Here we are people, welcome to Friday. It’s been a fun week.
There’s not a lot of news doing the rounds. David Ornstein set tongues wagging when he suggested Arsenal might not have the funds to finance a Maddison deal. Honestly, that sounds about right… Arsenal dropping £70m on a creative midfielder felt a little bit wild to me. If we went to £35-40m for Buendia, that seems closer to the number you would expect. That said, odd that there are so many strong stories that the player wants Arsenal. Surely Edu wouldn’t harass a player without knowing the costs?
There’s a lot of general angst in system about how we’re spending money we haven’t spent.
I don’t think Arsenal will pay £32m for a backup keeper if Bernd Leno stays this summer, that would be a wild amount of cash to send to a club that has just been relegated… who cares what they paid for him in the first place. There can’t be a recession in football with the only club not benefitting from it being Arsenal.
There are still plenty of bargains to be had around Europe, Houssem Auoar scored a cracking volley for Lyon last night, and we know they are looking to move on talent to raise funds.
Quite incredible how slow transfer business everywhere seems to be dragging.
Granit Xhaka still hasn’t moved. This Roma negotiation is painfully boring considering the hype started before the Euros. I can’t blame Edu for standing firm on a decent fee. The Swiss was in the team of the tournament and he’s only 28 years old. He’s literally at the peak of his powers and we can only squeeze £20m for him.
Ralph Hassenhutl made a point that seems to be very on point.
“At the moment, in the transfer market, it’s always the same,”
“Everybody wants players; nobody has money.
“Everybody wants to have the most money for his players when he wants to sell it and that keeps everything on hold.
“Therefore, a lot of players are running down their contracts and finally leaving for free. This money is what smaller clubs are missing then.
If Stan K hadn’t tried his luck at the super league, we’d be in the same boat this summer, because there’s no way we’d be raising enough capital to splash properly
The interesting thing is that no one is accepting the deflationary realities of the game for almost everyone. If all clubs just operated at a lower level, things would move, but it seems like no one wants to blink first just in case other clubs are hoarding pots of gold.
Arteta has been talking about what he wants from players at Arsenal and I like it.
“Absolutely there is another character in this dressing room that transmits every value that I would like to transmit to the club and our fans [and it is Kieran],”
“Again, it is young, hungry, talented, and people with huge desire and again he has all four ingredients – and he didn’t want to talk about anything other than staying here.
“That character, I think it shows on the pitch – when anything happens that is not going for us, you don’t give up, you just raise your level, try to be better and transmit that to the rest of the team so they all believe.
“Kieran has this capacity, and Emile as well, to lift the crowd with an action, Gabi Martinelli has this capacity – and this is something you either have or you don’t have.”
The vision is coming out piecemeal, but this is something I think most of us wanted to hear heading into the new season.
- Clarification on what sort of players Arteta wants to take us to the next level.
- Confirmation that there’s a type of player he loves.
- Some certainty that young/hungry players are the future of the club.
Well, it’s all there. We’ll see more Gabi next season, ESR won’t be a bit part player replaced by a clogger, and KT is probably in the running to be our next captain at some point.
There’s still plenty to do this summer, but tying down the future is an achievement, and signing players at a lower age profile is exactly where we want to see things head.
Right, see you in the comments. Watch the additional content below. Have a GREAT Friday night.

We dropped another podcast that we recorded for the video creeeeew. Enjoy. Find my co-host @iJohnnyCochrane.

