🚨 Riccardo Calafiori has set NEW Records at Arsenal’s Sobha Realty Training Centre.

✅ Aerobic lung capacity
✅ 40 metre sprint

He has also tied Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba’s leg press and chess press at the maximum setting. 🤝

A midfield 3 of Rice, Ode and Bruno, with Merino rotating through would do absolutely awful things physically to the rest of the league. We would run midfields into the ground and press into oblivion.

And Partey has to go. Absolutely zero faith he doesn't get injured, and the fact he looks spent in preseason is a really bad sign.

 

Partey’s injury record is there for all to see, so other teams probably have zero faith he wouldn’t get injured, greatly reducing the market for him. So unless Arsenal revert to the policy of buying players out of the last year of their contract, we’re probably stuck with him.

 

🔴⚪️ Understand Arsenal want at least €35m plus sell-on clause for Eddie Nketiah.

That's why Arsenal decided to reject €27m proposal from Olympique Marseille, as revealed on Friday.

ℹ️ Fin du dossier Nketiah 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ❌

▫️L’OM abandonne le dossier Eddie Nketiah.

▫️Par ailleurs, l’OM n’a pas formulé d’offre au montant de 27M€, le club ne voulait pas surenchérir à des montants excessivement élevés.

Last one claims the €27m euro offer never happened

 

Jitters, why are Dortmund letting Moukoko go? Wasn’t he their next big thing?

 

🚨

Arsenal are really confident in closing Merino deal in next few days. Agreement close with Sociedad in a 30m euro package. Talks going on about structure of deal. Player has stopped talking to Spanish clubs as he wants Arsenal

Merino is cheap enough that with Eddie and esr outgoing we can still buy another couple of class players

 

The Marseille move for Eddie appears to have collapsed, so assuming Merino joins, counting Tierney, Arsenal have 25 senior players. They will have to move players out to make room for new recruits. The snails pace of Arsenal’s incoming. business may be, at least in part, the result of wanting to insure they can move players on before committing to new transfers. One out before one In.

 

That’s what James/gunnerblog has been saying for a week or so.

 

What’s with that NUFC badge. Something new? Or retro? Either way it’s pretty awful.

ps. I’m happy for him to stay there

 

I prefer we keep the number of punchable on the roster to a minimum so I'm glad he's not coming here.

 

Gallas had done nothing compared to Bruno’s war crimes

 

So happy we never signed Suarez.

 

Oh I don't think he was coming here, and as others have said I am glad he isn't because he is a prick, but theres no doubt that IF we ever had a midfield of Ode, Rice and Bruno it would be insane with the physicality, pressing and technique.

 

There's been some smoke recently about Arsenal switching gears from Gyokeres to Julian Alvarez due to him not being happy with his playing time at City. Does anyone think there's anything to this? Alvarez would be a great signing as he's premier league proven,can play across the top 4 positions and would seamlessly fit into Arteta's system. I think it's more likely just smoke as I'm not sure he gets any more minutes with us than at City.

 

I assume its agent talk, haven't seen any credible reports of us being in for Alvarez. I would take him, but I am not sure if he would come to us. I seriously doubt City sell him to us. But he would improve our squad.

His issue at City isn't getting minutes, he gets those, he wants to leave because Haaland starts all the big games not him.

 

I would take him over osihmen or another massive money player. He works in our system and is a good player but not for anything more than 50

 

City saw how important it was to our development when they sold us Zinny and Jesus I can't see them making that stupid a mistake again.
