WEDNESDAY ROUND-UP

by .

Arsenal just lost a preseason friendly to Brentford.

The starting 11 had a bit of the ‘who is going on loans’ about it. I’m not really sure why they had the friendly when I’m looking at this group of players, but I guess building minutes into the legs isn’t a bad thing. You never know when you’ll need the second string of players.

I don’t like that Eddie is in this group, but then you realise we only have two strikers,  with Folarin Balogun heading out on loan somewhere.

Are we making a mistake heading into the season with two recognised strikers? One of them gets an injury and you don’t have an option off the bench. That could be an issue, especially if we lose someone during crunch time. My guess is maybe Marti comes in as a #9? But who knows.

The exit rumour mill is heating up. We’ve agreed an £8m fee for Bernd Leno. My oh my are Fulham getting a good deal there. Still, he was a good chap last season, he didn’t sulk, and you have to let older players get the minutes for World Cups. Just a shame that fee is terrible.

I believe Lucas Torreira is going to exit Arsenal for a transfer fee of roughly nothing. It’s quite sad how a hype player from back in the day has absolutely tanked his career through no fault of his own to get a transfer fee of zero. The hope is that we put a 50% sell-on clause in the deal so he doesn’t get flipped for mega money and we look like chumps.

The Mikel Arteta resume builder kicked up another gear. The video above was shot after we had a shocking start to last season. What you see there is the special sauce that you’ve not witnessed before. His ability to inspire, open up about pain, and absorb criticism for his staff. He’s a good leader, he has flaws, but it’s hard to watch that sort of thing and not feel something.

No doubt when the series airs, he’ll be verbally abusing a kitchen staffer for not buttering his toast to the corners, but we’ll wait and see. Jokes aside, you’re likely to see the inspirational parts of his persona… and maybe the bits that make him look like a ruthless bully. Weirdly, if hammering players is in the name of standards, the reaction will likely be very positive from fans. Everyone loves someone with next-level standards because secretly, we all want to be that weird about high standards in our own lives… and we’re not.

In the weirdest transfer of the window, Kasper Schmichael quit Leicester for Nice. Very lovely. That leaves Leicester without a keeper. There’s also talk Chelsea are hustling them for Fofana after losing out on Kounde. Maddison is also attracting interest from Spurs. They haven’t spent much money. I think they’d rather fund a spending spree from the player with one year left on his deal. Will Arsenal move on Tielemans? Why has it taken so long?

Mad Jens Lehmann did a madness on his neighbour.

Quite something, but one this is for sure, you couldn’t say ‘unexpected.’

Right, not much else going on today. If you want some podcast juice, jump in below. If not, I’ll see you tomorrow.

I saw the video. Not easy viewing with all her scrolling up and down. She clearly holds this guy in high regards prior to the accusation. Named him Lion and called his mind, a lion’s mind. How did he go from a Lion to a rapist ?

Anyway going on Twitter to drop his name doesn’t help her case now. If she had one in the first place.

Habesha Gooner

Sorry Pedro. I will stop discussing it.

Habesha Gooner

The fact that society hasn’t learned to be patient before labeling someone a rapist from the Johnny Depp case enrages me though.

Back to Football.

Dream10

There will lots of pressure on Ramsdale. He had a below average performances in the second half of the season. With a very capable #1 in Leno departing, the spotlight will solely be focused on him. The Turner fella does not look convincing at all

Habesha Gooner

Did Schmeichel really quit Leicester to go to Nice? Is there legs to the Leno plus cash for Tielemans rumors? Surely Leicester will need a new number 1. And Leno isn’t the worst replacement, even if we don’t go for Tielemans. Fulham and Leicester competing might get us a bigger fee.

Dream10

Habesha

Yeah looks like Schmeichel is off to Nice.

Reckon the Leno to Fulham deal is very far along. There were rumors of them being interested in April

I’m expecting the Tielemans deal to happen in the last week of the window. Both clubs are posturing. Arsenal have personal terms sorted, so they are trying to pay the minimum required. Also, this club loves a PR win. Fans will eat up a last minute signing. A club trademark

Zacharse

habesha the only thing we learned from the johnny depp case is that celebrities of his and her caliber are utterly pathetic and disgusting, not a rape case- though i don’t doubt that charge was peppered into that shitshow

Zacharse

schmeichel to nice feels very odd, but i suppose its a lovely place to live

Habesha Gooner

Dream Very surprising from Schmeichel. Must have wanted a change. Yeah Leno to Fulham has legs but I can see Leicester being interested in Leno. It is 10 mil and they can afford that. I think we are waiting to sell players before going in for Tielemans. If Torreira and AMN go with in the next few weeks, we will get him. Or may be another like Paqueta despite Edu denying we are in for him. Zacharse It was actually a false accusation of a Domestic Violence case. And then she also added that he raped her despite her being… Read more »

