At this stage I’m resigned to him, Saliba & Saka missing big portions of next season. It starts in just over a month, it’d be silly to expect them to be anywhere near that. For the long term health of themselves & our aims, we need to allow them to fully recuperate

I am grateful we live in a world where what Peter Crouch said about Messi vs Ronaldo is the norm because I was very tired of the alternative

De Zerbi is recreating Pep’s Barca.

Valdés - Kinsky
Alves - Porro
Piqué - Van De Ven
Puyol - Van Hecke
Abidal - Udogie
Busquets - Tonali
Xavi - Fernandes
Iniesta - Maddison
Messi - Kudus
Eto’o - Kroupi

Mirroring the side that won six trophies in a year.

Genius.

Oi the worst thing about international tournaments is people that don’t watch football come with their takes 😭

@DarrenArsenal1 @ROADEGAARD What’s even funnier is some fans losing their mind over a kid that they’ve never heard of before now and likely to not make it the top level.

Kinda insane that one country is allowed to have this kind of clear competitive advantage.

The UK Government will now reward people for walking

Under the new scheme, people who walk 30 minutes a day or a marathon a month will be rewarded with "incentives and discounts"

HoA is a dedicated and incredibly loyal fan, as well as a top football journalist. He doesn’t post everything he knows. He seeks to inform the fanbase earnestly, as and when he can, without compromising the club. I have so much appreciation and respect for what he does.

So when he calls out poor outcomes at the club, it’s really worth taking note.

My own issue isn’t Arsenal’s strategy here. They’re clearly of the belief that they can use the situations of clubs like Leicester, Villa and Newcastle to leverage quoted fees down to more reasonable levels. And I get that. I have run the numbers of Villa and Newcastle and believe both need to generate meaningful profit this summer and have few options with which to do so. Leicester’s been relegated to League 1 and were likely to get less than what Arsenal were offering if it went to tribunal. It all makes sense…

But only so long as you have the player side (player, agent, family) fully locked down. Because if you don’t, and you let the clock run whilst applying leverage, you can get gazumped. Just like we were with Monga.

My concern is Berta is aloof by nature. His whole MO is based on agreeing personal terms with multiple targets before eventually transacting with a club. This does nothing to lock a player down - in fact, it does the exact opposite. It makes the relationship feel transactional.

What happened with Monga could easily happen with other meaningful, first team targets if we try to combine two conflicting strategies. It’s poor operations and if Arsenal had a top football exec, he/she would not stand for it.

Lessons need to be learned and fast.
