Welcome Cristhian Mosquera! Deals coming in thick and fast. ??

What happens to Kiwior - will we keep him.

Just need a LW now and then that's a complete window subject to departures.

Staying positive DG ?.

Welcome to Arsenal Gyokeres - let's get some goals! COYG ❤️?❤️?

Roll on Rod and Eze.

Ed, happy Friday. Are we looking to bring in competition for Ode? Are we looking at Bilal El Khannouss? Hope we get competition for Ode.

SY4

{Ed014's Note - who knows SY, plenty of links but we see them all the time.

Really just be good if Odegaard gets back to the form of 23/24, that’s my priority.

That season, apart from 3 goals scored he had better stats than the 2nd coming of our lord Jesus, or as he’s known on the Liverpool page, Florian Wirtz. ?

That was his title winning season too.

But going back to Bilal El Khannouss, that really is anyone’s guess. One of the rumours said Arsenal are the closest to signing him, was that last week, this week, earlier on Thursday afternoon or as of 4pm today.

Nice to see you believing something else an ex pro has said, who hasn’t been at the club for donkeys and I’d very much doubt knows anyone in the know. ?

Happy Friday!

True but I have a soft spot for O’Leary for one reason or another.

I need to stop that but I don’t see why the club wouldn’t back a striker signing and Arteta loves Kai for some reason so what Big Dave said seems highly likely. He probably has a little bitterness towards the club but I trust him more than Robson’s opinion.

Point taken…. ?.

{Ed014's Note - he does like Kai, hence why he bought him and Kai does bring something to the table and if we had a bona fida striker we’ll hopefully get to see what else he can do.

Would it be competition for Odegaard.

He is really an AM after all.


2.) 20 Jun 2025 15:55:28
Thanks for the reply and enjoy your weekend.

{Ed014's Note - you too SY.

Looking promising that Gabriel will negotiate a new deal with us. Great news and well done if true as tieing down our stars is important in a world where contracts get run down to maximise wages. ???.

Loan move for Mathys Tel till end of season?

SY4

1.) 02 Feb 2025 13:52:41
I thought about that until I heard he turned down Tottenham for potential loan deal at man united.


2.) 02 Feb 2025 15:18:22
Not sure there’s a better option that doesn’t tie our hands in the summer - can’t do nothing…. can we?


3.) 02 Feb 2025 15:47:47
unfortunetly I am getting ready for the fall out in the upcoming weeks when the club states we tried (Watkins) but nothing availble, and Nwaneri is like a new signing.

Great news if true - Ethan Nwaneri 5 yr deal. Bloody awesome ???.

Great news.

You are right Glenn - if we get Eze and Viktor Gyokeres I will be happy - don't understand the Madeuke signing but hopefully he adds good options on the wings. That is a good upgrade and a bit of intent. Not quite what I'd hoped or read but a great CM addition, strong CAM / LW and a striker who is a Gooner. Get those done and it's a decent summer. Might not be enough but decent. If Gyokeres can replicate what he did last season and adapt to epl then that could be the difference as we have played some great football and some quality in existing squad.
Bring it on ?❤️
And make Rice captain.

SY4

1.) 13 Jul 2025 19:53:18
I think Gyokeres will join along with Eze, and that CB from Valencia. I can’t see Rodrygo happening personally.
Which will mean our attack will be-
LW: Eze/ Mart
CAM: Ode/ Nwaneri
RW: Saka/ Madueke
CF: Gyokeres/ Kai
Some of those are obviously interchangeable.
That is an amazing amount of options to have.
COYG!


2.) 13 Jul 2025 21:27:08
It is - would prefer ; CF - Gyokeres/ Watkins

Would like to see LW and RW switch occasionally - Saka did it a bit end of this season…

You are right as these can switch a bit also - LW: Eze/ Mart, CAM: Ode/ Nwaneri, RW: Saka/ Madueke.

