Autumn tran!

Just in, Coutinho offered on loan (or a laughable 70 mil) to us. Fortunately only tabloids so far. Cos... do not want.

Every famous french player seems to grow up as an Arsenal fan

Do you think that’s still the case?

Clrnc

Even if that's the case nobody wants to come here these days. The reputation of our club when Wenger was declining was bad enough, constant thrashing in big games and laughing stock in UCL.

Now we are pretty meaningless. Not even part of the discussion to be honest

Saliba an up and coming young french player who has been scouted by the best disagrees.

"The history, the badge... since I was little, I've been watching Arsenal play in the Champions League and so on, and there are a lot of French players who have come through here. So that really helped me to make my mind up,"

Those statements are written by the clubs PR department and agreed by the player and his representitives. The players can add bits here and there aslong as it's agreed beforehand, but that's essentially just a club statement read by the player.

You see the difference in level of player Pool can attact when theyre in the CL and not in the CL. We're no different in that when were out of it theirs far more players out of reach. But we do ahve the opertunity to play younger guys who what to comit to their development and arent ready for Pool.

Good point, still remember a few new signings talking about how Arsenal play the best football in the league. Still they don't have to say it.

Wonder what this means for Kola, Tierney and plans for Saka

GooneriC

Could mean Saka moves up to Left wing , and Kurzawa and Tierney rotate the LB spot. Kolasinac would be the one to be let go.

I’d expect the same. Would be good asset management if we get a fistful of dollars for Kola.

QuincyAbeyie

Don't see why Tierney would rotate unless you mean when he's injured.

lorddulaarsenal

Saka should be our starting left back

lorddulaarsenal

Genuinely looks like the strongest centreback I’ve seen in years.

Animal.

Coombs

Guy is a brick wall.

Clrnc

So raw though, and this is only his first season after breaking through, not sure if he's worth 15m.

But looks like the links are legit.

Still don't understand Kurzawa.

lorddulaarsenal

He’s green but him and Saliba playing alongside Luiz will be just the ticket for a season or two

Coombs

I dunno, I'm afraid of these extreme youth signings all over the pitch. Not only are they so unproven, but they haven't established they can stay fit. We're just asking for more injury-blighted careers we are financially over committed to. There's needs to be an anchor in defense, we still don't have that (Luiz ain't it). Just one mid-career CB we can actually trust and get behind, who has proven themselves at the top level, like one of the Atletico or PSG boys, Milan Skriniar, or someone in that vein.

Qwiss

Definitely need an experienced head beside Saliba but I wouldn't want it to be Mustafi, Luiz, etc Those guys are not mentors for a young player like him. Totally agree with Coombs that we need a solid mid career proven player. Ideally someone solid from the PL for me although that usually comes at a premium. One player like at is needed in midfield too, an Arteta type.

Hate to put it out there , but Saka hasn't signed a new deal and plenty of clubs after him. I hope we haven't decided to cash in.

lorddulaarsenal

It’s a concern.
