MADRID MEDIA MACHINE REVS UP MARTIN EXIT TALKS

by .

We’re at that stage of the summer where once again, the most exciting thing to happen is an awesome kit launch video.

The new away 3rd shirt is awesome. It seems to borrow from the lightning bolt kit we dropped in 95 with Bergkamp and Wrighty. It looks purpose built for the athleisure scene but I can’t wait to see it on the pitch too. Adidas are bringing the hits this year, let’s hope we have a team ready to bring trophies to make them worth keeping around.

The transfer market is painfully slow. I don’t think we can really blame at Edu’s sunkissed feet, because outside the tone-deafness of his serial vacationing, the market is dead. Even Michael Zorc, the notoriously elite seller of talent at Dortmund, is saying he has no offers on his desk.

“You have to be realistic about the fact that clubs have no money and have to be very careful about their budgets.”

Unless you are operating in a world where you are flogging super club talent, it’s going to be a struggle. If you can accept that the players we’re trying to sell are average, you have to also be able to accept the idea that skint clubs might not want to take a chance on them… especially as a lot of the flaws are character-driven. The luxury market and the distressed one is all that exists. Clubs don’t want to sell cheap, nor do they want to buy high… or even at a normal level.

How this ends is anyone’s guess.

Roma moving on Tammy Abraham for 40m euros seems wild. The Italian club posted a 200m euro loss last year, they’ve hired Jose Mourinho on 5m a year, spent 54m euros this summer, now they are going to blow more money on a Premier League player? Seems like a risky strategy in a league that is absolutely bleeding out at the minute.

If Arsenal wants the player, I suspect we’ll have him in a red and white shirt by the end of the week. Losing out to Roma because we have a 29 year old that’s fat off mega wages on the last year of his deal really will be depressing. Our forward line is the most dangerous issue we have this season. We have two broken pieces we can’t shift. I am very, very worried about how we move forward this year if we’re immobile and broken upfront.

Another area that is looking a little desperate is our defence. We have 4 right-backs at Arsenal and none of them are right for the system. We have far too many centre backs as well. If Arsenal were going to be cute, they’d move Rob Holding out, slip Cal Chambers in, sell Hector Bellerin, loan Soares, and have Ainsley + <insert new name>.

The top Gooner journos are saying it’s an impossible thought that Rob Holding is sold, but we were also told it was a sell to buy summer. Look at the Bob Holding reality. This is a guy that has been replaced. Ben White is not here to ‘compete’, he’s here to start. Holding doesn’t have the raw elements to his game that White does, namely, speed, dribbling, and passing range. How is he going to land minutes in a season without Europe against a RCB that is very, very robust?

Holding also had his eye on a Euros call-up. Next year, we have a World Cup. He’s a long shot, but it’s a dead idea if he’s sitting on the bench this season. He was close to Newcastle last year, we know he wants to play, I don’t think it’s beyond the pale to think he might jump if given the chance.

Also worth remembering that Cal Chambers was landing big minutes before his injury against Chelsea. He’s very good on the ball and has more of the attributes you might want to slip in for Ben White if there’s an injury. Seems very odd to me that we’d have 4 extremely different centre backs at the club. If there’s an injury, we go from squeezing up the pitch, to that stale, slow ball progression.

Rumours are ramping up in Madrid that Odegaard is going to leave… and Ceballos is going to stay. I have no idea where this #10 move is going to go, but I think it’s clear, the Norwegian is still a priority and Edu is playing chicken with the window. I really, really, hope we’re not stuffed on this move. It is just wildly unacceptable that we’d go into the new season without all the right players in place. Hopefully, Odegaard would mean we could move on other targets, versus potentially blowing all our cash on one signing.

We’ll see though, plenty of work still to be done, painfully close to the opening game of the season.

If we’d pushed the baot oht for Buendia we would all be eagerly waiting for Friday now. But the imbeciles decided to show the hand we didn’t have by spunking 50 million on a center back we didn’t need. I’ll be shocked if Leicester is asking for less than 70mil.their coach even said he’s on the same level with 100 million Grealish. Arteta and Edu deserves whatever comes their way now.

