Oh man… I’m err… gonna do this.
Mustafi changed his Instagram bio and REMOVED the links to Arsenal.
Could it mean something?
Who knows. I really, really, really hope so.
Edu. The mightiest of Brazilians just oversaw a win in the Copa America. One more week and he lands back in the land of London Colney. That’s great news. We’re hiring in someone who can build a winning machine. Hooooray!
Sevilla is rumoured to be interested in Mikhi. That’s lovely, but I would imagine his salary would land them about 17 players, so not sure this one has much juice to it.
Kurzawa of PSG. Yes, that left back who always looks REAL cool in the stands, has apparently been told he can leave. Big fan of Emeryball? No doubt. Get on that overlap you absolute beauty.
Ok… I’m going to do it again… Kieran Tierney’s pals reckon the left back is going to stay at Celtic for another season. FFS… we couldn’t push it over the line. Still not quite sure about the sleuthing here. What sort of weirdo is keeping tabs on Tierney’s mates? Why is there ALWAYS a weirdo keeping tabs on football players bios? Why am I writing about it?
Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if we pulled the plug on the left back, because that’s old Arsenal, quibbling over £3m to make a useless point then wrapping a comfort blanket excuse around it like, ‘that’s Arsenal class.’ Fuck efficiency. Art of the Deal all the way.
Arsenal, who have managed to move on ONE player all summer, will want to punch themselves in the face when they read this:
🚨Bournemouth have sold Tyrone Mings for £26.5m! A player that has made about 17 appearances in 4 seasons!🚨
What the fuck is going on in Raul’s office? Bournemouth can sell an absolute nobody for £26.5m, and we can’t shift Calum Chambers, Fulham’s player of the season, for a single bloody sausage?
Sometimes I wonder if Raul just needs someone cranking those phones. I’ve worked in recruitment before. Just work out your script and start crushing digits.
‘Good afternoon, my name is Peter Wood, I’m representing the Yellow Sticker department at Arsenal football club, may I speak to your chief buyer?’
‘Well howdy doody, I have many fine products that are hot out the oven, with many genuine buyers interested. To name but a few: A World Cup Champion who is good with concentration, a young player with sturdy legs, a mercurial Germanturkishman with very fine taste in autocrats, a Swiss who always took charge of the spare key, and a Bosnian that will run and run and sometimes act if you ask him nicely. What takes your fancy?’
Easy.
Give me a commission. Say, 5% of every deal, reckon I’d be able to shift them in a week. How hard can it be?
Other things we could do:
- Offer to buy out their contracts
- Tell them not to bother coming to training at all, totally shut them out
- Sell them at literally nothing. Zero transfer fee, just to get them off the books. Because honestly, what is the fucking point in keeping these absolute wasters in the squad for another season? If we don’t take the hit on the books now, we’ll take it in the dressing room and on the pitch all season.
Ok, some of those ideas are a touch extreme. But sheesh, there is NO other club in the world that makes it easier to be an absolute bum than Arsenal.
There’s even a club photo of Ozil, Kola and Mustafi just hanging out.

I am TRIGGERED. How dare they just, you know, walk about together.
I heard through the grapevine that Emery split the kids and the first team from eating meals together at the training ground. No idea why he’d do something like that, maybe he’s trying to create some ambition in the youth ranks, John-Jules out there dreaming of eating a sandwich next to Nacho Monreal is probably how he ended up on the plane to America… regardless, are the players we want eating meals with everyone else? Are we testing their resolve on any level whatsoever?
‘No Ozil, eat your profiteroles roll on that dirty beanbag in the corner, you lazy boy’
Real Madrid seem to be shipping their dross out with absolute ease. What is our problem?
Tyrone Mings for £26.5m! HOW?!
Maybe none of this matters. Raul was just keeping the preseason warm for Edu? Hopefully he has some really fucking great ideas about who he wants to bring with him.
My MAJOR hope is that he doesn’t ship in 15 of his mates. I hope he’s a true pro. He needs a new chief scout, I hope he finds the smartest person doing the most mental things with data you could imagine, unearthing gems in untapped markets, perhaps helping small clubs bat well above their average.
My point is that I hope we’re hiring in a professional. Someone that knows the market. Someone that interviews for the job, you know, best candidate wins like the old days. Hopefully, he has an idea in his head about where the next frontier in football is located. Has a contacts books that can help him. Leans into that contacts book and seeks advice from good people.
We’ll see, but whatever happens, we need something to ignite our dismal post-season. To start training with literally one Brazilian that wasn’t even playing at the highest level is a touch miserable, especially considering how quickly we attacked our business in Sven Mislintat’s first summer.
Right, that’s me done. See you tomorrow. I’m back on the 9am run people.

