I cannot tell you how bloody good I feel today.
This summer has felt like 1996 all over again. That summer we landed Dennis Bergkamp and David Platt, which I think was pretty close to us onboarding Nike sponsor as a kit?
Back then, you used to have to hang around the bottom shelves like a perve.
‘Excuse me sir, what are you doing’
‘Nothing mate… nothing’
There was an absolute art to reading all the transfer gossip across 5 papers without buying one. I was the master of it. In fact, I would say I took a paper round at 11 years old purely to land a deep velvety fix of transfer gossip every morning. The other boys smoked and stole chocolate, I landed my kicks reading about what Arsenal were up to.
Think about how good this summer has ended up…
All the boring ITKs have had to hibernate. They’re scraping the barrel informing us about medicals they aren’t privy to. Literally no one, bar the UNTRUSTED MSM had the goods this summer, and it’s so fucking great. All these muppets that have a voice on Arsenal because they guessed a transfer correctly in 2014 need to delete their accounts and take up a new hobby.
Anyway, Raul has put on a show this summer after a really poor start.
He absolutely bodied the fans who savaged him at the Q&A, despite knowing what was coming.
He trashed the agenda narrative I was formulating about him being a total chance who couldn’t deliver.
He took us to the Darkside with the big agents.
Think about it… we literally didn’t know ANYTHING about Nicolas Pepe. He has been a Le Grove pin-up all season. He was going to be the… ‘we’re rolling with Perisic, United sign Pepe, I hate football’, and now the Spanish papers are perving over our attacking lineup.
Big question for you, is Raul bigger than David Ornstein? He could be, he could be.
We haven’t even spoken about Dani Ceballos. He’s somehow managed to take a backseat in all of the madness. He’s a superb loan deal for us. He’s highly technical, which couldn’t always be said of Ramsey. He’s grown up in a winning environment. He can pass, shoot, move the ball through midfield at pace, and hopefully offer us lots of creativity. We just need him to hit the ground running, adapting to the pace of the league is going to be tough for him.
The Tierney deal will no doubt go through and I’m sure we’ll see something in the centre back department move as we try desperately to ship out Mustafi and Koscielny.
I think the other important point the fans miss is this: Players LOVE new players at the club. There was often talk in the Wenger days that big names on big money disrupt the dressing room. Not true. Big players want to play with big names. Don’t tell me Auba and Laca aren’t over the moon about the two new attacking additions. The new energy is also a threat to Ozil and his name at the club. He’s going to have to perform for his absence to matter this season. The whole summer now feels electrified, which will also work wonders for the fans in the stands.
The most important part of this summer for me isn’t really this year, because I still think we’re going to have a tough time of it… it’s what this summer means for next season, and the season after that, and the one after that.
There seems to be a clear strategy emerging and it’s not Dortmund+, it looks more like Bayern Munich.
We’re picking up elite youth talent (Gnabry > Saliba), we’re hunting down value from major clubs (Thiago > Dani Ceballos (bit of an ish here, but we did try to buy him)) and we’re splashing big on the right young players (Leroy Sane > Nicolas Pepe).
We’re bringing people into the fold that have Arsenal DNA. We are trying to mold the club more in the identity of London/England with select youth players.
So basically, we’re still behaving like a Champions League club and the vision is go big but in a smart way.
In normal business, if you fail to spend your budget, you don’t get it back. Maybe that’s what Raul has been up to?
That’s why this season really is important for Emery. People have made a lot of excuses for him. Statistics don’t lie. Drab football doesn’t lie. The table does lie, but it doesn’t let you off the hook luck wise two seasons running. Emery has to fix the defence, he has to implement a better style of football and he has to win another deal next year… or it’s back to Sevilla for him.
Big year ahead people, I’m very excited.

