Clrnc I think there is even questions about is it working well because I don't think the transfer strategy so far has been balanced correctly and is why we struggle in many of the same areas. Also the Arsene being all powerful was a big contribution to our awful second period of his tenure.

    Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

    No more challenging and winning nothing.

    We have to win something this season even if it’s the fa cup or even Carabo. We can’t be arrogant to turn down our noses on any trophy given our situation.

        Calafori €45.00m

        Merino €32.00m

          this is actually a really good haul. even the expensive guys who have had issues were used a lot when they first arrived. some of the gambles didn't quite work out like Tavares, Vieira, etc., but that shoudl be expected wen you are buying young players.
          if anything potentially the biggest are these free transfers / loans, lol, like Soares, Willian and maybe Sterling

            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

                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.

                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.

                          Clrnc so is Edu his source? Either way, this makes everyone look good, so of course it's the story.

                            Gyökeres making everyone look like fucking morons, though.

                            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.
