

James, who writes for the blog sometimes, is dropping in with an EXCLUSIVE (kind of) behind the scenes look at Arsenal’s fancy performance centre. I am VERY excited to read what he has to share. The club has made HUGE strides over the last few years, and I’m thoroughly looking forward to seeing how our fitness is handled now we have a manager who is hopefully more into the data side of things.

Darren Burgess has dropped a beast of an interview with Fox Sports. Here’s a snippet.

‘Darren, what do you think of Unai Emery?’

‘NO COLLUSION’

Just political jokes fellas… here’s a real snippet.

‘It’s been a huge change, maybe not as dramatic for me because I’ve only been there for a year but it’s certainly been different in a number of ways. Firstly, we’ve got a whole new coaching team considering Unai has brought in five new assistants all with different skill sets but also in the medical and performance departments as well, so yeah it’s been a real summer of change and very different with differing philosophies on training and how to work and how to prepare. It’s been a real challenge to learn a new way of doing things especially for me having just learnt Arsene’s way and now being in the process of learning Unai’s way of doing things. A lot of people have commented on how different it feels, even visually around the place there’s been change. But it’s been good so far, pre-season has finished so now all roads lead to Manchester City and that first game.’

Right, short post today, see you a bit later for the write up about Darren’s team that James hasn’t even told me about.

azed Nwanne,

How are you doing bro? It seems we are going to witness more of the same lol. It will take a monumental coaching effort from Emery to do anything meaningful this year. Probably, Kroenke wants to wait until the take over is done and dusted, until he starts flexing his financial muscles – hence the *conservative* spending this summer.

Dissenter

I’ve always thought the best way to build a team is from the back.
Emery came into a very bad situation and is hamstrung because we don’t have that much money available.
He has to hang on tight not to let the bottom fall out. Next summer will be better when the new commercial deals come.

Sanmi

Lucas Moura is a 1 vs 1 specialist and an excellent dribbler, Moussa Dembele is one of the best CM dribblers out there.

Marko

The beauty of Legrove stems from frauds like you blessing us with earth shattering insights all day everyday on here

So about you passing off other people’s opinions as your own… care to comment?

Sanmi

I highlighted this before, defending is a collective game. When you relentlessly press upfront, good 1v1 defenders aren’t necessary.
Guardiola gets away with it cos of it, otamendi and stones are useless defenders, same with walker.
Dante was useless as well, Puyol wasn’t particularly great as a defender.

Receding Hairline

“If I was Man United, I’d sell Pogba tomorrow morning for £100m and buy Dembele. All day long. I think Dembele’s up there with the best of the best.“

Paul Merson gents

Receding Hairline

FYI he means Moussa Dembele

UTarse

12 year old FRAUD,
So STILL no response then ?

Sanmi

Wenger Eagle
Lucas Moura isn’t in the first 11.
It’s kane, alli, Erikson and occasionally Son.

None of them are dribblers

WengerEagle

Lol is Merson aware that Dembele is 31?

Dissenter

Pogba is easily worth 200 million in today’s market place, following the world cup.
United wil be daft to sell for less.

He was only using Barca to get a pay raise to match Sanchez’s. I’m pretty sure united will fold- he is their best player now.

azed

“Can you recall what our bet was about ? I can’t find it anywhere !”

Let me look for it.

raptora

Son’s dribbling eclipses anything we have at Arsenal. Plus they are at least a physical team. We are neither physical or that technical. Plan is wrong.

Silverhawk

WEagle

Foolish doesn’t begin to explain his decision.
I guess it’s the product of him being overhyped.
Let’s watch how his career stagnates for the next few years.

Marko

Son doesn’t dribble? Then what does he do

Victorious

Lol, The wolfs are out with all guns blazing cos a post was referenced and pasted

Now I have committed such egregious error, what should I do with my life, damn

Zfree

Our best bet for 4th is probably an injury to a key spud player – Kane, ericksen, son to a lesser extent.