Bob, that’s what I hear.. that Bellerin turned down (?Villarreal possibly?- note sure ).. and only wants Betis.. that last part is more important. Any other team thinking about approaching, will have been warned off by his agent, to get Betis the best deal, possibly free, to put that savings into his wages. We will know for sure if he ends up at Betis, it will be no coincidence.. you will have your answer eventually. Of every single club in Europe, (including clubs with much more money to spend) he ends up where he wanted to go. How can a… Read more »

Trial and evidence by tweets is disgusting. People should mind their own business and let the law run its course. The club should also mind their business, because they are not qualified to judge any victim or accused. They just happen to employ one of them. Football clubs are not arbiters of guilt or innocence, and shouldn’t try to exert any influence where they have no right of jurisdiction. No more real know,edge than you or I.

Something funny is happening at Leicester
‘Is it possible the owners children aren’t as committed to football last their father because come to think of it, football is a money losing business
They lived off selling one player for big. only to fund their transfer business and now that there’s no one to sell, they are in a rut.
Brendon seems to have run his course

Venga, Dani

Barcelona’s squad is looking ridiculous:

How are they going to fit Fati, Raphinha, Memphis, Dembele, ferran torres, Aubameyang, and Lewendowski into a front 3?

China1

It’s only bellerin, not Ozil/Auba. He’s expensive but hardly a financial noose around our necks.

Bellerin must be made an example of and told in no uncertain terms that he will not be registered to play on the first team and will see out his contract if he tries to force us to give him away.

There’s absolutely zero pressure on arsenal to bend over for bellerin or betis. We have to send a message that being taken for a fool when selling players is stopping right now

China1

If we let bellerin leave for free for absolutely no reason then what message does it send to every other player who wants to leave in the coming years?

Dig in and your contract means nothing. You can leave for free. Other clubs will be refusing to offer anything for any of our players if they smell that this is going to be the new normal.

Fuck bellerin. Train with the kids.

Habesha Gooner

Venga Memphis is leaving. I suspect Lewa will start over Aubameyang. Raphinha also might have the edge over Dembele on the right because he stays fit through out the season and it is a fight between Ferran Torres and Fati on the left. They will compete for Laliga and CL. They have gambled on going far in all competitions. If they go far and get huge CL money then the debt will clear out a lot faster. Xavi can coach. And now he has a very good attack. An okay defense with Christensen, Kounde, Pique, Araujo, Eric Garcia, Alba and… Read more »

Torreira ws looking better than Kante in 2018 WC. He came with that drawback of being short. Ppl who got him to Arsenal then must have been convinced his height will not come in the way (pun unintended) of him being effective in MF. He was a success. But then Can’t believe how Elneny can play better than Torreira for EL.

Zacharse

How exactly did barcelona resolve the problem of registering players? My understanding was they had to shed wages and sell before they could register la liga players

Terry Neill RIP

Markymark

Back to Arteta’s speech – I actually admired it. So easy to say be the best or shout and scream. He’s gone for belief systems whilst doing a controlled expose of his feelings .
Meanwhile for any budding
David Brent’s across the UK ( including me ) will be adapting this to their various situations, flogging shoes , life assurance policies in fact anywhere where performance is slacking and sales targets are not being met!

Dark Hei

Koscielny had an informal agreement at least. Not formal but nevertheless still a word. He was also a loyal servant and played his part in his last season.

Bellerin had no agreement whatsoever when he went out on loan.

Kos was also far older, he had barely any resale value left.

Don’t think you can put them side by side. For me, as much as I like Bellerin, I think we need to play hard ball with him. Betis needs to match Villarreal’s fee. If Bellerin insist on going there, he can buy out his own contract.

Saw that Arteta speech. Don’t see anything wrong with it myself

I’m hardly an Arteta fan boy by any stretch of the imagination but I don’t see anything about that speech which was bad

China1

Zach area for money they sold off rights to future TV money (a huge gamble that I dearly hope will backfire horribly)

For the registering players parts, it’s Barca. They do what they want

China1

I hate real but I’d much rather than win the league than Barca. Fuck Barca, really. Hate that club

China1

How brilliant would it be after they gambled away future tv rights to blow on more expensive signings if they have another bad season?

Mysticleaves

China

I don’t see anything in the speech also that was jerking off material. Pretty standard leadership pitch.

