🚨 Arsenal reach agreement with AFC Bournemouth to sign goalkeeper Neto. Deal for 35yo Brazilian season-long loan - no buy option or obligation. Medical on #DeadlineDay as #AFC line up No2 to Raya after Ramsdale exit + struggle to get Garcia
@TheAthleticFC
------------------------------
Well the dude is here. Hope Raya stays fit. He isn't on the level of Ortega.
I just love the way Fabrizio steals someone else's breaking news, and adds a blindingly obvious inference to make it look like he has something to say. He's a fraud of an insider.
If Reiss goes, then for sure we are getting a RW back up. Reiss is the back up. 20 M is fine. All these sales, and I would expect a great player coming in. Adingra could be bought maybe? Young with major upsides
No matter how terrible we've been this summer I can't but laugh at Chelsea. These idiots are still trying to sign Sancho on deadline day even though they presently have more players than fans. Their madness is enjoyable to watch.
Sterling aint replacing Saka. just rotating lest we forget! lol Saka gets most of the big game mins. We aint buying a starter here. Just to help Saka rest. A loan for back up GK makes sense. Cheap. Doable. Heck it may be we have someone else in mind besides Raheem. Who knows.
Here is what Bournemouth fans are saying. If this is the case, we are taking a risk. Let's hope Raya is fit all season. He is experienced sure but has a lot of Bozo moments.
He's 30 in December on 300k a week and he doesn't play RW or CF...why the fuck are people calling for Sterling? I can honestly assume half of you dickheads don't watch the premier League or are so desperate for any signing. I'm desperate too but I'd sooner keep Nelson than fucking Sterling. He adds very little
Sterling slots in to Arteta's system, instead of Sancho needing time to bed in (like Kai did). Sterling knows he's a backup coming in-- behind Saka-- and he still wants to come-- and take a pay cut. Sterling has succeeded in a system at City that demands tracking back and pressing.
He’s worked with Mikel and knows the basics of Arteta ball because it’s derived from Pep
He’s been in premier league title campaigns- can help the dressing room
Despite your passive aggression, if you’re not a dick head (back at ya), you ought to know it’s going to happen if the finances are right. It is the most doable deal for Arsenal if Chelsea budge.
You’re angry because no one wants Sancho, besides you and there’s no indication he’s a good fit at Arsenal.
It's very deceptive the whole he's worked with Mikel he knows Arteta ball because Arteta has never managed him that was pep. And again can't stress this enough he's nearly 30. So nearly 30, declining, hasn't been part of the English set up in a while and doesn't really address anything. So basically people are okay with him collecting a fat paycheck on the bench cause he ain't challenging anyone's position.
very deceptive = conspiracy theory...did Sterling make the comments about Arteta while having a weapon placed on the side of his head by the Basque mafia?
A poor narrative to be drawn from a pair of well-expressed opinions.
Sterling fits into Arteta's system the same way Jesus and Zinchenko first did.
He fits as PL- and CL-tested. He wants to come to Arsenal.
He's coming in knowing he'll be Saka's cover.
Watched Sterling closely at Euros 2022. Southgate convinced Sterling to be a trackback monster that entire tourney. Doubt Arteta getting results from Sterling-- at your own peril.
Ah yes the LB disaster and the striker who can barely score. Look I'm sure all these guys are great for the dressing room but we need more if we want to win something
Jesus and Zinchenko were two players who elevated us from 5th to 2nd, twice. Now that the team is even better-- they've been supplanted as nailed-on starters.
If we want solid performers on the bench as cover-- you want players who want to be here. Jesus, Zinny, and now Sterling want to be a part of a title-winning team. They all have winning pedigree.
We're at the stage where it's going to be a loan signing, the club have left it too late either by omission or poor planning so obviously we will not get in a first choice option so if it's Sterling or Coman or whoever, they'd be an upgrade on a Nelson for example and allows the manager another option to rotate, doesn't seem all that bad and yea I'd rather Sterling than Sancho
Neto on loan because we're not going to pay 30 million for a goalkeeper who's worth a fraction of that. I am very much okay with that. But there's gotta be some attackers coming in otherwise what's the point.
Neto from Bournemouth on loan in Ramsdale's place is just what the doctor ordered. I'm not impressed with the GK per se but it is what it is. Just get a body in and hopefully we're not going to have to use him for any important game.
Means we're getting an attacker in. And not on loan is what I'm saying. Someone is coming...
I hope so. We literally have made money this summer. 0 net spend. I don't care about whether we spend 0 money. But when we have a clear deficiency in attack, it will be a problem,
There is actually a middle ground though. We could have gotten someone better for 10 to 15m. I wanted an old head but I have seen Neto have mad games that cost his team points. But I am okay with this as long as they get a major attacker.
Is anyone asking the damn question, why we are still scrambling last minute to find a critical piece to our season? As soon as Eddie was bandied around, we should have had a replacement lined up, ready to go. Now its just slim pickings again. I dont care if Jesus is kicking balls in the net in training, we know he aint gonna last all season.. no Eddie. We are short for cover for Saka, and Kai really. Darwin could have been a good cover. But here we are again. Groundhog day.
Seemed we spent all summer nickle and diming RS for Merino when we could have been landing that forward we needed
Unless there is PSR issues, the window we are having is ridiculous. It is a familiar feeling with Kroenkes in charge. What is annoying is the fact that we are one big signing away from doing something. I remember the summer we signed Cech for 10m and no one else. I was fuming.
It’s PSR. I think we sailed close to the vortex and had to step back from the brink
People get offended when you mention it.
We are up there in wages, have about 7-8 players on about or over 200k weekly, even our peripheral players are on 100k weekly.
The Declan White deal only happened because we agreed to pay a higher chunk of the fee upfront which is why we may be struggling now. We spent heavily last summer .
To me the common denominator are the Kroenkes. They spend when revenues are down, sponsorships aren't coming in. When UCL football is back and we are back making money, we are back to a Zero net spend summer.
Arsenal GK wasting time per Arteta’s instructions. Astonishing
new post
CL: Arsenal will face Inter Milan, Atalanta, Sporting Lisbon and Girona away from home.
They will welcome Paris Saint-Germain, Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb and Monaco to the Emirates Stadium.
can only hope that there is a whopper player in the works, one more day Edu, be like Santa
Whilst he’d be better than nothing I really don’t want us to sign Sterling
Chelsea should be left absolutely where they are in their financial mire. I don’t want us throwing so much as a 50p in their direction.
We really do need a forward tho sharpish
Losing ESR Vieira and Eddie with only Nwaneri stepping in would be negligence.

