A little less football news to chew through today, but look, I’ll put in a shift regardless because that’s the type of player I am.
Bukayo Saka scored an absolute screamer against Austria to take the game for the mighty England. The 90 was quite uninspired if I’m honest. Gareth Southgate giving minutes to everyone felt a bit weird, no one needed to see Pickford between the sticks. It was fun watching Grealish draw fouls, people just love to kick him, a bit reminiscent of our very own Jack back in the day. He’s an awesome player, it’ll be very sad when he moves to Manchester City this summer… and Arsenal fans, please stop pushing him as an option on the internet, it’s depressing. Not as depressing as reading fans thinking they are too good for Raheem Sterling. What the fuck is wrong with people?
There’s big talk that Spurs are trying to lure Mr Conte out of self-enforced retirement to have a crack at Daniel Levey’s ‘CAN YOU HELP ME WITH A TROPHY’ problem. This move isn’t as banterous as Roberto Martinez. Conte worked wonders at Chelsea in season one, before things went south. He turned Inter Milan around. His pattern tends to be, step into a mess, win something, complain about lack of signings, get fired or retire as a result of petulance.
I honestly don’t know why he’d go to Spurs. Levy isn’t exactly free with the cash and the Spurs rebuild job is a big one. We’ll see though, who thought he’d replace Poch with Mourinho? Maybe Levey will give him control over transfers? Always remember he oversaw Morata, Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, and Ross Barkley.
There is a tantalizing rumour in the French press via Loïc Tanzi that we’ve been talking to Luis Campos about moving to Arsenal. I think we could all agree that a move like that would be immense for the football leadership at Arsenal. No one moves a club quite like him. A hire like that seems almost a little too smart for Arsenal, so I’ll hold judgement on that. He fits the bill though. He knows how to identify value, he’s good at picking coaches, and he’s built transfer eco-systems on small budgets… and won titles.
Arsenal will head to Florida this preseason for a Florida Cup with Inter, Everton, and Millonarios. UK Arsenal fans complaining they can’t go. Can you believe that? THIS IS NOT FOR YOU, NOT EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND YOUR NEEDS. I’ll be jumping in a camper van and heading down. I might even do some LGTV interviews. Should be fun.
Martin Ødegaard does not know what to make of Carlo heading back to Madrid.
‘He is a coach I know and with whom I had a good relationship when he was last there.’
‘In that sense, it is positive. But beyond that, one day has passed, so I do not know too much about what he thinks about things.’
The hiring of Carlo is a control move by Perez, so you’d imagine if the President likes Martin, Martin is what he’ll see in the side next season. There is also talk that he’ll be sent back out on loan again, so we’ll see.
Kola is coming back. Schalke can’t afford. Hopefully we can bin him off like we did Mesut Ozil.
The club announced the players released.
Men’s and women’s first-team squads:
Dani Ceballos
David Luiz
Leonie Maier
Martin Odegaard
Mat Ryan
No shocks there.
Let’s finish out on a FRESH podcast. Get your ears on it. I talk with Johnny about transfers out of the club, Willy Saliba, and the moves we should be making this summer. It’s a good one. No Arteta talk.
Absolutely hilarious about the Conte/Spurs negotiations coming to a halt. For 2 days their fans dreamed again. It’s a cruel game!
Let’s not forget Mourinho was brought in to win a trophy and failed. No guarantee Contr would have won anything and he would likely have left a similar storm behind him as Mourinho did.
Perhaps Nuno and Mendes will rock up there.
“France vs Italy final for me.”
—————————————
It couldn’t happen. They are in the upper half. They could meet in the semi if Italy could defeat Belgium.
In the lower half, there are England, Spain and Germany fighting it out.
Nelson
Strange that Sky Bet are offering odds on it then?
Why were people wary of Conte joining Spurs anyway.
We heard that Conte had won league titles with every club he joined but those clubs had won prior league titles to him joining and in living memory.
Spurs haven’t won a league title since the early 1960s.
He wasn’t going to win a league title with Spurs.
What’s doubly brilliant about the Conte fiasco is that it is now pretty much a certainty that Kane is a goner.
Conte taking over with funds to shake up the side is all that could have kept Beavis there, he’s been there and done the dance with Poch already with a better side and came out the other side potless.
