What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

Would it be greedy to ask for another signing? CM please, back up to Partey, the money is there
I don’t get this idea that signing literally anyone helps a title push. If that was the case why not just shove in academy players into the team.
27 million is outrageous money given his contract situation. Look what Everton paid for Maupay….they’ve seen us coming
Its 20 million plus 7 in possible add-ons apparently.
Good news, if true.
Get him registered before 12pm tomorrow.
He was only 28 six weeks ago, he is not too old.
A decent PL proven player who should be able to just slot straight in. It’s obviously not deal of the century but considering we showed our hand with Mudryk, there was always going to be an Arsenal tax on whoever we signed.
Also, Brighton triggered a years extension on his contract to protect his value, so he would not have been free in the summer. It’s 21m with add ons to 27m. Presumably if those add ons are met it would mean success for Arsenal too so that would be money well spent anyway.
The price is nothing really these days. This would have been a 10m player 10 years ago but that’s football now.
Confirmed and good to get this window going....but honestly the more I read the way he fell out with the manager the more I fear our Night King will make mince meat of him

Trossard is a very good signing. Very happy with that. £21m for a prem ready, prime years player is excellent value. Arsenal have suffered from losing players for cut prices because the player wanted out often enough, so it's good to have benefited from a similar situation.
He's a big game player too. Always looked good against us has goals against other big teams including the hatrick at anfield a few months ago.
Strengthens our weakest area of the starting 11, with Saka and Martinelli being extremely inconsistent/patchy with their end product.
I get the Partey concerns as that's the highest risk area, but ideally a Partey backup wouldn't see a single domestic start anyway. So the money has went on the right area for me, man.
If we lose Partey we're fucked anyway. Some players just can't be backed up/replaced and he's one of them.
This. My view is that this is a good move by Arsenal
- Capitalised on an EPL ready player who is good technically; scores goals and was unhappy at Brighton. As far as I am aware there was no prior history of trouble making with him, so not sure its fair to label him as intrinsically trouble. Who knows the ins and outs of the fall out with his former club.
- People, including me, were saying that we needed some cover. Well we are signing Trossard to help us immediately, not for the future (that Mudryk would have been), so the fact that he is older is not an issue.
- As you say, the price is not outrageous given (1) it's January and well known that we need some bolstering, and (2) the fact that other recent signings have skewed the market. From what I hear he will be on circa £80 per week, so won't upset the wage struture of heap pressure on the contract extensions that we badly need to secure.
- Leaves money in the bank for longer term signings.
Not a great deal not to like here.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I'll say again - 7 goals and 3 assists in the PL so far this season, that's less than half way through, he's a good addition

Chelsea have finally made another signing!
£29m to PSV for Noni Madueke.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