🔴⚪️ Arsenal and Bournemouth have reached verbal agreement for Neto as backup goalkeeper.
Deal will happen only if Arsenal will not be able to sign Joan García as Espanyol have rejected TWO bids today.
Espanyol insist on release clause or nothing.
I just love the way Fabrizio steals someone else's breaking news, and adds a blindingly obvious inference to make it look like he has something to say. He's a fraud of an insider.
There’s talk that Arsenal may sell Reiss to Fulham if they can come up with £20 million+ by tomorrow.
Club has contingencies to replace him.
whom
If Reiss goes, then for sure we are getting a RW back up. Reiss is the back up. 20 M is fine. All these sales, and I would expect a great player coming in. Adingra could be bought maybe? Young with major upsides

Not bad. I guess they wanted a player good with his feet. But he has a lot of bozo moments that might cost us. Let's hope we don't have to play him.

Sterling will be as useful as Trossard, coming from the right side.
He will have a point to prove, like Hazard proving a point to Chelsea.
He's 30 in December on 300k a week and he doesn't play RW or CF...why the fuck are people calling for Sterling? I can honestly assume half of you dickheads don't watch the premier League or are so desperate for any signing. I'm desperate too but I'd sooner keep Nelson than fucking Sterling. He adds very little

He’s willing to take a major pay cut

You just make shit up lol.
Why all the great compliments Sterling gave Arteta years ago?
Was it all a sophisticated plan to lure his Chelsea exile move this summer?
Very deep.
Also funny that you don't even recognise the aspects of Arsenal football that resemble Guardiola style. Clueless.
Left to me we should have signed Wilson Odobert. He only cost spurs 25 million and he’s a proper gem.
Sterling isn’t my choice.
It’s just that we’ve put ourself in a position where our choices are restricted.
A poor narrative to be drawn from a pair of well-expressed opinions.

Hazard got fat. Bad example.
as did his bank account, a correlation
Neto on loan because we're not going to pay 30 million for a goalkeeper who's worth a fraction of that. I am very much okay with that. But there's gotta be some attackers coming in otherwise what's the point.
Yeah

Bournemouth just bought a goalie hence the rumors
Why would he come to Arsenal to become back-up though
I hope so. We literally have made money this summer. 0 net spend. I don't care about whether we spend 0 money. But when we have a clear deficiency in attack, it will be a problem,

🚨 EXCL: Arsenal exploring a loan deal to sign Neto from Bournemouth as talks over Joan Garcia hit impasse.
Espanyol currently refusing to budge from Garcia’s €30m release clause.
@TheAthleticFC
🔴⚪️⬇️
----------------------
I don't know whether this guy is good enough.
I’m glad this deal has stalled
My problem is that Arteta has a knack for going back to players he missed out on before, like David Raya.
Oh he will. I think they are looking at going for him again next summer. Hence the loan for Neto for a year.
Neto.
Not who I'd ever consider-- to save our season, to possibly win the PL-- were Raya out long term.
When expressed in those terms-- is a £25M insurance policy all that much of an outlay for Garcia?
Or even his £30M release clause?
There is actually a middle ground though. We could have gotten someone better for 10 to 15m. I wanted an old head but I have seen Neto have mad games that cost his team points. But I am okay with this as long as they get a major attacker.

The player and position needs as determined by the management versus the fans do not always align. Take a deep breath.
Clearly, isn't that obvious mate given 90% of the comments in here.
Unless there is PSR issues, the window we are having is ridiculous. It is a familiar feeling with Kroenkes in charge. What is annoying is the fact that we are one big signing away from doing something. I remember the summer we signed Cech for 10m and no one else. I was fuming.
Of course there’s PSR issues. We have had 2 prior big spending windows and it’s an average loss over 3 years. Amortisation costs are kicking hard
It’s PSR. I think we sailed close to the vortex and had to step back from the brink
People get offended when you mention it.
We are up there in wages, have about 7-8 players on about or over 200k weekly, even our peripheral players are on 100k weekly.

How when we made that CL money and other monies too. We sold close to 100M so far. Where is the war chest? Something seems off
To me the common denominator are the Kroenkes. They spend when revenues are down, sponsorships aren't coming in. When UCL football is back and we are back making money, we are back to a Zero net spend summer.
content to sit on that money I guess. Kinda weird, almost the opposite thinking