Conte took just a couple of hours of discussions with Levy to say fuck this for a laugh, hilarious.
From BBC on Conte to spurs saga..
“However, negotiations have ground to a halt and BBC Sport understands there is no likelihood of them resuming.
Suggestions from Italy are that Conte was starting to have doubts due to the transfer budget he was set to be given.
However, Tottenham also had concerns as well.
The Italian manager has a reputation for buying ready-made stars whereas, under chairman Daniel Levy, Tottenham’s reputation has come through development and building teams, as they did under Pochettino”
So much for the crying and weeping here.
Conte doesn’t want to blemish his managerial career record obviously.
What 1961?
Fuck that he says
‘We heard that Conte had won league titles with every club he joined but those clubs had won prior league titles to him joining and in living memory.’
11 years for Inter Milan. I mean living memory yeah but that is an impressive feat considering he took a group of players that were barely scraping finishing 4th in the two previous years.
Pretty ordinary Inter side, 91 points was remarkable. 82 points and a runners up last season by a single point.
Would he have won Spurs the PL, no almost certainly not but he would have massively improved them.
Would swap him for Abraham tomorrow though and offer Laca a two-year extension.
That kind of thinking shows you can’t be taken seriously. Would be hilarious seeing a strike force of Laca and Tammy Abraham under this manager though… like Monty Python in their prime levels of hilarity
Pierre
Your arithmetic is on par with your judgement
Weagle
Spurs have already been in the top four before in recent seasons so if he “massively” improved then that would equate to a league title win.
Spurs ain’t going to win a league title.
Fuck me people just argue for arguments sake don’t they.
Why even hold talks if that was the case Ishola?
He was likely told in no uncertain terms that Kane would be sold and he would have to make do with what they have or buy a cheap replacement with the money going to pay off the stadium debt.
In which case he would have been stupid to take the gig.
Weagle thinks Conte was going to take Spurs to the heights lol.
No fucking chance,
Not when Spurs are Spurs.
What’s going on? Arsenal fans over-rating Spurs.
It doesn’t matter how good you think Conte is.
He would have been managing Spurs. Yes that Spurs.
Get it?
Ishola I think you underestimate the power of a good managerial appointment. Like I’d absolutely love for us to get Conte cause he’d likely take us from no hopers in 8th to champions league places and possibly beyond.
Marko
I don’t underestimate Spurs DNA.
1961 DNA.
‘ so if he “massively” improved then that would equate to a league title win.’ They’re just after finishing 7th and 5 points off of Chelsea in 4th, 12 points off of United in 2nd and 24 points off of City. They’re about to lose Kane by far and away their best player and talisman so I would say that actually improving to even top 2-3 would be a massive improvement. Ridiculous to suggest he would need to win a league. ‘Fuck me people just argue for arguments sake don’t they.’ You’re the one arguing for the sake of it,… Read more »
Phil Foden has a better shot than Saka. He won the PL young player award.
Weagle you just said Conte would “massively” improve Spurs.
Now Spurs are not a bad team and have been top four material for a while now.
So if he “massively” improved” them that would mean a league title win.
And Spurs don’t win modern league titles.
This is where I disagree with you.
‘Weagle thinks Conte was going to take Spurs to the heights lol.’
If they did snag him, better than us for the foreseeable, you bet your arse.
They’ve been on the downtrend for years now so it’s dim to say that he would only be taking them back to where they were, couldn’t give a shit if they fall short of the title I don’t want them nicking one of the four CL spots and with Conte, they would have had a much better chance of that.
Weagle
Spurs have been a side capable of top four for a good few seasons now.
What would be the point of hiring Conte if all he could achieve with them is the same top four that they are already capable of?
How is that significantly moving the needle in any way?
‘Now Spurs are not a bad team and have been top four material for a while now.’
They have been shite for a while, the CL Final run masked a lot of the problems that surfaced last season and this season. They were in free-fall in the league even during that CL run, couldn’t buy a result away from home.
6th last season on 59 points, 7th this season on 62 points.
Kane and Son have literally been carrying them to results. Crap team outside of those two with the odd sprinkle of Bale magic when he can be arsed.
