“Better Call Raul”

Oh Pedro, what hast thou done? I don’t like it, I love it 🙂

Leftsidesanch

Well played Raul, had doubts but these have been allayed.

Danny

Decent window, too bad we didn’t get a new manager.
He couldn’t even beat C.Palace and Brighton at home when it mattered.
Another season of Thursday night bollocks.

Freddie Ljungberg

Don

“Incomings: £138m (Martinelli, Saliba, Pepe, Tierney, Luiz)

Outgoings: £54.5m (Ospina, Bielik, Asano, Koscielny, Iwobi)

Net spend: £118.5m”

Think their calculator is broken, they also forgot a couple of outgoings like Aemachi and Thompson, and the fee for Bennacer.

Net is more like 80m, with hopefully more sales on the way.

Still, an excellent Window and so refreshing to see as an Arsenal fan.

Danny

so refreshing to see as an Arsenal fan
——————–
Luiz? Refreshing?

Spanishdave

Good window will Emery deliver? Doubt it.
He can’t seem to settle with tactics he confuses the fans and players

gunnershabz

i think we are saving up for Upamenco next summer, which i totally get and gettind david luiz i dont mind

i can see him creating quick attacks from defence, especially the speed we have in attack

martinelli, nelson, auba, pepe and laca has some speed

with Dani Cabellos and xhaka are the links between defence and attack

i am curious to see dani c and ozil working together

with david luiz through balls, we might see a high line from the attack and ozil could benefit

Zoran

Having seen Raul what excellent Job he has done in one windows, I am gutted because of the useless years under Ivan the cunt.

Graham62

Can someone please clarify.

How much did we actually get for Iwobi?

According to some it was £34m with add ons.

Is this correct?

Zoran

Graham62
BBC Sports said it, so it must bei correct

Freddie Ljungberg

Danny

Was Luiz the only player signed? Why is a spud cunt still posting here after so many years, don’t you ever get tired? Don’t you people have your own blogs?

kenyangunner

Still moaning the exit of Iwobinho

We had months to find and sign a world class centre back that we’ve been crying out for for years and what did we end up with? A fuckin’ Chelsea has been.

Zoran

Freddie Ljungberg
Ceballos costed also something, apparently loan fee was £14 m

Danny

Don’t you people have your own blogs?

Oh I get it, Le Grove is your blog now…..
Wanker.

Graham62

Zoran

Yeh I know.

The really amazing thing is that some folk actually looked up to this ignoramus.

Had two large conifers removed by a local tree surgeon the other week. Did a brilliant job and only cost me £350 cash. Even vacuumed the garden for me. A gem of a character.

Had a quote from another guy who turned up in flash BMW with a clipboard smelling of Armani. Quoted me £1300 for same job. Gave me all the boring nonsensical rhetoric that some folk love.

Get the gist?

Freddie Ljungberg

We also spent 140m and had the best window of all teams in England, what the fuck are your expectations here? Did you think all the 20 players in the squad that Wenger left behind not good enough going forwards would be replaced in 2 windows? On an Europa league budget and bloated wage bill with many, many players difficult or impossible to shift for any decent fees? At least try to be somewhat realistic

Freddie Ljungberg

Zoran

Ceballos didn’t cost any 14m, if you don’t read the Sun like it’s the words of god that is. All other, more reliable sources say it’s between 3-5m.

Danny

No it’s not my blog, obviously, by you people I meant spuds, haven’t you been outed multiple times as a spud over the years? Yeah, thought so.

Wasi

My starting lineup for Newcastle
leno.
chambers,luiz,sok,kola
cabellos/willock, xhaka
ozil
pepe laca. auba
and if laca is not fully fit id swap with nelson.
But Considering Its emery we might see mykhi over reiss.

gunnershabz

do you lot think Dani C, Davd Luiz and Pepe will be fit for sunday though??

Wasi

Luiz had a full pre-season and cabellos should be fit enough for 60-70 minutes at least. Pepe is a doubt though.

karim

Another season of Thursday night bollocks.

