    I genuinely think the best thing in the world would be Harry Kane stays, then leaves on a free when Sp**s come 8th.

          Man United treated him poorly after making the seventh most appearances for them. It’s not his fault the tactics evolved past him.

            Eh, did they though? They stuck with him for a long time, way past him being at his best. They even kept him and let Henderson go on loan when Henderson was arguably better. I’d argue they’ve treated Maguire way worse; he was gonna be leaving no matter what this window, no need to strip the captaincy before he left.

              Oh man. Forgot Maguire was even still there. Ten Hag has no trust in him and then we’ll probably still see Maguire the number 1 CB for England.

      I thought I heard that Airpod Albert is now the assistant manager and it was always the plan to phase out Round.

        Wasn’t he already assman last season though? Are we just happy with having one less coach then?

          Looks like you’re right, he has been listed as the assistant manager for years now. But when Arteta is thinking on the sidelines, it’s always been Albert - I don’t think I’ve ever seen him and Round conferring in the technical area. My theory that it was always the plan to have Round move on is based on that. In addition, I heard rumors (maybe from Arseblog?) that Round was primarily brought in to address the locker room culture, and management may feel that that issue has been addressed now.

    Arsenal need to sell quicker. We have depth but we also have deprecating assets. The longer some of the players stay without playing time, the more they lose transfer market value. Xhaka and Turner have gone for transfer fees, am I missing anyone? Just two while the window narrows is not a good start.

        Correct, I need action on Tavares, Cedric, Pepe, Sambi, Holding, and Runarsson. Luckily there are some desperate clubs out there.

          Besikatas going to double their bid for Holding from 2.5 to 5. Lol.

          Sambi can go on Loan to Burnley and I’m sure a club will come in for Tavares. Runnarsson will probably see out his contract to next summer tho.

    There is no fucking way Caicedo lives up to these reported fees right? I’m glad we backed out months ago

      No way we would’ve spent another £100m+ on one player and not be getting FFP coming after us.

    Carabao cup is already kicking off, and our Mauro Bandeira has made his senior debut with Colchester there! They lost 3-0 on pens after a 2-2 draw.
