  1. Merino (when healthy) will be a really good addition. I think it was underestimated just how much Martinelli thrived by playing infront of an experienced left 8 (Xhaka); adding an experienced pro should help him. Calafiori is what we needed: a left back who’s solid defensively and has ball skills and can play across the defense (Tomi’s injury looks worse than initially thought, since Arteta gave no timeline). Offloading ESR and Eddie for £60m of pure PSR profit and loaning off Fabio was good business, especially since they were out of favor with Arteta. The Ramsdale saga was a debacle; we could’ve sold him last summer for £50m, had Arteta brought in Raya early. Instead, we sold for less than we bought him for. Replacing three attaching players with no one, though…. Arteta must be banking on the he fact that we have Mr Miyagi as a trainer to do that hand clap trick every week, because we’re one more injury to an attacking player from being turbo fucked Overall window grade: C+. With you it’ll rise to a B+ if we somehow (unlikely) add a winger.
  2. Maybe Timber or Penne Blanco can play winger?
  3. We’re dangerously thin upfront. Trossard/Gabi and Jesus (when healthy) are the only difference-makers. Not enough, especially with two extra CL group matches and a possible two-legged play-in for the round of 16.
  4. Hope I’m wrong, but fractured bones usually take the number of weeks that add up to months.
  5. Nice. Better to save that €30m for an attacking player.
  6. Maybe we should’ve, I don’t know, not sold Ramsdale without a deal in place? Everyone knows we need a keeper, so the price is going to double on anybody. FFS indeed
  7. Could’ve been worse. No one we can’t beat on our day; no one we can’t drop points to, either. COYG
  8. Make that happen; Comen would COOK in our system. We desperately need to add attackers before the window closes. Currently, our attacking depth is perma-injured Jesus, Trossard, and…. Nelson. That ain’t going to win the League or anything else.
  9. €30m (£25m) for a #2 keeper? Damn Arteta likes buying GKs
  10. Or, there’s always this…
  11. So that means we’ll possibly have four matches in seven days, three of which are very high leverage: • ⁠Shit (A) September 15 • ⁠Bolton (H) September 17 • ⁠??? UCL (presumably) September 19 • ⁠City (A) September 22 Damn. And we seriously need some attacking reinforcement.
  12. Obligatory:
  13. 1000000000%.
  14. We’ve taken an Italian out of Italy and a Spaniard out of Spain. Beat Juve and Barça & Atléti, respectively, go the players. Arteta and Edu are cookin.
  15. Three big points. I remember thinking we should pull Thomas for Jorginho to see out the final 15’ then Thomas does that. COYG!!!!
  16. First to celebrate with him? Iwobi - another Hale Ender. The Smith is going to score < 10 this year, and I’m here for it.
  17. Front line looks thin; we need another attacking player before the window closes, especially with Eddie and Fabio leaving.
  18. Didn't see us letting Fabio leave, but what a massive vote of confidence in Nwaneri.
  19. Let’s Fucking Go.
  20. Why do I feel like someone’s cutting onions while I watched that trailer?