Danny
I bet your week-ends will be much more exciting !

karim

The whole culture of the club is being overrun and at some point there must be a tipping point when those feckless bottom feeders and generally trash players will be severely outnumbered by the motivated achievers and at that point they’ll either need to adapt to survive or their bs will be even more on display and under the spotlight before they get binned off too.Good fucking riddance to the wenger era. Bleach it all, the floor, the curtains, the sofa. Leave the windows open for another year and let’s make this a real club again China, this was brilliant… Read more »

would you lot put david luiz straight into the first team for sunday

i know emery has started chambers and sokritis in the centre

Dissenter

Graham62
How much we got for Iwobi?
1. Too much
2. A lot
3. Club record fee
4. Robbery heist
5. All the above

It really doesn’t matter whether it is 28 million, 34 million or 40 million.
All the journos writing the story have not seen the contract.
We made of with more than we ever dreamed, that’s what is important.

fsaf

Graham,
Yeah I think the transfer fee for Iwobi is £28m + £7m add ons. Surely over £30m and not close £40m.

DUIFG

Nice podcast, not sure about the bloke with a axe to grind on josh kroenke.

Still stuck in the it’s the owners, oil money, arsenal class style thinking. It’s a bit pre 2016.

fsaf

Zoran: “Having seen Raul what excellent Job he has done in one windows, I am gutted because of the useless years under Ivan the cunt.”

Exactly. Still cannot fathom how Pedro thought Ivan is great and Raul is evil when it was vice versa the whole time.

….
Agreed. Pedro got sucked in by the Gazidis claptrap.

Ustyno

Am now convinced that Wenger and Gazidis were fraud,as in for years we kept different kind of stories till the window is shut,Raul with the little money is building the team by this time next summer we should know what we are capable of doing,Emery it’s over to you,if you underperform am sure you will be fired, gone are the days when one man will hold us to ransom…

HighburyLegend

Better call karima, he nose best.

HighburyLegend

And he post the same thing twice…

Micheal

The overwhelming feeling is that, for the first time in years, we are behaving like a proper football club. We have signed some quality players, allowed some unwanted guys to leave and created a sensible pathway for promising up-and-coming youngsters to get a proper chance at making it in the first team. We have also invested for the future, despite the opbvious short-term signings. For sure we will make mistakes and lose games we should have won. But with this squad and the new outlook, we have a real chance to make a decent challenge – something we know was… Read more »

Jamie

Super podcast.

For my money, the biggest troll move of the summer was Josh Kroenke showing up to a pre-season friendly in an LA Rams jersey to the sound of fan outrage.

A few days later, we announce Pepe. A few weeks after that, we move Iwobi out the door for £30m. Josh played an absolute blinder with that double bluff.

Don’t worry. I saw your post the first time, been working. You’ll get your response

I don’t think Luiz is allowed to play against Newcastle as his paperwork for his transfer wasn’t completed until after the 5 o’clock deadline yesterday (dealsheet submitted before 5 to allow for a 2 hour extension to complete).

China1

I’m loving the calf muscle index CG. I’m sold on that one! Tho there’s this Chinese guy in my local 8 a side league who has the thinnest, most impoverished looking legs you’ll ever see. Straight up annorexic stuff. Bizarrely he also has the most overpowered shot I’ve ever come across. ‘Rocket’ does do the word justice is fucking terrifying – and it’s all he does. No swept in shots, no curling efforts towards the top corner. Just one touch to control another to ‘launch’. There’s no accuracy in them but when you hit a ball that hard and that… Read more »

Words on a Blog

Wasi/Gunnershabz,

Ah ok I stand corrected

Emiratesstroller

Pedro Have just listened to your Podcast and agree with lot of the sentiments expressed. Some points I would make. 1. Arsenal have in my view “planned” their transfer window. The only unplanned signings and departures were probably departure of Koscielny and arrival of Luiz. 2. All signings we have made were first or second choices. I think that the only signing we missed was probably a replacement CB for Mustafi. Arsenal were either not able or willing to meet transfer fees demanded or clubs refused to sell. 3. I think that Arsenal have been properly scouting players and not… Read more »

Freddie

Yeah either way it’s great business. We’ve done £140m on players this summer on a £45m budget and it’s great

Pedro
Great podcast

Big shout out to the older yuppie chap. Really agree with almost everything he said in the podcast. Clearly has a lot of love for the club.
Not too keen on the old white men comment but everything else was spot on.

Why do you think we will go in for Coutinho?

Gentlebris

Can you believe those jesters on Sky saying Chelsea will make 4th and Arsenal 6th.

Why do they hate Arsenal?

