August 17, 20214 yr right now there's a battle going on between Arsenal ITK's- one says it's Odegaard, the other says it's Maddison. if I know Arsenal, it's going to be Ramsdale instead of either one. we'll probably then overpay for Auoar in January when we're 13th in the table.

August 17, 20214 yr hell, if Arsene had that kind of money then Cristiano never even joins Man U. i'm not sure that most people realize that CR7 to Arsenal was a *done deal* until Fergie was able to swoop in and offer a much bigger fee, bigger bonuses, and 3x wages as Arsenal. and don't even get me started on losing RvP to Man U, or the Luis Suarez saga, or the summer window where our only signing was an aging Petr Cech, or...

August 17, 20214 yr 34 minutes ago, Cheeseweasel said: One. 2008-2009 should have a big asterisk by it. Agreed. As should Spain's World Cup 2010 win when Iniesta dove twice in extra time and the ref handed a guy a Dutch guy a yellow and then a second yellow so Spain was playing a man up when Iniesta should have been carded at least once for simulation... if not twice. Remind me sometime to tell you about Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" goal vs England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal... You're not going to believe it!

Fabrizio Romano has claimed victory and AFC Bell has admitted defeat. Odegaard to Arsenal is soon to be a done deal. or so they say. i'll believe it when Odegaard shows up to training and then injures himself. Edited August 18, 20214 yr by shadow_operative
August 18, 20214 yr I’ve Made fun of Arsenal plenty this window but if they can get Odegaard for Willock + €8m that is a great deal.
August 18, 20214 yr Chelsea continue to trim their squad, sending "guy who was on the pitch sometimes a few years ago" Kenedy on loan to Flamengo in Brazil Edited August 18, 20214 yr by texifornia
August 18, 20214 yr Sounds like Andreas Pereira (United's version of Kenedy) is also on his way to Flamengo on loan
August 18, 20214 yr Odegaard was clearly the missing piece from last year! Only success from here on.... wait, he was there last year too? Ouch.

Ouch. well, we did have the second most points in the league post-christmas last year. but yeah, we better hope that run of form was for real, because we're basically running it back.
August 18, 20214 yr It's a good signing. Imagine trying to get playing time in a midfield with Kross/Modric/Valverde/Isco/Casemiro

Ramsdale already having to turn off his IG comments, smh.
August 19, 20214 yr Loan for the season. Shocked he didn't go to Italy given how much their national team seems to rate him, but I guess they're all broke:

August 20, 20214 yr Interesting. Wolves fans had seemed really high on him. Should get a lot more playing time, though.
August 20, 20214 yr Imagine showing up to your new team and being asked to go in a dark room and take your shirt off so they could film you.

August 20, 20214 yr No video? Dude had a thousand highlight-reel saves behind that SUFC defense last year.

Strange situation, at least from an outsider's perspective. Really thought he was gonna come on and be a great player for y'all. I originally chalked it up as just a guy who couldn't stay fit but seems like it's more than that, given that he's now had three managers (well, two + Ryan Mason) at Tottenham that he can't get a game for.

He struggled for a while with the fitness requirements to play every week in the EPL. That lead to a lot of small injuries. He's closest to Aurier and Sissoko who are also possibly leaving.

Well the one guy ahead of him has won fewer domestic leagues, fewer top domestic cups, and the same number of champions leagues. So maybe not every manager.
