Man City have matched Arsenal’s entire summer spend in the last hour.

[Magic hat 🎩 @themagic_tophat]

Round and round it goes

[Mark O'Haire @MarkOHaire]

This transfer window has felt a bit… odd.

Huge fees being shuffled between Premier League clubs for players who haven’t necessarily done enough to justify them. Values seemingly rising regardless of performances. Academy players treated as accounting opportunities. Clubs buying from each other at enormous premiums.

Maybe it’s just what happens when the league is awash with money and financial rules incentivise trading.

But the whole thing has felt strange, artificial and, at times, uncomfortable. Some of the fees, valuations and mutually convenient deals make it hard not to raise an eyebrow.

[PB @football_pb]

Manchester City can have absolutely no excuses to not win this league. They’ve spent £1billion in 18 months. Absolutely insane.

All whilst being investigated for 115 charges. Shambolic.

[Arse2Mouse @arse2mouse]

Odegaard doubters sit the FUCK down.

[WelBeast @WelBeast]

The English Premier League has 20 teams. Out of these 20 teams, only 2 make profits on deadwood players year after year. Coincidentally, these two clubs have been charged with 115 and 74 cases related to historical financial and regulatory breaches.

I don’t want to speak.

£70m or more transfers since Arteta joined in late 2019

Chelsea ~ 7
Man Utd ~ 6
Liverpool ~ 4
Man City ~ 3
Spurs ~ 2
Arsenal ~ 2 (Rice, *Bruno G)

[FK @fkhanage]

A financial sanction of £10m for a club that spends as it pleases, with no regard for the rules or regulation around dealing with agencies, is frankly, a disgrace. It’s a drop in the ocean for one of the dirtiest clubs in the game and if anything, acts as an incentive to do more.

[Terry Flewers @terryflewers]

If Manchester City complete the signing of Bouaddi, they’ll have spent 819m in just 18 months around 100m shy of what Arteta has spent across six and a half years at Arsenal.

The expectation next season has to be winning the Premier League. Not competing. Not “being in the mix.” Winning it. You cannot spend that amount of money in such a short period and ask for patience. The pressure should be enormous.

[FK @fkhanage]

I would fucking love Martin Ødegaard to stay at Arsenal.

[BeckenhamGooner @changearsenal]

Petition for there to be no Spring International break next season, or any season ever again

[BeckenhamGooner @changearsenal]

If Saliba is out, Holding for the home games, Tierney for aways

[BeckenhamGooner @changearsenal]

@Gunnersc0m Also need answers on how Marc Van Bommel avoided sending off in the 2006 CL final.

[Clive 🏆 @clivepafc]

Ok I have to say this

♦️Partey
♦️Odegaard
♦️Saka

Crucial to our chances

The word influential doesn’t quite cut it

They are going to get flogged on international duty you just know it - while others all of a sudden are injured

Be smart chaps

I feel better now 😡👀🤔😂

[Clive 🏆 @clivepafc]

This stings but beat Palace and go 8 points clear we will soon get over it

[Sash ~ @ltarsenal]

Only positive is this is the last time in hopefully a long time we play this competition.

[Sash ~ @ltarsenal]

Worst possible scenario for us. Injuries and extra time....

[BeckenhamGooner @changearsenal]

My thoughts exactly

[YankeeGunner 🏆 @YankeeGunner]

Dreadful competition. Awful standard of football. The sooner we are done with thursdays the better.

[BeckenhamGooner @changearsenal]

Neither of Arsenal next 2 league games televised. Only yesterday at Fulham of last 4 on TV. So only 1 from 6 games televised for first title charge in a decade. @premierleague your domestic TV service is an outdated joke.

[BeckenhamGooner @changearsenal]

@WestStandTone Ever since Paul Tierney handed Spurs that ‘penalty’ for Cedric last year, and then gave that lot another nothing pen in their next game (that they scored to win 1-0) I’ve been convinced PL/FA are outright corrupt or following #narrative orders from £££