Valentin I don’t see Messi going in and demanding it to be his team. Neymar will likely be on pen duties while Messi is on FKs which is a fair compromise as they are both better than the other in each case. I think that you underestimate just how much absence makes the heart grow fonder. Neymar was a prime 25 year old that wanted his own team and to be the star of the show in 2017, he is 29/30 now this season and will likely just be delighted to play with Messi once again while both will be… Read more »

On a stag do this Friday so will be watching the game somewhere with some Brentford supporting mates. Not feeling confident one bit!

If the midfield consists of Xhaka and Elneny then I might skip it altogether.

Muppetman

Wonder if Arsenal (miraculously) smash it this season and get top 4 will people start to support him or is it already too late? Seems a lot of hate here.

Tom

Serge, it wasn’t a dig at you or your recollection but rather at Weagle who’s been hanging out with Charlie too much and apparently never shies away from a pointless 10k word back and forth that always leads to nowhere.

Napoli won their first title in 1986/87
Careca joined Napoli in July of 1987, Alemao the season after.
Check transfermarkt if you don’t believe me, your recollection is wrong.

As for Maradona no winning it with Napoli in his first year…….. that’s correct, he failed to take them from 12th to 1st in one go.

Matt

Honestly any talk of top 4 with this current team is absolute pie in the sky. Anyone who thinks that can happen is seriously deluding themselves.

WengerEagle

One of these posts Tom will explain to us how Maradona won those titles all by himself, I’m sure of it.

Doesn’t actually have a counter-argument past the usual cringe-worthy sarcasm, very surprising.

WengerEagle

Avid weekly Serie A fan in the 80s that he no doubt was in middle America.

Fair enough, it’s out of line to chew the fat about football here in fairness. I’ll have to look for a blog or something instead, an Arsenal one would make most sense.

Channel 4 never even showed Italian footie u til the early 90s so it is down to memory only

Valentin

Eagle, I have no doubt that Neymar is happy to see Messi. As you rightly pointed out, the the PSG team is imbalanced. Where I disagree in that you believe that it does not have enough creators, I believe that it has too many creators, artists and not enough decent hard workers. You can’t have 4 attacking players with only 2 putting a proper defensive shift. That works in Ligue 1, because teams are so worried of getting spanked and so defend in numbers and barely attack. In the Champion’s League teams will attack and PSG defensive fragility will be… Read more »

Can’t believe the Willock love-in going on!

If we came out and said he was going to stay and be our new CAM instead of buying one, imagine the backlash that would come the clubs way.

Unbelievable

Adetunji

It’s really funny how nobody wants any of the players Arsenal wants to sell. Recruitment has been terrible for many years and the club has players with character flaws. Won’t be surprised if they are eventually sold at giveaway prices or even have their contracts cancelled.

Adetunji

Demetrios

Joe Willock bagged as many Premier League goals last season as Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Willian combined. Give the young man a break please

Kegunner

Willock is actually a striker playing midfield. He is Henry reborn. Just needs a manager to see through him and polish him.

Negative Nigel

Watch the shit hit the fan if we don’t beat Brentford.With no business done before then there will be hellfire.You know it & I know it.Why oh why are A & E making life difficult for themselves.? Answers on a postcard.

Tom

Mr Serge, Polish TV started showing Serie A matches in the early 80s after Juve bought Boniek, Poland’s best player, in the aftermath of the 1982 WC.
SerieA was a hub for worlds best players then but they all went to Italy’s big northern clubs.
Maradona going to Napoli was a complete shock move nobody expected.
Napoli had no history of success whatsoever and at that time had no world class players.
Maradona transfer put them on the map and only after that top players like Careca and Alemao started considering going there.

”””’Joe Willock bagged as many Premier League goals last season as Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Willian combined. Give the young man a break please””’

Well said

And he only played about 5 full games!

Crabregas

Matt Ryan has confirmed he enquired about re-signing for us this season but the club want to go for a homegrown player. As there have not been any other links to other British keepers, it looks like Ramsdale or a mad dash around deadline day for anything we can get hold of.

