Apologies for the delayed posts, I’m on a shoot, at an airport… which is cool, because you are literally checked in so it’s easy to fly home.
Anyway, Arsenal?
BIG news is Auba has taken down his profile picture on Instagram. That’s news in this SICK world we live in. It’s clearly a purposeful thing because the guy has LOTS of great pictures of himself… so where is he going to go? It’d have to be somewhere with a desperate need of a striker and a lot of cash money. Unlikely to be Madrid after they just signed Jovic. So who?
Why don’t you make yourself useful and find out.
Yes, you.
Maybe it’s just a negotiating tactic… ‘PAY MORE OR I LEAVE MY PICTURE BLANK’
… chapter 4 in Art of the Deal if I remember correctly.
Legendary author Nick Hornby confirmed what I had heard about Aaron Ramsey, it was all on Emery, the player wanted to sign. By now, it’s an irrelevance, he’s gone, but you know… nothing like a little confirmation.
Kola is being chased down by Barca, those surging runs clearly attracting their interest. In a better setup, no doubt he’d have had far more assists this season. It seems the club are very keen to move him on. Hasn’t quite been the breakout hit we’d hoped for, but again, another confirmation that players we have in the squad aren’t utter shite.
News at the training ground has Freddie and Steve Bould switching jobs. Interesting the club aren’t firing our exlegendary centre back, not that I’d want that. Did Bould simply want more say on the team? Are the club being forceful about keeping Arsenal DNA in the ranks? It has certainly looked like Bouldy has the same passion for the manager as Ozil. Those blank stares he does when we drop another early goal are reminiscent of mine when I’m reading an Emery press conference on the .com.
I wonder what the swap out with Freddie is hoping to achieve? I’m not sure I buy the ‘he’ll help bring more young players through’… why would that be? If you’re saying Bould is bad with identifying youth player talent, would it be wise to send him to U23? This is weird, and again, if you have answers, share them.
Umtiti wants to see out his 4 years at Barca… which for me, sounds like good news. I really don’t want to be picking up players from Raul’s old club. That just wouldn’t be right. He’s likely very expensive, and he’s probably going to be a huge risk from an injury perspective moving forward… hence the reason they’re getting rid of a mid-twenties world-class defensive talent.
… and just to cap off a wonderfully positive post. BIG JEFF, the player we all thought would be an Arsenal god, binned by Emery for £4m last summer… is on the verge of a move to Monaco £22m. Notable that Lille, who are run by talent machine Luis Campos, are also in the running.
You literally couldn’t make up Arsenal summers.
See you in the comments. x
Vela had the talent …. not the maturity.
About to win the MLS mvp now that he is older and wiser and in a better place.
Bob Bradley is somewhat of a talent unlocking genius. He helped Mo Salah become the player he is today as well. Worst mistake US Nat. team made was sacking him in favor of Klinsmann. Disastrous decision… culminating in WC qualifying bloodbath. I’m not bitter at all… though.. 😀
Raul can really change the makeup of the squad in one summer if he is ruthless. If he really has a plan. Ivan talked like he had one but he never saw it through. Wenger always balked at wholesale changes, will Emery. Everyone can see its needed. Out. Cech, Lich, Jenks, Nacho, Mustafi, Xhaka, Ramsey, Welbs. IN. Martinez, Lala, Saliba, Anderson, Tierney, Preat,Ismilla Sarr, Claude Maurice. ….
@Graham62,
People in management talks about values only under specific circumstances
– when they are winning so easily they have to show some humility. Nobody like a winning bully
– when they are not winning. In which case that deflect from underachievement
– when not showing values will make your brand toxic
Midwest
Bob Bradley didn’t really unlock anything about Vela
The lad was always too good for the MLS. He held his own in La liga and moved to America in his prime. He was always going to dominate the MLS which is still a poor league.
Bob Bradley is just the beneficiary of Vela’s talent.
Isn’t Bob Bradley the guy off Soccer AM who shouts “Megnuts”?
Vela was mint in La Liga
Even an old David Villa looked like a beast in the MLS let alone Vela at a good age.