Yea swapping Auba for Abraham would be just weird. How about structuring the team to make sure your best goal scorer isn’t chasing shadows and fighting high crosses all game
‘Spurs have been a side capable of top four for a good few seasons now.’
Have you paid any attention to the league table over the last 2 seasons?
Weagle
I said they are a side that are capable of top four.
Now you are telling me that Conte was going to do his greatness with Spurs and get them in top four which they were more than capable of a few seasons ago but have slipped a little since then.
Hardly a generational stuff is it like our Arteta.
And this is not even about Conte. It’s about the team he was being rumoured to join = Spurs.
But if say we got rid of Lacazette like we should, then I’d not say no to an Abraham though again if rather give Martinelli more game time at CF
Almunia
One of the best from your burgeoning songbook. The cockney rebel (s) would be delighted.
Ishola Sometimes I wonder if you’re a Keyser re-gen or the big fella on a different moniker, I don’t even know what you’re trying to argue here. Conte is an elite manager, he has won 5 titles in two different countries with three different teams and he built a dynasty at Juventus that Allegri took to new heights but was fortunate to inherit nonetheless. I like a lot on here and across the Arsenal community am delighted that they couldn’t convince him and will now have to settle for a medicore hire like Nuno or giving Poch another crack. Not… Read more »
Weagle
Conte would be capable of getting Spurs back into the position they were three seasons ago and prior to that.
Wop de woo. Amazing. “Massive improvement”.
It’s not about Conte. It’s about Spurs.
Even the Chelsea fans I know dont rate Tammy at all. And he is one of their own
Weagle
“Conte is an elite manager, he has won 5 titles in two different countries with three different teams”
But he wasn’t going to win one with Spurs was he now.
So this description is worthless as far as Spurs are concerned.
League titles? Spurs? No.
Man Utd confident they can sign Sancho. Top signing if it happens.
I was trying to find out who the blonde was in the Squeeze video Cool For Cats.
It has been said both girls were high on drugs when shooting the video. They looked like they were having a time for sure.
The blonde in leather trousers shaking her arse.
Come to think of it they were both in leather trousers shaking their arses but the blonde looked naughtier.
Ishola I’d say Levy or your average Spud fan would bite your hand off to be where they were in 16/17. They’re languishing in 6th/7th for two seasons now. ‘Capable’ of fuck all more like. This is a club that haven’t won a major trophy in 30 years or a trophy of any kind in 14 years. Levy and the Spuddies would be bouncing off the walls if Conte could even deliver them top 4 and a domestic cup. We’re not Man City so why are you so concerned with them fronting a title challenge? What relevance is that to… Read more »
Weagle
Spurs as well as having no true winning DNA also have delusional fans.
They were getting cocky and taking for granted their top four finishes previous to the last two seasons.
They would begin to take it for granted again if Conte amazingly got them back in top four . Amazing feat not really.
Somebody let Ishola down gently and break it to him that we are not among the league’s title contenders and haven’t been in the picture for over 15 years.
Our ambition next season is top 4, that would be an overachievement even given the circumstances.
Spurs with Conte would have made that a whole lot more challenging than them without him. What’s so difficult to understand about that?
Lol Eagle you’re such a patient man I’ll give you that
Weagle
Spurs can get back into top four without Conte.
They are not a million miles away.
But no league titles for Conte at Spurs.
Also you don’t know how Conte himself would react when he realises he is managing a club like Spurs who are not going to win a title whereas before he was at clubs that had some winning DNA as far as winning titles in living memory is concerned.
He himself may have been affected by this. No title? Then fuck it.
“That kind of thinking shows you can’t be taken seriously“ Unlike your super serious massaging of Pepe’s 39 goal haul of two seasons, fighting off anyone that points out the meagre 15 league goals within that. Gotcha. Auba is a dwindling asset on massive wages. His returns are the very definition of short term, he’s not a high value asset on the market, and any straight sale would be circa 15-20 mil at your very best (barely a straight face saying that). Abraham isn’t elite, but he’s a very good player with attributes massively lacking at CF for us, he’s… Read more »
”Spurs can get back into top four without Conte. They are not a million miles away.” They are a million miles away. They are losing Kane and Bale who were directly responsible for 34 of their 68 goals and 50 of their 68 goals if you include assists. Lloris, crap defence, awful CM, ordinary wide men and Son. You really going to be placing any money on them getting top 4? Lol, just send it over to me in that case or Bam Bam in Wagerville. Chelsea and United would have been out of sight with a proper ST, as… Read more »
And that’s not a prediction btw about Spurs in top four next season.
