Kel Varnsen You need some athleticism in the middle in this League even against the teams battling in the lower half of the table. Anyhow, what is done is done. City don't give the impression that all is well in their camp too. If we are 80% as good in the 2nd half of the season as we were in the first we will win the league. It has been a long time coming. Wenger could have won a title or two more with good January windows. If he had shown the same desperation in January to win the title as he did to save his CL place in the pursuit of Arshavin, he surely would have. Just hope we don't rue the same mistake.

HomeSteak Oh fuck off

HomeSteak that has to be a joke right? Why would we extend a player who is injured for the next 9mths? He can do his rehab and train with us and then sign for someone on a free transfer. He doesn't need to be extended for that.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

HomeSteak ROFL

Qwiss

HomeSteak how does that make any fucking sense now?

Clrnc

Pepe LeFrits Basically exactly the same as Willian who rejected their contract.

Qwiss

Big Willie sounds like Declan Rice

QuincyAbeyie

🚨 Elneny renewal with Arsenal has gone down very well among #AFC squad + staff. Feeling is the midfielder brings technical ability, tactical understanding, experience level ideal for title bid. #Elneny happy with money so all win

Clrnc

Why hasn't a single club gone for Tielemans? United, us, Chelsea, Liverpool all need a CM but showed no interest in him at all. Weird

Pity we don't fancy Amrabat. 30-40m would have been a great deal for him

HomeSteak

Clrnc i was thinking about that as well, and he would be pretty cheap you would think, with his contract running down. Maybe we are not seeing something about him? I know I've realized I have no idea about football to be fair lol. Maybe there is something really wrong with him? Or maybe he already has a deal in place with someone

QuincyAbeyie

Clrnc or Kessie, if they get Amrabat.

Clrnc

HomeSteak Only thing about all these available CMs that we don't go for them is that we have virtually agreed deals in the background for Caicedo and Rice already and don't need them to fill up the spots.

So Jorginho just for the title and then our main 2 targets comes in.

Doc

HomeSteak

Probably wants that juicey signing on bonus so it taking a risk as a free agent

goon

Clrnc you’d like to think so.

We need to go big this summer to consolidate our place at the top. Potential drop offs from Partey and Xhaka are probably our two biggest areas of vulnerability given their age.

Qwiss

Clrnc virtually agreed isn't an agreement though. It's a "would your client be interested in Arsenal" "yeah sure".

It means very little and Chelsea, United, etc can easily come in with a more attractive offer. Just look at Mudryk.

lorddulaarsenal

Chances are Partey stays fit anyways.

Jorginho will help us lift Europa.

Arteta clearly likes him and that’s more than good enough for me.

The guy has that spikey, will to win which we need.

Merse is applauding

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I'd be shocked if we moved for two blockbuster CM signings in the summer.

Clrnc

That's ridiculous lol

Big Willie

Clrnc doesn't apply to those 21 and under at the start of the season.

QuincyAbeyie

The Sambi loan is bizarre. I don't buy this "ESR is Xhaka's backup" talk, I think our starting midfielders will get significant EL minutes.

Panda

QuincyAbeyie He normally rotates 1 of Xhaka/Odegaard for the EL. So I think it'll be Jorginho, Vieira plus 1 of the other 2 one week then the other the week after.

I'm happy Lokonga gone on loan he needs the regular gametime, see if anything worth persisting with, if not sell him in the summer.

Be surprised if we sign more than 1 starting quality cm in the summer.

Elneny needs to go now. Jorginho is his replacement. No need for him any longer, extending his contract boggles the mind 🤯
