June 30, 20214 yr Saka- 19 Martinelli- 19 Saliba- 19 Smith-Rowe- 20 Nelson- 20 Nketiah- 21 Willock- 21 Gabriel- 22 AMN- 23 Pepe- 25 Holding- 25 Chambers- 25 Bellerin- 25 The club has a plan in place, and for once, it actually seems that selling players for a profit/bringing in multiple starting caliber players will actually be a priority. Everyone listed above will either be a part of our first team plans, or actually sold while they still have value to help bring in reinforcements. Despite how shitty last season's results were, i actually like where we're headed, and look forward to watching our team grow and jell this year. and, it appears that our first new player will be joining the club imminently: COYG. 🔴⚪️ Edited June 30, 20214 yr by shadow_operative
June 30, 20214 yr Not to mention Kieran Tierney - 24. Thread title is apropos. We have to hope getting out of the "Thursday - Sunday EL grind" will help boost league results. Edited June 30, 20214 yr by Dutch
June 30, 20214 yr Also, Locatelli? Yes, please. http://www.thehardtackle.com/news/2021/06/29/transfer-news-arsenal-make-approach-for-manuel-locatelli/

June 30, 20214 yr Author Nuno, Locatelli, Lokonga, and Ben White would be a pretty damn good window. Let's hope that there some fire beyond this smoke.

An Italian turning down Juve and CL football was always a stretch. Looks like Sassuolo was using us as leverage to get more out of Agnelli. Edited June 30, 20214 yr by Dutch
June 30, 20214 yr Checking in for the disappointment, might as well fire it up paying attention to our cheapskate owners in a transfer window.
July 1, 20214 yr Checking in for the disappointment, might as well fire it up paying attention to our cheapskate owners in a transfer window.Yeah, I quit paying attention until they are signed. 99% of done deals for Arsenal have fallen through this last decade.
July 1, 20214 yr Yeah, that won't go down as our best bit of transfer business. Pepe is a turning into a nice player, but a ~ 30m player.

July 6, 20214 yr 15 minutes ago, The Maestro said: More importantly, what are we going to do without stupid reds or pk giveaways? Well we just gotta figure out how to keep Bellerin and Xhaka from going to Italy
July 7, 20214 yr Author Romano saying "here we go" is confirmation these days, which makes "here we go soon" as close to a done deal as it gets.
July 9, 20214 yr https://www.espn.com/soccer/arsenal-engarsenal/story/4429814/all-or-nothing-arsenal-to-star-in-amazon-documentary
July 13, 20214 yr Author also, Nketiah blew a 1 v 1 with their keeper, and Pepé took a shit penalty which was saved. ugly-ass match from the looks of it. Edited July 13, 20214 yr by shadow_operative
July 13, 20214 yr nketiah needs to be loaned somewhere and get a bunch of minutes. I don’t he is that great but he needs to be starting somewhere so we can find out.
July 13, 20214 yr Author well apparently crystal palace wants to sign him. anything over €10M i say do it.
July 17, 20214 yr I can think of lots of better ways to spend 50m. It ain’t my money so I don’t really care, unless that limits whom else Arsenal can sign, which it almost surely does.
July 17, 20214 yr Quote Arsenal to sign Brighton's Ben White in £50m deal https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57873034
July 17, 20214 yr Author the youth movement is exciting and all, but at some point we need to add an established player or two.
July 17, 20214 yr Just now, shadow_operative said: the youth movement is exciting and all, but at some point we need to add an established player or two. Knowing us we will bring in somebody like Diego Costa hoping he can regain that early-mid teens Athletico/Chelsea magic one last time.

July 17, 20214 yr Author 6 hours ago, Dutch said: Apparently more signings inbound as well. i think he's referring to Lokonga and White. as far as White goes, from what i've read about him he's ver good on the ball and can play both CB and CM. that tracks, because that's what Arteta's style is all about- having players who are good on the ball, shot can advance it forward, who can win 1v1's etc, all over the pitch. if he becomes a high class, starting XI mainstay for the next 7-8 years then he'll be a steal. hopefully that's the case. if he and Partey can pan out then that will be a lot of size and skill in the middle-back of the pitch for us.
July 21, 20214 yr James Maddison, too? Not sure Leicester would sell, but he's a nice player. https://www.espn.com/soccer/blog-transfer-talk/story/4435581/live-transfer-talk-arsenal-plotting-swoop-for-leicesters-james-maddison
July 22, 20214 yr Author i'd love to have him, he's the exact type of MF we need to sign. he's a very good player and could be a difference maker for us.