DM slacking today out in these streets.
Going to secure…
4th place, let’s hope Arsenal can do the same.
The vision is coming out piecemeal,
Took just 18 months to get….
By 2040, we might finally get the full package.
I should be 4th, because I read the post
Pedro why isn’t var used on this blog?
Like I’ve said many many times in this blog, if we have 70M for Maddison, we should be giving that 70M to Aston Villa for Grealish along with Reiss, AMN and Eddie.
Well we better see more of Martinelli this season Pedro is all I can say.
It has taken Tets a long time to appreciate his potential, he preferred Eddie Nketiah for far too long.
Grealish and ESR on either side of Partey with Saka and Pepe either side of Aubameyang against bottom 10 team will get us closer to 4th.
Its one of the reasons why I think the Ben White spending wasn’t smart.
I read the post first…that’s what honesty does for you
Well we better see more of Martinelli this season Pedro is all I can say.
Don’t get your hopes up WE.
I predict we’ll see the return of Aubameyang to the left this season.
Holding, Chambers, Gabriel, Mari are good enough for this season.
Rather than spending 50M on Ben White, we should have spent 25M on a right back like Tierney, then add the remaining 25M to the 70M for Maddison and get Grealish.
At home and against bottom 10 teams away, I’ll play this
New RB —– Holding —- Gabriel —– Tierney
ESR ————– Partey ———– Grealish
Saka ———- Aubameyang ———- Pepe.
That team will score lots of goals and concede less because teams would be scared to attack.
Arteta crapping (dropping?) on about character….. The most banal, dull, pseudo-smooth, phoney, on-message, cautious and corporate sycophants manager we’ve possibly ever had (at least since Billy Wright) is talking about character!
Arteta – time to show some yourself mate! You and that other coiffed mannequin Edu.
Azed
Love to see your team play for us…not an expert but I’d probably have Mbape as a ‘rush goalkeeper’, failing that Martinez 🙂
If a CL team wants Grealish he won’t be coming to us no matter how much we offer.

4th place is delusional, with the money spent by City Manure, Pool and Chavs how in the world will the AFC squad better them? Either they have an open line to bribing the Refs and Var operators OR AFC has an open wish with a football genie to grant them top 4, otherwise not going to happen this season with a newly minted squad by end of September the talk on le-grove will have shifted to the 2022/2023 season.
Sheba
Chambers is under-rated
That looks quite a strong right side, especially as White is able to cover at RB
Have better ingredients for three at the back with this squad if needed
[more likely Laca instead of Abraham]
AFC is NOT buying a backup GK they are buying a GK. Leno will leave, that is a given, and after this season he has 1 year left so they are buying a replacement for Leno. What a fuck up having to spend big on a CAM and now also on a GK, welcome to the newbs at Arsenal Management.
MD, you are the ‘WILL SOMEONE THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN’ character in The Simpsons. You have no clue what will happen, but you go to the worst possible outcome every time.
Arteta ““Kieran has this capacity, and Emile as well, to lift the crowd with an action, Gabi Martinelli has this capacity – and this is something you either have or you don’t have.” If I was one of these 3 I would be slightly concerned.. Praise from Arteta means nothing , ask Ozil, AMN, Martinez, Nketiah and saliba.. Arteta on Nketiah “‘He has an immense personality to play, confidence, he’s powerful and is developing in every area I think. I have a lot of faith in him.” Arteta on Ozil”his attitude in training since the day that I walked in… Read more »
Kroenkephobe , You sound like a man could do with a few drinks and taking your mind off our current ‘leadership ‘. I can’t help you with the former but I trust you can sort that out yourself. As for the latter, I’ve been thinking of the greatest saves( in my lifetime). Bloody difficult I can tell you,narrowing it down to 5 meant dozens of incredible saves had to be excluded. But for what it’s worth here’s my final 5,in no particular order. What do you think mate? Who would you add/ exclude? I’m sure I’ve forgotten some crackers along… Read more »
It never ceases to amaze me how some people on here can turn anything into a negative.
Hilarious.
Pierre, reckon the players who landed praise and long-term deals can breath easy.
Charlie“, if you can’t recognise how teenagers withhold a teams potential because they’ve yet to reach theirs then there’s nothing more to say… ”Poppycock! Did Cesc hold back arsenal? You can’t just use age as the deciding factor. Because someone hasn’t reached their personal potential, this doesn’t mean that they can’t have had a positive impact to the team!