Your snobbery is misplaced and silly when Arsenal have had such a poor defensive record for so long.
“Mustafi is not the worst defender in the world ”
No he’s not but how many who are worse or similar play in the PL?
“Your snobbery is misplaced and silly when Arsenal have had such a poor defensive record for so long.”
Nothing snobbish about not wanting an unremarkable 25 year old from a team who defend as deep as possible, you might start seeing thse errors creep in once he is introduced to Arsenal’s high line
Rumours that if we were able to get Malcom on loan we would have to commit to purchasing him next summer for £36 Million. I’m somewhat torn about that to be honest. On the one hand if he has a successful loan period not only could we have champions league football the following season but we could have a new permanent winger already bedded in next summer. But on the other hand what if it doesn’t work out not only would we be stuck with him but we’d also be in a position where we couldn’t say target someone like… Read more »
What i am saying is get defenders from attacking teams, Newcastle are such a defensive team 80% of the time it’s hard to tell who is actually competent
One can leave the confines of Le Grove for a 10 day stretch and patch back into the same argument rumbling along with little progress. Meanwhile the current regime operating at peak Wenger form in the banter years with zero humor to accompany. Appears to me Rauls skeletal structure he’s touted is lacking a few key components, notably any vital organs. Thoughts of Edu swooping in and unfurling the red carpet are comedic as he’s certainly been involved in summer dealings at this stage in some capacity. Only logical conclusion that can be drawn is it will be a deadline… Read more »
Why is Neres better than Malcolm???
Both 22 and one did enough to earn his big money move before the other. So what makes him better???
I am no fan of either, i particularly have serious reservations on the Neres dude, but will like to know what makes him better
Please don’t say the caliber of clubs after him
Leicester City won the League by 10 points with worse much worse defenders than Mustafi
Leicester City would not have won the league had they chose Emery instead of Ranieri as their manager.
…and that’s the difference.
T.H.
It’s good that we’re targeting pace in the side. A welcome approach finally. Though rumours and words are pointless we need these players actually signed before we can contemplate anything going forward. It’s all well and good suggesting Malcom on loan is great because it means we could still possibly get Zaha but we have to get Malcom first.
Bayern Munich are waiting for the “domino effect” that could help them land a “top player,” according to CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Bayern have signed France world champions Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez but fans are clamouring for further additions to a side that won the German league and cup double last season but did not get past the Champions League round of 16. “Today is July 8. I know that patience is not one of the major virtues of fans or the public,” Rummenigge told reporters at the official presentation of defender Hernandez. “The transfer market is open until Sept.… Read more »
Marko I see what you mean. But in our position if that’s the offer on the table I think I would take it. The thought of being able to secure both Malcom and Zaha this summer is too much to refuse. Zaha, Aubameyang, Malcom could potentially be a seriously good front line and certainly would mean teams have to give us far more respect. Especially if we landed Tierney as well and when Bellerin returns. I have to admit I’m not really that interested in Neres, he strikes me as a move to Everton, fail to hack the EPL and… Read more »
Serious question, why sell chambers when he’s not a bad backup option at RB but keep AMN there when he hasn’t demonstrated he’s ready yet?
We need to improve the defense. Putting out hopes in bellerin to stay fit and AMN to improve significantly this season is pretty hopeful imo
I’d feel safer with chambers there and AMN can be moved as a squad player into a less consequential position, such as a winger
“Mustafi is not the worst defender in the world”
“No! No! , I won’t have it. There’s a defender in Eastbourne”
You can always relate things back to Fawlty Towers.
The deal for Malcolm at £36 million is worth a punt. If he doesn’t work out with the money chucked round for players we will be able to recoup a big chunk of the money. What we need to do is make sure he’s not on a salary that would prevent a sale. If he does work out and turns into a top signing we can easily give him a raise.
CG, mustafi would not make that Leicester team in a million years, though it doesn’t surprise me that only you would think the contrary
Malcom could do better in a faster league like EPL.
Would definitely take that chance on him as others have said.
If Arsenal did get in Malcom and Zaha with Auba uptop that would terrify opposing defences for sure.
Would be nice though to get in a midfielder that supplies them quickly enough as well. Guendouzi could be capable of that.
Both 22 and one did enough to earn his big money move before the other. So what makes him better??
Just better consistency. Malcom 27 goals 18 assists since coming to Europe while Neres has got 29 goals and 32 assists in less time and appearences. His overall game just seems better too more dynamic. He could play left and right wing while Malcom seems like he can only do the right.
I don’t think arsenal are spending over 80m on two wingers in a single window
36m for Malcolm is solid business tho. Unless Zaha can get his transfer fee halved with bad behavior I don’t think his signing is a serious rumour
“The transfer market is open until Sept. 2.
Ours closes August 8th. We can’t afford to wait for any dominos to fall unfortunately
“I have to admit I’m not really that interested in Neres, he strikes me as a move to Everton, fail to hack the EPL and end up at Milan or Inter type.”
Get the exact same vibes from him
As of June 19th, Sven Mislintat at his new job in Stuttgart had already moved 11 players out and brought 4 new players in. That is what we are missing right now
I have to admit I’m not really that interested in Neres, he strikes me as a move to Everton, fail to hack the EPL and end up at Milan or Inter type That’s unfair. Everton aren’t a big club and plenty of players who go there struggle with getting out or getting better. Neres would absolutely struggle if he went there but if he went to a United or a Chelsea he’d flourish. He’s actually far better than people realize his dribbling and ability to beat a man is great and for anyone who’s seen him in the Champions League… Read more »
Anyone who thinks mustafi isn’t a car crash defender doesn’t understand defense It’s this simple. It doesn’t matter that he’s hard working, reasonably strong, relatively quick, quite tough and a bit of a battler. It doesn’t matter that he sometimes picks a decent pass and also can charge forwards and get back. It doesn’t matter if he plays pretty well for 80 minutes if most games. It matters that in 90% of games he will make between one and three catastrophic errors near his own goal. Defense is judged differently from any other position in this sense. Strikers can vanish… Read more »
If our summer ended up being Zaha, Malcom, Tierney and then Saliba signed to join next summer it would actually be somewhat reminiscent of Klopp’s progress with Liverpool.
If the signings worked Arsenal would be a serious attacking threat whilst still being very defensively susceptible.
A problem that the club would then seek to address in the follow window with the arrival of Saliba and likely more defensive signings if players like Holding/Mavropanos etc having stepped up.
I am glad to see that the club has apparently promoted both Willock and Nkietah to first team squad according to Jeorge Bird a usually reliable source on youth matters.
Let us hope that Arsenal are at long last starting a revolution at the club to recruit on a regular basis home grown youth into the squad.
‘That’s unfair. Everton aren’t a big club and plenty of players who go there struggle with getting out or getting better.