It’s a shame as Matt Ryan would have been a decent backup.

Crabregas

Pedro getting called a lookalike for Gareth Keenan on the podcast is class. The story of his old company thinking the same and putting Pedro’s stapler in jelly made me crease up.

“This is starting to look more and more like a Wenger summer, bar the ben white deal”

Maybe we should hope for a Wenger summer, his worst finish, 6th, is now Arsenal’s goal.

He was also quite good at making sure the paperwork was taken care of to complete deals on the last day of the window, a task Edu and Arteta have yet to master. Like it our not, , this window will probably be judged by deals completed on deadline day

TR7

Matt Ryan looked really good to me. If it is true that he wanted to stay at Arsenal then we should have kept him. Would be typical Arsenal to blow the Willock money on Ramsdale.

Adetunji

I’m shocked Arsenal wants to spend millions on Ramsdale. Why not Nick Pope instead if they are desperate for homegrown??

Moreover, this homegrown idea is funny. A club with financial challenges should just go for smart deals or the best available young talents

WengerEagle

“Remember back in the day there was not cable or sky sports it was all VHS tapes and magazines and a bit of highlights on the Sunday”

How can that be the case when Tom watched Napoli play every week in the 80s on his weekends off from school?

TR7

Bayern Munich have decided to try & sell Corentin Tolisso ‘as quickly as possible’ & are willing to accept a bid as low as €10m. Juventus, Manchester United, Arsenal & West Ham are all interested in the midfielder. [L’Equipe via @GFFN]

WengerEagle

TR7

Tolisso hasn’t returned the same player from his ACL injury, hard pass on that one.

Screams of overpaid deadwood down the line as he will want massive wages.

TR7

WE

Agreed, he has a terrible injury record. Not one exciting transfer rumor this summer except Maddison and even that one looks difficult to pull off.

Crabregas

It was in the Mirror but had quotes from Ryan.

It would have been a simple signing for a season and allowed us to focus on other, more important areas of the starting lineup. Plus allowed us to save the 30mil for Ramsdale.

Even if Ramsdale stayed at Shef Utd and had a great season, his value wouldn’t be greater than the 25-30mil we are being quoted now.

Crabregas

I never found Tolisso that exciting before he went to Bayern, or even when watching him for France.

He is however the right age profile (27 last week) if we were to sign experienced players although I prefer a couple of years younger

David.D

It just totally fucking winds me up. The sheer ineptitude of Arteta/Edu. 2 days till kick off and still not signed a keeper , still not signed a creative player but happily spunked 50 million on Ben White who i have no problem with yet have a 30 million defender just begging for a proper chance sent on loan again. How have we got to 2 days before season starts with no the 2 positions not filled. Another midfielder is needed but not as essentially as those 2 positions. As someone mentioned why not push the boat out on Buendia… Read more »

The thing is, although I am happy with selling Willock for 20+mil and some people have said that if Willock was that good why are only Newcastle in for him. Yet the club think that it makes sense for Ramsdale yet I have not seen one publication link another club to him in the slightest. Worrying times

WengerEagle

Well summed up David D, let’s see how long that post survives is the only thing. 🤣 TR7 I was never a big fan of Tolisso but he was clearly a good player before the ACL. That’s still imo the worst common career injury that a player can suffer barring something catastrophic like a fractured skull in Jimenez’s case. Players have returned to play at a similar level after broken legs even, look at Aaron Ramsey, Cisse, Luke Shaw, Henrik Larsson, Seamus Coleman, Andy Cole. I cannot remember many players off the top of my head that looked close to… Read more »

If you think that a clueless apprentice who gets his ideas across by telling his players who to pass to from the sidelines is going to finish ahead of City, Utd, Chelsea and Pool. I have some oilfields in Snowdonia to sell you. Only of them could possibly tank in 1 season and Leicester and West Ham or even Leeds are better placed to pounce.