One of the CGs on Sky even asked where we got the money we are spending.

Those guys are haters.

12 months ago Lich arrived . The same nonsense was Spouted about his leadership qualities, his experience, his abilities, etc etc He was a bloody disaster Louise will be the same. Sensible folk – now eulogising about his long range passing ability. Crikey- how gullible supporters are. AFC training ground is right next to Watfords training ground The better squad of players will entering their arena than ours. Impossible to see how we finish above them-let alone the real Big hitters! Whilst we are playing in far flung dung holes- they will be preparing for Saturday I have bought Watford… Read more »

Gentlebris

Luiz totally refreshing! What the fuck is wrong with you Danny?

Leftsidesanch

Gentle, I said that too on the previous post. They can’t even be unbiased when making predictions. If we don’t get into the CL then we’ve underachieved.

With the squad now we have no excuses. How those clowns can have weaker looking Utd and Chelsea above us is beyond me.

HighburyLegend

Terrifying, when you think about it…
Gazidis and Wenger made us lose 10 years of our lives, as Arsenal fans.
Hope they’ll burn in hell.

Danny

Luiz totally refreshing!

You’re having a laugh mate.

HighburyLegend

“What the fuck is wrong with you Danny?”

Ask CG, him and Danny are pals.

‘I have bought Watford to finish above Arsenal’

No you have not CG. You are not that crazy to set fire to your money are you.

Gentlebris

‘With the squad now we have no excuses. How those clowns can have weaker looking Utd and Chelsea above us is beyond me.’

What is beyond me is how anybody pays them for that disgusting act they always stage. Sky must be desperate for famous faces. Why not get some regular guys whose brains are in working condition.

fsaf

For real, whoever reads what CG spits out of his arsehole is equally dumb as him. Lol

CG

Gentle

(I hope you are sleeping well.)

Look at their squad of players

From dacoure ,capoue, cahambol and their forwards and tell me they are not on a par with our players.

We ain’t got their power that’s for sure.
Maybe more technical skills

If Deeney did not get sent off last year.

They would have pulverised us.

Our team is off Powderpuff Proportions.

Gentlebris

‘Terrifying, when you think about it…
Gazidis and Wenger made us lose 10 years of our lives, as Arsenal fans.
Hope they’ll burn in hell.’

I don’t wish them no hell but you can’t believe how you rock my ribs with that 😂😂😂😂

HighburyLegend

You’re welcome.

Gentlebris

‘5. I agree with minority view that Ozil might well surprise us. I have expressed
my opinion earlier today on previous thread.’

Pleasantly?
Because the only way Ozil could pleasantly surprise me is if he fucks off to DC or wherever.

Gentlebris

‘From dacoure ,capoue, cahambol and their forwards and tell me they are not on a par with our players.We ain’t got their power that’s for sure.

Of course you are right CG.

Even Deeny is greater than Auba, Lacazette and Pepe combined.

“””Of course you are right CG.”””””

CG is always right on UK soccer ( 87%) of the time.

I’d go hard for Coutinho on loan in Jan. Didn’t UEFA change the cup-tied rules such that a player (only 1 per club) can play in both the CL and the EL in any given season? Ergo, Coutinho could still turn out for Barca in their CL group games, and play for us in the latter stages of the EL. Tasty. Back-of-the-napkin summer financial activity: Outs – Ospina £3m (£40k a week wages) Kos £4m (£80k a week wages) Bielik £7.2m (negligible wages) Jenko £2m (£45k a week wages) Asano £1m (negligible wages) Iwobi £28m (£30k a week wages) Amaechi… Read more »

Everton must have clicked on the Yen option on their transfer or forgot to stick in the decimal point.

fsaf

Interesting which of Manure and Chelsea have the better squad. Chelsea lost Hazard, Luiz, Cahill, Drinkwater and got Pulisic. Manure lost Lukaku, Herrera, Valencia and got Maguire, Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James. Hazard is a huge loss obviously. One which they won’t be able to fill at least this season. Interesting to see what Lampard is going to do with Jorginho. They are probably banking their season on their youth and hoping that Zouma, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham will have a cracking season. It could happen to be honest. They are talented players. Lukaku as much as people didn’t like… Read more »

WengerEagle

Yeah both the Chavs and the Mancs will struggle badly in front of goal unless Rashford or Batshuayi step up massively, I’d give the edge in terms of strength to United but it’ll be close.

