This goal celebration needs to catch on

 

[Pothas]

Pontus Jansson actually happened. This is just not a normal Brentford signing. I mean we are probably still going to sell at least one player for about 20 million before the summer is out but things really feel a bit different already.

 

[duffer]

buy a player arsenal ffs

Heh

This Kieran Tierney situation is really getting my goat.

So far as I know he's not even that good, but he's young, affordable, home grown, and an improvement on what we have already, in a position that badly needs to be strengthened.

[Lillian Thomson]

Bring back Arsene Wenger.

Most people I've heard seem to think he's pretty good. Hard to tell how he'd handle the step up, but some very good players have come out of Celtic.

Problem for Arsenal is that they can't afford to overpay even by a little. Probably need to ship Aubameyang to China if they want to fill in all the squad holes.

Don't believe Tierney counts as home grown.

Sarri a bit of a counter-example to both the above posts- was hated by fans and eventually sacked despite perfectly good results, and shows that, while everyone prefers their club to play good football, different clubs have radically different ideas of what ‘good football’ is.

That said, I do still largely agree with both. Barca and Ajax are obvious exceptions though.

I choked with laughter when Neville compared United's commitment to their play style as similar to Barca and Ajax's a couple of months into OGS's reign.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Arsenal have appointed Edu as Technical Director. That's pretty damned exciting.

Well, UK Home Grown I meant.

It's quite a coup really. A player whose ability level is probably comfortably beyond that of the Championship, and whose signing directly weakens a rival. I really ought to come and watch again.

 

[Niall]

Youri Tielemans is a nice signing for Leicester.

Famous last words, but would not be shocked if they finish ahead of Arsenal or United next year heck maybe even both. Its a really impressive squad they are building.

 

[Uppercut]

Tielemans is a good signing but he's become very overrated very quickly. Seeing a lot of United fans bemoan us "missing out" on him and I really don't think he's that level of quality. Lo Celso would be much better.

 

[Furball]

Well, UK Home Grown I meant.

UK doesn't exist in football.

 

[sledger]

FM lying to me again I guess

 

[andmark]

Just a small prediction here, but I reckon throughout the season, some team will try the Trent Alexander-Arnold corner once as an intentional tactic.

 

[Furball]

I don't think you can do that intentionally.

I can't believe Daley Blind copied him 3 years ago against Leicester, what a rip off he was

Last year at Griffin Park so you must make a game this season. Konsa off to Villa for 12 so that is about 25 million we have made on two young defenders in the last 6 months, more than pays for everything we have done so far this summer. Still expecting Maupay to go but got hopes we might hang on to Benrahma now unless we get a really huge offer.
