lorddulaarsenal very, very interesting.
On Isak
Transferee window ends in a month. Given that many top players are still literally on holiday, I think it goes long. But I’m watching for the following

Is it just me or does Saka's picture get used an awful lot around negative football headlines? getting a bit ridulous.
IBL "Content creators" (it'd be flattering them to call them news editors, no offence to any actual content creators here) who don't mind the prejudiced configuration if it bumps the "impressions" by miles ...
Yup happens all the time.
Joao Pedro is an interesting shout. I need to watch more of his highlights/every touch clips from the last two years but I was impressed with him last year in the limited looks I got from watching Brighton. He reminded me a bit of a bigger Gabriel Jesus but I may be off base there. He also seems like a bit of a late developer as I remember him joining from Watford but then taking a decent amount of time to start making an impact at Brighton (initially I thought he was a flop but admittedly wasn’t watching him game in and game out). The game I remember from this year was against Palace where he scored a great goal combining with a midfielder outside of the box before scoring on a first time trivela finish. If that’s the type of player he is, there’s definitely a spot for him in our attack. But I worry that his production is stunted by him being a penalty merchant as I seem to remember him scoring quite a few this year.
Interested if anyone else has seen a lot of him and if he’d be a good option here. I’d imagine his price would be close to 50m.
lorddulaarsenal — not sold on Pedro, and I don’t think he offers anything more than Jesus.
Seems to only score penno’s
Pedro feels like a lesser version of Zirkee. No eye for goal but great dribbler
Clrnc so another Gabriel Jesus
Some links to Solanke popping up. Wouldn’t be adverse to it.
lorddulaarsenal he’d be good as a booster. Same way Germany recharges with Fulkrug on 70 minutes. But I still like Havertz as the main starter
The only 2 links to Solanke that I can find come from "complete football" and that is from july 9. and one from june from "just arsenal blog" so yeah.
He has been linked with Tottenham for a few days but it does not look like it will happen as of right now

That’s what I saw
Nic Pepe joins Villarreal. Wonder how that Yeremy Pino is getting on. We were heavily linked a few seasons back

Quite liking the idea to be honest
lorddulaarsenal True but not exactly a willy shaker, so let's hope that tingle in the collective jockstrap is a frisson of anticipation, and not just the onset of the clap.

Guardian maybe giving us the kiss of death by writing us in as league winners here … expectations are high.
Accelerated FC. Nah, weak link, but there is nothing there. Did not expect this at the beginning of the summer. Maybe we are fucked from spending so much last few years
"Arsenal could be back in the race" back? When were we in, and then out?
If Liverpool get Zubimendi I'm going to be very annoyed.
Qwiss Agreed
