@Qwiss and @Claudius -- surely it's too early to decide on the Havertz deal. His contract runs through 2028 and we'll only know his value - and our "return" - once we find out if a new striker dislodges him and how he reacts.
MistaT yeah thats probably fair.
Claudius he's one of the top 10 highest earners in the league (or at least was before the Jan transfer window), he's not one of the top 10 players, not close.
Don Pacifico don't care. Don't like him. Inherently dislike anyone who has played for Chelsea. My beef runs deep.
flobaba to be fair, you don't seem to like many players who play for us either. 😆
JazzG eh, I'm a supporter of his (against the idiots)- he puts it all out there, but I know he's also one of those "almost" players most of the time.
I'm one of the idiots. I'll be relieved when he's no longer listed on the .com.
Yeah, but only cos many of them are/were mid, and we deserve better.
I like Timber. Ben White's replacement.
I like MLS. Zinchenko's replacement.
I like Raya. Ramsdale's replacement.
And I will love Martinelli's replacement. Just you wait! 🙂
Best of luck to him, I wasn't all that excited to have signed him but he has been a solid player for us and a real leader at the club as well. A shame he was injured often and could see in the last year or so that physically was declining.
JazzG that's good. No reason to stop him, done a good job for us and can leave on good terms.
I like Jorginho. He’s a good guy.
If he joined us pre-Chelsea could have been an Arsenal legend.
Will never forget his goal v Villa in 2023. Fuck Martinez. Also his captains performance v Newcastle away in the same season after we lost the league.
Sicario2 a real class act, on and off the pitch. As you say, a shame we didn't snag him earlier.
Sicario2 This
Fantastic video.
Lovely video. Wish him well.
I had hoped we would keep him rather than Partey for an extra year and then transition him into a coaching role. Here's to seeing him back some day.
RowJimmy Am guessing he wants to finish his playing career in Brazil? Also in a less frantic league he probably still has something to offer.
Who knows when he finally hangs up his boots there might be a place for him at the club. I think Mikel really rates him on and off the pitch and the players all really get on with him. He was like an extension of Arteta at times, Arteta couldn't get out of his box (well he always pushed it) but Jorginho could get high up the pitch to shout instructions.
I like the video because they'll never have him back at Chelsea now. Same goes for Havertz actually. The whole subtext is "Chelsea is shit".
Our best signing from Chelsea?
lorddulaarsenal my order for Chelsea chaps is
Havertz Jorginho Cech Yossi Luiz Willian Sterling Gallas
lorddulaarsenal
How quickly we forget about Gallas........................
(i'll get my coat. lol)
Claudius Yossi
Ohhhh i forgot about Benny... he was a little bit useful here and there.
Claudius I'd swap Luiz with Cech personally, but otherwise I make that about right. Luiz drove me, us, mad but instrumental in that FA Cup win, whereas Cech... Well, I thought he was basically appalling for us.
And how bad is it that Willian, as bad as he was, isn't bottom of your list?
Claudius really don't like any of them except for Havertz and Jorginho. I thought I'd hate Jorginho but turned out to be a decent bloke and useful player.