Malcom is on 90,000 a week already so even in a best case scenario he’s still looking at around 100,000 to join us. It’s not bad I certainly wouldn’t see someone refusing to pay that if we needed to sell him in the future
“Mustafi is not the worst defender in the world”
This is a moot point. No one is saying he is the worse defender in the world, the point is he is the worst defender in the first team consistent during his stay at the club, that’s why he needs replacing.
Marko
If that’s right and it’s a genuine rumour I’d go for it. Actually having a decent outlet would take some pressure off of the defence.
*consistently
“Someone that interviews for the job, you know, best candidate wins like the old days”
Didn’t Dick Emery interview for the role?
I thought he did and that he was awesome that’s why it was slightly left field.
Also didn’t that yank at Fulham interview for that job? They chose him over Giggs because he had the best PowerPoint presentation on his vision for the club.
He failed miserably and it’s looking like Arsenal’s Spanish Alan Partridge isn’t that far behind!
I also think Neres has a higher ceiling than Malcom too. But at the end of the day Neres is likely to cost a tonne of money while Malcom can be gotten on loan. He’s not even necessarily the problem the problem for me is going to be paying a stupid amount for Zaha instead of someone like Neres and not Malcom on loan and possibly ending up costing 36 million. That deal seems reasonable. 50-60 million for Zaha is not
‘Actually having a decent outlet would take some pressure off of the defence.’ This is exactly it. The opposition instantly become more cautious if they look at the Arsenal team sheet and see serious pace and ball carrying ability out wide. Right now you look at Arsenal’s side and you think it’s all slow and plodding aside from Aubameyang. There’s no physicality and there’s no pace, so sit up on them, press them and attack with relative impunity. Lose the ball against Arsenal with Bellerin, Tierney, Zaha, Malcom out wide…that stops and makes you think. Not to mention more balanced… Read more »
Malcolm was Raul’s big push just before he joined… so that rumour is hot.
I was just passing by my local pond…my eyes may have deceived me but I swear I just saw Edu walking across it.

