EXCL: Tottenham are now on the verge of reaching an agreement with David Raya on personal terms. Long term contract, almost agreed after positive talks. 🚨⚪️ #THFC
Raya, open to Spurs move but club to club talks will be crucial. £40m fee asked by Brentford, considered too high.
Andrea Berta man. Today makes it exactly 6 months since he joined Arsenal. He joined on March 30th.
He signed Kepa, Mosquera, Hincapié, Nørgaard, Zubimendi, Eze, Madueke and Gyökeres in the summer.
He committed MLS, Nwaneri, Gabriel and Saliba all to new long term contracts. Saka next
He has done all these in just 6 months. Bruh, a competent Sporting Director will change your life. Incredible!👏

Pep Guardiola came to the Emirates for a point. Let’s see if he gets criticised by the media for not going to his title rivals with the mentality to win.
This isn’t ambitious spending. This is hoarding in the hope that something works whilst simultaneously stagnating the careers of some really good young players.
What Berta has done this summer is truly remarkable.
- Needed two new 6's: he signed Zubi and Norgaard.
- Needed a back-up keeper: he signed Kepa.
- Needed Saka back-up: he signed Madueke.
- Needed a striker: we signed Gyokeres.
- Needed a back-up CB: We signed Mosquera.
- Nwaneri, Gabriel and MLS need new contracts: 2/3 signed. 1 in advanced stages.
It's July 14. The window closes in 1.5 months. Plenty of time to sell some players and keep an eye out for that special forward on the left. No rush. All in good time...
Son lost a 1 on 1 that could have sent Spurs to the Champions league.
You know what he did after?
Started telling jokes with the opposition manager.
That’s the captain of a club.
Champions league football could’ve changed the trajectory of the club this season. No pity for them.
List of managers who have achieved 89+ points in the history of the PL

Pep Guardiola
Jurgen Klopp
Jose Mourinho

Liverpool had this title won at Christmas realistically. Especially when Arsenal's owners refused to get in a striker...I mean who gives up half way through a race they're still in to focus on next season?
