Links to Mazraoui popping up
HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!
He is like Hakimi , perfect for a wingback role and a back 3 , not so good in a 4 man defense.
Better than what we have though
Biggest signing we can make is recall Saliba.
You’re going to be in for a shock when he does eventually start games for us
As long as Arteta is here everyone will look like shit. We could field Messi and he'd score 6 goals a season with this coach in charge.

Not as much of a shock when arteta spent 50m on white.
Look he’s obviously a work in progress, but I’d rather he build his experience here this season, as the season in already a write off. Nothing to lose and these guys will be better for it in the future.
Same goes for Lokonga, ESR, Balogun, Martinelli etc
Bruno Guimarães: “Arsenal approached my agent, but there was no offer. My aim, and I made it clear to Juninho, is to win a title with Lyon. My aim is to win a title here, but I have never hidden my desire to play in the Premier League.”
Xhaka new contract probably killed out interest
Yeah, we will have only 3 left if AMN leaves.

Perfect player to go next to Partey.
We decided to extend Xhaka instead.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are set to battle for 25-year-old Brighton and Mali midfielder Yves Bissouma in January. (Mirror)
What would be the frakking point when he'll be unavailable to the AFCON for a month in Feb?
If he was ever a transfer target for this season after being 'linked' prior to the transfer window opening, then you do it so he can contribute before he goes away, and not just after.
For that matter the same applies re Onana. Even if he can't play and will miss 5 months of the season you may as well have just signed him as well as paying out the wages for the likes of Kolasinac ffs.
Some talk the Inter want to sign Leno as a free agent and will look to talk with him in Jan.
Leno isn't going to be free until 2023 bro.
Leno's contract is until 2022?
June 30th 2022 is what I am seeing from multiple sites online.
He had 3 years left when Martinez left from what I understood. Meaning he'll still have 1 year next summer.
Inter Milan are among the clubs interested in Arsenal and Germany goalkeeper Bernd Leno, 37, who is expected to leave the Gunners on a free transfer when his contract expires next summer. (Tuttosport - in Italian)
Transfer Market has him out of contract at 30th June 2022.
Dunno where all these new reports are getting their information from. Everything from earlier on the year suggests his contract was up in 2023 and that he still had 2 years left to run.

I mean if he really does have his contract running out this summer then the club made a huge, huge error not forcing him to sign a new long term contract when they decided to pick him over Martinez. I wouldn't put it past them tbh especially considering how hard we've pushed for Ramsdale this summer but I still think his contract has 2 years left
Maybe his contract is until 2022 and we have a year option on it?
That's the only other possible explanation. But then again it'd be pretty stupid not to exercise that right in advance when you realise he might leave on a free next year.

Suggests a 5 year contract signed when Leno joined in 2018, which would put its expiry at June 2023.