Barca don’t also do what they want. They follow the rules of la Liga in registration players and ensuring they met salary cap. They haven’t defaulted for once. They have had to wait to shift players or have more money before registering new players

Mysticleaves

I don’t know why you “hate” Barca but they have bought good/very good/excellent players (wrt their league and team) and they will surely reach their objectives. They could most definitely win the league this season. They have done wonderful business as it is

Mysticleaves

Not condoning rape or assault but people need to shine a very bright light on UK and US women. Also, rape laws especially between married or romantically involved couples need to be reviewed or interpreted better. This shit is really getting ridiculous and only ever happens in UK and US.

China1

How could anyone not hate uefelona? They tapped up cesc and Henry. They got refs to be bent for them. They breached ffp for years previously with impunity until more recently As for them surely achieving their objectives, there’s zero guarantee they win the league and CL which are their objectives every single season. Plenty of ways they can fail on that front just as they have done for a while now Lewa is the only signing they got that worries me because he’s *guaranteed* goals.

Yeap would love to see Barcelona fail. Don’t necessarily agree with massive wages in football etc but what they are doing to De Jong is disgraceful really. Hope he stands his ground.

Every club taps every player they are interested in it’s nothing new. There’s no how we would have known about Suarez clause if we didn’t speak to him or the agent before making the bid. We were on a road to nowhere and Cesc rightly left. He joined a bigger club. It’s not that deep, just football. Time helped me heal from that though. I think you should. As for buying up refs, if you don’t have evidence of that, then it’s just what it is. FFP? We were the only club that ever believed FFP would make us competitive.… Read more »

I love barcelona just the same way i love arsenal. And i don’t think barcelona mortgaging their futures by selling 25% of their tv rights because they inserted a buy back clause. They are among the top 5 club (if not the first in revenue generation). They have the biggest shirt sponsorship deal in football. I am happy barcelona are improving just the way arsenal are improving.

Adams

Barcelona and real madrid are the two super powers of football. 70%-85% of footballers dream of playing for them one day in their career, signing of top players is just natural for these two clubs.

I hate Barca the same way I hate Tottenham. Both classless piles of shite who I would love to see fail in a big way.

Batistuta

No news on incoming in midfield worries me a lot especially with more games this season.

Asides that really hope Jesus does the business for us this season

Marko

Bati they were super smart getting in players early getting them familiar with each other before the season starts but they forgot the one important area that still needs to be addressed and that’s the midfield. I dunno why I mean apparently they have a plan… unless their plan is to start the new season with the same midfield options and hope for the best

Bob N16

Marko, Zinchenko and Vieira can both play in midfield. Tielemans still to come in hopefully.

Batistuta

Marko

I really hope so too unless the plan is to play Zinchenko in midfield and that would be smart only if it works.

A Xhaka-Zinchenkco combo in the inevitable Partey absence for a long stretch is not exactly convincing on paper

Marko

Yeah we’re talking more central midfield and Vieira is a CAM and Zinchenko is barely a midfielder these days. I mean people keep bringing him up as this guy who will replace Xhaka in midfield but it’s wishful thinking considering he’s barely played there for years. So again midfield hasn’t and still needs to be addressed

Marko

I think Zinchenko is gonna be rotated/possibly replace Tierney as LB I don’t think he was targeted as a starting CM

GoonerDave

I thought Arteta was far too emotional in that clip. Being over emotional does not really show leadership and gives the wrong impression. I would give Arteta some leeway here though, as he is learning on the job.

Mysticleaves

Has Zinchenko ever played CM or DM though? Every article of him playing in the middle I have seen has him as an attacking midfielder. Our Partey cover is El Neny. He’s the only other DM in the team

Bob N16

I think we need another CM but I do think that Zinchenko in particular could play there. When Gabriel, Saliba and White are all playing, Zinchenko will more often than not be playing in midfield anyway.

A lot will depend on KT’s fitness of course. I know it was ‘only’ Scotland but Zinchenko was excellent in midfield.

Naija+soccer

Bob N16
“Marko, Zinchenko and Vieira can both play in midfield. Tielemans still to come in hopefully”

Have you seen the size of Vieira ? No way he can play CM in this league. Unless of course you meant he can play further forward as a 8 or 10.

Bob N16

Naija, I ‘m not suggesting Vieira will play deep but as an 8 or AM.

Naija+soccer

People say Vieira is built just like David Silva, Bernardo Silva and Cazorla but thats cap. He’s much smaller than all these guys. Cazorla maybe short but he was durable, David Silva i never worried about when he was getting linked to Man City, and Bernardo Silva was never that slight when he joined the EPL.

Hopefully he ll be fine because he looks a proper baller.

Mystic you’re strangely protective of Barca. I don’t need evidence of them paying off refs.

