BACK TO THE FOOTBALL.
I watched Arsenal play on the plane yesterday as we beat the mighty Bayern Munich. I know it’s tough to read into these sorts of games, but a win is a win however you chop it up.
The players looked fit, the haircuts looked fresh and that away kit looks stunning.
I don’t want to pontificate on the details, but here are a few things I enjoyed.
Ozil looked like he wanted to play. No point in having a haircut that pretty if you’re stuck on the bench. He moved around the pitch really well and caused a nuisance.
Auba looks very fit and ready to go, I thought he had an interesting game drifting in and out of wide positions.
Joe Willock could be a surprise package this season. He’s an actual athlete and he looks like he has something about his game. He’s very composed and focused, hopefully something happens for him this year.
I was also very happy to see Eddie score. That kid is a poacher and I’d love him to land a little more game time this year.
I also really like the look of John-Jules. He’s compact, fast and making a difference when he shows up. He has teams like Juve and PSG chasing him, he either plays or we lose him. We are long overdue a Jack Wilshere like kid on the scene.
Also… how about Emery and those pearly whites?
Things look like they’re moving in the transfer market. Zaha has said he wants out at Palace, Tierney is moving forward, the club are nearly done on Saliba and Ceballos looks like he could be reality with Spurs dropping out. Throw in a ‘now’ centre back and we’re rolling.
I know the French papers are reporting a bid for Pepe, but be real, we don’t have £80m to spend, so any money flashing from our wallet is monopoly paper or it’s a ‘we tried’ bid.
Right, Fiorentina up on Saturday. I’ll be back with a more imposing blog tomorrow! In the meantime, know that The Arsenal Opinion is back on the regular starting soon… in the meantime, I did a little something with the team over at Mundial. It’s about the Arsenal vs United rivalry. You should put it on your playlist RIGHT NOW.
Chatting absolute prejudice shite. He’s married and has a young baby.
Marko has experienced the world from his game room in a flat in Dublin
Shut up an listen everyone loooooolzz
Personally, I thought sven had a decent window last summer …he prioritised the defensive side of the squad with the signings of 5 defensive based players . Torreira had an excellent first half of the season up until the manager decided to play him more as a box to box midfielder …..mistake by Emery. Guendouzi also had a very good start but was overused when the manager had Ramsey sitting on the bench for 9 consecutive league games and he eventually Guendouzi ran out of gas……mistake by Emery. The manager never really gave Lichsteiner a chance in the way he… Read more »
‘I’m sure posters like Marko, RH, CA etc were singing Sven’s praises before he was pushed out the door …..what a strange lot they really are that they can do a complete u turn on something or someone to suit their agenda.’
Pierre, that’s one of the wrongs of the modern society. 😎😎😎😎
Hope you hear from the French boss.
And you have not provided your views on Mesut’s new haircut.
Yeah coz people with kids and a Mrs never hit the town do they?
You sure you’re from Dublin Marko? Maybe you were raised in a Nunnery.
“Don’t know what he was promised and don’t care. He didn’t get on the plane to go do the job he was contracted to do for which he earns top bread.”
You may be right. But we don’t know what he was promised and whether those promises were made in writing. As I said, the interesting point is how strongly he has made his case, which implies that he has something.
Like most of these things, I am sure it will never come to court and we will never know the truth.
Marko, can’t u simply make a point without being harsh. It’s my view though. I read he’s married….. So can’t he party? We know athletes who are married and ended up with all sorts of issues… Ashley Coke and John Terry comes to mind.
I’m here to only make my view known not to engage in debate or argument with any poster and I respect each person’s view.
Marko Typing myself in knots over Sven? We were ruthlessly efficient compared to the last decade, that’s not up for discussion giving it was a talking point last summer that we actually had new signings on the pre-season plane. Your take of who/what was right or wrong isn’t of much importance. Ask most and Leno was a breath of fresh air, Sokratis was our best defender, Torreira our best midfielder, Auba our best attacker, and whilst Guen was massively overused he is undoubtedly a talent. Licht was shit, but if that’s what you’ve got then the new lot are a… Read more »
‘Like most of these things, I am sure it will never come to court and we will never know the truth.’
I have same opinion.
Kay
Pay no heed. He’s miserable cos he’s stuck in that shit hole of a city and has no way out and he blew his load far too loudly and quickly over the new regime so has serious egg on his face.
The fella NEVER calls it right and it gets under his skin as he misguidedly is in possession of a superiority complex.
“It’s a pity that sven couldn’t choose the manager .” Gazidis detailed exactly how he, Sanllehi and Mislintat arrived at former Almeria, Valencia, Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain boss Emery as Arsene Wenger’s successor: “We went through a pretty wide-ranging discussion, challenging each other on as much as we could on preconceptions and assumptions we might have had going into the process. “By the way, all the way going through the process, Raul and I and Sven spoke to each other as little as possible. Because we didn’t want to pollute each other’s viewpoints from the discussions we had had. We… Read more »

