Let’s take a step back for a second and appreciate how far Mikel Arteta has brought Arsenal.
To even be in the conversation for a player like Vinicius is yet another glowing example of how Arteta has changed the landscape of the club.
From nothing, to something, to everything…
Hard to know what to make of this transfer window for Arsenal.
It’s had a layer of chaos around it with little semblance of a plan.
However, despite the daily craziness, I can’t stop imagining Bruno and Alvarez lining up for the Arsenal.
I don’t even really care about another LW or CB, just bring me those 2.
That would be something.
I wonder why Arsenal aren’t all over this.
€40m for a top CCB profile. He’s only 22, excellent on the ball, and a perfect backup to Saliba, especially in terms of build-up play and ball progression.
Meanwhile, Konsa would cost almost double that fee, and he’s already 28.
Jude will get the headlines and deservedly so but I wanna shout out Bukayo Saka. His legs may be gone, he may lack that explosiveness but his IQ will give him the longevity he needs in his career. 9/10 he makes the right decision he RARELY makes the wrong one. Ridiculous player.
Leandro Trossard, if this is the end, you leave as a cult hero of this football club. £21 million. Clutch moment after clutch moment. That goal at the London Stadium will never be forgotten. 🫡
🗣️| يورغن كلوب : " إذا كان هذا الهدف [ هدف المانيا الملغي امام البارغواي ] غير صحيح، فحينها لا ينبغي أن يكون أرسنال بطلا لإنجلترا. لقد سجلوا 60% من أهدافهم بهذه الطريقة"
🗣️| ايمانويل بيتي ردا على تصريح كلوب : " لماذا تُدخلون أرسنال في الموضوع؟ نحن نتحدث عن كأس العالم … لا أملك أي فكرة أو تفسير لسبب ربطه ما حدث بأرسنال.
قوانين التحكيم في كأس العالم والمباريات الدولية ليست مطابقة تماما لما تراه في المباريات الإنجليزية. الحكام هنا في الدوري الإنجليزي ليسوا مثل الحكام الذين يديرون مباريات كأس العالم أو البطولات الأوروبية "
Smart move by Xabi Alonso.
Chelsea lack leaders and accountability in that dressing room. He was an integral part of the culture Arteta built here.
Personally I hold no grudge, he did what is best for his career and his family.
