I don’t like to ever get carried away but I wouldn’t change Gabriel for any other CB we’ve had during The Emirates era and in their peak. Gabriel is 22 years old & only had two months to settle in a new country. We’ve not even seen the best of him yet. £23m is an absolute steal.

"We are not in Disneyland!"

Mikel Arteta speaking about the way people reacted to his reaction to Max Dowman's red card against Fleetwood Town 🔊

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@SanksAdiRealest @afcDW Thought he was sloppy first half. Second half better but didn’t need to do much as CB

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@ShutUpJ0E @afcDW Few sloppy moments but created several opportunities

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Literally just said “go to the dressing room” as Dowman was seemingly heading towards the dugout - which is evident on video replays.

Players that are sent off have to go straight to the dressing room.

End of story. https://t.co/VgzJEUQ6Vr…

Mikel Arteta did not appear to be impressed with Max Dowman after the youngster was sent off against Fleetwood Town.

The Arsenal manager exchanged words with the 16-year-old as he made his way down the tunnel.

@AFCAMDEN @Jack10__Arsenal Only 2/3 that started will start on Sunday

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@jeorgebird Really good off the bench today and contributed to the win. Hopefully he can get a loan. He’s ready for senior football.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

There’s always a tweet!… even better that Ben suggested Cambiaso would work well in a system with Calafiori and Hincapie before either of them became Arsenal players!

[Ben Mattinson @Ben_Mattinson_]

The fact Juventus managed to snap up Andrea Cambiaso so early for cheap is one of the shrewdest pieces of business they’ve done recently💰

Ambipedal, athletic, progressive inverted FB who's defensively solid🇮🇹

Cambiaso will be a vital cog in Juve & Italy’s future⚙️

@Tj16410 Appreciate the step up in quality but he’s not even moving the same. Even as is he was with Sporting either

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Has he bulked up too much? He’s less agile and slower than this comp.

[Russo @SportsQoner]

I need this version of Viktor Gyokeres against Brighton tomorrow 😮‍💨

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@Bantz_AFC Never made sense but perhaps it was a sweetener to get a higher fee for Rogers.

I assumed it was a certain obligation but appears not.

It’s not good for Chelsea so I am not at all fussed with it. Should affect Villa with future loan enquiries.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Don’t rate Garnacho but this is a bad look for Villa after the Harvey Elliott saga of last year.

[Tom Collomosse @TomCollomosse]

🟣Hemmings, McGinn, Alysson, Mbaye, Buendia - Emery will pick all of them over Garnacho.

🔵 It would take quite a turnaround for the ‘easily achievable’ £43m obligation to be triggered.

It’s a Gyokeres problem, I’m afraid. Yes certain games states will allow him to flourish more than others but fundamentally it’s down to Gyokeres to adapt his game.

[Tim Stillman ⭐️⭐️ @timstillman_]

This week's column is about Viktor Gyokeres. It feels like the game states he is useful for are diminishing and he is looking increasingly like a square peg in this Arsenal team 👇🔴⚪️

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@alex_crook @talkSPORT Garner is worth £65m?????

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Mental how Man City have spent £350m on 3 new midfielders and they still had a better midfield last season.

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City reach agreement with Chelsea to sign Enzo Fernandez. Package for 25yo midfielder work £125m so matches British transfer record. Argentina int’l granted permission by #CFC to undergo medical & complete #MCFC move @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/Y1bjwO8qsw

The Arsenal got us walking out of Tesco because we don’t agree with the market value of steak. Andrea Berta is killing us 😭😭😭

[Tobi @_Tobolos_]

I’m hungry

Walked into Tesco to buy some steak, my budget was £10

They only had chicken (priced at £8)

I walked out. I’ve decided I won’t eat at all. If I perish I perish

I won’t go above my valuation

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Either lower the price or pivot to Nusa (my own preference). We’re not getting a proven level raiser so it makes sense to go with a younger profile with promising potential.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🇧🇪 Arsenal will not meet €40m asking price for Malick Fofana, considered too high.

Different structure/conditions or #AFC will move on.

Sunderland remain in negotiations for Fofana with both player’s camp and OL.

#SAFC are very keen on Malick, as @SkySports_Keith reported.
