Amazon money even! Worth selling, selling, selling for if there was even a squeak of a chance!
He’s a special player for sure
Have a feeling we’ll sell Partey and will replace him with Caicedo
I do, too, actually!
My gut feeling is we've been waiting for Partey to agree to the Saudi's offer and then a bid to follow, and have told Caicedo he's our man if/when it happens. Otherwise, I think he'd be at Chelsea already. I reckon he wants to come here bad.
I wouldn’t bet on Mbappe unless we got him on a free next year. Mbappe and Haaland are players who make £30-40m a year. It’s out of our range. We need to see which strikers develop over next 12 months and strike
Claudius I wouldn’t bet on Mbappe
Bold.
Disappointed Nwaneri isn't going on the tour. I'd like to see more of him.
Qwiss Same. Wouldn't have brought Holding and Elneny personally. What's the point?
If they're going to be part of the squad next season, then it would have been incredibly disrespectful of Arteta to take Nwaneri ahead of them.
I'm also disappointed not to see more of him though. Looks very special.
Don't see why we have to leave Nwaneri and Skelly. We flying commercial or something? Can't afford the extra seats? We couldn't fit them on our team jet? Doubt there is a limit to the number of players we can take for non official pre season games.
Big Willie yeah take them along and let em go to Islands of Adventure. It’s epic there

I suppose you've got to draw the line somewhere. And there will probably be restrictions on the planes on the internal flights, coaches, hotels, training facilties etc.
Apparently Partey has a court hearing tomorrow hence why he couldn’t join the team on the plane.
Sicario2 - Tier 1
Would he be required to attend? Especially when it causes such disruption. Seems unlikely, but I'm no expert kn these things.
I think everyone is missing the biggest story.
Alex Runarsson makes the squad! 😯
Jorginho speaks well of the group. Encouraged Havertz to make the switch.
Seems like Arteta wants to see more of Balogun before deciding whether to stick or twist.
I'd convince him to sign on and then loan him off again if I don't think he's ready. He's worth a shot, if only from the commercial revenue he'll bring in being an American and America's #9.
He's not gonna go on loan again, he's made at least a couple of clear public statements refusing to do that. At some point a club has to listen to any player's career aspirations.
Just been given a link for a free month of MLS Season Pass (which is accessed via Apple TV+) and they are screening the game against MLS All Stars on Thursday. Not sure if it only works in certain countries but works for me (it's been shared by the NZ Arsenal supporters group). You'll just need an Apple ID (free to create if you don't have one). Just remember to cancel so you don't end up paying for a month. Time of the game couldn't be more ideal personally - 12.30pm kick off on a day I'm working from home.

invisibleman18 thanks for this - I'm all set.
10.30am for me. Might have to book in a "Teams meeting" - just put the sign on my office door and no one will know.
