JazzG "Health permitting"? Does that indicate that BBB is onto him and that his days may be numbered?

Get him in

Is hand of Arsenal flobaba?!?

Only ITK I trust now

Burnwinter

As far as I've noticed HandöfArsenal has broken every single scrap of transfer news that has actually mattered this summer?

Almost feels like the self-contradictory entropic heat death of the concept of certain people being "in the know" and "leaking" information that isn't supposed to be public. This bloke seems more or less to be an Arsenal public relations employee.

I would've liked to have gotten eze done first, and left madueke (or literally anyone else) as an opportunistic punt later in the window. there wasn't exactly a clamour to sign him, and we probably could've gotten even more favourable terms

The urgency to sign Madueke made no sense at all.

We have no idea really. It does tend to be the case there's a sane reason why our deals happen quickly or drag on. Madueke is reclassified as homegrown, willing to come as backup and reported to be on sane wages ... probably we viewed him as a bargain.

it made sense to the decision makers.

But why would Palace be ok with us paying less? I don't get it

I think everyone has to realize that the club's hierarchy (Arteta and Berta) have a much different opinion of Madueke than the majority of this board. Not saying they are right or wrong but they viewed him as a much higher priority than any of us probably do and only time will tell if they are right or not. Personally, I am going to withhold judgment until I see him get a serious sample size of playing time on the carpet. I'm also confident we will get Eze in - there's just too much noise behind the scenes from both the player's camp and our ITKs. I absolutely love the player so I hope my optimism is well placed.

Just looking at his profile the player who is most similar might be Raphinha, and Arteta was obsessed with trying to sign him when he was at Leeds. I think it might be that easy: he saw someone with similar attributes, heard that Chelsea might get rid since they've signed a lot of players this summer, and went "Not again, he's mine!"

Based on how we've been doing business I think it's likely, as we've cast our "the player only wants Arsenal" spell.

This doesn't look very promising for the Eze search: https://sportwitness.co.uk/i-was-promised-glasner-tells-austrian-media-about-serious-crystal-palace-transfer-concerns/

I suspect we're actually just waiting for Palace to secure some numbers first.

Anyone who has watched Arsenal at all over the last two seasons know LW is key but the people who matter and make the decisions don't seem to agree.

Klaus

TambourineMan I think we have to give them the benefit of a doubt right now and see what happens, considering the excellent window we've had so far. My feeling is that Eze is gonna get done because we want him and Palace have to sell him.

We've probably told him to be patient because we need to ship some fringe players first. If the buying clubs know that we have too many players to register we're not going to get anything for the spares. Think we're ideally looking to move on Jesus and Trossard from the forward line, but we might be open to good offers for Martinelli too. Personally I hope we're keeping him though.
