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 ...
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
Is it me or is it slightly concerning the rumours have dried up and we are less than 2 weeks until the new Premier League season?
Sicario2 - Tier 1 We are running a lot tighter operation nowadays, only things leak when we want them to leak.
It does seem like we are prioritising exits before bringing players in. Though when you look at the market not really much happening.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Merino is pretty much done I think. And we might shut up shop then after we can't shift Nelson and Nketiah
Just because rumours have dried up, I don't take that to mean nothing is happening behind the scenes.
Giving Nelson a new contract last summer seems like a mistake in hindsight
Mirth that and Eddie's renewal always felt like short-term planning.
Mirth He was out of contract and would have left for free.
Don Pacifico it would have been lunacy to let Eddie go for free. We've just turned down over £25m for him. That's not value you just let walk.
I still think Nelson can be useful. He just needs to be on top of his game physically to be able to activate Ball Slap mode