I’m looking forward to Vieira lad had what 16 assists last season from not being a regular starter. That says a lot about the player

That one made me sick. Absolutely absurd decision

Naija+soccer

Funny that Kyle Walker mentioned Zinchenko, Bernardo Silva and Mahrez as the most skillful players at City. Wonder if he was just complementing them or putting them in a transfer window. We ve paid 30 million for Zinchenko since then.
Guess who the next 2 transfers from Man City are?

Naija+soccer

We can’t seem to get a normal sized Vieira. Its either we get a giant(Patrick) or a hobbit(Fabio).

China1

Either just before or just after that rvp red card there was a case was Barca broke a handful of rules in a few short seconds. I don’t remember what, a foul, some pushing or something, absolutely nada from the ref

Rvp ‘kicks the ball away’ and the ref was all over it like flies on shit.

Disgraceful

Northbanker

Romano stating that we have never spoken to Arthur Melo in recent months and are not interested in him at all. TFFT – but it really begs the question of where so many different sources got the story from. Talk about recycling garbage.

I’d sooner we signed no one than risk another Willian type signing of a player who has now flopped at his last 2 clubs

Anyway it seems that Tets and Edu are not as bonkers as I thought last week

Habesha Gooner

I want Tielemans. But I agree it makes more sense to buy a more defensive midfielder considering our options. But having Xhaka as a starter for another season is equally unbearable as having no alternatives to Partey. But we have recruited Viera and Zinchenko who can play well in that Xhaka role. So it isn’t a huge issue. My ideal outcome would have been to get Bissouma and Tielemans and sell Xhaka. Make Sambi the reserve no 8. Let Partey and Bissouma fight it out. I wouldn’t have minded loaning out Sambi and keeping Xhaka as a squaddie fro a… Read more »

Watch the video of Zinchenko playing keepy uppies with Holding with them standing far apart from each other. Zinchenko was controlling the ball in magnificent ways. Walker wasn’t lying about his technical ability. If he fails at Arsenal it will be due to lack of effort and application, not technical ability.

Ishola70

There is no reason at all why Zinchenko could not play in midfield with Partey. There may be doubts about Zinchenko off the ball but as Arsenal have played Xhaka all these years it’s obviously something that Arsenal don’t concern themselves too much about. Whether a player is really good off the ball in midfield. When Tierney is available all that needs to happen is that Zinchenko has a few good games in midfield and he is capable of that and he can stake his claim for a spot in the midfield. He has been brought in over Tielemans because… Read more »

I take it that you read my Kyle walker post as a dig against Zinchenko. Nah Zinchenko is a baller for sure. I was just pointing out that Kyle walker played the role of a technical director in that video, which is talk up players that the club is getting ready to sell, increasing their value.

Maybe Edu should follow suit and perhaps clubs will pay the going rate for our outgoing players.

Chris

Barca are taking the piss quite frankly, regarding the de Jong payment situation.

Not paying one player what he is owed all the whole spending a shit ton of cash on lots of new players, when really, they ought to be reining it in considering their overall situation, it’s not very mes que en club is it?

Personally I want them to fail so badly, it would be everything they deserve.

Barcelona close to signing Bernardo Silva too. They are going to be a formidable team once again.

None of you know anything about what actually happened but for Arsenal to continue playing Partey, despite all of this, would make me question the “values” they so desperately cling to when they have to sell season tickets.

Mysticleaves

China, slow it man. The RVP red was disgusting. They sure as hell didn’t buy the ref. He was just not fit to ref that magnitude of a game. Arsenal also asked players to take pay cut, sacked many staff while pleading poverty only to dump on Willian and the others who turned out to be colossal wastes. We have also had the rub of the green with the refs at times. In high pressure games, the bigger teams often get edge the 50 50s. Know this. You can hate Barca though. It’s your choice.

According to the girl, Voldemort had put a cucumber in her mouth while she was sleeping. She said she would have been fine with Voldemort doing anything to her. As long as he woke her up first.

I really doubt the club would be playing Partey if they thought that he might be guilty. Perhaps they are experienced in these situations.

GD4

The decision not too sign Bissouma and go for Viera is even more head scratching considering our main midfielder’s issues. Just another bad error.
Doesn’t negate the many great things done so far but puts a lot of pressure on Viera looking like the next Cesc or Carzola.

Zinch is most un-Arsenalitedly a terrific ball player, dribbler. Arsenal shd be using these qualities of Zinch at the MF which had been missing since Cazorla’s injuries and eventual departure. If Tierney can play even 25 games this season, Zinch can play that MF role alongside Partey, 4th trophy 🏆 is assured.

At PL level, not just Zinch – no player can be expected to switch LB and LMF roles just like that. And, Tierney cannot be expected to play 10 games at at stretch. Hence, Zinch will be Arsenal’s first choice LB. So, why not sell Tierney by Jan and get Tavares back to back Zinch up!!???