Hello
Bankz is here for the Tr4phy again
2?
Trofee
4th
4?
BOOOOM
6th is the new 4th.
Straight flames on here today, bruv!
Pedro you spanner, we signed Dennis and Platty in the summer of 1995, not 1996. Surely any true Gooner knows that? Lol.
Almost as good as signing Dennis was seeing Spurs respond almost immediately by signing….Chris Armstrong! What a contrast, absolutely hilarious and a source of serious Spud ribbing ever after. If Pepe has half the impact that DB10 did he’ll do well.
Don You can’t help being a prick can you? In this market we are the only club that can’t take advantage because all our players that we want to shift are overpaid and underperforming big time, you don’t see that as a problem? Also Bielik went for 10m, not 20m. In 18 months that’s our highest fee, that’s actually pathetic. You still don’t understand that we had very little leverage with players like Welbeck and Ramsey that were down to their last year, and I don’t think you ever will, you’re just too dumb. I would wait until Mustafi actually… Read more »
If we sign also Dayot Upamecano and Kieran Tierney, I will be all over the moon.
So what would be your line up for Newcastle Pierre?………..
“Anyone who cannot apologize when they get things wrong is not worthy of an interaction. You called me a liar and when i proved you were the one who worded your post wrongly you acted like you never saw it“
Pot, kettle.
What about when you lied about numerous things I’ve said, had them posted, had your lies exposed, then seen yourself vanish and act like it never happened.
Forget Shrek, living ignorantly in his swamp, you’re more Harry Potter.
If Solanke and Jordon Ibe are £20 million players in the mind of club chairmen and managers, then in one year time Bielik is likely to be a £25 million player.
One he prove himself in the Championship, offers will come for the England FA home grown (spent three years at Arsenal before 21 years old), Polish International defensive midfielder who can also play CB as part of a back three.
CC
Who are you and Valentin in this Shrek scenario you like to drag up all the time?
I’m guessing Valentin is Pinocchio, that’s pretty obvious, you can’t be Donkey because he’s too funny. Maybe prince Charming?, or Rumpelstiltskin?
Emery has to deliver a top4 finish.
If he goes 1 better in the Europa as well ? It’s a bonus.
We’re not on City’s level, Klopp has over 28 months on Emery.
It’s Chelsea + United we should be aiming to be above next season, as their managers are further behind Emery.
We should renew Emery’s contract now, even if privately it’s understood we have option to terminate if we don’t make CL.
The last thing we need going into final weeks of the season, is another tear up and speculation about our managers future
I don’t get why some people still have to be negative. I must admit – this window has taken me back a little – the year we signed Vieira, the year we signed Suker, the year we signed DB10 – i would have been overjoyed if we’d have signed a CB tho (and if we had Ceballos permanently) – but the window isn’t done yet, and even if they don’t get one, i’m sure it wont be for want of trying. Our club has seemed to be rotten to the core for so long – but this summer makes me… Read more »
Val, If were acting smarter I would imagine we will be getting a slice of any further Bielik transfers.
We dont need to worry about valuations of fringe players.
Probably Rumpelstiltskin though, you do love your fine print, vaguely worded posts and exit clauses.
Pedro Yes I am more energised this season. I think that we have made some decent acquisitions and provided that we bring in one or two competent defenders I think that we will compete for a top 4 finish. I have made a post on the last thread where I suggest that there is no longer a requirement for a wing back on the right side of the pitch. We can and should play a full back who is able to defend properly. Bellerin and Maitland-Niles will need to learn the new role better than they have done before. Both… Read more »
Rich,
Why renew now?
Emery is currently on a one year contract with an option to extend if he meet his targets.
Even with Pepe and Ceballos, There is is no guarantee that we will finish top 4.
Top 4 also looked like nailed on 6 games before the end of the season, so there is no benefit in renewing now. I can’t see any European club with more prestige than Arsenal offering him a job right now.
@Rich
I bet we will celebrate St Totenringham again comming may
“Probably Rumpelstiltskin though, you do love your fine print, vaguely worded posts and exit clauses.”
LOL
Too bad Valentin isn’t as well versed in the language as he is hence is easily caught out, he on the other hand can keep wriggling even when everyone knows its BS
Stroller,
As a question of principle I agree to buy fewer players each year but of better quality rather a larger number of average players. However this year it is different.
We have no defense and no central midfield.
We have mortgaged our future on getting into the Champion’s League. But we all know that getting in the Champion’s League with Xhaka and Mustafi as spine of the team will be very difficult.