No Mark, the stats show he has excellent passing, hence why he’s being bought for such a high price.
Do I need to point you in the direction of some videos again?
Mark
“Do you really still think ESR and Saka negatively affected our season, as they haven’t reached their full potential?? Just need to know this 🤔”
Yes he does, and he also thinks Saka needs to improve his final ball…
@Pedro “Ben White’s pass completion gets a hammering with his longer passing as well. Is it because he’s bad at it, or he’s passing to small players? ”It’s statements like the above that totally shows your hand . The stats say his passing isn’t that great, and you ask are the players short ??? Why the mental gymnastics? Do you wonder about other players who have good stats if they must be passing to taller team mates? 😂 This is what people push back on the suspension of reality and a desperate attempt to rationalize data that doesn’t suit the… Read more »
Pierre,
The 2nd save alone was incredible, unbelievable reflexes in fairness. But when you sit down to pick your top 5 the amount of sensational saves you have to omit is insane. But that one is close, I’ll give you that for sure.
Almunia
Fair few to choose off of this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny2S4YURXBA
1:14 is an absurdly good save, the pace and direction of that bullet header going straight into the top scorer and to get a strong enough hand to turn it around the post. Not sure who the GK is but it looks like Joe Hart maybe?
The GK header off the crossbar and reflex save combo too is stunning, think it happened in South America.
And my own bias kicking in here but Seaman’s save vs Sheff Utd was breathtaking. 40 years old making that save…
This Buffon save vs Zidane in the World Cup Final in ET has to be up there too, for the importance along with save itself. That was an absolute rocket header and would have gone through any other GK.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC0RNx9ZVxc
Whatever happens, after the spend this summer, I expect Arteta has 6 months to make it look like it MIGHT work! If we’re languishing in 9th or 10th come November/December, only one thing can happen surely?
The other thing that has hardly been mentioned is that it matters not if Ek comes back in with a 2.2billion bid, this is the Kroenkes saying they are committed!
We are definitely rolling out with the misfits for the Brentford game. It’s in like 20 days time or so.
Almunia Hiya mate. Some drinks would be in the cards were it not for the fact that my kids are all out with mates across West Wales and dad’s taxi is needed for them and their friends in a hour or so. Don’t know about you but I always used shanks’s pony or a Raleigh Commando to get around. The youth of today…. 5 greatest saves? That’s properly tough. I’m going to get my thinking cap on. I’ve got a different Seaman-esque offering which I’m going to offer later but I need some more inspiration. You’ve picked some corkers as… Read more »

I find Arteta’s ‘comms’ difficult to understand because I’m always hoping for plain, honest language. But I don’t think that’s the worst of his problems. It’s much more to do with flaws in his thinking and an innate stubbornness and tendency to be over cautious. He speaks really good English but he sounds like he could be David Brent’s boss at wernham and hogg. You’ve surely been around some serious corporate bullshit terms in your career right?
Wenger Eagle
That’s some montage of saves, Christ almighty. I think you’re right,it was Joe Hart. The one where the keeper heads it onto the bar and then recovers to make the 2nd save is incredible. I’m not as impressed with the Buffon save, pretty routine for a class keeper, though he did a nice job for the cameras!
You ungrateful toads…
Here’s a clip from the Olympic opening ceremony to lighten your mood-you misery swipes..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XFz0Ajf90A
@Pedro
“I don’t think Arsenal will pay £32m for a backup keeper if Bernd Leno stays this summer, ”
That doesn’t sound very convincing. Like a part of you knows it’s the kinda stupidness Arteta would do. It’s not like you’re saying ” There’s no way we getting our trousers pulled down again and pay £32m for Grim-sdale!”
So if Leno does go this summer then £32m is alright for him then, yeah Pete?
JHC, , there aren’t still folk on here who have faith in a manager who got rid of one of the best keepers in Europe, only to approve the signing of an Icelandic Fisherman and than, amazingly, show an interest in Ramsdale.
What a frigging mess.
Oh the joys.
Cheers.
Not really an Olympics dude myself PHD.
Keep an eye out for the odd track events like the Men’s 100m/200m and 5k/10k and a bit of the Swimming and Gymnastics but other than that I only really tune in for the sports I’m interested in so will check out pieces of the Football, Tennis, Boxing and Basketball.
Lot of hype around this Dressel chap in the swimming, been beating Phelp’s records in preparation for this Olympics. You seen much of him? Heavy favourite to win Gold.
Here we go once again about Arteta’s vision. The same vision that clearly saw the hunger in Willian, Mustaphi and Runarsson.
Figuratively speaking, it’s a cockeyed Arteta with a blindfolded Edu next to him.
It’s a pity the blind ones at Arsenal hired Arteta to learn to be a manager on the fly.
Six months I say, with Arsenal stewing in the usual mediocrity under our visionary manager, before the trigger is pulled.
If you’re bored somewhat.The closing ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympics might lighten the mood..You miserable swipes.