Sebastian Giovinco of the mighty head moved there early too and looked like Messi
Did someone highlight on here today that 90% of Arsenal fans were still for Arsene Wenger in 2013?
Er, no they weren’t.
Conservatively I’d say 50:50.
Sorry folks.
£25 M is the bare minimum we should get for Xhaka.
Valentin
I think I get what you’re on about.
Cheers.
Diss-
Completely disagree… Bob gave him the confidence he needed. He wasn’t always going to dominate the MLS because he didn’t.
https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2019/3/12/18260060/bob-bradley-challenged-carlos-vela-messi-mls
This article pretty much explains it.
Carlos Vela and his famous wild party. I remember being stuck in a traffic jam on a Saturday at 04:00AM on my way home from a party in North London. Due to road work, my wife and I had decided to go through Hampstead. Wrong decision. The traffic jam was caused by Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari being parked everywhere. Carlos Vela had organised a birthday party with some footballer friends. There were Arsenal and Spurs (invited I supposed by Giovanni Did Santos) players there with their WAGs. To apologise he sent some people to offer us some Champagne flutes. My wife… Read more »
Graham the person who said that represents 50% of the Arsenal fan base.
“Be interesting to see how much we get for Xhaka, no more than 15 mil if the experts on here are anything to go by.”
I think this was meant for me. I low-balled the valuations of most of our players a few weeks ago. The most contentious, I assume, were Xhaka, Mustafi, Mkhi and Ozil. Perhaps Chambers too, who I don’t think will go for anything north of £10m.
Let me have it full beans when they leave for serious cash. I’ll take it on the chin.
Pedro
“Xhaka leaving because we can get a fee.”
Firstly tell me it’s true?
Secondly there is no secondary providing the fee isn’t pants it’s win win, cherry on top of the cake, fucking yes baby, birthday and Christmas rolled into one, Harry Kane’s just had one of his legs torn off by a bull shark whilst surfing off Reunion Island. It’s happy days.
Most people who talk about values do so to paper over the cracks.
It’s the difference between in practice and in theory.
Arsenal’s theoretical values were honourable but in practical terms we all knew otherwise.
Well, most of us anyway.
Nah Bob Bradley was dude who failed at Swansea City… lol But he has good history with helping players reach their potential.. Clint Dempsey, His son, Mo Salah, Vela… etc…
And he was best thing US football ever had as a manager,
No sure why Dissenter has to be a dissenter.. manager’s matter dude.
Megnut’s
@Pierre yeah letting our youngsters go on loan with a fee and pre agreed fee would be the right move. Its how chelsea make money on their youth players
Vela knows how to party right
Xhaka has to go for more than that, could see something approaching £35 – £40m.
Extended last summer, thru 2023 season I believe.
Hows the tea lady doing on the transfers Middy?
What many supporters fail to understand is that the Emirates does not represent the Arsenal fanbase.
60000 is a small fraction of our true fanbase.
Graham, they’re the most important fans.
Sal-
Reading the tea leaves now even as we speak..
anyone have thoughts on Praet since its all over the net. Likely click bait but any ideas on this fella?
Watching the Portugal vs Switzerland game. The VAR is a joke. They have continued playing for over 5 minutes. then the ref decided to look at the VAR. He was crowded by players from both side and finally decided on a penalty for Switzerland.
Jamie
No, not especially, the aim was anyone who genuinely thinks we don’t have players that can be turned over for decent cash. The guys that think we’re destined for mid-table mediocrity without changing half the XI.
Those guys who still contest we had a squad capable of challenging top 4 this past season, despite actually competing for top 4 this past season.
The squad we have is ill-balanced, and not particularly suited to certain football pursuits, but this poverty squad idea is absolute waffle.
Agree CC.
It’s not a debate.
Try
He had 4 years on his contract.
So about 6 m per year an 6 on top
30m anything ove4 goes behind the bar.
If the Xhaka sale goes ahead- has Edu okayed it?
Or is Raul- getting all ‘his business’ done before another lapdog arrives.?
Is it the Tech Dir job to do The sales?!?!
Say what you want about Xhaka.
He can pass a ball.
Has a great left foot
Terrific striker of the ball…
( ironically another in the mould of Edu)
Rotten to The Core.
