Heard that Nwanari is stilll on holiday as he was part of the England u21 squad so was given extra time off so could be social media looking for more clicks. (Hopefully)

What is abundantly clear is that our summer transfer plans are basically ‘let’s see what happens when July hits’
Which quite frankly, is fucking pathetic.
For a club that has ambitions of being back at the top, makes me fully question if those ambitions are real.
We have reverted back to the Wenger days.Originally Posted by KSE Comedy Club
As long as we finish in the top four and line the pockets of Kroenke empire, Arteta will survive.
Dark days ahead at the Emirates.
I'm not particularly interested in defending Arteta or Berta - far from it - but there is the fact that in some countries the financial year starts 1st July, it's been bandied about as a reason for some of the delays, but they've not got that excuse now
They're still haggling over sums that these days are peanuts tbh, if we're paying £65m on Havertz to play in a position he wasn't even suited to why not pay the same or a little bit more for a striker who the signs indicate can do a good job up front
Romano is saying it's because Nwaneri is asking for a gaurantee over playing time and Arteta, being a ****, isn't giving the right answers
If we lose him, especially if it's because we signed Madueke, I'm Arteta out

This line of thought has been largely neglected by many ever since the Rice signing, which a lot of us at that time saw as a sign of ambition.
However the more one steps back and analyses things, the more it looks like this could be legitimate.
I mean we keep focusing on defensive players when for the last 3 years (cumulatively) we've been the best defensive team in the league by practically every metric. It seems that is the main attribute that has kept us in the top 4 and instead of logically trying to improve our attack with the same type of gusto, we seem to consistently go after and get reliably linked with B to C class attacking talent (Madueke a prime example).
Isak, we knew was never in the cards. Kvara, we knew was never in the cards. Mbappe IIRC was also mentioned immediately after our breakthrough season.
Besides Gyokores (and lets face it, he can't be ascribed as more than a B talent yet), there is no attacking player we are currently linked to that is at the top of their game or can be said to be on a clear upward trajectory.
It seems we are happy to do what we think is enough to stay in the top 4 and just like the recent past it seems the only way to get meaningful change now is to hope we fall out of it so the suits panic and make clearly obvious decisions that have been staring them in the face for years.
Not that I really disagree with your analysis but how many A class strikers are there
In the premier league I’d argue you have Haaland and Salah (Isaak is potentially there but too often injury hit)
In Germany you have Kane, Spain you have Mbappe
That’s really about it. Whilst I would question our ambitions for sure unless things pick up in the next few weeks, the really top strikers are simply not there
Looking at Madueke would be about providing cover to Saka and potentially moving Nwaneri to the centre. We need big players for sure but we also need squad depth, so it’s really a case of who else we sign
The argument about Nwaneri potentially leaving for Chelsea is that he wants more game time, he’s going to get that at Chelsea who collect players like old people collect Hummel figurines??, doesn’t exactly make a lot of sense. Bit of mischief making there
Zubimendi is finally official.
Yep
Saw an Arsenal blog post earlier saying he was being announced today
He was meant to be announced Thursday but Jota news and Partey meant it was delayed
Good to see, let's hope he's not accused of anything though, because it'll obviously mean he's guilty and we'll have to get rid of him immediately
