Qwiss No value running those contracts down and none should be renewed. Tomi may prove unsellable with his fitness

Wouldn't be surprised if Zinny and Trossard ran their own contracts down. They both have a year to go as I understand it. Tross has been rejecting our offers in talks, I presume he reasons he'll have enough juice left to attract interest when he's available on a free.

MistaT you think Dules can outrun father time??!!

So long as he keeps lean

        Burnwinter If they do they do. Can't blame them but we need to make it somewhat attractive for them to leave, not much point in trying to drive a hard bargain with those guys. I wouldn't mind Tross as a 4th choice winger, 3rd choice striker for one more year if he wants to run down his deal though. As long as we don't extend him.

          Burnwinter lean I can do.

          Staying awake beyond 9pm these days naaah

          Me refractory period has increased by an extra minute or two. Nearly a 50% increase yikes. Pop Time shows no mercy no nobody

              Saliba, Gabriel and Saka. You don't sell one of the best in the world to get another one of the best in the world in another position. You just weaken yourself on an area where you are one of the best to strengthen another. If you want to get a top striker you get him and keep the most important players. You don't sell one of your only world class players to do so.

              Burnwinter 45 is a bastard, I've gotten reading glasses and gotten twice as gray in the past couple of years

              I feel you man. Got quite a few new greys popping up as well as feeling my eyesight get worse over the past year and I just turned 38. I'm in denial and avoiding wearing my prescription glasses for now.

                  Big Willie Comes at you pretty fast eh? I'm not doing appallingly badly, but the eyesight thing is a bit annoying. Means I'm wearing glasses 80% of the time since I work with software. Also need to shave the beard, but that's been necessary for a little while, just working round to it.

                    Eketike had another good game against Stuttgart yesterday. He really should be ahead of Sesko in the reckoning for us.

                    USArsenal can't believe I'm only just over two years away from this milestone - I still feel like I'm 27. But I think it's a curse and a gift that most men feel like this, sure I've said before but I'll never forget my Grandad telling me and Jo he couldn't wait to see what happened when he grew up. He was about 85 at the time. 🤣

                        RocktheCasbah "Growing up", at least where one's had the luck not to be run into the ground by a hard life, seems a one-two punch. The jab is the realisation you're never going to grow up, but the cross is still gradually getting bored by your own nonsense.

                            Burnwinter might be ahead of the game on that one, Jo helped me see the light when I was about - oooh look, 27... 😃

                            She used to play this to me quite a lot back then.

                              Him, Sesko, Ekitike and Delap offer cheaper alternatives to Isak.

                              Any of them would improve us.

                              Not interested in Gyokeres. Overvalued (even by today's standards), one dimensional and with limited scope for improvement.

                              Hope this is a case of 'assessing our options'...