I don’t think we quite want it enough to get Watkins and Rod. That would be real intent and give us excellent goal scoring options esp if we go after Europe and FA Cup.

Interesting to see how Arteta copes with keeping big names / earners not starting in 25/ 6 eg Kai, Jesus, Zin etc

Going into the season better equipped at least - now we need to adjust our speed of attack and new captain.

{Ed014's Note - you and your intent! ?‍♂️


3.) 13 Jul 2025 21:47:27
You do know this isn’t Football Manager, Sy?


4.) 13 Jul 2025 22:29:41
Hi Glenn. Plenty teams switch wingers during the game and Saka did it last year.

Hopefully we get Eze as he looks pretty good and gives options LW and CAM which is great for options.

You are right though - with Jesus, Kai etc we won’t get another striker and can only have so many players.

Am I missing something?

Clearly Arteta will now have some “stars” who won’t start so hence I’m interested to see how he handles them and how they react. Hopefully it pushes them on as I’m sure they have plenty to offer.

Getting Eze would show intent - that’s probably the attack sorted.

lol - change org protest has 2500 signatures due to our lack of ambition. The fans aren't happy albeit just 2500 signatures in 24 hours.


"We can surely do better than Madueke and Gyokeres show some ambition repay the fans the same way we've backed the club for the past 2 decades. "

Are we not serious about winning stuff?

SY4

{Ed014's Note - wow, out of our estimated global fan base of over 100 million people, that’s a seriously huge percentage of unhappy bunnies!

It’s quite nice to know we have one of you on here! ??


1.) 10 Jul 2025 20:59:44
lol - we’ve signed a striker for the ladies…

No I didn’t sign it but it’s interesting to read and see the level of frustration. How many people sign those things? But there is a bit of noise about signing 6 CFC players ( better if it was just that keeper ) but also how we are conducting business and how we have lowered our standards.

Hope you are well - I’m great, happy and bloody busy at work. I’m frustrated that we’ve wanted a striker for 3 years but still not capable of getting it done

Still early but we’ve got a tough start.

{Ed014's Note - what standards have we lowered, have I missed something?

I’m good, busy to and love our start to the season, get in amongst them early doors!


2.) 10 Jul 2025 21:28:14
I have nothing to post in reply that wouldn’t get me banned! I’ll leave it COYG
#lunaticstakingovertheasylum?.


3.) 10 Jul 2025 21:32:22
A figure of 30m is being touted for Madueke. I reckon that's a bargain but I'm not sure I would want to come here if I was him.


4.) 10 Jul 2025 23:01:36
Sky saying we have agreed a fee of over £50m for madueke. but we can’t find the extra £5m to get gyokores ?.


5.) 10 Jul 2025 23:04:38
Sally, it’s being said Chelsea have rejected Arsenal’s opening £50m bid with them wanting 55-60m.


6.) 10 Jul 2025 23:18:21
Looks like it’s a done deal for £52m. Strange one but back up for Saka I guess.


7.) 10 Jul 2025 23:29:11
Good - glad you are well

From Nico to MADUEKE that’s lowering our standards.


8.) 10 Jul 2025 23:37:13
My mistake about the fee guys but I reckon if he's coming we should make him welcome.


9.) 11 Jul 2025 01:41:53
52m on a backup when we have Ethan is a mind baffling decision if true…Ethan with more game time will surpass Madeuke in no time. Saks is 1st name on the team sheet if fit (which majority of the time is) a confidante from the academy with such talent Ethan has got to be the perfect solution no?
If there’s money left in the kitty then Barcola or Yildiz (juventus lad) would be who I’m pushing for…left sided players that’ll give competition for Martinelli.
Let’s just get Bane over the line first ?.

UK TV have covered the Jota death for 3 days.

Amazing coverage for a non UK footballer.

Very surprised at the level of coverage as not a huge English star. Sorry if wrong thing to say.
No offense intended.

