@FutPoliceLeaks Play styles are accurate but the stats are diabolical 😂

@FutPoliceLeaks Should have slide tackle and bruiser

[Gabriel Martinelli @gabimartinelli]

Once a Gunner, always a Gunner ❤️

This is why I unapologetically call myself a Saka “stan”

I was there watching this young-ass kid single-handedly be the ray of hope for what felt like a dying club

I feel like Arsenal Twitter today is full of people who weren't around for this. They don't get it

Best midfielder on the planet

[Nel• @5peatNel]

Bro this isn’t normal

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

@EduardoHagn Renew them all and see if any decent offers come in over the next few years. Other than Raya — keep him until he starts shrinking

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

@1jardo Osimhen x Rayan would’ve satisfied me

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

As i’ve said, try Saka at LW and get an elite goalscoring RW - saka’s strong suit has never been goals but his creativity on the other hand is elite.

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

@MagicOdegard This + the quality of the defenders in the premier league is the issue

@ctt_carys Imagine being a fan who lives in the city 🥀

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

Penny pinching with rogers has royally screwed us - we were never gonna get vini nor by the sounds of it the Argentina midget - the fact victor osimhen was never considered is a bummer, he’s the only realistic ceiling raiser left

Summer “Plan”

Feb/March - Spoke to Julian, who was relaxed and open to all options.Also had serious interest in Kenan Yildiz leading up to the summer. Approached Juve, who said absolutely no chance.

Early summer: Worked for months on Morgan Rogers. Mikel’s main target, after Kenan was not for sale. Got Morgan on board and knew we could do it for £85 - 100m but decided to play the field to spin plates. Waited too long, and now the Elliott A. deal dictates the new market price. Villa now want more than £115m. We check in with Barcola, who is also in a similar price range.
The club decide, after weeks of delaying, to finally engage in some talks with Villa, who tell us they want an amount close to the Elliott A. deal. While we delay, Alonso has spoken to Morgan, Behdad has spoken to Nassef, and they wrap up months of our work and delays in 36 hours. We were even offered the chance to match and refused.

We then internally agree that Morgan was not worth that, so we pivot to the market opportunity that was “Vini Jr.” The hierarchy accept this is a generational signing and say, “Let’s do whatever it takes to get him.” They agree personal terms and leave the final decision up to him. He chose Madrid. The club are then deflated but satisfied with their efforts in this particular case.

They then pivot back to Kenan in a desperate attempt to convince Juve with creative deals, such as using Martinelli, but the answer is clear: not for sale.
We have been checking in with Alvarez this whole time, who is fixated on Barça despite being told it will never happen. They realise he is the only “level raiser” left, so push hard for Julian, who doesn’t believe his Barça dream is over.

They check on Gakpo (I’m sure many other names too). N’Diaye’s agent is saying, “Come get me.” They bite on the Fofana offer and consider it to some degree.
In the end, they feel disappointed with the outcome of the whole window. Its been below par for sure.

Personally, I tried to voice my concerns early when I saw patterns during the Morgan saga. I was alarmed because you don’t just become competent overnight after being this “dithery” and hesitant, trying to spin plates. Read the post I quoted.

Side note, but a big side note, because the truth matters : They explored the sale of Myles via Kia to understand his market value. Myles always said he wanted to stay. He is settled now, and the matter is closed.

I am a fan just like you. I also, like you, get excited when MY club promises big things. I think if there is disappointment within the club about the conclusion of the summer, then fans should be entitled to voice their opinions too. Again, your frustrations are justified. Many who know more feel the exact same way.

My argument is PSG signed Doué, who at the time was on the come-up. The market is there for shrewd people to take advantage of. Mikel deserves world-class people around him. Premier League champions, UCL finalists, and we end up with a weaker attack?

Man City rebuilt their whole midfield in one summer and we have not signed a true world class attacker in how many windows? 5 or 6?

It was the summer of Premier League champions, but we didn’t plan nor execute a Champions summer.

I am gutted and very worried we are very short on numbers, but I will always back Mikel and the lads. They give it their all.Mikel, being the person he is, will want to now focus on what’s next, and that is Chelsea.

If anyone at Arsenal is reading this, fans are not crying about a shiny new toy, they back the squad and understand we are in good place but wanted to be in a great place.

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

I’d sign Ismailia Sarr just from his performance against us in the Europa league 10 years ago - that shit moved me ngl

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

@ojn96 Rashford improves us massively i wouldn’t so say no to it lol

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

@willreyner No worries mate u have gusto

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

@PatrickTimmons1 Would’ve been a 7/10 if we kept Martinelli. With him leaving and not being replaced drops it to a 4-5/10

[Zac @ZT_AFC]

Must be nice to be a city fan- spending 500 million every summer
