NO DEFENDERS AND WE SELL ONE – What’s in Raul’s magic hat?

by .

Cheerio Laurent Koscielny.

Was lovely to have you.

The best of a terrible bunch of players.

One of the few standouts in a banter era.

But ultimately, he’s the sort of defender the cucks loved. Or the fans that were unfortunate enough to come of age during the Wenger decline.

So often at the heart of terrible moments during our seasons. I’ll still remember that league cup final. The red cards. The penalties. And finally, going on strike.

He wasn’t captain material. Behind the scenes he’s been described to me as a difficult character and high maintenance. He also came for the easy life, which so many viewed as the ‘he loves us’ path. You saw in the end what mattered most to Laurent… Laurent.

Raul and Edu have done a great job. They’ve brought in a fee, they’ve moved on a disruptive figure, they’ve avoided Arsenal having to rely on a 33 year old that’s past it.

Now we have to bring in a defender.

It is getting silly now. We’re 48 hours from a deadline day melee. We have signed ZERO defenders. It’s getting so bad, Neil Lennon is trying to sell us on the fitness of Tierney. Upemecano is on then it’s off, then it’s on. Rugani reports read like a Mustafi shaped nightmare. Then there’s literally no one else causing smoke.

I am LOVING that we are still being linked with Coutinho, but that doesn’t solve our problems. We’re like the Fast Show guy.

‘Did you get me a left back and a sturdy centre back?’

‘Even better than that. I have Coutinho!’

‘You are fucking kidding me’

Not that anyone turns down a player of that genius, but come on, once the HYPE settles and we’re left with the same defence as last season with Xhaka as our captain, reality is going to bite… we just lost our minds this summer.

Still, we’ll be fun to watch.

Let’s see what today brings. The ITKs are out in force trying to see if they can get one over the paywall crowd… I truly HOPE someone has something right. We need a big centre back. We need a left back with pace and power. We need to do something to help a manager who is going to need all the support he can get this season.

Fingers crossed. See you on Twitter. x

Receding

Not having a moan. We were in Top 4 contention until the final weel in two of the last three seasons. Just saying that will still be the case.

Maybe read every word next time?

Marko

I think we’ve got the best DoF in the EPL

I dunno just yet about that but certainly he’s looking like a good bet to turn our fortunes around. Worth remembering Raul will be involved in the overall running of the club but from now on it’s going to be the Edu show with regards to transfers. You see it’s Edu’s world and we just live in it.

I bet the Kroenke’s are delighted with the Raul hire now. Finally someone smart looking after their investment

HighburyLegend

Pedro probably waits because the Luiz deal is not signed yet.

Apparently the FA has given a few more hours to some clubs for allowing them to send the papers needed.
That could includes us and the Spurs… their last desperate breath to bring Dybala.

Guns of SF

Im sure Edu tapped up Luiz too

Uwot?

Sky cont reporting transfer fee for iwobi £28 million plus £7 million add ons?yet all other outlets report £40 million- £35 million plus add ons.anyone got the facts yet?

HighburyLegend

And the Iwobi deal is also concerned… fingers crossed.

Pierre

if Luiz deal is done then a superb transfer window …good business by Raul all round especially holding out for that bit extra for Iwobi. Spending somewhere in the region of 130 million and sales in the region of 50 million ( possible more in the next few weeks) is money well spent as far as I’m concerned … Despite Dissenter dissenting about the sale of Iwobi , the signing of Pepe for 72 million and getting 40 odd million in return for Iwobi ,making an outlay of 32 million is a superb piece of business and will improve the… Read more »

“Who Is playing centre forward in The Loosers Cup matches?”

That’s actually a good point.

Jamie

I wonder how Stuttgart’s window is going.

HighburyLegend

“Six deal sheets were submitted ahead of the 1700 BST deadline.
Clubs have until 19:00 BST in which to submit the full paperwork.”

Marc

“After years of hearing how good Daniel Levy is… he has finally met his match.”

I seriously hope not – Levy is a fucking moron of epic proportions. Anyone who thinks he’s any good has the memory of a slightly retarded Goldfish.

HighburyLegend

“The midfield is the key”
But Ozil is not.
(sorry lil’ P., couldn’t resist)

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

What is this losers match dismal talks of.

HighburyLegend

Some fans really tracked Tierney’s flight to london ?? lol

Marc

Pierre just can’t help himself. Tries to disguise his comments behind a positive start but soon gets to form. Emery doesn’t like creative players, Emery doesn’t like young players, Emery doesn’t like talented players yada yada yada.

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

Marc

Levy got the Spaniard for 60m when they wanted 80m.

Think he is a hard businessman

Jamie

Now if we could just fuck Ozil off out the door and save the club £20m a year, this would be the best window ever.

Leftsidesanch

Emery Obsessive is Pierre

RSPC the idiot means Europa League. Absolute tool, types like a fat virgin troll.

Pierre

Nketiah going out on loan may prove to be an error of judgement.

Last season he didn’t get many games due to the fact that our 2 strikers were injury free , maybe we won’t be so lucky this year .
It could be that we have other academy players ready to act as back up.

Marko

No it’s not Paulinho nothing that deplorable says is good or a point. Also he can’t spell.

I would assume that we’ll see the likes of Martinelli, John Jules and Nelson and Saka early rounds. Nothing’s falling to shit because we shipped out Nketiah

HighburyLegend

Jamie please, a bit of respect for Pierre.

