Man…

This move excites me so much.

Lemme chill. Lemme hold off. Let’s see how it plays out.

The intentions are beyond beautiful.

Like I always say, even before the glory days:

برونو غيماريش يمتلك شرطًا جزائيًا بقيمة 70 مليون يورو هذا الصيف بعد فشل نيوكاسل في التأهل إلى دوري أبطال أوروبا

Arsenal prepared to make a formal bid to Newcastle for Bruno Guimaraes after seeing a verbal offer via intermediaries of around £55m turned down. Newcastle insist they don’t wish to sell, but direct club-to-club contact is now anticipated.

As reported yesterday, Alex Scott, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Sandro Tonali other names on the radar. Matheus Fernandes has also been looked at, but Spurs and Manchester United more advanced as it stands.

Overlap with other Premier League clubs for each target. #MCFC want another midfielder post Elliot Anderson.

Spurs also want to sign two midfielders.

Manchester United will add at least one more midfielder.

And Chelsea and Liverpool could also explore a central midfield reinforcement.

With Arsenal fans, you used to be able to take the piss with all that bottler talk, no trophies etc…

Now they’ve won the league, I find myself unable to come up with a viable retort when they flood my comments 😭 hate it here

[DDFC_Insider @David_Dein_FC]

Arsenal have just won the league and lost the champions league final on pens. This isn't a squad that needs ripping apart. The plan has always been to invest in youth, add quality, not rebuild.

One versatile 6/8 (Norgaard expected to leave)
One versatile RB/RCB (pending White position)
Two forwards (pending Trossard/Jesus/Martinelli position)

That's the priority.

As for Odegaard, people need to ask themselves a simple question: Who are Arsenal replacing him with?

Elite creative midfielders don't grow on trees. Unless the club identify a top-class successor, he's not going anywhere

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal are discussing internally to return with new bid for Bruno Guimarães after £55m immediately rejected.

Newcastle mantain their stance with player’s camp and #AFC, no plans to sell the Brazilian. 🇧🇷

Arsenal remain in discussions over potential swoop for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes with fresh offer set to arrive. Arsenal also explored move for Sandro Tonali. https://t.co/aL2faYOkTm

[DDFC_Insider @David_Dein_FC]

‼️There's a gentleman's agreement allowing Bruno Guimaraes to explore a move should Newcastle fail to secure european football, and all parties are aware of the arrangement. The position from Newcastle is understood to be clear: there is a figure that opens negotiations, but it must be a guaranteed fee paid upfront rather than a heavily structured package with staggered payments. Meet that valuation and talks begin.

Over to Berta. ⏳️👀

[FK @fkhanage]

Recognise the importance to buy young talent; Bouaddi and Scott would be superb additions, but we have the opportunity to go back-to-back and dominate under Arteta. Bruno is readymade. It’s a ‘Sir Alex’ signing.

[DDFC_Insider @David_Dein_FC]

A few people were quick to dismiss it as agent talk. As I've said, Bruno Guimaraes is Berta's dream midfield signing. Arsenal are expected to come back with an improved offer and see where it leads. 👀🍿

We will have grown to the largest revenue generation team in PL
One of the largest basic membership in the world 650,000 and counting, without looking at the Silver memberships
120,000 on ST waiting list
More high generation sponsorships than the club have ever had (prior to winning the league)
Full ST renewal with no churn
£11m on one day in merch sales
Highest selling kit in clubs history on both D2C and Retail
And more and more

But yeah the rules arent fit for purpose.

Maybe your ground in the village your in should have been rebuilt to serve bigger fan base and grow organically rather than hand wringing and spouting nonsense! (Why dont you orgainse a club with Villa fans, who always spouting about red cartels!)

Technical director taking over an academy is odd, until you realise that he’s been the academy manager for both Monaco and Club Brugge in recent times.

As far as I am aware this is what has been going on. Arsenal were interested in Fernandes / Tonali / Pablo Barrios (exclusive). When Tonali was offered to us at the end of January, it peaked everyone's interest at the club. Berta kept in contact as did City. It became clear the deal was not feasible due to Newcastle wanting £85m or even more. To further add, the agent fees are incroyable. Barrios was not available for several reasons. Fernandes is heavily involved with Jorge Mendes and it became quickly apparent that there would be a bidding war at a minimum of £85m. It has now even been stated, 'whoever pays the most can have him'.

Berta then made contact multiple times to explore the situation of Alex Scott, the interest is real and there was a feeling a potential bargain could be secured around £65m. Bournemouth began to panic while Alex Scott was out in the USA with the England pre camp and want to rush to secure a renewal for Scott with a possible release clause. Their stance currently is he is not for sale at any price.

Is it becoming apparent we have approximated budget for the midfielder? (Investing in other areas)

As for Bruno G let me clarify… Berta made contact with his camp via Kia. A loose offer below £60m was floated to Newcastle via these middle men to understand their appetite for any deal. Newcastle say he is not for sale. Kia being involved is something you must keep an eye on for reasons every Arsenal fan should be aware of. When an offer is serious, it is officially submitted to the club hence me saying Newcastle have had no contact yet from Arsenal as of 9am. Newcastle will not lose both of their midfielders, so maybe Berta tried a cheeky offer before the Tonali deal has gone through. Until a serious offer is presented or our budget changes, we wait.

Arsenal have contacted the likes of Bouaddi / Kone and others I don’t want to discuss yet but no one else is providing these step by step updates and its incredibly exhausting. Personally think Bouaddi or Bruno would be incredible.

Newcastle are yet to receive any contact from Arsenal.

If the player pushes and we make a serious offer, I will update. Until then just chill out.