Gonna be an absolute dogfight for 3rd and 4th. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Let’s start with a nice Man U loss and Jose sulkfest, spurs draw to Newcastle (possible I think with World Cup hangover) and 2-2 draw for us against city. I can’t see us beating them sadly. The talk about their squad not being ready has faded. Enough of their stars will face us on Sunday.

Dissenter

Ian Wright is another pundit that says lots of daft stuff that often goes under the radar.
He was on Fox sports coverage of the world cup and boy was he pathetic.
There was nothing he said that connected. It was like a jargon-generating machine was installed in the studio.

WengerEagle

Sanmi

Are we not aspiring to be better than Spurs? And Lucas will absolutely play a more prominent role this season, only joined them in late Jan.

Every other top contender has this calibre of player. You have City with Sane, Sterling, and Mahrez, Chelsea with Hazard, Willian and now Kovacic, Liverpool with Mane, Salah and Naby Keita, United with Pogba, Fred and Martial.

Terraloon

Marc

Will Chelsea be playing a striker or will Sari be looking at say Hazard, Willian, Batshuayi/ Pedro.?
At Napoli Sari went with Martens who is what 5 ft 7 ins

If you’re going to copy and paste an article, then make sure to acknowledge the origin,
Serve a simple apology or explanation about how you forgot to give proper credit..then move on.

Leftsidesanch

“Now I have committed such egregious error, what should I do with my life, damn”

if you quoted it, and backed it up with your own explanation it would have been acceptable. You posted it as if it was your own, not expecting anyone here to know that it’s not an original thought of yours.

WengerEagle

I think Sarri will play Hazard as the false 9 actually, like he did with Mertens. If Mertens can transition into the role than Hazard can as he’s a much better player.

Midfield likely of Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic playing a more advanced role which he will love.

Is Fekir not moving to the Chavs, thought that was on the verge? Poor lad could well be marooned at Lyon for another season.

McBright is Wright

The season yet to kick-off and apperently some have concluded: 1. Lenovo is the least GK Of the top 6! I thought stats like most clean sheets, most saves, least goals conceeded…determine that? 2. Arsenal have the worst defence! Again relevant stats should also determine that. Last season is gone. whatever premise you draw you conclusions on-are non and void. Sunday is here already, can we please wait! Meanwhile, the media hates us, why do we run ourselves around? Hav’nt you noticed the silence on Spurns? we got 5, five to non. Yet the attention is on us not them,… Read more »

How about care less about me pasting an article to buttress a point and focus more on wiping off those rotten eggs on your faces after making bad calls on BBC orstein and his judgement on our transfer activities ,bet you lot looks like utter mugs right now

Receding Hairline

Funny enough the only actual dribbler we have is Iwobi, i know many will disagree for obvious reasons but he can go past a man when he feels like

Marko

You posted it as if it was your own, not expecting anyone here to know that it’s not an original thought of yours.

Exactly

I think I recognise that last post of yours from elsewhere.

Are you illiterate is that why you have to copy and paste from other sites?

Less than an hour before the window shuts and looks like there will be no more ins or outs from Emirates….

WengerEagle

Lol oh dear Vic, having a shocker here…

alexanderhenry

Everton could be a dark horse for next season.

steve

Just another Arsenal transfer deadline day. Completely dead. Underwhelming transfer window so far. The only exciting additions so far have been Torreira and Guendouzi. The rest have been ‘meh’.

HighburyLegend

I can’t remember why the transfer window in England is closing early than the other countries…
Was it a FA decision ??

Victorious

You posted it as if it was your own, not expecting anyone here to know that it’s not an original thought of yours.

Did you read what was posted? If so what do I stand to gain in making people think it was an ‘original thought ‘ from me?

Don’t join the daft club by writing about what you have little knowledge of.

Ashwin Gunner

“I can’t remember why the transfer window in England is closing early than the other countries…
Was it a FA decision ??”

All the teams in PL decided and voted to close the deadline before the season starts

WengerEagle

I don’t think so, don’t really like who they’ve brought in so far.

