Fans losing their minds about how Paraguay setup against France.

#Arsenal play against this setup week-in, week-out. Let’s appreciate the fact Arteta found a way to win the league despite this.

Also, #Barcola is a poor man’s #Martinelli

#Yildiz or #Rogers please!

#AFC #COYG

@Footballera0 Kenan Yildiz and Morgan Rogers are the ideal Trossard replacements.. and that tells more about the quality of Trossard and what a shrewd signing he was!!!! 😎

[WelBeast @WelBeast]

Football matches are played over two 45-minute halves, making 90 minutes in total. But the number 45 wasn't chosen because of science.

In the early days of football, there was no standard match length. That changed on 31 March 1866, when the Football Association and Sheffield agreed on a compromise: Sheffield wanted a two-hour match, the FA wanted something shorter, so they settled on two halves of 45 minutes.

The format worked so well that it became the global standard and has remained unchanged for over 150 years.

But why?

Because, ladies and gentlemen...
It's been 45 days since Arsenal won the Premier League title.

Watch #Arsenal chase #Monga in 5 years with a £75m bid only to be rejected by the selling club demanding £125m.

#AFC will not sign him then either saying their valuation of the player is a lot less.

This is quite simply absurd. Refusing to pay £3m more for a teenage prodigy 🤦‍♂️

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 Manchester City working to complete signing of Leicester City winger Jeremy Monga. Proposed deal to #MCFC worth in region of £10m. Clubs in direct contact over 16yo #LCFC winger + move now close. Arsenal felt valuation too high & withdrew @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/hG27RSsZik

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

@gunnerpunner Arsenal’s hesitation resulted in Bournemouth signing Junior Kroupi. We have been scouting him since he was 17 years old. We have to start trusting our scouting network more with such young talent.

Such players after playing a season or 2 see their valuations soar! 🥲

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

@dankoogs Give it a couple of years and we will all know? That’s the point.

Identify talent early, develop the player over 3 to 4 years, then unleash them when they are ready.

I bet fans of clubs that missed out on William Saliba were also mocking Arsenal when he was sent out on loans!

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

@fkhanage In all seriousness though, we are a month into the transfer window, and we’ve neither moved on deadwood nor have we signed new players.

It takes time to sell players for decent fees, which I get. However, shouldn’t groundwork be laid during the season?

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

@fkhanage How about you do a technical break down and a dedicated episode on Alajbegovic with a Bosnian journalist?

When we eventually miss out on signing him, we can then say.. it is not worth talking about a 19-yr old and that we should move on 😅

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

@fkhanage Nah… Player agreed to join… Arsenal refused to pay £10m and stuck to their £6.5m valuation.

Berta fumbled this one. Worrying signs.

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

@fkhanage Some might also label dedicating entire episodes talking to Leicester journalists about a 16-yr old prospect, doing technical break downs, etc. as losing your minds.

Don’t you think?

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

@fkhanage Time to delete that Monga episode, FK! 😂

We continue to be penny pinchers.. and look set to lose a wonderkid to a big club, again.

Reason we don’t have Galacticos. Our wage structure means we can NEVER buy a galactico. We have to get them in early.. but bidding £10m was 😵‍💫

🚨 Arsenal are looking to bring in around four new players this summer, but all of high quality. 🕵️‍♂️ [@SimonJones_DM]

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

Barcola is all skill and no end-product!

Isn’t worth more than £70m in the current market.

#Arsenal needs level raisers of the calibre of Vinicius Jn or Kvaratskhelia.

Not a French Madueke!

[Phil Costa @_PhilCosta]

Arsenal are open to offers for Christian Norgaard but value the midfielder at a higher price than the £116m Manchester City will pay for Elliot Anderson.

[Ashwath Krishna @UpToTheWickets]

That is an insane decision.

What next? Cordoning off the six yard box so the goalkeeper can be fully protected?

@PeakSxnti Transfer windows will not be complete without him. I heard he is on his way to London, as we speak, to complete his medical.
