130 million got you Van Dijk, Salah and Robertson 8 years ago. Now it gets you Elliott fucking Anderson from 16th placed Nottingham Forest. Football is finished.
Newcastle had to sell him to comply with FFP while he is currently signing for a football club who have been charged with 115 breaches of premier leagues financial rules. An independent panel was convened to hear these charges which was concluded in 2024. For reasons unknown to everyone we still don’t have a verdict on this. There is something deeply wrong about that
List of football competitions you will miss:
4 World Cups
8 Afcon
8 Euros
8 Copa America
16 champions leagues
16 Europa League
16 premier leagues
16 Fa cups
16 laliga

My biggest reason for not wanting Guimarães is that the moment he joins Arsenal, referees won't let him get away with half the things they let him get away with at Newcastle
🚨 @JacobsBen: “When Ethan Nwaneri signed his new deal at Arsenal last summer, there was a bit of reticence from the player about his pathway & minutes. The pitch to Nwaneri was that he would get game time on the right-wing & centrally.”
“Unfortunately for him, that pitch hasn’t lived up to the reality, so I expect him to go. It will suit all parties now for Nwaneri to depart. There is interest from other Premier League clubs.” 🕵️♂️🏴 [@LatteFirm]
@VictoryOwai Arsenal fans and their "shiny new toy" syndrome
Same way some of them wanted Noni to start over Saka at the beginning of last season after a few dribbles here and there with no actual output.
Because the standards for him are marginally lower, the year he scored 6 league goals for PSG with a QF UCL exit, people called it “poor form”, “poor year”.
Ronaldo has two or three bad games & it’s “he’s finished”, everyone expects him to turn up ALL THE TIME!
: make one whole country share the same identity. no diversity, no ethnic clash, just one people.
meanwhile, urhobo people no even regard me as "real deltan".
whatever tf that means.
Take the World Cup qualifiers seriously, dem nor gree listen.
They’re now playing street football across Nigeria while their mates are in Mexico, Canada and USA.
@mwtrizzle@SirLeoBDasilva If you say so...I have another opinion but that's a topic for another day. Man city faces the same low block every game but still creates chances and scores goals for fun
Julian Alvarez Update
If you remember, I stated there was another attacker I chose to keep anonymous. That player was indeed Julian Alvarez. The reason I said it was sensitive was because one of our players (Gyökeres) was potentially involved but let me just provide the facts for Arsenal fans. To my understanding the following statements are 100% factual.
• The players dream is Barca (personal terms agreed already)
• Barca have always wanted Julian to go public with his desire to force Atleti's position
• Atleti are adamant they will not to sell to Barca and would rather sell abroad but it wont stop Barca from trying
• PSG to my understanding left the race due to Campos / Enrique not wanting a player who doesn’t absolutely prioritise them but I wont be shocked if they return due to the players quality
• Julian has been a target for Arsenal since last summer
• After our group stage game Arteta made it clear we must atleast be in the race for the Argentine
• I can 100% confirm Atleti have interest in Viktor Gyökeres
• Andrea Berta has maintained contacts with the camp since last summer and has explored 'different structures & mechanisms' to bring Julian Alvarez to North London in the recent months…
• Reports about 'the English weather' being a reason Julian and his family would not return to England are absolutely false.
• The player would be very open to joining Arsenal and has directly told us should his dream to Barca become impossible
• Arsenal are yet to officially formalise their interest but Atleti are well aware of our interest.
The situation is chaotic but my role is to provide the absolute facts to the best of my knowledge in real time not predict the future. Its difficult enough tracking Berta and his 1000 spinning plates technique, its even harder when he silently speaks to ex-colleagues at Atleti with whom he has a lot of trust with but I have presented the facts. Genuinely feel a lot of relief talking about this all as its been exhausting to track for 14 months. I need to sleep now as I have been awake all night contacting sources 😂
