June 3, 20223 yr God damn i cannot wait for this Amazon doc to come out. Also, i think that looking back we'll all probably agree that A)last year went better than any of us thought it would, especially after starting 0-0-3, and B)that it's probably for the best that we aren't in the CL. i know that's hard to say, but i don't think we are there yet as a team, and i think we may be better off letting our young team/new players cut their teeth in the Europa League before hopefully ascending to the CL the for following season. to do: -sign Jesus -sign Tielemans (or someone else in his role) -sign Hickey -integrate Saliba -stay healthy if we do that, there's every reason to believe that we'll be back in Europe's top flight next year.

June 4, 20223 yr Author 59 minutes ago, Ted Lange said: Seriously. as great as KT can be. He’s an absolute waste. Move on. if he had Nacho Montreal's injury record he would end up in the EPL XI for 5 of the next 10 years, if not more. such an immense talent, and so perfect for Arteta's system, but like so many other Arsenal talents, the guy simply cannot stay healthy. btw, to this day i still feel the worst for Jack. unlike so many others, Jack didn't suffer repeated, non-contact, soft tissue injuries. he kept getting his legs and ankles broken by talentless cunts playing recklessly, mostly by guys who never should have played in the EPL to begin with. Jack seriously could have/should have been England's captain/most influential player over the last 8+ years. such a shame. all i can do now is keep telling myself that the law of averages says that we're going to be healthy as fuck one of these days. please god let it be this year.
June 4, 20223 yr Seriously. as great as KT can be. He’s an absolute waste. Move on. Tierney posted a while back that he’s trying to get back ahead of schedule. Maybe that’s the problem you dunce. Complete your doctor designed rehab and stop trying to train at 100% when your body is at 90%.
June 16, 20223 yr Player of the tourney @ the U21 Euros and coming off a solid season w/ Porto. Good pickup. Here’s hoping his Arsenal career takes a trajectory similar to another player with the surname Vieira. Edited June 16, 20223 yr by Dutch
June 17, 20223 yr Author he looks very, very good. getting Santi vibes with the way he handles the ball and with those touch passes and perfect little lobs. if he can adapt to the league he's going to be great.
June 17, 20223 yr Author as of now, we could be looking at: with a bench that includes ESR, Xhaka, Nketiah, Saliba, El Neny, Lokonga, Cedric, Balogun, and Nuno plus, the following guys will all either be on our bench, or sold to free up funds for guys like Tielemans: Leno, Holding, Pepé, Bellerin, Mari, Guendouzi, Toreira, AMN, Nelson our club is in so much better shape than it was before Arteta it's not even funny.
June 20, 20223 yr Author all of sudden everyone is saying that Raphina to Arsenal is "near". i guess we're finna find out.
June 22, 20223 yr Raphina's a nice player for sure, and more talent in the squad better than less, obv, but IMHO we need to get Gabriel Jesus done and then another high-level CM/DM or two. We have to assume Partey is going to miss at least a third of the season until proven other wise, and we cannot go into the season without midfield reinforcement. Especially with Thursday-Sunday EL schedule. Sambi will be a high-level player, but he's not ready now. Now, if Kroenke is willing to pony up for all four? Yes please and thank you very much. I'd also like to see us upgrade LB. Nuno is inconsistent and Tierney is only good for ~ 60% of the season.
June 22, 20223 yr Just visited Emirates. I kinda like that blacking out Lil Brown’s face makes her look like her limbs are backwards.

Lisandro Martínez would be the ideal signing, as he can play CB, LB, and even in front of the CB's. there are rumors that if we do sign Martínez then we could loan out Nuno to OM, which i think would great in all facets.
June 24, 20223 yr IF, and its a big IF, we can land all of Gabriel Jesus, Martínez, Tielemans (or another high level MF), and Raphinha.... that's a side I feel confident can finish top 4.
June 25, 20223 yr Author Romano has been on the money with everything so far, and according to him we are indeed the favorites to land martínez, and we've progress with leeds to the point where it looks like the deal will get done but that it will still take some timme because of leeds' asking price.
June 25, 20223 yr Author potential squad depth: would be our strongest squad since 2014-15, pre-Santi injury. Edited June 25, 20223 yr by shadow_operative
June 27, 20223 yr Here's hoping Kroenke is so drunk/hungover after winning Lord Stanley's Cup he sanctions all the spending Edu and Arteta need.
July 6, 20223 yr Author i don't know how much you guys have been reading , but it sounds like Thomas Partey has been arrested for rape, and obviously will not be with the team any time soon. media is being cryptic (as they have to), but all signs point to Partey.

July 6, 20223 yr Yeah all signs point to him. British 5-0 keeping a lid on the leaks; TMZ would have the player's ID had this been in the USA. If Partey (or any Arsenal player) did it, they should never represent the club again.

If Partey (or any Arsenal player) did it, they should never represent the club again. rape is such a violent thing, and Partey has always seemed like such a gentle guy. like if joey barton or mark noble turned out to be a rapist you'd go, "yeah that checks out." i know that people can be very good at hiding their dark side, but if you'd told me that an Arsenal player was a rapist and had me guess who it was, Thomas Partey might literally be the last guy i named. such a shock all around, but especially to find out that it's him who's (supposedly) been arrested.
July 8, 20223 yr Just popping in to say I'll take the All please and thank you. Derka you can keep the Nothing.

July 13, 20223 yr Author bitches be crazy. this is the same chick who just recently got him to convert to islam. she sounds pretty radical, and i don't mean that in no nice way.
July 14, 20223 yr I’m ok with this. Can also play CM. Now just waiting for Chelsea and Utd to bid for him.
July 18, 20223 yr Nice. Shaping up as a very good window. Edu barbecues us up another quality CM/DM… and it’s a great window.
