I genuinely think the best thing in the world would be Harry Kane stays, then leaves on a free when Sp**s come 8th.
Leaves on a free to come back to Arsenal
Kane’s good as gone. THere goes Spurs lmfao
Dude imagine he flakes out on it after all this lmao
Annoying that they’ll actually get a pile of cash for him though
@Matt_Sams_314 @Astrealix yeah but they’ve already spent a bunch and/or are close to spending a lot (on a few defenders I think); have a feeling that spending happened because they knew they’d sell Kane.
@WorldcupCSR @Matt_Sams_314 @Astrealix What would that mean for them if he said “hell no, I won’t go”?
@ronsboy67 @Matt_Sams_314 @Astrealix it would be ‘chefs kiss’
@WorldcupCSR @Matt_Sams_314 @Astrealix That’s what I was thinking - a magnitude 25 on the Richter quake as Gooners the world over literally rofl. To borrow from Bill the Bard “tis a consummation devoutly to be wished” 😁
EXCL: Harry Kane agrees ‘deal in principle’ to join local rivals on expiry of contract in 2024. Arteta said to “have literally brainwashed and hypnotised [him]” into joining North London rivals.
@Astrealix love that Ellen White is the only BBC pundit to predict that #Arsenal will win the league: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66434067
Keown needs more faith in us.
@Astrealix @thatdosbox Ellen also predicts Villa will be fourth!
@gunnerfunda @Astrealix yeah, that feels like a stretch, but it would be hilarious if it happens. I’m more surprised nobody put Brighton in fourth.
Courtois is out with an ACL. That’s a big fucking rip.
Kepa here we go …
I’m sure there’s a working fax machine at David de Gea’s house
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.
We still haven’t replaced Steve Round. Wonder if we’re planning on doing so.
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.
Orny just tweeted… Kane’s leaving wow
He’s actually going through with it
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.
Trusty went to Sheffield United for €10m.
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.
31 hours until the curtains raise!
