Robin van Persie:
“The most difficult moment of my career was leaving Arsenal. It wasn’t an easy decision, and deep down I never truly wanted to walk away.
People judged me without knowing everything that was happening behind the scenes. Football is never as simple as it looks from the outside.
When I faced Arsenal after leaving, I always wanted to perform at my best. That’s the mentality of every professional—you want to prove yourself against your former club.
No matter what happened, Arsenal will always be a huge part of my career and my journey in football.” 🔴⚪️

🚨 Carlo Ancelotti on Gabriel Martinelli:
🗣️ “Gabriel Martinelli is such an incredible player.
People only talk about his pace, but there's so much more to his game than speed. His movement, his work rate, his pressing and his willingness to sacrifice for the team make him a manager's dream.
That's one of the reasons I like bringing him off the bench at times. When defenders are tired, Martinelli completely changes the rhythm of a game. He stretches defences, creates space and gives his teammates a different outlet.
I'll say something that might upset a few people: I think Martinelli is better than a lot of the wingers that came to this World Cup. He may not always get the headlines, but his overall contribution to a team is massively underrated.
Not every great player needs to score every game to have a huge impact. Sometimes it's the runs, the pressing and the constant threat that win matches.
If Martinelli can stay fit and become a little more clinical in front of goal, I genuinely believe he'll establish himself among the very best wingers in world football.
There aren't many players I'd choose ahead of him.”

🗣️Viktor Gyökeres when asked about the rumours of him leaving #Arsenal this summer: “Of course it’s flattering to see that clubs are interested but I feel extremely comfortable at Arsenal. After the season we have had, I only have positive feelings.” 🏠 🇸🇪
@stxwberry_bear@VinceStervy Le debat n est pas sur la quantite il a joué toute la saison sans concurents... mais là on parle de qualité ... et il est nul de fou
@stxwberry_bear@VinceStervy En plus il est lent il ne sait pas passer un homme. a part quelques exceptions ces buts sont d une facilité enormes . Il combine mal avec le reste de l equipe . Se place mal . Se positionne mal face au ballon. C est pour ça qu il a perdu sa place quand havertz est revenu
@stxwberry_bear@VinceStervy Arrete de parler de stat va voir les match... deja il ne marque que contre les equipes de seconde partie de tableau et jamais le 1-0 ou le but de la victoire mais les match deja plié. C est le joueur qui perd le plus de ballon dans l equipe et de loin... sur des passes simples.
🚨 Arsenal are not just a football club anymore. They are THE BLUEPRINT.
Real Madrid want Saliba. Real Madrid want Calafiori. They just watched Arsenal sign Hincapié, now THEY want him too.
Meanwhile, our TARGETS? Man City and Chelsea are chasing Jeremy Monga. Spurs are running after Tonali. Everyone is circling Morgan Rogers. PSG and Chelsea are behind Arsenal on Bouaddi.
Think about that. Clubs are not just copying our SQUAD, they’re copying our SCOUTING LIST. That is what happens when Andrea Berta builds a network that identifies elite talent BEFORE the market does. That is what happens when Arteta turns players into world-class assets. Arsenal’s name on a player is now a QUALITY STAMP.
We don’t follow trends. We SET THEM.
MY OPINION: This is the most underrated thing about the Arsenal project right now. Berta and Arteta have turned this club into a MARKET SIGNAL. When Arsenal want you, the whole world suddenly wants you too. That’s not luck, that’s ELITE OPERATION.
Is Arsenal the best-run project in world football right now?
✅ YES — Not even close
❌ NO — Someone is doing it better