He’s already taking up Cabellos Ceballos paellawhatever. Let’s see how long it takes for him to backtrack. Spurs are after himso he must be blinding…..
‘You sure you’re from Dublin Marko?’
He works at the post office.
How often do you think he has to flex the muscles in his brain?
Transplant
He’s not going to say emery was 3rd but allegri turned us down and arteta was too risky for a guy with no balls
Sure, it’s not ideal that it’s taking so long to get any signings in the door but if we get the names we’ve been heavily linked to it will still be the best window in more than a decade so what does it matter? Imagine it takes longer to negotiate when you try to stretch a small budget as far as it can go and trying to strengthen as many positions as possible. Hence all the clauses and haggling on payment structures, not sure how Sven would have made any difference to that unless he had an extra 50m or… Read more »
I like how actually quotes only count if what it says supports your POV.

Freddy you little anus licker
You were not so lenient a couple of seasons ago. What could have changed your attitude towards transfers and team failures in that time?? Hmmmmm.
Geeeeee let me think…… 🤔
“Geeeeee let me think…… 🤔”
Is that safe for you??Careful you do not burst a vessel

Yur. Good one. Got me there you did.

Hm I don’t know fuckstick, could it be that we don’t have a proven incompetent ditherer with a transfer window phobia in charge?
Seriously, every time I think CG is the dumbest person alive you rise to the challenge, well done you racist cunt you.
I also wasn’t posting here a couple of seasons ago, but nice try.
Your take of who/what was right or wrong isn’t of much importance.
Right back at you only Arsenal fan who’s recommended that we sign Antonio Valencia. I love how people like yourself have backflipped on the whole criticizing of Emery for spending 70 million last summer on defensive players and us not improving and now it’s ruthless efficiency when they’re being discussed as Sven signings. Very good that. Consistent and honest.
Fuckstick
Oh you cut to the very core of me. Must be fighting talk in sveeeeden. Term of endearment in London
Neeeeext
Hm I don’t know fuckstick, could it be that we don’t have a proven incompetent ditherer with a transfer window phobia in charge?
Baaaaaaahahahahaaaaa
Where you been the last two transfer windows??? Hahahaha
What a plonker
Seriously, every time I think CG is the dumbest person alive you rise to the challenge, well done you racist cunt you.
Hahahahahaaaaa
After what you’ve just come out with? In the season of ultimate dithering???
I think you need a bump to the head anus licker. Might assist with you stumbling upon a modicum of self awareness. Probably not but you’re probably due a backhander 🤚
And racist??? Moi?? Last I hear I was a Muslim falafel salesman.
Drop the sjw act. You’re impressing no one anus licker
Marko
Yeah Er cos emery received 5 new defensive recruits and took the team backwards defensively.
No wonder you work in a post office…..
Tippy tappy tip tap
“Er computer says nooooo”
You’re impressing no one anus licker
That’s funny considering you’ve been trying so hard for months now to crawl up Charlie’s arse. Pedro’s too you little twerp
Marko Do you think Antonio Valencia on a free is some sort of a zinger? In a discussion about Man United players leaving on a free this summer I said he’d do what Licht was supposed to if we go that route again. I stand by that 100%, and would much rather Valencia was backup than Jenkinson. “I love how people like yourself have backflipped on the whole criticizing of Emery for spending 70 million last summer on defensive players and us not improving and now it’s ruthless efficiency when they’re being discussed as Sven signings.

