summer '22 transfer craziness and stupidity

If Lacashit had worked as hard scoring goals as he did pushing his racist politics he'd have a CL winners medal now.

Most hateful cunt to ever disgrace the shirt, goodbye and good riddance.

Big Bill Saliba is coming home and wants to prove himself in an Arsenal shirt…

From the player’s mouth. Hopefully we can put this one to bed now.

(Or at least until his next contract negotiation.)

(Which looks like it will be immediately! *sigh*)

Is this the guy who never played a game? And he wants a new contract?

This is a new low, surely? Tell him to fuck off and get a hard working British lad from the lower leagues.

Fancy yourself starting for The Arsenal do you?

He’s not asked for anything, but he is down to 2 years on his contract now - like it or not that’s when clubs start talking new deals with players to stop them getting into final-year territory, where they start thinking about free transfers.

City apparently have an interest in Saka.

Sure it won’t develop into anything this summer but let’s just say it’s essential we qualify for the CL next season.

And Liverpool. And we've been here before.

(City Owner) £50m?
(Stan) Thanks very much!

Hopefully you're right as we're definitely missing a physical presence up front.

I just wonder if Jesus is being signed on the promise of being the main man.

Spurs have apparently contacted City regarding Jesus.

Hmmmmm.... I wonder who he will choose? Champions League or Europa League.

Don't worry though, we have Steady Eddie Nketiah

Or, more optimistically, if his primary objective is ensuring a starting role in the Brazil squad for the WC... Will he risk bench time behind Kane and Son, with a team playing a different style from what he's used to, or guaranteed first choice status under a manager who knows him well, aiming to play a style familiar and suited to him?

Call me a fool, but besides the current CL football on offer, I don't necessarily see Spurs as a more attractive proposition than Arsenal. Yes, big name manager, but he's made it clear he'd rather be somewhere else, they're good at what they do, but the style of play may not be so desirable to top quality players, and most of their squad has already peaked, whereas most of ours are at an age where you can realistically expect improvement.

All that said, I wouldn't put it past this club to botch the transfer window, and certainly fear we won't get our business done in a timely manner, because when do we ever?