I would take an half decent CB even on loan and get rid of Mustafi at a discount price to stabilise things.
Rich i think his contract is fine as it is.
Meet your targets get an extension, he might even get an extension if he fails depending on how the season goes, he doe have an option for a year on his deal
Completely agree with your last sentence Valentin!
Andy “So what would be your line up for Newcastle Pierre?……” Depends who plays v Barca , we will then have a good idea of who ‘ s available. Personally, as it is against Newcastle and one would presume we will have a lot of the ball, I would go 4-2-3-1 . Taking out the long term injured and players coming back from holiday , if the rest are fit I would play Pepe-Lacazette-Aubamayang up top …Ozil behind ….willock and Xhaka in midfield …..AMN-Sokratis-Mustafi.-Monreal ……Leno. Not an ideal defensive line up due to the reluctance to strengthen the defence which… Read more »
Freddie
I’d talk less about things you patently don’t get. Stick to football, oh wait..
Nvm, as you were, can’t live your life in absolute silence. Be free, child of god
I feel that, to be realistic, we need two quality centre backs – not one. Ideally, I would aim for one permanent signing and one loan, given our finances.
Being realistic, Kos is gone, Bielik is gone and Mustafi is probably gone. This leaves Holding (fitness and return date uncertain), a solid but pedestrian Sokratis, an unreliable Chambers and an ageing Monreal as our only central defenders. No one wonder Emery wants Kos to stay.
One central defender is essential but two would be better.
Another Day Another Excitable Post. Another Thank You to the wonderfully optimistic PedRo……. We can continue to sign players until the cows come home-it dont make a shred of difference- if you ain’t got a system or strategy.. Come Sunday evening after Barcelona have probably spanked us we will have a week before the first game of the season… And does anyone have a clue( including our players) what formation we intend to play up there? Will we even give the first team out a run out together before Newcastle utd? We failed to qualify for the CL last season… Read more »
i do think we will see 2 new signings next week weds/thursday
tierney they can take there time as he is injured
but i think rugani will be the loan signing they will get
Umitit could be a possiblity if barca really need cash for neymar
i know they sold malcolm for £36m
“Not in a million years- This Clown will get us Top 4.”
If top four is what winning looks like to you then you are a loser.
If we can’t get Tierney how about the young left back from betis firpo ?.
Micheal,
On the Koscielny situation Emery got a raw deal. Clearly Emery was relying on him for a good final season in the premier League. Sokratis and Koscielny as first choice bedding Holding as Koscielny replacement. Next season phasing Sokratis out by Saliba. Chambers and Mustafi as substitute when needed.
A month ago, It should have been clear that Koscielny was not going to be convinced to stay. The situation should have been resolved much more quickly and a replacement even on loan brought in.
Rumpel would that be the Shrek movies or the fact that you’re a weasel? I just rewatched all the Shrek movies in the last couple of weeks with my kids and you have proven your weaselness (so sue me, I made up a new word) on here for years. Oh, let me guess, I don’t get football because I don’t worship at the altar of the lord Wenger and don’t blame all our current woes on the new management? Ok, got ya. Cue predictable response that you really secretly wanted Wenger out for years and you’re just misunderstood, really, it’s… Read more »
Renewing Emery’s contract gives us stability, and also gives him authority. However….. very privately within his contract, there’s should be a CL clause that isn’t made public, and that the club denies its existence. That takes away the instability surrounding the managers future as the season progresses. Gives us an out, if he fails? And we wish to try someone else. Gives Emery authority inside the dressing room. Also I’d like to see a few young lads given chances, Emery is much less likely to do so, if he thinks he’ll be punished for it. Managers need time to work,… Read more »
I will be more than willing to see us have a mixed bag season if the overall direction continues to point upwards as per this summer It should be that next year we go hard for a couple of key players (presumably a CM and could still need a top CB) and other signings just as cheap peripheral bargains As much as our defense will continue to piss us off this season, we went into the summer with a good but slightly off balance attack, no midfield and no defense. Looks like we’ll head into this season with a top… Read more »
“If we can’t get Tierney how about the young left back from betis firpo ?.”
Always found it weird we seem not to have a Tierney alternative
I mean if the alternative to Zaha is Pepe then our alternatives aren’t bad @ all

