Lokonga is shite. Sell him to Burnley as it was Kompany who recommended him from Anderlecht.

A year or so ago when Arteta subbed him at half time against Forest in the fa cup I thought it was ridiculously harsh a) he wasn’t the worst player on the pitch even and b) was just going to knock his confidence.
But fuck me this season, he’s just been so terrible….the fact that he looked off the pace even against Oxford United is saying something.
I also notice that he went from being a regular starter under Patrick Vieira to a benchwarmer under Woy, and considering as much as I like PV he wasn’t getting the results and Woy was that speaks for itself.
So yeah agree, think we’ve given him time to prove himself and he’s not a youngster anymore he’s 23/24…he’s just useless
Late last night Ornstein revealed that we’d reached “total agreement” over Rice with the Ammers.
So the signing announcement is likely imminent (well within next few days anyway)
City are claiming that the price and the payment structure for Rice was set too high
Just wanted to reiterate that for those who have been recently sheepish, despite bemoaning Arsenal for low balling and lacking ambition with the structure of payments we offer.
Now do I think paying this much is worth it? Absolutely not…I’d have walked away just like we did with Baldrick. But I think it puts to bed the claim that Arsenal have too much of a small club mentality to get these big deals done.
In fact I’d actually say we’ve shown the Chelsea mentality, which in my mind is far worse…but the people stating the opposite. You were very wrong about this, it’s not your debut at being wrong so there’s no reason to feel too downhearted
Massive signing really, probably the most significant since Ozil or maybe Alexis.
Times have definitely changed since the days of signing no outfield players in a summer window and even profiting from transfer windows most of the time.

I couldn’t be more excited says man with most dour facial expression
No doubt we've overpaid for Rice and probably Havertz too but fair play, we've gone out and got the players the manager wanted. Timber too.
I've a feeling we might see one more in once the sales are sorted.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. 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.
Tchouameni talk doing the rounds which would be awesome.
Partey and a few others would need to be moved on first though.
Fee agreed for Jurrien Timber
Also there appears to be a devil worshipper skulking about (apparently the dark lord is in to all variety of cue sports). Can someone kindly come and remove him, and remind him that most people grow out of summoning demons.