Arsenal 2019!
As for Vinai
To state PUBLICLY that we will be selling our players with only 2 years left on their contracts ( if they dont renew) regardless- can only mean the continuation of receiving very low fees for our players..
Is there a more a naive MD in English Soccer???
Why don’ t The Kroenkes dismiss these Dunces???
Gobsmacked.
Sell everyone except
Leno, Laca, Torreira*, Guendozi* Holding, Bellerin, Smith-Rowe, Willock and Saka.
I’d keep these two. Both fairly young, will get better with better players around them
Dissenter “Someone better place a psych hold on Ishola The dude will be rocking if and when the Xhaka exit is confirmed.” Not just me by the sound of things. gunnerblog tweets: “Arsenal fans seemingly more excited about the prospect of selling Xhaka than any potential signing.” Anyway only half the job done getting rid of him. If the club get in a replacement that actually has dynamism and some sort of pace and can contribute in a positive way then it will be job fully done. More intriguing than those who are welcoming the rumour are those who are… Read more »
Graham
You’re dreaming if you think that most Arsenal fans wanted Wenger out in 2013.
One of the first organised protests in 2016 I think was met with huge opposition in the stadium.
In a hypothetical situation where Kroenke would have assessed the fan base to look at the possibility of replacing Wenger, he would’ve seen way more fans back Wenger (not saying it was right) and I doubt he would browse or care for blog sites.
It took until at least 2017 for the penny to drop with the vast majority.
Okay a bit of feed back concerning season tickets.
Last year following the departure of Wenger I was advised that season ticket sales had improved.
This year season ticket sales opened and the window is later than in previous years. Tickets need to be purchased by the 10th of month instead of 1st.
I have been advised that sales sofar are exceedingly slow.
I didn’t realise we had so many experts on physiotherapy on here.
LeMassive
It’s time to cash in on Bellerin. He’s greatest asset was pace and now that he has done his ACL, the chances of him being as pacy as before is low.
Another Xhaka special in the nations cup.
@EmiratesstrollerJune 5, 2019 21:30:37
People with them already are trying to sell them on…
Xhakaesque performance.
Bloody hell 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice to know he is consistent
azed.
Quite agree. But id rather keep him than AMN and Lichsteiner…
I know hes had a bad injury…but he’s only 24/25
How easy a midfield with Xhaka gets easily bypassed is a stuff of nightmares, Arsenal or Switzerland, doesn’t matter, players just pass through.
Ronaldo though is such a machine even at 34.
I remember folks turning their noses at William Carvalho for being too slow but he covers so much ground and is a physical specimen, we need more grafters in our midfield
Was that Swiss friendly match against the Portuguese EPL pace? lol.
Xhaka can fuck up everywhere and he will.
Graham62 You do understand that the fans who attend matches are the only fans that truly matter and in this order 1) away fans – fucking legends those who put more into supporting their club than 99.9% can even imagine 2) season ticket holders – put a huge amount of money and time into following the club 3) those who attend when they can – make an effort despite challenges. If fans who attend matches don’t matter why UEFA do they punish teams with stadium closures on occasions? Let’s see how many people change the channel to watch a match… Read more »
He ain’t going for 55m
Xhaka has some good qualities but he’s just too physically limited for the EPL.
Must move him on and improve that midfield.
The work this squad needs is staggering.
Every department is missing major elements.
Cesc
Agree Xhaka isn’t a bad player he’s just not cut out for the PL. Hopefully we can get some decent money from Italy for him.
Three painful years with Xhaka.
Called it with him literally after one or two games that he would be an absolute disaster for us.
End the pain now please.
Future Arsenal captain?
Look and weep.
https://twitter.com/danielcoffer/status/1136371355094532096?s=20
The one person at Arsenal who gets us 55 mil for xhaha should be knighted.
Still remember the first six months of ‘regista’ talk on twitter about him.
Even Pedro re-tweeting some clown twitter account that started all of it.
Banterous times.
Marc
Agreed.
I think he would do well in Serie A.
If we can £30 Million or more I would be very happy.
The rumours are we’ve set our price at £35 Million.
