Apparently PSG rejected RM's third bid of €200m.

Rohit

Wow. That's insane. They will be happy letting him go on a free next season.

Totally doesn't work this way. It's a buyer's market. Can't imagine us waiting to bid for a player if we really wanted them. If we wanted a specialist RB we would have got it done early in the window, like how we were prepared to pay over the odds for White and Ramsdale to get them in early. If not we would have waited till now.

It is and it has.

Whether RB was a priority or not is a Chinley different matter.

Those of you suggesting Royal 'preferred' Spurs over Arsenal, I believe this troll is your source. Blimey.

saliba gets replaced by white and white gets replaced by tomiyasu. brilliant. he learned something from pep when it comes to CBs, keep buying until you find the right one.

Bloke is a raving Spurs fan

Next season we’ll have White, Gabriel, Tomiyaso, and Saliba as centreback options. Excellent pool.

Tomiyaso signing may also free up White to play as a defensive midfielder in certain situations

L'equipe reporting that Griezmann is headed back to Atletico on loan with option to buy.

What a waste of 100 million !

Barcelona are looking to sign Luuk De Jong as their striker now. Supreme clusterfuck.

and only one being left-footed? arteta won't stand for that, one of them has to be replaced by a left-footer.

😆 😆 😆

I like de Jong for what he is, made a lot out of his limited talent, good work rate and unbeatable in the air. He's probably the least Barcelona type of striker I could imagine 😆 whoever could've seen this happen with that prick Koeman in charge

lorddulaarsenal

Barca are in such a state

It is possible that some good foundations have been laid this summer. Moving forward a squad with:

GK - Ramsdale, Leno
RB - Tomiyasu
LB - Tierney, Tavares
CB - White, Gabriel, Saliba,
CM - Partey, Lokonga,
AM - Ødegaard, Smith Rowe, Saka, Pépé
ST - Aubameyang

Looks overall like a good young group with lots of quality and potential. Add to that the exciting Hale Enders we have coming through and we could see something good come together over the next couple of years. Whether that's Arteta doing the near impossible and turning the club and fans around or a new guy.

Maybe we have to accept the real head turning players aren't an option right now because it's never happening? I mean it's obviously true, but maybe we have to accept it? And putting together a functioining team with young players that 1) want to come and 2) are fit for purpose with the way we want to set the team up, is the first step to getting back closer to the big boys.

“Agents texting me asking do I know any clubs after a right back” 😆

Yeah, ok mate.

Not many were expecting head turning playing players, guys like Bissouma and Emerson would have done. But instead Arteta chose to spend it all on White and Ramsdale.

Maybe it's time to accept the huge mistake of keeping Arteta on as manager before more damage is done.

Can't then act surprised when we are where we are after all the stupid decisions that have been made.

I'd be okay with going into the season like this:

-------------Leno
Emerson-Saliba-Gabriel-Tierney
-------Partey---Bissouma
Pepe--------Buendia---------Saka
-------------Auba

All for less than what we actually spent.

It's much worse by us if he didn't prefer Spurs but we simply wanted to buy another CB instead.

lorddulaarsenal

It puts us in much better shape than we’ve been in for a number of years.

A couple more windows should see us in great shape. Focus to be on getting a striker, central midfielder and another option at rightback.

Well, it's all on Arteta now. He has the international break to get players fit, work on his team with most of them around, and then line up against teams we are better than with something close to his best XI out there. And no Xhaka! Either he brings it together or he will be sacked.

Either way, I think we have had a pretty good summer.

lorddulaarsenal

Read that KSE know there isn’t a quick fix to our problems, hence them being patient with Arteta

Will be very interesting to see a team which includes White, Tomiyaso, Gabriel, Partey, Ramsdale and Lokonga. Will definitely be able to work the ball much better