They could be capable if they sign a few right players and get a managerial appointment right other than Conte.
Spurs may have no true winning DNA and delusional silly fans but sadly they have shown a little more ambition than Arsenal for a good few years now as well as getting in overall better recruitment of players.
Just read that Norwich bought Buendia from Getafe, in 2018 for just over £1million. Our administration just couldn’t do shit.
Think it was Paulinho that said Abraham reminded him of early Adebayor.
It’s not a bad comparison although Ade for my money had the higher ceiling even as a raw youngster. Scored some very nice goals before his breakout season.
Weagle does like his over exaggerations.
What with Conte “massively” improving Spurs and Spurs being millions of miles away from top four.
I mean Auba only seems dwindling under this manager.
Weagle
“Think it was Paulinho that said Abraham reminded him of early Adebayor.”
He wasn’t the only one.
You against it Weagle. You don’t rate Abraham much.
I think he could surprise a few people but not totally sure about it.
Apparently Villa are ahead in the pursuit of Buendia
Ishola
Spurs minus Kane and Bale are a million miles off yep. You still haven’t explained how they are a ‘capable’ top 4 outfit outside of referencing 2 plus years ago, floor is yours.
Were you like Dissenter a big Hojberg fan, him and Winks are such a great pairing aren’t they lol.
Carlos Vinicius to step out of Kane’s shadow and smash in 25.
Yeah never really liked Abraham.
He’s yet to kick on from that initial purple patch under the obese one.
Weagle
I have never mentioned Holberg on here in any great praise.
Make it up as you go long why don’t you.
I in fact had to tell Dissenter to calm down with his talk of Spurs challenging for the title under Mourinho.
Weagle Can see that comparison I guess, Ade had way more raw talent though. I think Abraham is a good option to have in the attack, and would certainly prefer him to 32 year old Auba. We aren’t winning the league inside two years, and the idea we should funnel our attack (and resources) through an ageing talent is so ridiculously Arsenal of us. Then again you have people who will never agree to the fact Auba was a bum transfer to begin with. Transfer strategy is by far the most disrespected element on here, and seemingly within the walls… Read more »
I was asking the question Ishola relax.
Why do you rate this Spurs side so highly then, go on tell us.
Is it their fortress backline manned by the erratic Lloris that conceded 92 PL goals over the past 2 seasons?
Their CM of Hojberg, Winks and the mercurial N’Dombele ?
Or their litany of failed wide men/CAM’s in Bergwijn, Lamela, Lo Celso, Moura? Or are you a Dele Alli fan and are hoping for the return of the prodigal son from the wilderness of mediocrity? Lol.
Weagle You do realise that Spurs can go into the market with the Kane money don’t you? They don’t have to sit on it. Spurs are arseholes but if they get in a few right players along with manager they can start looking to get back to where they were a few seasons ago. That’s the difference you see between Spurs and Arsenal atm. Spurs have been out of top four for a couple of seasons while Arsenal have been out of top four for several more seasons. And they were shite this season and we still couldn’t finish above… Read more »
Weagle
I don’t rate Spurs highly.
That’s why I said to you that Conte has no chance of winning a league title with them.
But getting in top four is not winning a league title.
Arsenal were only two wins away from getting the same points as 4th placed Chelsea and Arsenal were rancid for half a season.
‘You do realise that Spurs can go into the market with the Kane money don’t you? They don’t have to sit on it. Spurs are arseholes but if they get in a few right players along with manager they can start looking to get back to where they were a few seasons ago.’ Have you been sleepwalking through the last 24 hours? Conte walked away due to a lack of ambition on the Spuds part. Kind of implies that they do not plan to reinvest the Kane money. As for the right manager, HE was the right manager. Now they’ll… Read more »
Weagle
You are over-rating top four.
I repeat Arsenal were rancid for half a season but at the end were only two wins away from 4th placed Chelsea.