patethic as usual from one of the worst posters in Le grove history. the last 2 windows? You mean the one in January where we didn’t have any money and this one with 3 weeks left? Hysteric much? I don’t see any dithering now, I see us trying to make as many deals happen as possible with limited funds, unlike before when Wenger actively shunned the transfer market. I’m not surprised you can’t see the difference, since you’re a dumbfuck and all. we’ll see how it ends up but there’s actual hope that we can pull a good window for… Read more »
The idea that Aubameyang to Arsenal was a function of scouting by anyone is laughable.
I mean whoever really heard of him before his Arsenal transfer?
Not I, that’s for sure. Auba who?
Chelsea, Dortmund ,Arsenal three players swap was the catalyst, and the fact Arsenal offered to quadruple his Dortmund earnings convinced him to leave a CL club come to a EL club.
Mega wages, signing bonus and a huge loyalty bonus practically guaranteed Auba’s best behavior for as long as he’s sporting Arsenal colors.
Kay boss
“I hope we don’t become a selling club when our signing reach their potentials”
Actually I hope Everton Soares becomes close to world class and we sell him for 150 million.
Guen was a great find and Arsenal will make a profit if and when they decide to sell him.
Let’s not pretend, However, that he’s been a great performer for us thus far.
Due to his young age and lack of positional awareness he cost us many points last season.
Torreira is a decent player but don’t count your profits from his future transfer just yet. It’s difficult to get top dollar for a player who’s shouting from the roof tops he hates everything about England and wants out.
Marko
Naaaa I just love it every time they haand your hairy little Jackeen arse back to you on a silver platter. Glroious watching such a smug, pompous, misguided fool get made to smell his own shit like a naughty little puppy every time you have a lightbulb moment.
Lightening never strikes the same spot twice unless marko is on le grove
Pierre “Torreira had an excellent first half of the season up until the manager decided to play him more as a box to box midfielder …..mistake by Emery.” Torreira isn’t a box to box midfielder and Emery has never used him as one. The most impressive aspect of Torreira’s play when with Sampdoria in a midfield three was harrassing and pressing opponents higher up away from his own penalty area with the other DM slotting in behind him. Now Torreira only has Xhaka to play alongside him who is poor off the ball and defensively. I think we know your… Read more »

