If the rumours are to be believed Arteta and Berta are pushing for the Alvarez deal. I don't link this. He doesn't want to come to Arsenal. Then invest your money elsewhere. We don't need another Lassana Diarra.
Also G. Neville saying we should. Then you definitely want to stay away from that deal.
in fairness... he is a great player.
but I don't think it's worth it, would rather keep our powder dry and keep Gyokeres, who's done pretty good and is clearly dedicated to the club. Better that than needing to revisit the striker issue AGAIN after like a year or two when he wants to try for Barca again, especially since it looks like they're not getting a decent striker this summer. We finally have a good striker, let's just stick with him.
I still think the only signing we actually need to get is someone who can upgrade on Martinelli atp, as harsh as that is. Tzolis is looking quite good but Martinelli just doesn't suit us anymore and we need two good players in that spot.
alternatively, hijack haaland when City get 115'd /j
Same...we want players who want to actually come here, not as a last resort.
Brighton 4 - 0 Villa after 30 mins
Hahaha I think we sunk Villa by signing Konsa
I mean, they've lost a lot this season. Tielemans, Rogers, Konsa.
And playing with their 3rd option keeper, plus no Watkins and Martinez on the bench.
And they're a man down for the second half.
BHA are going to usurp us at the top!
second again ole ole
In case anyone is interested: Global petition: Gianni Infantino to resign & FIFA reform
I mean I appreciate that this exists but when's the last time a change.org petition has done... well, anything lol
Fuck's sake Bournemouth.
my bad gang i put the city game on and this happens
I should know better by now that anything i want doesn't get to happen
ok i turned my game off before that second goal that's not on me
Haha. Football is good at the moment.
God it's good having Hull back in the prem.
I certainly enjoyed watching that
The Spuds result was sweet as well. It’d be nice if the same could happen to a couple others tonight, may they all open their season dropping points.
sooner we get invincible day the better
Just wondering who I should hate watch tonight
I think the Newcastle Liverpool game will be worth a look
Bit worried about Liverpool, with the manager they have now
I mean we're playing, I know it's a friendly but might as well watch it first and then see which one's worth switching to when we're done
I regret saying this given how our game is going vs the villa game LOL