Amazing to think Mustafi and Xhaka cost us £70 Million combined, we’d be lucky to get £50 Million back.
Lucas Perez at £17 Million, eventually sold by us for £3 Million and then by West Ham for £2 Million.
So much wasted money.
Receding
Vela scored 66 goals in 219 games for Real Sociedad over 7 years, That’s a decent record. He joined the MLS at 28/29 years old.
He wasn’t a flop like Giovinco who didn’t do well at Sunderland and was average for Juventus. He joined the MLS at 27 years old.
Cesc Appeal
“Agreed.I think he would do well in Serie A.”
Tell you what.
If Xhaka makes half the brain farts and errors that he has made in his three seasons at Arsenal at Inter their fans will chase him out of town sharpish,
They will be less forgiving than many Arsenal fans.
Cesc
But’s that’s the myth – Arsenal don’t spend any money, Kroenke won’t let us spend etc etc.
We’ve spent crazy money unfortunately just very very badly.
Ishola
At least pretend that Xhaka is good enough for Serie A to will him off the club.
Looks like you want him to stay so that you can have a camel to beat up on.
Xhaka does okay when the opposition switch off or are not at it for whatever reason, but in any league he will struggle when he doesn’t get time on the ball or is forced to create his own time, something which requires an element of ingenuity(something he lacks).
Even for Switzerland he often starts games for them looking sharp but by the mid-point is well and truly out of ideas and struggling to influence games.
Only job Steve Bould should have at Arsenal is as Gooneraus. A total waste.
Marc
That’s a very shallow view on things.
You do realise that a large percentage of fans who entered the Emirates in 2006 as STH’s no longer attend matches because they became fed up and disillusioned with the way the club was being run. I include myself in this.
These same fans remain supporters of the club but decided not to invest in something that was constantly disrespecting them by promoting something that was clearly flawed, which has now been proven.
As previously highlighted, the fanbase covers a huge spectrum of followers , not just those fans who attend games.
Graham
Yeah but the simple fact is a restaurant where I don’t’ eat at anymore doesn’t take much notice of my opinion if I’m never going back or they’re sold out every week.
I don’t criticise you for deciding to stop going but the fact is as soon as you do you lose leverage.
Didn’t Steve Bould win the FA Cup when he was running the youth team?
Marc Completely true. People look at the quality of the squad and think ‘Kroenke won’t let us spend’ but the problem is our allocation of funds not availability of funds. We’re one of the highest net spenders going yet we’re the worst team in the top 6. Our squad value is the lowest of the top 6 despite a higher net spend than Spurs and Liverpool. Our wage bill is about £60 Million a year overblown. Our ratio of wages to squad value is the worst in the top 6. The problem is we allowed and incompetent dinosaur to anchor… Read more »
Chris
So it was you?
Sorry my friend, you don’t know what you’re talking about..
As soon as Arsenal lost to Birmingham in the 2011 CCF, the percentages changed big time and, just so that you know, thousands of supporters cancelled their ST’s and memberships well before the first protests took place in 2016.
Those that remained along with the new attendees knew no better and to this day I still say they are one of the main reasons we find ourselves in this mess.
Shoot me!
Cesc
It’s so good to have you back.
Cesc
Worst thing is they could have you and me on a life time contract of a million a year each and no one would even have noticed.
On a fun lighthearted note that doesn’t include our undoubtedly scary and possibly disastrous summer. How bout Valencia giving their most diehard fan a statue in his chair? Dude never missed a game even after going blind.
Dissenter
Don’t be nice to him, either Pedro will ban him or he’ll think we actually like him being here.
Truth is he’s a tosser!
Zimmie2652
So where’s he supposed to sit now?
Dissenter
Thank you, mate.
You’re much nicer to me than Marc…and Pedro, obviously.
Marc
‘Truth is he’s a tosser’
You’re not wrong.
You sound just like my dad, usually it was followed by my mum saying ‘for goodness sake, he’s 6’.
Cesc
Christ didn’t realise your family and mine were so alike!
Marc
If you can’t take criticism, don’t come on the blog.
Your choice was to continue investing in a flawed product. Kudos to you.
