This blog has been inactive for 34 days because the author was last seen running around the neighbourhood screaming, “IT’S FINALLY HAPPENED.” He has now been safely returned to his keyboard. Normal Arsenal-induced emotional instability will resume immediately.
Berta is super active. Trossard is most likely leaving to Besiktas, and we are fetching 17m for him. A good business overall, he has been a fantastic servant and helped us to win a title after so long. We have also been interested in Bruno Guimaraes, I hate that cunt and frankly, I would have been happier if we have gone for an attacking midfielder instead of a DM. But, Declan Rice need the luxury of rest and with the amount of games he has played / playing, we need someone to rotate with him. We will be playing for 4 different trophies again, so yeah that would help a bit.
If rumours are to be believed, we are also trying to bring Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa. They are demanding 130m for him, which is bonkers and I would have laughed for a good 12 minutes before leaving their office had they said that to me. I don’t watch Villa ever since that cunt Emi Martinez started shitting about us, so I have not much idea about him but hey, if someone values him at 100m+, he must be good enough.
We are also trying to rob Villa for Ezri Konsa. Ben White days are numbered in Arsenal shirt and we need a RB who should be able to rotate with Timber without a drop in quality. I won’t mind him, Villa are asking for 60m I think, we paid 50m, 5 years ago for Ben White, so this one’s look the most probable out of all transfer targets we are pursuing.
We are the league winners. We already have a team that won the title. We can go again with the same 24 players and we will still challenge for it this season. However, we surely can use some of that prize money to improve and there are a lot of places we do need improvement.
Midfield has always been a worry to me. Is asking for a CF too much? A left winger after Trossard leaves, and he must be at least better than Martinelli? A right back of course, Ben White looked nervous whatever amount of games he got. There are a lot of things we can improve, and we must. I don’t care of KSE goes bankrupt in doing so.
Right, that’s all for today. I am still rusty but it will improve. I would love to hear what you think about the rumours, what your expectations are and which places we should (and must) improve on.
See you in the comments.
This really is a fucked up World Cup.
Of the matches I’ve seen Spain have looked like an Arteta team on a dull day, France have looked electric.
Tonight Spain have looked really on it and France have looked like 11 players who have never played together before.
Absolute shut -eye time now but FiFa and its game management has reduced football to a sly tripping contest. Guess it is in keeping with Spanish speaking genes or genius in dark arts instead of pure skill on the ball.
What is worse , is both Spain yesterday and Argentina today seemed to know they had the latitude and went on brazen soft fouls.
Gordon got in the cross.
1-0

English football has a reputation for being hard as nail . Messi looking subdued , no wonder he consciously avoided getting into EPL. Only Romero , Liverpool striker and Martinez look at ease
Pickford in his elements
Two fantastic instinctive saves
Piss poor management by Tuchel – far too defensive.
Can’t see England winning now unless they somehow get to and win a penalty shootout.
England has some outstanding talent and we’ve invited a goal by sitting back and giving them chances.
What’s the point of putting 6 defenders on if you can’t even defend a cross into your 6 yard box?
Only Bellingham read the dander of unmarked Martinez . Spence was at fault not to chase ball he kicked off.
Only at last 3 minutes England played aggressively as normal which had blunted Messi who resorted to diving over the ball to stop play. Dirtiest player
Tuchel went full-Arteta and put too many defenders on the pitch too early, especially against a side who’ve scored 11 goals in the WC after the 75th minute(9 prior to tiday)…have some balls…at least in the Mexico match they only had 10 men so this tactic was somewhat understandable…scared football is for losers
In the second half Gordon should have been replaced early by Saka (on the left). Rice was out of sorts so also needed replacing.
Going all defensive was a huge mistake and invited Messi and Co to take advantage. At 38 Messi can still go past players with ease – a quick drop of his left shoulder and a defender left floundering.
looks as if our first real signing is Christos Tzolis, a 24 year old Greek wide-side player from Brugge…sorry if that doesn’t excite me, even though the current narrative suggests that he’s simply Tross’s replacement and other more significant signings up top will be forthcoming…I’m not going to pretend that I’ve seen enough of this player to make a proper assessment, but of the 5 matches I personally watched he didn’t stand out…like Marts, he seems to thrive with space in front of him and when he’s deployed with overlapping backs, which doesn’t really fit MA’s current script, due to his inverted backer bullshit and glaring lack of countering with pace…of course I hope that he’s a revelation on the pitch and indicative of a pemding change in MA’s tactical approach, but it’s far more likely that he’s another Viktor-like underwhelming square peg signing.
Hearing the cunt has bought some more overpriced shite.
Shades of Mudryk , a flaky player not suited for the league
Cack.
Guarantee it.
Because that was the cunt does .

Looks like our supposed number 1 target is off to Chelsea…I guess if he fails to deliver we can simply overpay for his services in a couple years time…we were probably going after Konsa all along anyways and never had any intention of meeting their valuation on Rpgers…just what we need another defensive signing and I don’t give a flying fuck about all the sky is falling Saliba early days prognostications…cheaper Greek Jupiter League guy over readymade PL-proven rising star…sounds about right…tbh their MV wasn’t justified but we had better not be done with our front side recuritment drive…so far life with Berta looks a lot like life before Berta…maybe he has an inside track on Alvarez, even though he apparently wants nothing to do with Artetaball…I fucking get that
Can someone answer me a simple question: If Saka is / was fit enough to start tonight (and he looks lively) why wasn’t he fit enough to come on for 20 – 30 minutes on Wednesday?
Answers beginning with: because Tuchel’s as bigger cunt as Arteta on a postcard please.
“The Athletic have reported that one of the key factors behind Rogers’ decision to opt for Chelsea is the vision and long-term project that has been presented to the versatile attacker. Another significant draw is new boss Xabi Alonso…It has also been reported that Chelsea have told Rogers they intend to deploy him as a left winger next season, a factor which has further persuaded the World Cup star to make the move to Stamford Bridge”
so basically he thinks they have a better vison, a better manager and a better future…only time will tell if this is the case, as Chelsea has been quite the shit show since their ownership change, but it’s interesting to note what one of the PL’s rising stars thinks about our little project, even after MA ended his cocking-up streak…we had better hope that he’s not Olise 2.0
Hi Vieira
I’m not saying Arsenal is that superior, but anyone who turns them down for Chelsea is fucking nuts. It’s just a question of money.
I rate Rogers, but I think he’s in for a fall signing for the rent boys. He’s just be offered a shit load more cash. He’ll be on loan at QPR for the 28/29 season. Mug.
Rogers is cack.
Absolute cack.
But Chelsea are not worried about signing decent players.
Thats way down their list of priorities.
Follow the cunting money.
