Qwiss that Rice fee is still obscene.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Rice is making it feel like a big fee right now. last year when we were chasing the title it seemed fine.
But right now when we are dealing with all these injuries, I expect the 100 million pound man to get his Stevie G on

Claudius Tavares might fetch us a record fee. Lazio president say they will pay 40m for him or something.

He is by far the best LB in serie a this season

Clrnc At this rate we might bloody need to bring him back!!! Bunch of sick note left backs we have.

He has the ability, but lacks the consistency/confidence. He has the ability to collect the ball and drive past players before forcing a shot or a pass, but he just doesn't do it enough. Although, there's a balance to be struck and perhaps might start overturning possession a lot more if he were to increase the frequency.

Nothing about money it seems

Clrnc yeah. It seems he wants to move away from being a DoF to being the CEO / administrator. It’s a good step for him based on what you hear about his various skills and his personality. He’s learned in different places, so he brings a nice rounded perspective to the role. The only viable counter Arsenal could’ve made would’ve been to give him the same role.

Clrnc according to the Daily Mail, who are probably just feeding off strategic leaks from Arsenal. Need to look like you're willing to pay retention of you're going recruiting.

Coombs Sami was the first scoop to leak this when no one else even knew about Edu is leaving.

I don't think he is fed by the club.

Gyökeres making everyone look like fucking morons, though.

Qwiss Huge amount of quality here, by and large.

I had it right: primarily a career move for Edu and nothing much to do with internal conflict at Arsenal. Made sense to me because that's how Edu got to Arsenal as well.

Must admit I ain’t bovved by this

lorddulaarsenal nor am I really. The only concern is the timing given we're getting close to January and likely already working on summer transfer plans. The groundwork for both is hopefully already laid but wouldn't want Edu leaving at this point in the season ideally given it risks undermining those deals.

Claudius looks like a bit of a wet ham - is he any good?

He looks like a lovechild of Sven Mislintat and Arne Slot.