Almunia
Yeah maybe I was romanticising the Buffon save a bit because of my love for Buffon and Zidane but I do think that it’s an above average save given the pace of the ball, was very similar to Henry’s header winner vs Man United that went straight through the great Van Der Sar.
And it was close to being a World Cup winning save, bought them penalties.
PhD: We’re grateful to Pedro for writing this blog and for his perspective on Arsenal Football Club. Not sure why you’re expecting gratitude for posting YT clip of the Olympics…
How, you doing Graham, good to hear you again. Hope you and yours have all been well. Not sure, but I think I read you said you’d taken a bit of a hiatus from arsenal or the blog ( can’t remember which ) was that right? It’s so gutting knowing that Emi should still be here, Buendia would be here too. I think Buendia is going to have a lot of AFC fans angry that we didn’t push the boat out for him, and then overpaid for white. Even with no Europe players would still come cos we pay well… Read more »

Bielsa’s English language is terrible.
Ergo, he is a shite manager.
Pedro, you should listen to how you you sound these days sometimes.
Martin Luther King has become fucking Donald Trump.

I have a miserable three (I’d only cheat to sound more itk by googling greatest saves but unlike Arteta I have some personal integrity😜). 1.

When you have to quote teenage Cesc Fabregas it makes the point for me. Obviously there’s exceptions, but anyone that’s watched football for 5 mins knows that players aren’t the compete ticket in their teens – they’re not expected to be either.
Fabregas moved Vieira on at 16, Saliba had loan moves to Newcastle and Marseille. They are not equal. You play young players and you ride the inexperience out as they develop. It’s basic.

Kroenkephobe, Just checked out that Shilton save, it was from Dalglish. Breathtaking. Great choice. I wouldn’t worry about the recollection, as a wise and very drunk man said to me, I can’t even remember what it is I’ve forgotten. I think the natural erasing of the aul hard drive is one of the benefits of getting older, we carry too much crap around in there anyway. Hold off with the despair on the TW, we’ve waited long enough, another couple of months will see all our questions answered one way or another. Both work for me, they get the window… Read more »
A bit random but it’s stange how Pepe can go from struggling to control a simple ball to being the 2nd coming of Messi with his dribbling skills and superb finishes.. I think it is all about which area of the pitch he’s in as to how he reacts when he receives the ball. It has been mentioned by myself and a few on here that it is important to get Pepe on the ball as much as possible 9n areas where he can do the most damage… Of course, Pepe isn’t fit to tie Messi’s bootlaces , but it… Read more »
Bernardo Silva as a Xhaka replacement?
He’s the very definition of a press resistant technician, would be our most accomplished central midfielder since Cazorla
Pierre
Completely agree on Pepe, he’s the best finisher at the club
We need to find a way to get the ball into him as early as possible in the final third of the pitch
He’s not really my style of player, my preference would be a technician rather than an impact player
But since goals are a problem, and we’re probably stuck with him, we have to try and extract maximum value out of him
I can see Pepe posting some really good end product numbers this season
Bernardo Silva IS amazing. Would be a fantastic addition. The only issue is a lot of lefties then – Saka, Pepe, and him. And he’s just as one-footed as Pepe. But he’s not defensive AT ALL. So never in a million years a Xhaka replacement. He could alternate with the trio I mentioned earlier. You have those 4 for the 3 positions right behind the striker, you’re made. Also, agree with Pierre. Pepe is excellent if he 1. plays regularly, 2. plays as a right wing forward instead of a right wing midfielder hugging the touchline. Actually think a 4-4-2… Read more »
Whoa ! Uber woke Pedro mocking Emery’s poor English ? I guess that makes the great Bielsa the worst manager in the league.
Pepe might be played as a striker this season. Read somewhere he is practising playing as a sole striker in training.
Kris Cazorla wasn’t a defensive player either, but the best football we’ve played since the 2010/11 season, was in the first half of the 2015/16 and 2016/17 season, before Cazorla got injured Had Cazorla stayed fit in 2015/16, I think we’d have won the title I’d have no issue with Silva sitting next to Partey in our midfield, he played 18 times there for the Champions last season His versatility is a big asset, but having a deep lying midfielder who can take the ball in tight areas and beat the press, and also dictate the whole tempo of the… Read more »