Charlie Yeah preferred Ade. I’m not a big fan of Abraham, think that he likely ends up as a good PL striker but never breaks past the ceiling of a 12-15 odd PL goal a season one, like a Darren Bent/Yakubu/Defoe type. The Auba transfer ultimately made little sense after only giving Lacazette a few months. They had their moments in the EL together in Emery’s season and Auba was instrumental in the FA Cup win last year but pound for pound, 110m spent with neither having resale value and giving us ok production doesn’t speak to a massive success,… Read more »
Saying that I think top four will be tougher next season though.
Liverpool will improve. If they don’t that will be a shock to everyone.
Chelsea are likely to improve with more time under Tuchel.
Man City will be in there of course.
So that would mean no top four for Arsenal or Spurs again.
Would that mean a sacking for Arteta and laughing at Spurs?
Or just laughing at Spurs?
Ishola
Chavs with a proper ST are 10 plus points better off. I mean they had nobody that scored more than 7 in the PL, imagine how much better they would be with a Kane/Haaland. They have a very good manager and are excellent defensively, just won a CL title off the back of that.
Same goes for United despite the Cavani love-in of late. If they got Kane they would be 10 points better off.
Whereas the Spuds are losing Kane who has been propping them up.
And Man United have something to build on however unsteady or unconvincing they can be.
All points to one thing.
The sack for Tets.
How the fuck is Tets going to get in top four? lol
@zachlowy
Emiliano Buendía is one step away from joining Aston Villa, per the reliable
@CLMerlo
. The Villans are in advanced negotiations to bring him in and will deliver an offer of nearly €35 million.
Arsenal, who were also interested, never delivered an official offer to Norwich City.
‘Arsenal, who were also interested, never delivered an official offer to Norwich City.’
Did they not get our 35m offer with a mouldy pound coin sellotaped onto the side of it then?
So the usual smoke without the fire routine. I honestly wouldn’t lose sleep if we missed out
Chavs just took in a cool 25m for Tomori. The way it should be, player does well out on loan and they capitalise on that maximizing his value and cashing in at the right time.
Unlike us getting misty-eyed over cutting AMN loose for 20m, sigh.
Ishola All points to one thing. The sack for Tets. I can only agree, the problem is the club are never going to be proactive (and never have been really). I for one was curious about the Campos rumours to Arsenal and was secretly hoping this would be true. Of course Arsenal had to deny this story showing that change is not on the agenda. Next season will be very crucial. Not just about whether MA gets sacked or not but at what point do the club pull the trigger if MA performs badly. I believe that the Kroenke’s strategy… Read more »
WE likely to do the exact same thing with Willock
Edourd is closer to Ade than Abraham,
Abraham is the black Alvaro Morata
”likely to do the exact same thing with Willock”
Yep.
If we had any nous at all we would play off the fact that he’s coming off an incredible and record-breaking goalscoring purple patch and that he is young, English and beloved by the Newcastle fans too. They will try to pressure Newcastle into signing him on a permanent deal.
25m minimum, I’d look for over 30m even. Not at all barmy when you look at the Solanke and Brewster sums.
I am just going to put this out for contemplation.
If Emery can take Villareal to win the Europa League what do you think Conte could h ave done with the Sp*ds or for that matter of fact a competent manager do with this Arsenal squad. Everything points to just one point of change.
” Emery can take Villareal to win the Europa League what do you think Conte could h ave done with the Sp*ds or for that matter of fact a competent manager do with this Arsenal squad. Everything points to just one point of change.”
Nothing is a given in football. The same Emery did fuck all with us. He was beaten blue black in the final.
He could also be back to the Europa after the group stage in UCL.
Conte isn’t winning the league for spurs without spending a while lot of money which Tottenham can’t afford for now.

I’m told that Arsenal have ‘definitely’ made a bid for Emi Buendia and ‘really want’ him.
Crucial moments coming up for a player #AFC have been chasing for months
*if* we are genuinely interested in Buendia and *if* he ends up at Aston fucking villa instead, heads should role
The time when Aston villa are wealthier/more ambitious/more proactive/more attractive than arsenal is the day our club has officially resigned itself to long term mid table mediocrity. Absolutely pathetic if it’s true
Spurs is a poisoned chalice , no manager would drink it. Its only credit to Poch they have atleast managed to break into top 4 .
