    So he’s not playing tonight, so he can complete the Arsenal move. So there wasn’t a blocker. Brilliant.

    Ok. I understand what you are saying about Greslish specifically. But does it not strike you as a bit of a repeated pattern that we never seem to win the competitive deal for the proven player? And I’m not saying I don’t understand that there are sometimes reasons for that, our strategy, our...

    I agree on your jam tomorrow point, and also I think players appreciate when a club has always been in for them. And have a clear plan on how they’re gonna be used. So I think being decisive is a way that plays into that. It’s clearly something that Ange was good at. And it may have been...

    No one is saying there wasn’t eventually a deal agreed with Villa. The point is around needing to win the negotiation and not paying what you’re prepared to pay anyway, earlier on, to get it sorted. And therefore reducing the likelihood that circumstances can change around you, outside of your...

    Yeah - it amazes me how people think the only thing we could have done is the exact thing that Levy did. And therefore it must have been correct. We could have moved more decisively for Grealish. We may have paid a bit more. But he thought we could squeeze them. And we lost out. I think it’s...

    Eberechi Eze

    This is where the rubber hits the road for me. There’s no reason why we will always be the second choice for players, if we are trying to sign proven talent. It’s about being decisive, and maybe taking a bit more of a risk in fee to be paid, or wages to be offered, But moving quickly is...

    Eberechi Eze

    Yeah I think we have decent / good options relevant to our strategy of signing good young players that will be most effective in 3+ years time. And think we do have real depth in most areas. But I agree, I look at Liverpool’s attacking options if we get Isaak and we’re just way off them. But...

    It’s hard to argue with this. I’m willing to wait until the end of the window to draw a firm conclusion though. Because one thing I will say is that we do have a very deep squad now. We are short in this ten position, but otherwise we have really good options. And so, if we end the window...

    Levy genius to make Arsenal spend more while we focus on our actual targets 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    I would like to think this isn’t copium, but I hope Steff is right about Frank’s preferences. And I think that maybe Eze is choosing Arsenal in part because maybe he knew Frank needed some convincing? Otherwise, I’d find it odd that a player would immediately prefer to join the club that came it...

    Eberechi Eze

    Very fair assessment. I was hoping for a step change window, that proved changes had been made so that we could aggressively conclude our business and compete at the real top end. Your articulation of the fact that beyond Kudus everyone has really been table stakes for how we’ve always done...

    Eberechi Eze

    Agreed. Eze would have been a statement of intent. Supposedly we have alternative options. There is no way the alternative will be as good a deal as Eze for 55-60m. It’s a great deal. And fantastic for Arsenal.

    Wow, this is fudging brutal. So close to an epic window.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Really well said. If we close Eze, along with the new Romero contract, I think it will be the best summer in a long time. And if we somehow pull off Savinho or one other, it’s beyond all expectations. Credit will absolutely be due.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I absolutely do not give them much thought outside of seeing their name mentioned on here. I think it’s interesting more as an intellectual exercise of ‘if you wanted to affect actual change, what message WOULD resonate?’ and I find their messaging to be completely dumb.

    Savinho

    For some reason I remember us signing Danny Murphy and Charlton saying he couldn’t play on the weekend…and we played them next. I wonder what kind of really important information I’ve lost in order to fit something that useless in my brain?

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    You’ve probably missed some of my other posts around this subject because otherwise you’d know I absolutely agree with you when it comes to our owners. Almost word for word in fact. What frustrates me about the CFT slogan is that I don’t think it actually attacks ENIC on this point. If they...

    I assumed it was Poch saying that if we’re not going to buy definite upgrades on what we have, he’d rather keep using the players that were up to speed with his methods.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think the Jose topic is really interesting as it relates to Frank, as in a purely tactical sense the overall idea isn’t super different. In the sense that Jose in his most basic form was attack the weaker teams when we are expected to win and chase goals, and counter the stronger ones. I’m...

    I love how we’ve clearly agreed personal terms with Eze and yet with Forest it was the crime of the century that we’d done that apparently, that whole saga was completely bizarre.