Anus licker
Erm over £200m in cash reserves
Try again dopey
“I don’t see any dithering now”
Jesus wept. You should have gone to spec savers then.
we’ll see how it ends up but there’s actual hope that we can pull a good window for once, there was never that under Wenger the last 15 years or so.
Anus licker
Yeah the summer we signed Sanchez trumped anything done in any of the last 3 windows without him.
Must try harder 😂 😂 😂
You won’t see emery pull anything half as good as Sanchez to Arsenal
Or Raul.
The only hope we have is Edu
“Erm over £200m in cash reserves
Try again dopey”
Sure Einstein, we have a 200m transfer budget, who the fuck is dopey here?
Where is the dithering? Do you know what that means? I though you’re supposed to be english, guess dropping out of school in 6th grade or whatever it was didn’t do your vocabulary any favours.
Trying for targets and failing because they’re too expensive is not dithering btw.
Maybe if your alleged wife cleaned her ass more than once in a blue moon you wouldn’t see anus licker as such an insult, just saying.
Yep. All we needed that window was a winger, no other needs or positions to fill, ffs Don, take a breath and try to use that miniscule brain of yours before you start dribbling on the keyboard again.
Everton match Arsenals bid for Saha.
Maybe if your alleged wife cleaned her ass more than once in a blue moon you wouldn’t see anus licker as such an insult, just saying.
Only on Legrove the blog of lube
Priceless!
Yes I can
But if West Ham, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Leicester don’t have those cash reserves yet still out spend us on much less income then I’d say that the £200m cash reserves don’t really need to be held in reserve
Freddy
And all we have now is a winger Hahahaha you mug
Funny that Mr Dumbfuck can name 1 player in 15 years that supposedly proves Wenger was great at transfer windows, you can’t make this shit up.
The flat earthers will deny the Mislintat interview ever took place much like Armstrong’s steps on the moon.
Is the window closed dribble dribble?
We also signed that season
Debuchy
Welbeck
Ospina
Chambers
And Gabriel
To add to the best player we’ve had since RvP was sold
Much better summer than anything done since weng left the building
Anus licker
You’re dribbling.
Anus
I never said he was great at transfers but this kit are even worse!! Hahaha
Stop moving the goal posts. You said “I don’t see any dithering now”
Nooooo. We are snapping players up all over the place aren’t we??
Hahaha
whats cracking folks?
Any signings today?
Yawwwn
Sal
I don’t see anyone denying the interview took place, the issue is whether Sven is acting like a lover scorned or not? And if his approach was all that great in the first place, and if we should have promoted a person who obviously can’t work in a team. Pretty valid questions in a boring, ultimately pointless discussion imo.
Yes I can
But if West Ham, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Leicester don’t have those cash reserves yet still out spend us on much less income then I’d say that the £200m cash reserves don’t really need to be held in reserve
The biggest con Kroenke perpetrated on Arsenal fandom is the idea he’s been peddling that Arsenal can’t spend more of that £230m cash reserves for the fear of braking some bs regulations.
Any signings today?
Yawwwn
Whatever have you that impression? Did we re hire Sven?
Chitom
Exactly!!! Somebody is talking sense

“We also signed that season

Thanks for proving Wenger sucked at signing class players, saved me the effort.
Not signing anyone so far and dithering is not the same, get a dictionary, a nice change of pace from the toddler books on your reading level, ask an adult for help if you still can’t figure it out.
Do you think Antonio Valencia on a free is some sort of a zinger?
Oh totally laughable considering his decline the last few years how a aged Young and Dalot are preferred and our recent history with signing up 34 year old back up RB’s. Can we not just sign up a RB that’s better than AMN and Jenkinson? Should be easy enough and cheap enough don’t YOU worry about the price.
Sf
Sorry mate
It’s the over powering stench of Freddie’s breath after willingly cleaning more bum hole
And then bragging about it
What a cuck.
Freddy
As opposed to Martinelli and Suarez???
😂 😂 😂
Hahahahaha
Please stop. I can’t take it any more. Go clean some bum little doggy.
The flat earthers will deny the Mislintat interview ever took place much like Armstrong’s steps on the moon.
Great point?
Freddy v Unnai

Such a baby. Afraid you’ll get the cooties?
I mean I don’t blame you honestly, any woman crazy/desperate enough to endure your presence must have one hell of a stinky asshole.
Shit if a dog owner sees its dog licking bum hole he corrects it
Freddie willingly participates
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Suarez was a short term loan and was our 3/4th option in a window were we couldn’t sign anyone permanently because your daddy Wenger fucked up our wage bill and wasted our money on shite players we can’t get rid off.
Yes, we signed Martinelli this window, way to pay attention, there’s hope for you yet. Is the window closed though?
I’m not saying we’re going to smash this window but if we pull off a couple of the names we’re heavily linked with you’ll look pretty stupid.
oh, no, forgot, that ship sailed a long time ago. Carry on.
“Such a baby. Afraid you’ll get the cooties?”
No I’m afraid of licking a person’s shit hole
“I mean I don’t blame you honestly, any woman crazy/desperate enough to endure your presence must have one hell of a stinky asshole.“
Er not with what I earn anus licker.
And Er, You do know licking other people’s bum holes isn’t the ONLY way to clean it Freddie. You must have had an interesting upbringing.
Why is painfully dim and pathetic talking about ass licking all the time? Is he trying to start a conversation on gay people so he can bring his homophobia to the fore

I’m not sure, but it’s pretty amusing tbh.