We really should be finishing well clear of both sides.

gunnershabz

look guys lets just support the team now, this is the squad we got

we have some exciting players, hopefully with luiz, cabellos, ozil spine you can see some great passing possesion game

Graham62

Let’s be honest, how much do we think Iwobi was worth?

£20m max?

No disrespect to Everton and their fans, but they’ve paid way over the odds for a lad that isn’t quite all there.

£35m was a great bit of business for us.

I wish Iwobi all the best

Coutinho is overrated better to bet on everton soares

I’m sure I read somewhere the reason for Arsenal being hated goes back to the 1920s and 1930s…..Arsenal were a class apart then: dominant on the pitch, tube station named after the club, first club to install floodlights, marble halls, art deco stands…the club just oozed class that others couldn’t match in London, let alone the rest of the country.

fsaf

“Arsenal broke their club record to bring in Nicolas Pepe from Lille (£72m), with Kieran Tierney, David Luiz, Dani Ceballos (loan) and William Sabilla also arriving. Sabilla was loaned back to St Etienne for the season while Aaron Ramsey, Petr Cech (retired) and Danny Welbeck all left the club.”

Sabilla to Saliba… Imagine working for SkySports as a sports journalist and not knowing the names of the players. Who gives job to these people?!

He’s not overrated. He has been class for liverpool and brazil. Not many go to Barca and excel there. They and Madrid are really difficult clubs. They don’t let players breathe. It’s sink or swim there. Joe many great players have sunk at Barca? Lots
Toure, Sanchez, ibra, dembele off the top of my head.

Is Sid Joe?
I was gone for ~ half a year so I didn’t know that lol.

TheLegendaryDB10

To add to Barney75

You need to also factor in the hate created by the North South divide where the South was perceived as richer than the North and they disposed us for that.

Arsenal was in some sense perceived like the toffs of football. And we always acted like it. We weren’t dubbed the Bank of England for nothing back in the 20’s & 30’s. We were rich compared to all the Northern clubs. We even broke the transfer record back then when buying Alex James!

from Arse.com David Luiz Expected to participate in full training ahead of Sunday. Kieran Tierney Groin. Will continue to receive treatment and assessments. Hoping to integrate into full training in 4-6 weeks” Big no thanks for me on Coutinho, we have much greater need in midfield and defense and wingers are the only thing the academy seems to produce so let’s give Nelson, Saka and Martinelli a chance as backups. We will need a Cam though eventually, especially if we can ship off Ozil to start his coffee shop empire in DC in January, but surely for that kind of… Read more »

Eduardo

With no CL to distract us I think we should beat Spurs to third this season. If we are lucky with injuries, we may even have the legs to push Liverpool for second, although that remains unlikely.

Also think we will win a trophy this season, most likely the Europa League.

It’s almost certain that we will be back in the CL next season.

Left testicle

Crimson, are you CG’s gynecologist? 🙂

Eduardo

We got double what Iwobi was worth – great business. Selling him also means that Nelson and Martinelli will get more game time as back-ups on the left wing. Both have a higher ceiling than Iwobi, and after a season of being integrated in the squad we should see the value of both players rising to £20-30 million plus. It is amazing we have been able to do such good business while still having £30 million + per year tied up in wages for the useless Ozil, Mkhi and Mustafi. It feels great to see the club being run properly… Read more »

Good article Don “Still being in the early stages of this transformation, there are inevitably the Gazidis mishaps who can’t yet be dislodged. An openness to moving on Shkodran Mustafi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan has thus far only seen dark in the night. Mohamed Elneny’s proposed move to West Ham never progressed while Mesut Ozil lives on as the decorative oxymoron in a team being reshaped around relentless work ethic. His haemorrhaging wages have become a burden virtually impossible to unshackle at this stage. But no transition is seamless, old cogs take time to unfasten and these were the stipulations Emery… Read more »

One of the best Pundits around Crouchie

Who knows the Game.Really knows the nuts and bolts of soccer.

And has:
Been around the Block
Been at Big Clubs
Been at Little Clubs.

Has Arsenal finishing 6th
Has Watford finishing 8th

He clearly is of the same opinion of mine- that the Watford squad is on a par with ours.

I guess, the best selling author and respected Crouchie is a Troll Too…..
