Bell says the bulk of the medical was done in madrid, thomas flying to london to finish medical, contract signing, media stuff. 11pm is creeping up, hopefully no silly late snags. Make sure the uber X from the airport is on full tank etc

Yeah, baffles me too. Even we had to pick up a part of their wages. 

I loved Ozil. I can't stand him now. 

The squad as things stand (assuming Partey comes in and Torreira leaves)

Leno, Runnerson, Macey

Hector, Cedric, AMN, Holding, Saliba, Mustafi, Sokratis, Chambers, Luiz, Gabriel, Mari, Tierney, Kola

Partey, Elneny, Xhaka, Ceballos, Willock, ESR, Ozil

Pepe, Nelson, Willian, Saka, Laca, Auba, Eddie, Martinelli

Midfield looks ok. Forward line needs to be trimmed by one or two. The defence, fuck me.

We've knocked back a late loan offer from PSG for sokratis. Dunno what the thinking is there

Unless they wanted us to continue to pay his wages

We wanted both, like what everyone is saying. 1 is a fair consolation though. Not linked to anyone else at all with a few hours to go, that should be it.

We can still do business with Championship teams until October 16. Imagine a Buendia madness coming up!

We can't sign anyone, only can sell.


I can't stop laughing


Journo in spain and all the madrid journalists thinks we have humiliated Atleti massively and they are livid.

We’ll just say it’s highly competitive.

At least there’s one position we will never get down to “bare bones“.

We should keep Torreira and execute the same plan here.

We were at bare bones a couple of weeks back. Never bet against an Arsenal injury crisis.

That is why we are signing all these center backs at the youth team level too.

Manchester United confirm left-back Alex Telles.

I think we thought Aulas would relent for Aouar but then that failed so we've made a go for Partey at the last minute. Maybe we asked Atletico for a deal using Toreira and they wouldn't play ball so its come to this.

Fuck them, they wanted to play hard ball. It's on them. Same with Lyon. They're going to struggle with FFP conditions after signing paqueta.

The worst to come out of this entire window is John Cross. Total lack of knowledge and even the most basic release clause he didn't understand.

Anyone got a feeling we’ll see another player arrive?

Go on get Zaha

It's sad to see. He probably dreams of the days when he'd be spammed with Ornstein memes for always being second to the news. Now he's like the guy from The Wire talking to homeless guys outside the Emirates to use as a source.

How good is our transfer dealing really? I mean Gabriel (27m), Partey (45m) and Willian (free) don't even add up to one Maguire (80m)