Kroenke should fly Zizou to his ranch and promise him a lifetime supply of Steers steak to take up this floundering ship of ours. Arteta is simply wasting everybody’s time

Champagne Charlie

Fat no to Tolisso, big wages, big crock. We’ve been there and done that. 32 Bundesliga starts in 4 years.

Much rather we go to Rangers for Glen Kamara if you want someone capable of filling in and offering much more than Elneny. HG too if I’m not mistaken.

This transfer window will set the club back 5 years. Fucking Ramsdale?

Our young players are better options than our veterans right now. Willock ahead of xhaka. Amn ahead of elneny or bellerin. Nketiah ahead of auba. Martinelli ahead of whoever arteta wants to play on the left. As things stand we are desperate for a manager who has enough gumption to play the kids, not one who is terrified of discovering talent from the academy. Arteta thinks we are man city and can buy him a team, thinks his veteran players were actually world class at one point in their careers, and thinks that none of the young players are ready.… Read more »

Arteta will crumble if fans in the stadium turn on him. After losing to Villareal, his inability to handle criticism was evident as he excused the loss with the injury to Xhaka who plays left back anyway.

Advanced talks for Ramsdale apparently, 24m rising to 30m mentioned.

Just wow.

KAY Boss

I have no issues with our supposed veterans. Conte won the scudetto with virtually an aged team. The problem is not the players but the coach. The promotion to manger might have done his head.
Arterta ain’t the one to handle this club. I find it humorous when we blame our strikers for not scoring enough by refusing to notice that they spend almost a huge % on defensive duties. Auba and Laca can perform this season provide they ain’t micromanaged on the field of play.

Chris

I really can’t get behind this signing, sorry. This really shakes my faith in Arteta and Edu. Can only hope there is more in the war chest to address what we seriously need to get. A creative mid, a right back, all more worthy of funds of this size to a back up keeper.

WengerEagle

So we pass on getting rid of Xhaka and him off the wagebill and making a bit of a statement in leaving the old stale deadwood ridden Arsenal largely for the sake of 5m odd and in the very next move, opt to fork out 24m up front for a backup GK.

This club man, christ.

Useroz

awesome shirts put on dross, ordinary players => crap however you look at it, literally

Marko

Turning out to be a really shocking summer in all honesty. In terms of improvement to the squad after finishing 8th + how much money we’re spending this summer it’s really been abysmal. Only upside to it all will it’ll lead to the likely downfall of you know who and yet another hard reset at the club.

Elmo

The only good feeling I get from the Rumsdale deal is that surely a club spending £24m + £6m add-ons for a back-up keeper must be intending to spend huge amounts before the window is out on a CAM. If they were just doing £74m + £11m add-ons on a CB and GK2, and totally ignoring the most pressing weaknesses we entered the summer with, it would be pure trolling. EdGAr want to hang onto their jobs, so with all existing goodwill with the fans long spent, I can’t imagine they’d go all-in on a troll window, so I hope… Read more »

For up to £30m? I’m disgusted and deeply embarrassed by this deal. There is NOTHING to suggest he’s even worth half of that fee. No metric whatsoever. And for the record, he is not Englands NO 3, as it was injuries to others that placed him 3rd choice.

We still mock Wenger for Kallstrom even though it was a 6 month loan deal that we didn’t pay wages for until the player was fit to play but Wenger wasn’t daft enough to sign a 32 year old to a 4 year deal at 200k/yearly.

Hard to fathom how 24 mil on a backup GK is sensible with CM, CAM, RB, CF untouched. Don’t mind the player profile at all, think there’s a lot of shite talked about him in reality.

Think it is crystal clear by now how this summer is shaping up especially with the nouse coming out of the club via Ornstein about being priced out of a Maddison move.

Just as we all called it early in the summer basically. Ramsdale and Odegaard on another loan the sum of it.

That is why we took issue with shelling out 50m for White.

Jesus Ramsdale for 30 mil is being reported by Chris Wheatley.

I hope he has many more gears to his game than what I have seen so far. Because he doesn’t scream top quality so far. And once again Arteta is choosing to do the most expensive player on the cards when we have terrible options in midfield and RB positions.