Mine was to severe my ties and view from afar. Kudos to me.
What “leverage?”
Pretty easy to grasp what was happening.
Graham That’s the point though, people cancel memberships all the time, that’s a silent protest as such. There was no open dissent in the stadium until the last couple of years, (I remember it being bad at home to Bayern 1-5) away games were different granted (was the famous banner at Reading in 2012 i think) The original point was some article was saying Kroenke should have sacked Wenger in 2013 and replaced him with Klopp, but that was never ever going to happen for a multitude of reasons, but what was suggested was that the fan reaction should have… Read more »
Marc,
Guess I should’ve clarified, the gentleman died recently.
Graham
I can take criticism – I mostly ignore it admittedly but it seems like your the one who’s upset.
As I said earlier I don’t criticise you for not going anymore but you seem now to struggle with the concept of the simple fact is you’re some bloke on a blog – do Arsenal even know you’re alive any more?
Zimmie2652
I guessed as much – I just thought I put the perfect bait out for an answer of “he’s fucking blind he doesn’t know where he’s sitting”.
Bad joke and most distasteful but I can’t help it! It’s Cesc Apppeal’s fault.
Charlie “[My comment was directed at] those guys who still contest we had a squad capable of challenging top 4 this past season, despite actually competing for top 4 this past season.” Except that no one contests any such thing. Obviously we were good enough to “challenge” for top four; we did so. What most people here have said — correctly, btw — is that our squad was not as good as four or five other clubs’ squads and that we were therefore competing for top four with the fifth or sixth best squad. “Could” we have finished top four?… Read more »
Charlie “[My comment was directed at] the guys that think we’re destined for mid-table mediocrity without changing half the XI.” Except that no one said this either. What some of us were saying in the previous is that if we want to finish top four next season, if we want to be a top team in the PL, we really need 5-6 new players in the first XI. That’s a new CB, two new wide players, a new CM, a new LB and a new RB*. That you think we need a lot less than this raises some interesting questions.… Read more »
lol from the same match tonight.
Off the pace again.

We’re stuck with the lump.
No sane person is going to pay out any sort of fee for him.
Only goes for knock down price.
The conversation this summer is mostly about people who might be going or who have already gone or who we want to go.
There probably was a summer like this before but I can’t recall one.
The summers I remember, the convo was mostly about great players Arsenal were bidding for – but never got.
One last point regarding Pedro and Charlie’s claim that the squad was good enough this season, a claim they like to support by citing the fact that we finished one point off of Chelsea or that we would have finished above Chelsea if we had beaten Brighton. Right … except let’s look at that Chelsea team that finished just above us. Is there any question they were a much better team than we were? No. There is no question about this whatsoever. They trounced us in the EL final for a reason — namely, they were a much better team… Read more »
The squad was obviously good enough to potentially challenge for 4th, because that’s exactly what they did. An Auba pen vs Spurs away from St Totteringham’s Day, actually. But whether squad A is better than squad B or C, that’s just largely dependent on how you value the players in the squads innit?
Point being that trying to argue that A > B is fruitless when the values of A and B are always going to be fluid and opinion based.
Hey Pedro I’m wondering what’s the play here, I mean the only thing I can assume is that, you think you repeat some gross misrepresentation as ‘fact’ and hope that people would not check it? Or wouldn’t really care? Emery took the blame for overplaying ramsey? When he specifically said that he wanted Ramsey to sit out and Ramsey assured him he was feeling upto it? Unless you expect emery to know how Aaron’s legs are feeling better than Aaron, I put the blame on Aaron for not knowing how his injury riddled body would cope with the strain. Have… Read more »
Sticking it the subject of lies and misrepresentation, here is what Raul and Vanai said about the Ramsey deal “For circumstances, whatever it was, we went to the last year of contract. That’s a problem. When you go to the last year of contract of a player because of the way this is designed, there are a lot of clubs who can get that player for free. Now, that player has a market value. A strong market value, in Aaron’s case. So, any club can project… the total investment of a player is always an addition of two factors: the… Read more »
Graham, I met him in person, I liked the plan he laid out… I mean, he was picked up by Milan to do a rebuild operation by a group of people far more successful than you or I.So, yes, I had him wrong, but I’m not exactly in bad company.
