Always thought Simons looked far better than Gapko when we played PSV that year.
HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!
Darren Dein's been his agent for a year. A total snake in the grass, but it's about time he dragged a player back to Arsenal.
Claudius They will let him grab someone's throat or kick a man six feet into the air before contemplating a yellow card.
Until he joins Arsenal after which he'll start getting yellows for breathing on someone.
Mbappe confirmed he will leave PSG.
Fuuuuuuck you @Clrnc
Big Willie got me as well
Big bit of houseboat here but if this were to happen we’d all be shaking our willy’s for eternity
Raya
White Saliba Gabriel Timber
De Jong
Ødegaard Rice
Saka Havertz IsakGoing into next season with that XI and a packed bench would be a monstrous willy shake alright.
The Times is reporting that we're open to selling Richarlison and Bissouma to fund a striker, a midfielder and a defender.
It's an interesting one. Richy has definitely been better for us this season than last season, but it might not be quite enough for Big Ange to take us to the promised land. No matter what, we need to find a solution here because Sonny is definitely way better on the left than down the middle.
DiabyKungFu Reading that hit me like:
None of those players are good enough. Maybe Ange is serous after all
That little girl has to be related to Bill Murray.
Re the earlier discussions about Bruno G being a violent animal - I refer to the movie The Commitments - "yeah, but he's our animal".
Burnwinter At the risk of nitpicking, I THINK I'd swap De Jong and Rice's roles here. I don't think De Jong is good enough defensively to anchor as the 6 and would rather him be more freed up to help with the first and second phase buildup.
samthegooner It's gonna be one of those ones. We've had a few issues with Rice at 6 as well.
Only get those players in, I reckon the formation would sort itself out.
Burnwinter It will also give us the flexibility of switching it around based on the opponent, much like we did with the Jorginho/Rice pivot at times in early 2024.

Camden is a little more reliable these days though maybe it’s because he gives himself get out clauses like below, but I’d be amazed if this is true. If it is then Arteta must have a hell of a lot of faith in his coaching abilities.
