“it’s a different kind of knock”

[PaulBettany22 @QuantK22]

Migrants, migrants, migrants. Meanwhile:

Fuel is cripplingly expensive for everyday working people (while fuel quality is also plummeting).

Food shops are revoltingly expensive.

Household bills are through the roof as are rent prices.

Just stay focused on migrants tho, they’re the ones making your everyday lives a living hell apparently.

🚨 Mikel Arteta agrees new Arsenal contract. #AFC boss into last year of deal but all sides aimed to extend since talks started in spring; improved terms now in place for 44yo & coaching staff also in process of renewing @TheAthleticFC post @SamiMokbel_BBC https://t.co/eYtlzKBPY3

Mikel Arteta says he deliberately sabotaged Arsenal's match preparations during pre-season to prepare them for the campaign. He caused travel delays, turned up the temperature in the dressing room, removed massage tables, delayed meals etc.

Mikel wanted level raisers. World class talent. He made that clear in the UCL post presser. He wanted to raise the ceiling of this attack. Its all he has ever wanted.

[Dobbo @Dobbo0107]

Thanks for everything Gabi ❤️

Came to Arsenal as an 18 year old from Brazil and is leaving at 25 as a Premier League CHAMPION.

Might not have ended the way we all wanted, but he always gave his all and loves the club. Thanks for everything 🫶

The Vini Jr paradox is super interesting because if he chooses to stay at Madrid then I don’t want him anyway. A player who’s happy to fold on his principles and accept the cuck chair is not who I want at my club.

If he opts to leave tho, that’s a courageous move from someone who clearly genuinely WANTS to be the main man. A leader. I want that at my club.

🚨 EXCL : Arsenal Football Club have personal terms agreed in principle with Vinicius Junior. Roc Nation will go armed into negotiations with Real Madrid with a monstrous offer from the English Champions…….over to you Vinicius Junior. Story W/ @MrArsenicTM

🚨 EXCL: Arsenal exploring move to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid. #AFC interest early stage + clubs not yet in talks but idea approved at all levels. Much rests on contract process as no breakthrough yet & #RMFC do not want free exit @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/qYdS5vlfE6

• Mikel Arteta is set to renew his contract with Arsenal and spearhead the title defence of The English Champions. The club approached our Basque native earlier this year, and it was agreed Mikel wanted to focus on delivering us major silverware & to earn his position within the home of the champions. Total accountability.

My understanding is that Enrique Riquleme explored a secret plot to bring Arteta to Madrid if he had won his presidential election. Mikel is currently on 'holiday', yet actively involved in our transfer operations. While everyone at the club are behaving like it’s a done deal, the club hope to finalise the inner details of the most important contract at the club. Minimum 3 years - the wheels are firmly on. Viva La Mikel.

• Andrea Berta's current contract runs until 2028. As I understand it, senior officials from Saudi explored a possibility of luring the Italian to the Middle East, while Bayern also covertly did the same thing. Andrea promised Mikel last summer he would deliver him a squad worthy of major silverware… mission completed, with the UCL now in their sights.

Another thing I wanted to mention is Micheli Maurizio, the man responsible for scouting Hamšík, Kvaratskhelia, Kim Min-Jae and now Christos Tzolis. While Arsenal aim to add atleast 2 attackers, do not underestimate the authority and respect this man has within the club and wider football. Two weeks ago, I was speaking to the representatives of a player who told me Micheli was the one holding court without the presence of Berta. This duo act are conducting business seamlessly, as you can see with the revamp of the Arsenal youth set up, for which I am told the club have ring fenced a special transfer budget.

• The contract of Declan Rice is also a major focus for Arsenal this summer, with initial talks starting early this year. As I understand it, Declan is very happy at Arsenal despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid and others. Talks are going smoothly and expect this to get done in due course.

• Jurrien Timber's contract is very close to completion. Minor details remain.

• David Raya has a 1 year optional extension on his current contract, which has 2 years left. All parties are very relaxed about his long term future, as a pay rise was agreed last summer.

As for all the rumours circulating, as of today, Arsenal are yet to make direct contact with ANY club for a MIDFIELDER.

I am happy to provide a 'state of play' post on the midfielder situation if that would be helpful?

This season has made me realise that people hate arsenal more than they love their own teams and that’s truly embarrassing 😭