Was all about the match and shoot
What was the little cartoon footballer they had in it again? Ginger crew cut. Can’t remember
Hairline
Always had you as older. There you go.
He was married to Carmen Ejogo
Some woman her
@Sussexgooner
I think he is on his way to Barcelona. But how about Sessegnon, , can’t stop trolling the spuds since we took Saliba
Receding who would u go for instead of Tierney ?.
Zoran from what I read there not in for him anymore ?.
“Hairline Always had you as older. There you go.

Turned 33 in May, i am still quite young,
@Valentin
we have also Mavropanos. Everybody at the club rates him highly, why shouldn`t we?
Freddie
No you don’t get the Shrek reference, and you feel suitably left out so you’re trying to join in, missing the mark entirely.
The altar of Wenger? Never knew such a thing existed, obviously you spend a bit too much time invested in such things.
I’m a weasel now? Oh dear, some faceless Swedish fanny on the internet has called me a weasel, that’s totally killed my vibe for the weekend ahead that has.
Get another cartoon in you ‘with the kids’, you’re obviously searching desperately for something to do.
Managers with long term contract still get sacked. The ink on Mourinho’s new shinny contract was barely dry when he got pushed out.
A long contract does not give a manager authority. It is one of those intangible that comes from internal and external factors. Personal charisma, knowledge by the staff that the board has his back and positive results give a manager authority.
I’m not one for gloating but do find it amusing that the anti establishment lot have now turned to Kos and Bielik as problems…. running out of stuff to moan about.
A good start in the leagues and some folk on here are going to be suicidal
Firpo is solid too.
Zoran,
Mavrapanos seems to be made of sugar or balsa. Always injured.
Also he need to play with a mentor as he is still rash and trying too hard to impressed. Unfortunately the Greek octopus Sokratis is also too impulsive so despite his experience would not be a calmer influence on him.
A one year loan at a Championship club or German club would do him wonder.
Receding I turn 30 in September but I’ve noticed a slightly thinning patch around my crown…
Thankfully I trialed shaving my head a couple of years ago to see if I’d cope without hair and seems my head shape is passable so considering taking the plunge and shaving it all off again tomorrow lol
Rumpel
I got the reference just fine thank you, it’s just a shit reference when Shrek didn’t actually stayed in his swamp for more than about 10 minutes in the first movie.
Oh, I thought the altar was still at your place? Did you guys move it to Pierres sex dungeon.
Don’t knock Swedish fannies until you’ve tried one.
I live on a tropical island so I’ve got plenty to do thanks, thanks for your interest in my affairs though.
China1 hairlines aren’t really age related in all cases. Dunno why i will want to lie about my age to begin with. Genes play a big role in hair loss too.
I think Emery should start exercising a 4 3 3 formation this Sunday vs Barca. It is an away game against a strong opponent.
Mav was having a section with the medical team when Pepe came in for his. I hope he recovers and stays fit.
Pedro, so Raul ain’t the evil vilian from Spain who came to rip the soul of our progressiveness our dear Sven warned us about? Good to know.
Sussex i won’t go for Ricardo Rodriguez that’s for sure. Danny Rose would have been an option if he didn’t play for the Enemy, reliable player. 29 now though.
Jamal Lewis of Norwich is another, i like all things Norwich. Exciting team last year.
And Barcelona are still very much interested in Firpo, some say the deal is pretty close
guys what you think
Malcolm to Zenit for £36m
apparently Everton Soares deal would of cost around £60m with those third party costs
Maguire to MU done.
China I love hair. Very much. If I have to be forced to shave off my hair before I will it I might be depressed
Gunnershabz
I think it’s fair to say Pepe is twice the player Malcolm is. 😄 See what I did there?
Also Everton for 60m maybe would represent more of a gamble than 72 for Pepe
“Maguire to MU done.”
for 80m..most of it upfront. Costlier than VVD with none of the sauce
85m plus add ons for Maguire? Holy shit are Man U overpaying on that one, sure he’s a solid player but even with the english premium he’s not worth more than 40m.
Upamecano is rumoured to be available for €30m, even if that was 40m he would still be far better value at 20 years old and massive potential.
What an absolutely brilliant football club Leicester City are.
Bought Maguire from Hull for buttons
And Kante, Mahrez and Vardy, next to nothing…
Got a memorable League title win under their belt.
Genius Foxes…
Great Signing too for Man Utd
Locks them in the top 4.
Maguire is a natural leader.
(Has a bit of the Tony Adams about him)
Man Utd have their VVD in place.
And we are fancying around with Pepe and injured Jock full backs for 100 miiion
Total ineptitude .
We deserve the inevitable Backlash!
Freddie
I’m not explaining Shrek to you mate, but clearly it’s went over your head which just about explains the levels here.
Also, if you had plenty to do you wouldn’t be on a blog giving your ignorant two cents on convos that don’t concern you.
You bring precious little to the party in terms of wit, it’s like being badgered by someone off the sunshine bus. Just pick a window and make an afternoon of it, this is tedious for me.
Haha well I don’t wanna shave it off either but I would rather ‘baldify’ gracefully than carry a patch 😀 Thankfully I look passable without hair so I can accept it. Still a shame mind as I prefer a proper granit xhaka side parting myself! Doesn’t seem to be either age or genetic in my case, was probably stress. Lost my brother 6 years ago, live down the road from the massive Tianjin explosion that happened around 2013, struggled badly in China the first couple of years so I’ve probably aged more than my fair share in the last 6… Read more »