“””””””the day our club has officially resigned itself to long term mid table mediocrity”””””””””
Denial is the 1st stage, anger will follow closely on the transfer deadline day, by chrismas it will be depression
Im telling you for free!

Could be Arsenal is dithering maybe , waiting for Odegaard scenario also while keeping Buendia move open
Emeratesstroller When I posted I has forgotten that Elneny would likely be at AFCON too. So should Arsenal sign Bissouma as the only replacement for the players you listed for sale Arsenal would be without a true defensive midfielder and Arteta would need to rely on two more offensively minded players and Azeez , who has zero premier league experience going into next season, to fill the role. Let’s not forget that Aubameyang and Pepe will be gone too, so dropping Saka into midfield will leave the offense short. I like the idea of signing Bissouma, but if you sign… Read more »
Or it could be Buendia is in Argentina and the transfer window hasn’t officially opened yet.
Poch is a very spursy coach and not a winner. They’re welcome to him
Karsa is correct on both counts
My sources tell me Grealish is staying put for another season and Villa are making a push for Europa with the Buendia transfer.
Arsenal are not interested in a bidding war and are content to sit back and do their business methodically, after all, the season doesn’t start until Christmas anyway.
I’ve scoured the net a bit on those Buendia to Arsenal stories and it’s all over the place. Some are reporting the Aston Villa interest, others are focusing on the fact that we have made a second bid of £35 mil (from a starting bid of £30 mil (nope, we haven’t changed on the lowballing habit that we have)) and one saying that the deal is already sealed (taking a truck load of salt on that one). Safe to say, another of those slow burning stories. I just hope we don’t find a way to shoot our selves on the… Read more »

It really is about time some realised that the transfer market save the top of the market is significantly deflated. All this talk about getting £20 million for players who in effect aren’t wanted by a club that finished close to mid table is just folly.That £20 million player is probably worth at best half that as of today.

I’m sure the rookies in charge have someone better lined up. Lol
A damn set piece. in the 82nd minute. Hardly something to be embarrassed about. Say what you want. Spurs got to a cup final this season. They lost to city. The best team in the Premier League. If Artetas Arsenal got to the League Cup final then Lost. Arteta himself and his followers would take the positives from that and tell us all. Getting to a Cup final is a sign of progress.

Dodged a bullet there.
Too Latin, too temperamental, too overated.
To be fair it’s tough for Arsenal these days to compete with other clubs even a club like Aston Villa. Not really stable been on the decline for a while now and can’t really tell what our brand or style is or what the project is (is there even a project at Arsenal or targets anymore). Plus you know there’s uncertainty with the manager can’t tell if he’s average or completely shit.
Anyway…
Fucking embarrassing.
Beaten by Aston fucking villa.
Seems they have more ambition than us.
Really pissed off.
Buendia would have been great for us.
Bati/Wenger Eagle
If we don’t sign Ode or Buendia we have to look elsewhere for a cam ( I presume). Some links with Calhanoglu(spelt wrong I know). Out of contract at milan. Saw him 3 times this season, v unimpressed, you guys see more in him?
Bye, Bye Buendia it could have been great but this tells you all about the competence and draw that is at Arsenal at the present. “Villa have moved this weekend to head off rival interest from the Gunners who have held a long-term interest in the Argentine creative midfielder. They are expected to pay around £35million for the playmaker, who will undergo his medical on international duty with Argentina.

Or it could be Buendia is in Argentina and the transfer window hasn’t officially opened yet.
Looool!
The footballing geniuses at Arsenal Moe, Curly and Larry have done it again a total letdown of the fan base. How can you not tie down the Championship player of the season? Looks more like the Arsenal history does jack shit for signing players. This TW will not be exciting it will be depressing as long as there is no proper DOF, Contract executive and Manage. Let the shit show begin 😆
Batistuta
I think De Paul will end up at Atletico. They’re the best club linked to him. Both you and Wenger Eagle have championed him on here now. From the little I have seen, he’s quality.
So we bid 30m for Bwendia and we are not interested?
Let that sink in
Arsenal have been chasing Buendia for 12 months by the way