“Who Is playing centre forward in The Loosers Cup matches?”

———————————–

No it’s not. Obviously it’s Auba.,Laca or Pepe.

chris

John Jules to play in Ropey League matches? League cup also, club must have felt a 46 game season would better for Nketiah than 10 mins off the bench and 4-5 starts he would get here.

Bielsa a great coach to learn from too!

Left testicle

SKY to announce Luiz at 8pm.

Paulinho

“No it’s not. Obviously it’s Auba.,Laca or Pepe.”

We shouldn’t be playing them in the arse end of Belarus on a Thursday night when we’ve got a league game on Sunday.

John Jules is the only natural number nine in reserve.

Goonah

We have Nelson, Martineeli and Saka on the wings!

Goonah

*ll

Marc

RSPC

Go and make a list of the managerial appointments Levy’s made and then tell me he’s a great DOF / CEO.

“Levy got the Spaniard for 60m when they wanted 80m.”

What Spaniard? If you mean Lo Celso they’ve only signed him on loan.

Paulinho

Martinelli could play nine possibly.

Marc

He is of course Argentinian as well.

terraloon

Luiz departure confirmed by Chelsea

Jamie

HL –

I’ll light a candle for young Pierre when we finally get shot of Ozil.

chris

Luiz confirmed officially

Marc

Jamie – I’d prefer you to dig a hole for him.

Leftsidesanch

Luiz announced

Marko

I don’t see the problem what’s up did Nketiah become indispensable all of a sudden? Or is it Iwobi. If we can’t manage to find a third choice CF in a pinch out of the likes of Nelson, John Jules, Saka or Martinelli then what’s the point in having them.

Jamie

Marc –

I can multitask.

Luiz official on BBC.

Left testicle

Josh said we should be excited.

Pierre

Marc
“Emery doesn’t like creative players, Emery doesn’t like young players, Emery doesn’t like talented players ”

We do have outstanding creative and outstanding young talented players and we have a fantastic Opportunity to do something special .

Let’s hope it’s not another wasted season ….

Marc

Marko

There’s a reasonable chance Emery’s been told it’s CL football via the PL and Europe is not even on the radar this season. If the youth and youngsters can get us to the qtr finals then we can re asses.

LETS GOOOO

Verified
🇧🇷 David Luiz is a Gunner!

Pierre

Paulinho
Maybe martinelli is the answer.

Goonah

Loaning Nketiah was the absolute best thing to do! Both for him and us!

Marc

Pierre

Emery either gets CL football or he’ll be gone.

As someone said earlier all of a sudden we’ll be a completely different prospect when it comes to attracting new managers.

Arteta won’t get a look in.

Emiratesstroller

Luiz deal has been completed and announced by Arsenal at 8pm.

Surprisingly still no news about Iwobi.

chris

Raul is the one who knocks.

Carts

Generally if the paper work has been logged on that transfer system thingy, then the loose ends can get tied up late into the night.

It’s the submission of details that has to be logged before 5pm…I THINK

HighburyLegend

I’m sure chelsea fans are already shitting on this picture.

TR7

We should have kept Welbeck. He could play left wing, central forward as well as right wing.

Graham62

Is there anyone on here who is really upset that Iwobi is going?

I thought not.

If it’s £35-40m its frigging unbelievable.

Look, what has Iwobi ever given for us?

Lots of running and energy(Run Forrest run!)
Couldn’t see a pass.
No end product.
Zero goal threat.

Exactly!!

And we get upto £40m for all of that.

CRAZY!!!!

Cesc Appeal

So weird seeing Luiz in an Arsenal shirt

Marko

David Luiz made more through passes than any player in the premier league last season. I can see Pepe loving his balls…yeah you heard me

Jamie

David Luiz will create more chances than Ozil next season. And he tracks back.

Left testicle

Tea bagging?

Marko

New post

Left testicle

Jamie,
That won’t be difficult. I don’t think he’ll get much game time.

Jamie

New post, gents.

Goonah

I believe the £28M for Iwobi

£40M would be crazy like u say. But whatever…he’s gone

Oezil to DC United as Rooney replacement?? Is it a no go??

HighburyLegend

“I can see Pepe loving his balls”
Lol

chris

Hope Emery has his PlayStation controller charged up for Luiz!

Marc

“We should have kept Welbeck. He could play left wing, central forward as well as right wing.”

What do we do between mid October and the end of the season when he injuries his knee again?

Vintage Gun

“When Arsenal Knock, it’s a different kind of knock” – (Raul Sanllehi-2019)

I’m guessing Iwobi got a knock on his door this morning.

Dissenter

‘Despite Dissenter dissenting about the sale of Iwobi , the signing of Pepe for 72 million and getting 40 odd million in return for Iwobi ,making an outlay of 32 million is a superb piece of business and will improve the team immeasurably.”

Iwobi leaving is good for Iwobi
Iwobi leaving is good for Arsenal. We have his replacements already.
Iwobi leaving is great for the Arsenal academy which finally came of age.
I wish we received offers for the great Mesut Ozil like we did for Iwobi.
Stop making stuff up.

DaleDaGooner

Luiz done, Number 23 shirt, Elneny to stay?

CG

If The Clown plays any of our 3 Heavy Duty Forwards In The Loosers Cup on those horrendous pitches and one, two or three get injured for any length of time

We will be in a relegation battle.

Remind me, why Welbeck and Eddie were allowed to leave again?

Mcdon

Should have kept one of welbeck or Eddie.