Guess it says a lot about the bbc

RIP - thoughts with family.

Licking my lips at the possibilities of our starting 11

Defence: Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel, Myles Lewis-Skelly


Midfield: Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze

Attack: Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres, Rogrygo

Yes it's gossip and yes some names will change but to me we get the midfield we've needed and the shift towards an exciting attack looks like we will be attacking king fast and strong goal threats across the board and in tight difficult games.

That's a change in mentality and tactics for me, a team that looks like it wants to win and be solid T the back.

Just need the C next to Rice and i'm over the moon.

Think of what that bench and cover that looks like. It's huge. I'm sure it will make Ode and Martinelli more effective as Martinelli is a caged beast. This could unlock him as he's gone backwards. Excited and hoping we see that change. I know it's paper talk but it shows what changes could lead to.

COYG - be brave and get it done

Happy Thursday everyone and if it happens - 3 more years!

SY4

1.) 04 Jul 2025 09:52:01
I'm excited too Sy. Personally I think there's a few options with the full backs - personally i'd start Ben at RB and rotate Timber between LB and RB, and MLS rotating between LB and midfield - presuming that's MLS best position and the plan for him moving forward - especiallyas we would then have Kiwior and Calafiori covering CB but can also do LB.

I'm also hoping that we're able to try some formation variations. With Declan, MLS, Zubimendi isn't that set up for a double pivot for a 4-2-3-1 allowing us to the play Ode as a proper 10, plus Nwaneri (& poss Eze if we get him) . And means we can play Kai in a role that might be perfect for him?


2.) 04 Jul 2025 21:01:19
Yep - the bench

It is exciting Jim - Ben could be a good option but Timber was solid. Good problem to have.

Interested to see where MLS plays - hot head that needs to chill ( slow learner there) but huge talent.

Best thing is pushing Ode further forward but I have concerns as he was dog awful last year. Sideways. Poor decisions, holding the ball too long and running down blind alleys. I’m not his biggest fan - poor man’s Ozil as doesn’t impact big tight games and not effective enough in front of goal. I’ve not turned on him after one season - reason Madrid let him go. Hoping a better attack and options gets best out of him but if not Eze steps in.

Must drop in to neither captain or vice.

One of my favourite players from yesteryear and a lovely guy - Sammy Nelson. Keep your shorts up ?

That’s exciting and at the risk of sounding negative, despite Dublin saying a similar thing, that would complete our window and make it an excellent one. It can’t be excellent without addressing the lw hole esp when buying Noni. That would be pretty awesome but also what was required if we are real.

Fingers crossed

So did you think we would win those prior 3 seasons Dublin. Coming second is not competing if it’s over come Jan or March. Not in a competitive world anyway. May be for you and hence I clarified exactly what I meant by top 2. Not negative but clearly communicating and truthful. You could argue the year before but did you really think we were going to win it?

Sorry but what’s negative about thst expectation - top 2 and a trophy?

My expectations are high due to the window and past few years.

My expectation is more attacking play and more goals.

Proper competing for title to the last week with a belief we can actually win it.

I don’t mean 2nd like the last 3 years but actually believing we could win this right till the end.

So - Top 2 and a trophy.

I think I said he’s in great shape, won’t get bullied and knows where the net is. Only question mark is stepping up to epl. That’s all. Clearly can score and if we play a faster attack it will suit him.

Dublin, looks like you’ve said the same as me yet I’m negative? Eze is the key domino to fall now as we really need a LW to open up our attacking options.

Thanks Ed - hope so. I’m just over zealous about making the changes and i'd rather over sign quality / number of attackers to ensure we are good. Coming from a good place just explain it in a rubbish way. The Arteta is Perg3ct brigade wind me up as he’s blown the league although I get it thst we are only there because of him. Enjoy your Sunday and thanks again.

I will be looking for happiness this year and enjoying our style of play. If that’s the case you will probably be pxssed with me for being too positive