I’ll be gentle on you from now on in.
Valentin A manager with only a few months left on his deal doesn’t have authority, because he clearly doesn’t have the confidence of the boardroom, so why would he then have the confidence of the dressing room? Renewing Emery’s contract is a no brainer. If he succeeds? Brilliant If he fails? Then we have a stipulation written in his contract, that we can cut up his contract with no payout. We’ve seen with Wenger and Fergie what happens when players think the manager won’t be there again next season. The last thing we need is another cloud over our club,… Read more »

Jog on.
Rich
You need to learn from recent history. ManU had no reason to offer OGS a full term contract when they did – they could of waited until the end of the season. They didn’t and ManU’s performances went off a cliff.
If Emery is looking certain to get top 4 it will be assumed he will be offered an extension so no problem. If’s he’s struggling well it won’t be issue anyway.
“Thankfully I look passable without hair so I can accept it. Still a shame mind as I prefer a proper granit xhaka side parting myself!”

Oh, more dynamite patter from the tropical Swedish marauder and his tales of ‘I’m not bored, I swear’.
There’s no “can’t take it” rubbish, I just told you your attempts are boring because you’re as sharp as a fisher price knife. Just another one on here that’s sees black and white because you can’t process much else, you’ve got fuck all to say except tired incoherent Wenger rehashings.
Marc
I agree there was no need to offer Solksjear a contract, but that was because he was on a trial.
And the whole point of giving someone a trial, is that you can gather the largest amount of information possible, to make the most informed decision possible.
Emery is a different situation entirely, and we’ve got absolutely nothing to lose from extending his contract.
Question marks about the managers future, or any players future, are always unwelcome distractions.
China
Very difficult to drink a large glass of brandy right back with a syrup on
All mine came of years ago.🤒

You’ve kept me plenty bored over the years, arguing around in circles with everyone, defending Wenger to the hilt and being all around a tedious cunt, other than that I’m fine thanks.
I see in black and white because I don’t blame all our current failings that’s been building up for years on guys 18 months or less in their jobs like you do? Sure Rumpel, if that makes you sleep better at night.
I think emery staying or going is less of a distraaction because I don’t think the players or fans are loyal to him
It’s not the wenger days and also he’s not some elite name manager who players come to arsenal to work for
And if we give him a new contract and then don’t want him he’ll be expensive to fire. I’d say wait until the end of the season and then see
Krystian Bielik fetched us £10m? I wonder how much jenko would fetch us for being our player all these years. The way some folks here rate our reserve team players, one would have least expected Bielik fetching us that amount. It appears they ain’t as shitty as some itks want us to believe.
loving Raul pulling his finger out and getting things done. my only gripe would be this is what they should have done last year instead of hanging Emery out to dry by giving him a pitiful amount to spend. a mustafi replacement and left back and this will be the best transfer window in a hell of a long time. The more things go on, i’m not convinced about Tierney though. Where is the plan B? He isn’t the only left back in the world and Celtic dont seem to be budging about wanting more money up front. if thats… Read more »
China
Agreed, no need to renew his contract, if he does great then renew, if not let him go without having to pay anything.
If we need a new manager next summer I would imagine there would be a lot more interested in the job with our squad looking much healthier and hopefully all or the majority of the deadwood off the wage bill.
Speaking of balding do you guys remember when circa 2008 everyone in everton’s squad was bald and white???
That was some weird ass shit. Like a box of fucking eggs lol
There was one game with literally 6 boiled eggs wearing blue running around Goodison at the same time like some weird ass fetish from the manager
Johnson, graveson and chums…
7.5m pounds rising to 10m isn’t the price for “not shitty” players
Bielik is 21
Bayern wanted to pay 30m pounds for 18 year old Hudson-Odoi
Moving to the championship for 7.5m does not a great player make

I don’t know what to expect from emery this season even with the players at his disposal but i’m conditioning my mind for the worst though hoping for the best. Just don’t complicate things, don’t give 4 formations within 90 minutes, play these players to their strengths, sound out your formation and game plan with them, go over it again and again with them and don’t just get them confused
Oga Ade, you are comparing hudson odoi with bielik?? I’m not surprised again. Anything to win. I rest my case sire.

“Oga Ade, you are comparing hudson odoi with bielik?? I’m not surprised again. Anything to win. I rest my case sire.”
Just telling you what the going rate for “non shitty” players is. Saying because Bielik moved to Derby County(a team that would probably be relegated immediately they gain promotion) means that we reassess everything we know about our academy is shortsighted.

I think we should play a 4-2-3-1
Sit two midfielders deep. Defense first. Set the attack free.
I don’t think we need to over complicate things this season because the attack is up to scratch and the defense needs more protection, so we should set up that way
The best transfer gossip in the 1990s was via Ceefax.
So true Eduardo