James Olley is usually quite reliable.
Guess the Greizmann mess has to be cleared up first before anyone can move for Malcolm
Having an outlet. What utter tosh.
Having a good defence is what matters.
I get the thought behind it, but filling your team with attackers will only work to a point…coach a defensive unit first, get your base in place, build from that.
That’s sport 101. You’re welcome.
Leicester in for Thauvin.
Ayoze, Tielemans and Thauvin in.
Most certainly means Maguire to Man Utd
Our best youngsters need to be given game time to be convinced to stay… Emery at present, thinks it is enough for them to be exposed to the first team in training. This might have been enough 10 years ago… it is not now.
For a club complaining of lack of funds we need to use our youth better.
Until we free up wages and ridding ourselves from the horror of Ozil, Fatso, Beardy and Xhaka Khan, signing players is moot.
Leeds
Our yoot is shit.
You cannot predict and Eredivise import being a success with any kind of certainty, they are so hit and miss. I’m not sure that’s true. It’s an easy thing to say but there’s plenty of exports from Holland who have been predicted to be successful and who have been. Take De Jong for example he too is from the eredivisie but he’s absolutely going to be a success. With some people you just know. Robben going to Chelsea from PSV and Van Nistlerooy going to United from PSV is not the same as Alfonso Alves going to Middlesboro you know.… Read more »

No one’s suggesting that we shouldn’t improve the defence but what I said is correct. It would mean teams have to be more careful pressing the defence or midfield high up the pitch as we have the ability to catch them on the counter.

For those of you placing your hopes on Raul’s contract wizardry and judgement, a cautionary tale.
Which Barca executive sanctioned the purchase of Alex Song, Tommy V and Alex Hleb from Arsenal…?
Wasn’t it Raul S?
Wasn’t Raul right in the middle of a deal that had someone thrown in jail?
Marc I agreed with you but…we ain’t Real or Brazil. We’re a mid table joke machine from london. Back when we had Cole, Pires and Henry tearing the wing up, I’d say your way would be okay…we’re a long way off that mate. Even if we have an outlet…teams would just chuck in long balls, free kicks and corners, none of which we can defend against.

He also signed up the likes of Suarez, Pique, Dani Alves. Plenty of good signings you know.
‘Neres is being predicted to do well because in just two and a half seasons he’s racked up 99 appearences with 29 goals and 32 assists’
Jahanbakhsh:
63 apps in 2 seasons 32 goals and 20 assists.
Brighton 19 apps 0 goals and 0 assist. Comment on the quality of the team, but absolutely zero contribution.
I mean Janssen as well.
Anything above £30 Million, do not touch him.
Not saying he will be bad, but you’re taking offence to the suggestion as an Eredivise signing he might flop. History shows they can easily flop and flop hard.
What I can’t understand is…
The Chinese alphabet…..boom
Seriously if the Chinese can spend 23m n big wages on marko attrovic

So we shouldn’t take a good player on loan with a fee that’s pretty good in the current “madness” until the defence is completely fixed?
‘Mid table” Hackney-eyed, a point off CL place – if you say so.
If you’re going to be so down, at least make us laugh or was that humour?
You are defending erdevisie exports with a prediction someone will be a success??
Yep. Aren’t you guys predicting his failure in the same way. I’d be very confident that Neres much like De Jong and De Ligt will be successful wherever they end up going after leaving Holland. Cause the cream always rises to the top

No one can figure out what we are doing. I’m nit sure that’s a bad thing in itself.
Impressive transfer business from Leicester. They are adding some good players to an already quality young squad.
From football London
“According to the Times, Mohamed Elneny is set to leave Arsenal and join Bordeaux in a cut-price deal even though the midfielder would have to take a wage pay-cut.”
That means we will have to pay him off- the balance of his salary.
There’s also talk that Fenerbache are ready to pay 8 million towards the cost of Ozil’s salary. That will leave us with about 10 million [if he does earn 350k weekly]. That’s some crazy shite there but we are better off mitigating our losses.
Get rid off and bring in Nabir Fekir.