Pedro, no offense man … not saying you are this way with others but with Emery its always something you bring up. Who cares about good ebening… he finished better than Arteta. At least say he has bad teeth… he has dracula teeth. That is a non xenophobic insult. That one counts
I think it’s a weird timezone… all we’ve been hearing in America is how many people are getting covid.

Guns, the infantilizing of Emery is offensive. He’s a near 50-year-old man. He failed twice because he took jobs when he couldn’t speak the language (russia/france). He leaned into his contacts to jump the queue at Arsenal, took a big paycheque, failed because the players didn’t understand his ideas… so language is absolutely fair game. When the way you say a single word is a global meme… you should address it. ‘He gave it a good go’ is not acceptable. Pretending it didn’t matter is skirting the truth. Language is a choice, especially when you are a millionaire many times… Read more »
Guns: That one counts — hahah, made me laugh
I did talk about Emery’s use of gilets… I was on the fence I believe. I would never wear a gilet, but I can see why some might.
A gilet and the teeth. He’s like that teacher you had in school that always came by and leaned over to see your work and had massive coffee breath. I always wondered why teachers breathe smelled the same way
of course until I became a coffee drinker.
SMH
Guns, no excuse not to have gum on you at all times.
Guns – he (emery) finished better than Arteta – which bit are you talking about? The bit where we were annihilated and humiiated in the Europa Cup Final v Chelsea or the very end when every Prem match was an unbearable embarrassment and we were sinking lower and lower? If that has continued we’d have been relegated
Emery to me is the bad past – there were some good bits esp his willingness to blood young players but mostly best forgotten.

Northbanker, we will always have that Fulham game.
Emery did what Wenger could not.
Took on Ozil, subbed off our core starters- ex. Ramsey, etc with no issue at all. He did go on the non losing game streak too and was close to a top 4. So glass half full or empty?
I agree his tenure became unsustainable when the team started to tune him out, the xhaka thing with the fans, etc…
Not as bad as some make him to be…
Who knocked us out of EL last season? Albeit with a worse team than us?
I am pretty sure Mike wore a gilet Pedro.. last season.
I do see him chewing gum so he got that part down
Northbanker: Totally agree — it was the worst Arsenal I’ve ever seen and there’s been some ropey Arsenal teams pre-Wengee
Arteta fashion is not for me. Athleisure not my thing at all
Agree that Ramsdale is not being bought as backup, his shot stopping and short passing improved as the season went on. arteta must be confident he makes better decisions when playing out from the back than Bernd did last year when unforgivable individual errors killed us, and I believe, another half season of that and Arteta will be gone. He’s doing it at CB, he’s now doing it at GK as well.
