🚨 EXCL: Emiliano Martinez offered to Chelsea by representatives & west London club considering possibility of signing 33yo goalkeeper before transfer window finishes. #AVFC open to Argentina int’l exit after Zion Suzuki made No1 + #CFC keen @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/y6ZUvgNWI6
@WestStandTone I know Gyokeres did it at Sporting last summer but heavily reported there was a handshake agreement he could go if the valuation was met.
Don’t like players that just down tools when they fancy it.
Thinking on it now, one of the best things about Social media is throwing up random videos/interviews of Dolly Parton over the years.
What an absolute gem of a human being she seemed.
Proper salt of the earth type of beauty.
RIP. ❤️
🚨 Aston Villa make bid to Crystal Palace for Jean-Philippe Mateta. Lands far below what #CPFC would seek for 29yo striker but #AVFC interest ongoing alongside indicative offer to AC Milan over Rafael Leao. Relates to Ollie Watkins situation @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ZcwhQysuj6
Putting aside if you want Alvarez or not - for me, the issue isn’t if Barca is his preferred choice, it’s if it’s his only choice
I’m not naive, nor romantic enough to believe that every player we signed only wanted Arsenal and nobody else
Play your heart out and you’d be fine.
Last season it was the set piece that upset people.
This year, it’s signing players.
Villa and Newcastle fans particularly bitching like they’ve never approached a player from a smaller club and tried to pay as little as possible.
Arsenal’s depth is good but they don’t have a single world class player - Isak, VVD, Alisson, Barcola, Ekiteke would walk into their side. I’d say Wirtz would too - if not then plenty would make the case Sob takes Odegaard’s spot
Like me, you can think we could upgrade Matinelli.
But, I don’t see how anyone could say he doesn’t try his absolute best everytime he steps on that pitch.
I love him and if he stays I’ll support him, if he goes, he does so a champion, my fond memories and genuine best wishes.
This is Banaras Hussein. He was the leader of the Rotherham grooming gang, and he’s now been released.
Hussein was convicted of raping 15 girls for ten long years, starting when they were 11.
He threatened to kill them and their families.
He ripped out the fingernails of girls who tried to escape.
Hussein was found guilty on 55 separate counts.
That was just 9 years ago. Now he’s a free man - in a country where you can get two years for a tweet.
There are no plans to deport him.
If not said for clicks - then I genuinely love this sort of stuff
For years we were soft, we were weak, we had players getting their leg snapped in half and told to toughen up
Now, not only will we kick fuck out of anyone but this meek 50/50 shirt pull has got people snivelling
Does somebody actually need to die first before @PGMOL_FA take any action against Gabriel, Arsenal, and their manager?!
It’s is getting absurd how they can continue ignoring this sort of dangerous conduct.
The entire club is out of control.
Watch Chelsea wind up getting £65m for Pedro Neto.
While we’d struggle to get £40m+ for Martinelli.
Martinelli , a year younger, statically better over the last 2 seasons and overall a better player.
Whilst I think we can upgrade Martinelli, I would not be keen on swapping him out for Neto.
Incredibly similar output over the last 2 seasons
GM - 21 goals in 104 games
PN - 19 goals in 103 games.
Especially when you consider we’d be negative net on the deal.
Forgive Goalinton.
We’ve just jacked the guy that has provided the only trophy he’s ever seen.
And he’s talking about ‘top’ clubs as if he knows one.
Must be a terrible time.
As you’d expect, a few players looked off their game today.
Tzolis our best player.
Vieira played like a man that knows he’ll be loaned/sold and some of the youngsters impressed.
Yes, yes, yes it’s preseason but defo indications as to why we had to play Rice so much last season.
Can look so inferior without him.
Bruno will make a huge difference.
To be fair,
Vini J wanted to stay,
Diomande wanted arguably the biggest club in the world, and Barcola is ridiculous money.
We haven’t lost out to smaller sides on these players.