“Suarez was a short term loan and was our 3/4th option in a window were we couldn’t sign anyone permanently because your daddy Wenger fucked up our wage bill and wasted our money on shite players we can’t get rid off.“ Yeah Er, once again anus licker, we have over £200m in cash reserves “if we pull off a couple of the names we’re heavily linked with you’ll look pretty stupid.“ As stupid as you look after publicly admitting you lick arse holes willingly?

I love how all the players Arsenal signed in 2018 are being directly attributed to Sven, didn’t Raul join in late 2017 so he was here at the time. With the money available this window, our transfer business was always going to drag on as we need to make the best use of the funds available. We are simply not in a position to say, right you want £80m for Zaha, here you go, which in reality is the only way transfers get done quickly. I like the ethos in bringing in Martinelli and Saliba as we look to build… Read more »

Yeah. Sven has serious links to Germany and France
Raul only to Spain
2+2= 10 yeah?
I am actually feeling quite excited about the season and while there is a lot of work still to do we seem to be moving in the right direction for the first time in a while.
Yeah
In the Europa league again after being presented with 5 opportunities out of it against inferior opposition in the last month of the season with a 4-1 drubbing as the cherry on the cake.
Yeah. I’m not sure that’s the direction I’d want to continue on
Marko
Yea everyone knows your brilliant strategy that ignores money. But back in the real world we don’t have cash to burn so your plans of a 20 mil RB backup is just ridiculous.
Meanwhile you try and ridicule a veteran freebie on the basis of Licht not being at the races. Genius. Again dismissing the vacuum in which the discussion took place, which was Man United players out of contract at the end of the season.
I’d not target him, but he’d be what Licht was supposed to be. Really not a difficult concept.
CC
“Yea everyone knows your brilliant strategy that ignores money. But back in the real world we don’t have cash to burn so your plans of a 20 mil RB backup is just ridiculous.”
Nah, we have 200m in the bank don’t you know, it’s all good, we’re just dithering.
“You must have missed Freddie’s humiliating confession”
Care to quote that Don? Seeing as your reading comprehension is what it is you might need some help with the written word.
Unai – That’s my point re Sven, nobody really knows what went on, effectively transfers are as a result of several people at a club not just one man. With Sven gone we are still linked with some exciting talent and seem to have secured Saliba who only time will tell if that was a genius move. Sven has gone so we need to move on, waste of time looking back other than to learn from any mistakes made. The end to last season was extremely poor, but since then we have promoted some exciting talent to the first team… Read more »

Same
He was in here yesterday given it the big’un
They’ve lost hazard
You won’t be hearing much from him this season I’ll erm hazard
We’re apparently looking to offload Jenkinson to Crystal Palace for 5m, would show them for being dicks about our very reasonable Zaha offer. Great bit of business if we can pull that off, about 4.9m above his actual value that.

ah, so that was the great confession you’re running around screaming about with your pants on fire?
Cool.
Marko
Thought we have nobody to sell?
Again, it’s not a hard one to understand, it’s a matter of priorities and how to make the biggest gain with the modest amount of money.
Having two quality RB’s middle of the season is stupid. For a guy that Champions 19 squad changes per summer, you really haven’t a clue of the basic principles. Couldn’t work it out with Saliba, now you can’t fathom how spunking good money for a RB when Bellerin is coming back is a daft use of funds.
Pants on fire??
How old are you man?

It’s a long way from the top of my insult list but seeing as you readily admit you love a bit of rimming then the shoe fits and I’m going to make sure you wear it.
Thought we have nobody to sell? All over the place. We’ve loads to sell it just ain’t as easy as typing in feelers. Again, it’s not a hard one to understand, it’s a matter of priorities. If AMN and Jenkinson are your options then a starting RB becomes a priority. Couldn’t work it out with Saliba No idea what you’re talking about here. It’s possible that you were arguing with someone else about some stupid opinion you had on the Saliba signing. I’d rather not rehash it.
