Going to pin this because it's a quote I live by

Proud of you @DjedSpence

- Bruno G has directly told Eddie Howe he wants to join the English Champions
- Kia still doing all the communication between the clubs
- Arsenal internally discussing another offer
- Bruno G preferably wants it sorted before pre-season either way but wont do a Isak.

🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal prepare new official bid for Bruno Guimarães: Arteta wants him. 🇧🇷

£55m already rejected, second approach at £65m package rejected too — fee in between £65m and £90m could accelerate talks.

Bruno told Newcastle last week that he wants #AFC move but won’t create issues, leaving decision in club hands.

🚨 EXCL: Bruno Guimaraes informs Newcastle United of wish to leave & join Arsenal. #AFC stepping up pursuit - ready to offer deal worth up to £60m at present but no club-to-club contact yet + #NUFC stance still not entertaining bids for 28yo @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/6W3cpcqKKh

Important to ensure discussions are not labelled as crash outs. I dont have the privilege of recording a video so Im just going to explain my fair and honest thoughts thus far.

Fans are not angry at Monga going to City its more so the laid back approach of trying to outsmart a market where money talks.

Losing out on a talent who badly wanted Arsenal over £3/4 million is not being “disciplined”its just dithering and stubbornness. He would have gone on loan, a club would have covered his wages and you could have flipped for profit but Andrea took too long and City should have never even had a chance. Its just the truth.

Not paying ungodly amounts to Tonali’s agents is fair and the same can be said about his wages and £100m fee. I find it hard to believe fans would have been angry at signing Fernandes for £85m if that who YOU really want. The market has shifted and we need adapt. Lowballing Newcastle for a midfielder who improves us massively is just a piss take. Make a serious offer and get it done if HE is the ONE. That is what fans are saying.

Villa have told us £130m for Morgan. If YOU believe that is way too much, make a FAIR offer and lets see how they react. Barcola is not any cheaper so just make your mind up.

Rice, Saliba, Timber and Saka are struggling and we need to ensure they are taken care of while having adequate cover to begin our title defence.

Mikel always calls for fair critique and as a fan its fair to express concerns. I personally dont need transfer dopamine but im just asking to move correct and that is based on information I have. Im sure the club will make moves, lets get a move on.

We are Premier League Champions, move like it.

@A1ZH4RY_2 2027* not 2026.

[H.Lutfi🇵🇸 ☆ @AFCLutfi]

@A1ZH4RY_2 He's stronger because he has more of a desire & appreciation of defending but frenkie has a larger frame and has the fundamentals to be a incredible dueler with the length and size of his legs but that's just not his nature. Incredible footballer, one of my all time favs 2 watch

[H.Lutfi🇵🇸 ☆ @AFCLutfi]

@EBL2017 Think Mosquera is more of a Gabriel Alternative in profile than Saliba. Arsenal don't have a Saliba Esque CCB replacement/backup. Your VVD, maguire, Dias, Huljsen, guehi types. Been a cause of concern for years now as Saliba is basically a single point of failure in this team.

[H.Lutfi🇵🇸 ☆ @AFCLutfi]

@A1ZH4RY_2 Not got the same level of PNP or Size but he is basically a smaller and less powerful frenkie yh.

🚨 EXC: Arsenal set to make second approach to Newcastle for Bruno Guimaraes

💰 Proposal being readied but NUFC stance is NOT for sale

[H.Lutfi🇵🇸 ☆ @AFCLutfi]

@EBL2017 No, read the article. He means One. We want one Midfielder and we have held taks with Bruno and tonali (In the bid to get ONE Midfielder) whilst also having serious interest in Scott, Bouaddi and some others

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

As far as I am aware this is what has been going on. Arsenal were interested in Fernandes / Tonali / Pablo Barrios (exclusive). When Tonali was offered to us at the end of January, it peaked everyone's interest at the club. Berta kept in contact as did City. It became clear the deal was not feasible due to Newcastle wanting £85m or even more. To further add, the agent fees are incroyable. Barrios was not available for several reasons. Fernandes is heavily involved with Jorge Mendes and it became quickly apparent that there would be a bidding war at a minimum of £85m. It has now even been stated, 'whoever pays the most can have him'.

Berta then made contact multiple times to explore the situation of Alex Scott, the interest is real and there was a feeling a potential bargain could be secured around £65m. Bournemouth began to panic while Alex Scott was out in the USA with the England pre camp and want to rush to secure a renewal for Scott with a possible release clause. Their stance currently is he is not for sale at any price.

Is it becoming apparent we have approximated budget for the midfielder? (Investing in other areas)

As for Bruno G let me clarify… Berta made contact with his camp via Kia. A loose offer below £60m was floated to Newcastle via these middle men to understand their appetite for any deal. Newcastle say he is not for sale. Kia being involved is something you must keep an eye on for reasons every Arsenal fan should be aware of. When an offer is serious, it is officially submitted to the club hence me saying Newcastle have had no contact yet from Arsenal as of 9am. Newcastle will not lose both of their midfielders, so maybe Berta tried a cheeky offer before the Tonali deal has gone through. Until a serious offer is presented or our budget changes, we wait.

Arsenal have contacted the likes of Bouaddi / Kone and others I don’t want to discuss yet but no one else is providing these step by step updates and its incredibly exhausting. Personally think Bouaddi or Bruno would be incredible.

Atleti interested in some of our other players, forgot to add but yeah lets see.

Julian Alvarez Update

If you remember, I stated there was another attacker I chose to keep anonymous. That player was indeed Julian Alvarez. The reason I said it was sensitive was because one of our players (Gyökeres) was potentially involved but let me just provide the facts for Arsenal fans. To my understanding the following statements are 100% factual.

• The players dream is Barca (personal terms agreed already)
• Barca have always wanted Julian to go public with his desire to force Atleti's position
• Atleti are adamant they will not to sell to Barca and would rather sell abroad but it wont stop Barca from trying
• PSG to my understanding left the race due to Campos / Enrique not wanting a player who doesn’t absolutely prioritise them but I wont be shocked if they return due to the players quality
• Julian has been a target for Arsenal since last summer
• After our group stage game Arteta made it clear we must atleast be in the race for the Argentine
• I can 100% confirm Atleti have interest in Viktor Gyökeres
• Andrea Berta has maintained contacts with the camp since last summer and has explored 'different structures & mechanisms' to bring Julian Alvarez to North London in the recent months…
• Reports about 'the English weather' being a reason Julian and his family would not return to England are absolutely false.
• The player would be very open to joining Arsenal and has directly told us should his dream to Barca become impossible
• Arsenal are yet to officially formalise their interest but Atleti are well aware of our interest.

The situation is chaotic but my role is to provide the absolute facts to the best of my knowledge in real time not predict the future. Its difficult enough tracking Berta and his 1000 spinning plates technique, its even harder when he silently speaks to ex-colleagues at Atleti with whom he has a lot of trust with but I have presented the facts. Genuinely feel a lot of relief talking about this all as its been exhausting to track for 14 months. I need to sleep now as I have been awake all night contacting sources 😂