Bernard is just hyped cause he’s Brazilian, he really is bang average. Deulofeu is a better player. Digne is also bang average and Richarlison is a huge risk for 50 million considering he hasn’t turned up this calendar year.

Mina is their only signing I like, think he’ll do quite well in the PL actually, more suited for it than at Barcelona where he would be exposed high up the pitch to pacy counter attacking players on a weekly basis.

Every time i tune in here, the same folks are cussing up, arguing or abusing people….

“An unwanted stat for Spurs fans. If Tottenham doesn’t sign a player. They will be the first EVER side not to pick up a player since the transfer window came in.”

For what it is worth. Wenger always bought some one. Doesnt matter if they were utterly useless. But he always gave fans the hope that something great is going to happen.

Dissenter

Is Ospina’s exit a loan or outright sale?

“What about Welbeck.”

Signing for Bournemounth on a free next season.

Marco Silva first manager to get the bullet this season, Mourinho gone by 1st Jan.

We did good with the Perez transfer to Westham it the fee was 10 million, not the previously reported 4 million.

Again i thought we slagged off Mr Wenger for deadline push or as most call it, ‘panic buys’. And we want a clear departure from that sort of deals. Yet, you were anxiously waiting…vexing. Thats why the TM is closing 5pm rather than 11pm. CLubs now make early plans and before long, the rest of Europe will join this train.

WE,
What about this one though:
“”It also seems Everton have won the race for Man Utd target Yerry Mina. We believe Everton have gone out to Barcelona to do the medical, while we also believe Barca midfielder Andre Gomes has had a medical. But whether that one goes through is a little less likely…””

Business as usual at Arsenal……let’s see what happens on the field now….

Is that right, only £4m for Perez?

At United or Everton?

Ah it’s all his fault…..we sold a player we paid 17m for only 4m! in 2018

£17m to £4m.

Wow! £13 loss.

Should we claim back of Wenger, because he was the one who cocked him up.

Get used to saying that till 2020.
That’s what you call the Wenger largess, better than winning the lottery.

Jenkinson is here purely for the banter at this stage.

Club mascot.

Cesc Appeal

Welbeck has survived then, Campbell and Jenkinson will also continue to hang around. We’ve found it really difficult to move people on, made a bit of a dent though. Focus on the season now, at least United enter the season under a cloud and Spurs will also enter feeling deflated as well as having to move to a new ground and suffering because of the World Cup. That’s a chance that two of our rivals will be hindered and Chelsea might suffer as well adjusting to Sarri and due to a lack of goals. This season is all about 4th,… Read more »

WE,
Skysports say Andre Gomes is having a medical in potential transfer to Everton haha

I hope that was just a down payment with add ons to come

The only way Carl Jenkinson is leaving before his contract is up to is if we another club to take him and still cover his salary while he plays for them.

I wouldn’t turn my nose up at somehow playing Campbell for the season, he’s probably the best at wing play we have in the squad, but Emery hasn’t even looked his way…

Campbell wasn’t even good enough to feature for a really poor Costa Rica side at the WC.

He’s shite haha.

Probably, but who else is a proper winger…i don’t mean he should start, but when the chips are down and that’s what we need…..obviously he isn’t in the plan, but he’s not been shifted on, we might as well use him in some games.

Campbell is struggling to get in the Costa Rica side.

That puts into perspective how good he is.

I agree
We will have to pay Jenks to leave. We may even have to pay the buying club to make an offer to buy him.
He’s no longer a footballer.
He probably has 50 residential homes in place for a real estate business to start in 2021.

How the mighty have fallen, Fulham close to a loan deal for Lucianno Vietto.

Was rated as highly as Paulo Dybala just 3 years ago by many.

Can’t believe our crack pop team has pulled another madness bid in the waning hours.

DaleDaGooner

I don’t know why people keep putting Elneny in the dross column, he was given the number 4 shirt, obviously the club isn’t thinking the same way as a lot of you. He isn’t that bad of a player, i agree with the club on that…good squad player…better than some loved players here.