Or maybe because we aren’t actually doing jack shit and just throwing stones or something and hoping something sticks.
This summer hasn’t looked like one where we’ve had any type of coherent plan at all.
I mean Pedro is hoping Edu coming somehow fastens our business which in itself is a not of a joke considering the amount of work we needed to be done to the squad.
Batistuta
“This summer hasn’t looked like one where we’ve had any type of coherent plan at all.”
We wont know until the very end.
It could turn out that we actually had an intricate and complicated plan that is just taking time to mature. We could be running a plan based on disruption and creating chaos.
Time will tell.

Jeez.
The wages are having a worse impact than I thought.
Interested to see what ‘cut price’ means. I’m guessing below £10 Million.
I cannot imagine Celtic wont sell Tierney this summer.
Let them fester on the offer(s) we have made and then we will see. They have bought his replacement already and their model revolves around selling players like Tierney.
I’m with Bat here, what is the actual plan? We’re not moving players on or bringing any in.
At least Emery has a new set of teeth. Maybe thats all he thought Klopp needed to win a trophy.
Cesc
I think we messed up the El neny situation last summer, renewing the contract placed the burden to sell on us. .
He is the type of player who is happy to sit in and rot on the bench.
I will be surprised if we net 5-8 million after paying off the balance of his wages.
I’m pretty sure Beilik has earned the chance to have a go at Elneny’s position.
Tierney is the only potential deal that makes sense in waiting for. Isn’t he injured at the minute? So I’m not sure if he could figure in our pre-season anyway. I read that he’s shelved until September.
Calum Chamber is easily worth 25-30 million in this market…and that’s a very conservative estimate.
At the very least we need to move out players to free up wages and boost the purse.
Leftside
Celtic really have the nerve
They are grandstanding on a player that cannot pass a physical?
Dissenter Agreed. Sell Elneny and Bielik can have his spot, or it might be they are thinking Willock takes it even though they are different players. I’d settle for £8 Million for him, that would mean we’d have brought in £12 Million in sales (Ospina and Bennacer but obviously taking out the Martinelli fee). That could make a big difference, net £10 Million spend for Tierney. Hilarious that best case scenario with Ozil is us only having to pay £9 Million a year of his £17 Million yearly wages. Still something. Doubt we get anything for Mhkitaryan either, if a… Read more »

“Agree at least 25m value had Fulham stayed up they would have brought, obvs didn’t impress Scott Parker that much
He was by far their best play last season which doesn’t say much. They cannot afford him in the championship
I was told that Chambers issued his ultimatum to the Arsenal hierarchy- play me or sell me, he doesn’t want any more loans. We’ll see what happens.
The Tierney Deal is Striking,
No one else has come in for him…..??
The truth is-He is an injury riddled stand out player in a Pub League.
Not even the promoted clubs awash with money ( Mings/Villa) are sniffing about.
If he were any good.
He would have been snapped up. by now!
Is it just me or is CG actually getting dumber? I mean I didn’t thing it was possible but I think he’s pulling it off.
Sadly the rumour of his self imposed ban from le grove was a chimera, a beautiful, impossible dream.
Pre season matches mean absolutely nothing but I really liked what I saw of willock in preseason last year
I hope it’s a sign of things to come. Looked like there’s a player in there. Pre season really doesn’t mean anything tho
Oat milk. Doesn’t really mix well with tea but can confirm is delicious

Except if there was an actual plan, we’d have an idea what that is by now, all the “reliable” sources have said Saliba and Tierney and even that we’ve managed to drag on on typical Arsenal and dare i say Wenger/Gazidis fashion
I’m starting to come to the conclusion that a hard reset isn’t coming until perhaps next summer. The powers that be must have decided missing out on CL has thrown the plan out the window. And spending a substantial amount of money won’t get us enough benefit. Next summer most likely will have a new manager, new DOF in place… useless high wage earners closer to being out of contract and maybe a few youth players bedded in this season.

No . Its because he is Spanish though and can double up as a Grass for Raul and Emery.
Welbeck and Ramsey did not get the chance to sign one.
Yes that Monreal deal is one weird one because it’s obvious that he’s finished at the top level, at least in England.
“Yes that Monreal deal is one weird one because it’s obvious that he’s finished at the top level, at least in England.”
Felt sorry for him last year, one of my favorite Arsenal players reduced to chasing shadows.

That means we will have to pay him off- the balance of his salary.
That another hot scoup from Dissenter? Cause it sounds like he’s taking a wage cut and that doesn’t mean that we’re paying him off
He is the type of player who is happy to sit in and rot on the bench.
Clearly since he’s willing to move to Bordeaux on less wages.
I will be surprised if we net 5-8 million after paying off the balance of his wages.
