Football discourse doesn’t have to be hysterical to be passionate.

This account is built on perspective, thoughtful analysis, and appreciation of elite players and managers — even through setbacks.

Let’s raise the level Gunners! 🤝

Lmao, how am I seeing this video for the first time 😭

• Mikel Arteta is set to renew his contract with Arsenal and spearhead the title defence of The English Champions. The club approached our Basque native earlier this year, and it was agreed Mikel wanted to focus on delivering us major silverware & to earn his position within the home of the champions. Total accountability.

My understanding is that Enrique Riquleme explored a secret plot to bring Arteta to Madrid if he had won his presidential election. Mikel is currently on 'holiday', yet actively involved in our transfer operations. While everyone at the club are behaving like it’s a done deal, the club hope to finalise the inner details of the most important contract at the club. Minimum 3 years - the wheels are firmly on. Viva La Mikel.

• Andrea Berta's current contract runs until 2028. As I understand it, senior officials from Saudi explored a possibility of luring the Italian to the Middle East, while Bayern also covertly did the same thing. Andrea promised Mikel last summer he would deliver him a squad worthy of major silverware… mission completed, with the UCL now in their sights.

Another thing I wanted to mention is Micheli Maurizio, the man responsible for scouting Hamšík, Kvaratskhelia, Kim Min-Jae and now Christos Tzolis. While Arsenal aim to add atleast 2 attackers, do not underestimate the authority and respect this man has within the club and wider football. Two weeks ago, I was speaking to the representatives of a player who told me Micheli was the one holding court without the presence of Berta. This duo act are conducting business seamlessly, as you can see with the revamp of the Arsenal youth set up, for which I am told the club have ring fenced a special transfer budget.

• The contract of Declan Rice is also a major focus for Arsenal this summer, with initial talks starting early this year. As I understand it, Declan is very happy at Arsenal despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid and others. Talks are going smoothly and expect this to get done in due course.

• Jurrien Timber's contract is very close to completion. Minor details remain.

• David Raya has a 1 year optional extension on his current contract, which has 2 years left. All parties are very relaxed about his long term future, as a pay rise was agreed last summer.

As for all the rumours circulating, as of today, Arsenal are yet to make direct contact with ANY club for a MIDFIELDER.

I am happy to provide a 'state of play' post on the midfielder situation if that would be helpful?

Real Madrid did absolutely everything to stop William Saliba signing that renewal.

Saliba spoke to Gabriel and Arteta and chose to make history here at Arsenal.

Genuinely, nothing but respect and admiration for that level of desire to win here, the place he calls home.

Not one previous Premier League winner faced low block defences like Arsenal did this season.

This was the most hard fought title win ever.

Wenger and Pep’s disciples are coaching their asses off at Arsenal, Bayern, Chelsea, Como and then there are Fergie’s disciples doing podcasts and fooling around on the internet 😭😭😭

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Unforgettable.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Arsenal have already started working and planning for summer signings.

At least 3 signings are expected, could
be even more based on exits.

Top winger the priority; midfielder and right back also almost guaranteed. Strikers situation to follow.

North London takeover ⚡️

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.

Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.

I recognise my football club again.
