New Arsenal account here.

Calm analysis.
No overreactions.
Just football discussion.

If that’s your vibe, follow.

@WellOnside So that's £150m net spend, probably £200m+ once wages and bonuses are factored in. That's exactly how clubs end up in financial trouble. Go for it.

It’s amazing how people are still stuck on net spend when Wages are of such significance in the whole package

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@sonnysonaldo You got something better 3 years back as well…

When Bissouma was supposedly the "better signing" because he was £80m cheaper than Rice. How's that aged? 😂

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@footballconfid1 Started with Transfer hype.
It’ll be 'Need time to adapt’ by December.
By February, it's ‘We’ll compete next season’

This is the history of Tottenham!!!

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@DxBruyne17 Didn’t even feature in the match 😂

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@DxBruyne17 Belgium are a #10 away from becoming an unstoppable force man

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@panks_79 Imagine celebrating an opposition player's bad game because your own club gives you so little else to celebrate.

Finishing 17th wasn’t a let down..

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

One thing that's flying under the radar is how many key Arsenal players could miss the start of the season.

Timber, Saliba, Rice, Ødegaard, Saka...

Hopefully we can manage the initial fixtures before these guys are re-integrated.

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@ThatAnfieldBuzz So called best CB Premier league has ever seen went out in Round of 32…
Below mediocre at best😂

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

I can see Arsenal’s waiting game !!

If you’re spending 100mil or more, This is the kind you spend it on 🙏🏻

[Madrid Zone @theMadridZone]

🚨💣 BREAKING: Real Madrid want a QUICK RESOLUTION to the Vini Jr contract renewal issue: EITHER IN OR OUT!

It's a FINANCIAL question.

Real Madrid do NOT want to risk him leaving for free in 2027. @FabrizioRomano

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

Leandro Trossard has been one of Arsenal's best signings in recent years.

He had his rough patches, but he was always available and always seemed to deliver in the biggest moments.

He'll be difficult to replace, but this feels like the right time.

Thank you for the memories, Champion. ❤️🏆

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@The_ArsenalFan1 Liverpool showed the same intent last year, Look where they are…

It’s not about out-spending everyone.. It’s about signing the right profiles for the team.

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@haydenk60711402 @lukestanley03 I don’t 😂
Premier league is there to do that job and they clearly thought it had enough evidence to bring 100+ charges though.

I'll wait for the verdict rather than pretending they appeared out of thin air.

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

A flat salary cap as in american sports..

You might as well start calling it Soccer instead of Football!

A flat cap works in the NFL because every team plays in the same league forever.

Salary caps make sense in American sports because they're franchises in a closed league with drafts, revenue sharing and no relegation.

Football has promotion, relegation, multiple leagues and a global transfer market. Copying one rule without the rest of the system doesn't work.

Didn’t we all kick out the super league concept for the exact same reason !

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@rjaltmann1 @spurscc @avfc_stef Curious to know!

So if Newcastle's owners decide to "match" Real Madrid, then City match Newcastle, then Chelsea match City...

Where exactly does "matching" stop and "buying the league" begin?

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@rjaltmann1 @spurscc @avfc_stef So your solution is to replace revenue with billionaire wealth?

That's not removing an anti-competitive system—it's creating one.

The richest owner wins. Every time.

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@hugoknowsbaII PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

@AObariase12770 @SirLeoBDasilva He is as slow as Mbappe BTW

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

What if the same owner decides he is not interested anymore and leaves the club in limbo…

Hasn’t this happened with many historical clubs…

Shouldn’t as a fan your priority be to organically grow the club and reach new heights then to be a buy and sell program for a billionaire BUSINESSMAN

[AFCGooner @AFCGonnerIndia]

Believe me everyone wants to see real competition but fair competition.

If “real competition" means "let my billionaire owner spend whatever he wants."

That's not competition. That's financial doping with better PR.

Why would I be happy about restricting, when the club I support were restricted to spend for 10+ years. 😂