So basically he wined and dined you and for into your pants.
Wouldn’t you say, Wenger, emery, Raul, Vanai etc are all more successful than you or I? Doesn’t stop you from dissing on them.
Bamford10June 5, 2019 19:20:25 Valentin “Gazidis … was in awe of Wenger instead of being his boss.” Nonsense. It was Gazidis who said that the manager could not go on with a broken relationship with the fans forever, Gazidis who said that the manager would need to be a catalyst for change, and Gazidis who said we needed to move to a DoF and modern model. Wenger did not like or agree with any of the above. —- Nonsense to your baloney as well Bumford.. Arsene was an employee-bottom line,not an employer.

Who the fuck buys a football club when you probably think thst ‘right back’ should have a ‘at ya’ after it?
@Bamford10, You are twisting what CC and Pedro and others are saying. They never say that the squad was great. What they say is that the squad is not as bad as some make it to be. If it was we would not have finished so close to 3rd and 4th place. A missed penalty away or a draw against the 17th team seems to prove that with better management, that squad could have achieved top 4. They are just challenging that false narrative that every Arsenal players is pants and that every Chelsea and Spurs players are so much… Read more »

Buttressed his statements and some. -Made bravo statements about competing with the big boys–Real Madrid,Barca,Bayern Munich(10-2),comes to mind. -Lost Sanchez and got Mkhitaryan in between(great swap) -Sanctioned the £350K Ozil wage.To salvage the above situation. -Failed to deal with the Ramsey Saga before… Read more »

I’m not even going to dignify that waffle with a lengthy response.
If you’re honestly trying to tell me some folk haven’t contested we had a squad capable of competing for top 4 this past season you’re one of two things:
1) wildly ignorant of the views shared on here
2) lying through your teeth
Pick your poison.
I think I know why le grove hates arsenal. They set impossible objectives in the transfer window and then moan bout it. They want instant success for next season by spending big, they also want cheap youngsters that will become WC, and at the same time they want WC players that will lift the team so we are challenging for title next season. The reason why Southampton can go after cheap young type of players is because they are almost at Southampton level. Then over the years they get better and go a level over Southampton, so they are sold… Read more »

Gonsterous, there’s not actually too many fans expecting instant success. In fact, I think most would happily have swapped being in the Uefa Cup final for some tangible improvement on the field, in our coaching and in our style of play, suggesting continued improvement for next season. I have been supportive of Emery since his appointment and am aware of the shitshow of a club he has walked into. My issue so far is that I haven’t seen much evidence of his “vision”’for the club; on the contrary, he seems to be patching things up game to game. As coach,… Read more »
Phd, as usual with these things there is truth on both sides: our squad isn’t good enough, but this season, correctly managed, it was easily good enough to beat a misfiring Chelsea and an imploding Spuds team which doesn’t have the stamina for a full season. I know these days there is a tendency for binary answers, but that’s my take on things. Emery has improved our general performance in big games but we still shit ourselves away from home, even to the extent of letting route one goals past us (Leicester). In most other metrics he has failed, and… Read more »
An individual with a strong mentality will never need to be motivated to do something.
Arsenal’s main problem over the past decade or so is that we accumulated far too many like for like mentalities. No natural leaders or winners. Players incapable of rectifying matters on the field of play.
Of course, that was all Kroenke’s fault.
Morning,
Just seen the highlights of the Portugal game.
Xhaka being xhaka, lol.
lets hope Inter scouts were at the opera last night!
Graham62 No. Sanchez does not have a like-for-like personality with Ozil. Cazorla is not a quitter and neither is Coquelin. Koscileny and big Per are not bottlers. If it is the current squad, maybe. But I don’t think Guen is a quitter either. He just does not have the experience to control the mid. But I think he is a great talent. What I am saying is that you misread Cech’s remarks. Cech’s point where it got comfy was that everything was a little too nice and understanding with an eye on long term. And it didn’t change with a… Read more »
Lets go for Carvalho the portugese midfielder .. and put ESR and Willock
